Do not use small diameter cookware on large
burners.
The flame should never come up the sides of
the cookware.
Avoid cooking without a lid or with the lid half
off
-as this wastes energy
Do not use a pan with a convex or concave
bottom.
Do not place cookware on one side of a
burner, as it could tip over.
Do not use cookware with a large diameter
on the burners near the controls, which when
placed on the middle of the burner may touch
the controls or be so close to them that they
increase the temperature in this area and
may cause damage.
Never place cookware directly on top of the
burner.
Do not place anything, eg. flame tamer,
asbestos mat, between pan and pan support
as serious damage to the appliance may
result.
Do not use excessive weight and do not hit
the cooktop with heavy objects.
■ It is not recommended to use roasting pans, frying pans or grill stones
heated simultaneously on several burners because the resulting heat
build-up may damage the appliance.
■ Do not touch the top plate and trivet whilst in use for a certain period
after use.
■ As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
