For best efficiency and to ensure utensil handle does not overheat, place the utensil centrally on
the burner and adjust the flame height so all the flame remains under the utensil.
Do not place anything eg. Flame tamer or asbestos mat between pan and pan
support as serious damage to the appliance may result.
Do not remove the pan support and enclose the burner with a wok stand as this
will concentrate and deflect heat onto the hotplate.
Do not use large pots or heavy weights which can bend the pan support or
deflect flame onto the hotplate.
Locate the pan centrally over the burner so that it is stable and does not
overhang the appliance.
Use only a wok support supplied or recommended by the manufacturer of the
appliance.
