Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm (3

/

´ ´ ) or
more than 280 mm (11 ´ ´) / 320 mm (12
1
/
2
´ ´ ) for
the large (WOK) burner should not be used.
When using large pots, pay attention to keeping to
a minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´ ´) between the
cooking vessel and combustible surroundings.
A minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´ ´) must be
observed between the control knob / control panel
and the pot or pan. The pot or pan should not touch
the control panel.
When buying pots, pay attention to the fact
that the manufacturer frequently specifies the top
pot diameter, which is generally larger than the
diameter of the base.
Observe the manufacturer’s specifications! Use
cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as
being “suitable for gas". Use pots with heat resistant
handles.
Use pots and pans with a thick base, because heat
distribution is particularly improved in the low
setting. Using the correct size of pots and pans for
the burner ensures improved cooking performance
and energy efficiency.
To ensure an even distribution of heat, center the
pot above the burner. The flames should be
covered by the pot base.
Place the pot or pan securely and level on the pot
grid. Turn the pan handle to the side, it should not
point to the front. In order to guarantee a secure
position on the pot grid, the pot base should be flat
and not warped or dented.
Placing a fitting lid on the pot will shorten cooking
times. Through a glass lid you can watch the
cooking progress without having to take the lid off.
