Using the hob correctly
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside and Fig. 2). It is also advisable, as soon as
a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will
barely keep the liquid simmering.
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Pots must not enter the control zone.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or il,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a
fire, if over-heated.
Prolonged cooking with potstones,
earthenware pans or cast-iron plates is
inadvisable. Also, do not use aluminium foil
to protect the top during use.
Make sure pots do not protrude over the edges of
the cooktop and that they are centrally positioned
on the rings in order to obtain lower gas
consumption.
Do not place unstable or deformed pots on the
rings: they could tip over or spill their contents,
causing accidents.
