Pans and pots
The heat from the burner is transferred via the
pan base. If the base is thick, the heat will take
longer to reach the contents, but the base will
have a more uniform temperature. Thin and light
pans will cause food to burn more easily.
To use the gas as efficiently as possible, it is
best to use a pan with a large diameter.
The tips of the flames are the hottest. If flames
escape around the sides of the pan, a great deal
of heat is lost.
Keeping the flame beneath the pan saves time
and gas and is the safest way to cook.
Cook with the lid on the pan. This can save on
energy by up to 50%.

How to use gas burners
Place the pot over the pot support fitted above
the hob.
For small pots with a diameter of less then
7˝ (175 mm), the trivet must be used in
combination with the 2-zone wok burner.
Make sure the trivet is securely fixed to the pot
support.
Push the appropriate control knob, turn it
counter-clockwise to the setting “HI”.
If the burner fails to ignite, check that:
the burner cap is positioned correctly;
the burner is clean and dry.
To switch off the gas supply to the burner, turn
the control knob, in a clockwise direction, to the
“OFF” position.
When cooking or boiling in large pots or pans,
ensure that there is a minimum distance of
2˝ (50 mm) between the pot and a heat-sensitive
worktop.
After combustion, the hot gases flow outwards
under the base of the pot and may consequently
burn the edge of the worktop if it is too close.
Make sure there is a minimum distance of
5/8˝ (15 mm) between the pot or pan and the
control panel. Never place a pot on the control
panel.
Right Wrong
Check to ensure that the burner is burning
correctly. The flames should be blue and
uniform.
Right Wrong
If the flames are not uniform, check to ensure
that the burner cap is properly positioned on the
ring.
If the flames are irregular and yellow, check to
ensure that a pressure regulator has been
installed. Do not use the appliance and inform
the installer.
