Safety and energy-saving advice

For a correct use of the hob
To ensure maximum burner efficiency
gas consumption, you should only use pots and
pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the
burner used (see table).
If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame
will spread beyond the bottom of the
vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
Pots must never be placed onto the
control zones.
Always turn the flame down or off
before removing pots from the burners.
Take care when frying food in hot oil
or fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
For an easier ignition of the burner, light
it before placing the pan on the pan
support.
Unstable or misshapen pans should not
be used on the hob as unstable pans can
cause an accident by tipping or spillage.
It is advisable to cook with lids on.
By using a pressure cooker you will obtain
further energy-saving and shorter
cooking times.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn
down the flame so that it will barely keep
the liquid simmering.
Avoid cooking with potstones,
earthenware pots or cast iron plates.
Also, avoid using aluminiun foil for
protecting the top during operation.
