– Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner
– Refer to the chart above and ensure
that the pan diameter falls within the
minimum and maximum diameters
given for the burner you are using. If
the pan diameter is too large, flames
can spread out to the sides and
damage or burn the worktop, wall
claddings or surrounding units and
also parts of the cooktop or other
appliances. Pans which are too small
for the pan supports, or pans which
do not sit securely on the pan
supports, are dangerous and should
not be used.
The correct size of pan improves
cooking efficiency.

– Unlike pans that are used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of pans
used on a gas cooktop do not have
to be flat to deliver good cooking
results.
– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant pans can be used
on a gas burner.
– Pans with thick bases are preferable
as these distribute heat more evenly.
With thin bases, there is a danger of
food overheating in places. Stir the
food frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan
support supplied with the appliance.
Never place it directly on the burner.
– Position the pan centrally on the pan
support so that it sits securely and
cannot tip. A little movement is quite
normal and not a cause for concern.
– Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
