Cooktop Usage Warnings - Siemens 5551 Operating Instructions Manual

Cooking warnings
Do not use small pots on
large burners. The flame
should not touch the sides of
the pot.
Do not cook without a lid, or
if the lid moves, as this causes
a partial energy loss.
Do not use pots with
irregular bottoms as they
lengthen cooking time and
increase energy consumption.
Do not place the pot
off-center over the burner, as
tipping could result.
Do not use large-diameter
pots on the burners near
the control knobs, which, once
centered over the burner,
could touch the knobs or be
close enough to them that the
temperature of that area in-
creases, possibly causing
damage.
Never place pots
directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weights
or strike the cooktop with
heavy objects.
Never use two burners or
heat sources to heat a single
pot.
Avoid using roasting grilles,
earthen pots, etc. for
extended periods at
maximum power.
NO YES
Always use appropriate
pots for each burner.
This will prevent excessive
consumption of gas and
staining of the pots.
Always use the lid.
Use only pots, pans and
casseroles with flat, thick
bottoms.
Center the pot over
the burner.
Place the pot over
the grate.
Make sure that the grates
and burner covers
are in the correct
positions before using the
appliance.
Handle pots carefully when
they are on the cooktop.
