4 How to use the gas burners
General Information about Cooking
WARNING: Risk of fire from
overheated oil!
When you are heating oil, do not leave it
unattended.
Never try to extinguish the fire with
water! When oil has caught fire,
immediately cover the pot or pan with
a lid. Switch off the burner if safe to
do so and phone the Fire
Department.
CAUTION: Never allow the flame
to extend beyond the outer edge of
the cooking utensil. A higher flame
wastes energy and increases your
risk of being burned by the flame.
•
Before frying foods, always dry them
well and then place them gently into
the hot oil. Ensure that frozen foods
are completely thawed before frying.
•
Do not cover the vessel you are using
to heat oil.
•
Do not place empty vessels and
saucepans on burners that are
switched on. They could become
damaged.
•
Operating a burner without a vessel
or saucepan on it will cause damage
to the appliance. Turn off the burners
after cooking is complete.
•
As the surface of the appliance can
be hot, do not put plastic or aluminum
vessels on it.
•
Use flat-bottomed saucepans or
vessels only.
•
Put an appropriate amount of food in
saucepans and pots. This will avoid
unnecessary cleaning by preventing
the pots from overflowing.
•
Do not put the covers of saucepans
and pots onto cooking surfaces.
•
Place the saucepan in a manner so
that it is centered on the burner.
When you want to move the
saucepan onto another burner, lift
and place it onto the burner you want
instead of sliding it.
Gas Cooking
The size of the vessel and the flame
must match each other. Adjust the gas
flame so that it will not extend beyond
the bottom of the vessel and center the
vessel over the burner.
