– Refer to the chart above and ensure that the pan diameter
falls within the minimum and maximum diameters given for
the burner you are using. A pan which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the pan base diameter is
too large, flames can spread out to the sides and damage
or burn the worktop, wall claddings or surrounding units
and also parts of the hob. The manufacturer cannot be
held liable for this type of damage.
– Wide, shallow pans are preferable to tall, narrow ones.
They will heat up faster.
– Select pans which are suitable for the burner they are to be
used on. In general: use larger diameter pans on the large
burners, and smaller diameter pans on the small burners.
– Pans with thick bases are preferable as these distribute
heat more evenly. With thin bases, there is a danger of
food overheating in places. Stir the food frequently.
– Any heat-resistant pans can be used on a gas burner.
