Warnings and suggestions
for cooking
Don't use small
receptacles on large
burners.
The flame should never
come up the sides of the
receptacle.
Never cook without a lid or
with the lid half off - you are
wasting energy.
Do not use receptacles with
uneven bottoms, as they
make the food take longer
to cook and waste energy.
Never try to heat food by
placing aluminium tins or plastic
receptacles onto your cooking
hob, as the containers will melt.
Do not place a receptacle on
one side of a burner, as it could
tip over.
Do not use large-diameter
receptacles on the burners
nearest to the control knobs,
as the flames might reach
them, making them so hot
that they could cause injury.
Never place receptacles
directly on top of the burners.
Do not use excessive weight,
or strike the cooking hob with
heavy objects.
Never use two burners or heat
sources to heat one single
receptacle.
Avoid using griddles and
earthenware pots etc. at
maximum heat for a long time.

DON'T
DO
Always use receptacles that
are suitable for each burner,
so as to avoid wasting gas
and discolouring the
receptacles.
Always place the lid on the
receptacles.
Only use pots, saucepans
and frying pans with thick,
flat bottoms.
Always place the receptacle
right over the burner, not
to one side.
Place the receptacle on
top of the pan support.
Make sure that the pan
supports and burner
covers are in their correct
positions before using the
appliance.
Handle receptacles with
care when they are on
the cooking hob.
Only use one receptacle per
burner. Use the additional
cradle support on the triple-
flame burner.
