– 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.
Using cookware that is too large can
cause the flames to spread out and
damage or burn the worktop, wall
claddings or surrounding units and
also parts of the cooktop or other
appliances. Using pans of the correct
size improves efficiency.
Any cookware that has a diameter
smaller than the pan supports or that
does not rest safely (without
wobbling) on the pan supports is
dangerous and should not be used.
– 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.

Suitable cookware

– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant cookware can be
used on a gas burner.
– Cookware with a thick base is
preferable, as it distributes heat more
evenly. Cookware with a thin base
may cause food to overheat in some
places. To avoid this, stir the food
frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan
supports supplied with the appliance.
Never place it directly on the burners.
– Position the cookware centrally on
the pan support so that it sits
securely and cannot tip. There might
still be slight movement, which is not
a cause for concern.
– Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
