Always use receptacles that
are suitable for each burner,
so as to avoid wasting gas
and discolouring the
receptacles.
Always place the lid on the
receptacles.
Place the receptacle on
top of the pan support.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner
covers are in their correct
positions before using the
appliance.
Handle receptacles with
care when they are on
the cooking hob.
Do not use small
receptacles on large
burners. The flame
should never come up
the sides of the
receptacle.
Never cook without a lid or
with the lid half off - you are
wasting energy.
Do not use receptacles with
uneven bottoms, as they make
the food take longer to cook
and waste energy.
Do not place a receptacle on
one side of a burner, as it
could tip over.
Do not use large-diameter
receptacles on the burners
nearest to the control knobs,
as the flames might reach
them, making them so hot
that they could cause injury.
Never place receptacles
directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weight,
or strike the cooking hob with
heavy objects.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single
receptacle.
Avoid using griddles and
earthenware pots etc. at
maximum heat for a long time.
Only use one receptacle
per burner.
Use the additional cradle
support on the
double or
triple-flame burner.
Only use pots, saucepans
and frying pans with thick,
flat bottoms.
Always place the
receptacle right over the
burner, not to one side.
