Use pans which are the right 

size for each burner.
Do not use small pans on 

large burners. The flame must 

not touch the sides of the pan.

Do not use damaged pans, 

which do not sit evenly on the 

hob. Pans may tip over.
Only use pans with a thick, flat 

base.

Do not cook without using a lid 

and make sure the lid is 

properly fitted. This wastes 

energy.

Always place the ovenware 

centrally over the burner. 

Otherwise, there is a risk that it 

may tip over.

Place the pans on the pan 

supports, never directly on the 

burner.
Make sure that the pan 

supports and burner caps are 

correctly positioned before 

using the appliance.
Pans should be placed on the 

hob carefully.
Do not strike the hob and do 

not place excessive weight on 

it.

Never use two burners or heat 

sources to heat one single 

pan.
Do not use grill pans, 

earthenware casserole dishes, 

etc. for a long period of time 

on maximum power.
