Look at this diagram above which shows you which utensils to use on the hotplates and which utensils should not be used.
• ALWAYS use pots and pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste electricity and cook slowly.
• ALWAYS use pots and pans which are slightly larger than the hotplate. Small pans waste electricity.
• ALWAYS put pots and pans which are dry on the hotplates.
• DO NOT use pots and pans which are too large.
Pans which overhang the hotplate more than 50mm can damage enamel cooktops.
USING HOTPLATE BURNERS
Using the Burners of your Gas Cooker
Check the hotplates on your cooker against the diagram
below before you use your cooker for the first time.
NOTE: To save gas, place pots and pans centrally over the
burners and adjust gas so that flames do not go past edges.
