- Select cookware that fits the size of
the burner:
Large diameter = large burner
Small diameter = small burner
- Using cookware that is too large can
cause the flames to spread out and
damage the surrounding countertop
or other appliances. Choosing the
right cookware size improves effi-
ciency.
Any cookware that has a diameter
smaller than the grates or which does
not rest in a stable position on the
grates (without wobbling) is danger-
ous and should not be used.
- Unlike cookware that is used on an
electric cooktop, the bottom of cook-
ware used on a gas cooktop does not
have to be flat to deliver effective
cooking performance.
- When purchasing pots and pans,
keep in mind that the diameter indi-
cated is typically the top diameter,
not the bottom diameter.
- All heat-resistant cookware is suitable
for use.
- Cookware with a thick bottom is
preferable, as it distributes heat more
evenly. Cookware with a thin bottom
may cause food to overheat in certain
spots. To avoid this, stir the food fre-
quently.
- Always place the cookware on the
grates supplied. Do not place cook-
ware directly on the burner.
- Position the cookware on the grates
so that it cannot tip. There is always a
possibility of a slight tilt, despite the
proper position.
- Do not use pots or pans that have
bottoms with pronounced edges.
