3 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE
COOKWARE SUITABLE FOR GAS BURNERS
•
• Which burner should you use for your pans?
High-power burner
Triple ring burner
— Adjust the ring of flames so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the pan
(Fig. 01).
— Do not use cookware with a concave or
convex bottom (Fig. 02).
— Do not leave empty cookware over an
ignited gas burner.
— Do not use cookware that partially covers
the knobs.
— Do not use cookware that goes over the
edges of the cooking hob.
— Do not use heat regulators, toasters,
griddle pans or stewpots with feet which sit
on or touch the glass top.
— Ensure that all natural ventilation is
used or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical ventilation hood).
— Intensive, prolonged use of the appliance
may require additional ventilation, for
example by opening a window, or more
effective ventilation, by increasing the
power of any mechanical ventilation device
(a minimum air flow of 2 m
gas power is required).
Example for a 2 gas burner hob
total power: 0.85 + 1.5 + 0.85 + 3.5 = 4.35 kW
4.35 kW x 2 = 8.70 m

— Using a gas cooking appliance generates
heat and humidity in the room where it is
installed.
Make sure that your kitchen is well-
ventilated.
— As a safety measure, remember to shut
off the mains gas supply or the
butane/propane gas cylinder when not in
use.
