Notes on the use of different sized
utensils
Min. base diameter
pots / pans = 15 cm
Max. rim diameter
pots / pans = 28 cm
– Refer to the information above and
ensure that the pan diameter falls
within the minimum and maximum
diameters given for the burner. A pan
base which is too small will be
unstable on the pan support. If the
pan diameter is too large, flames can
spread out to the sides and damage
or burn the worktop, wall claddings or
surrounding units and also parts of
the appliance. Miele cannot be held
liable for this type of damage.
– Remember when purchasing new
pans that manufacturers usually refer
to the diameter at the top of the pan
in their documentation.
– Any heat-resistant pans can be used
on a gas burner.
– Pans with thick bases are preferable
as these distribute heat more evenly.
With thin bases, there is a danger of
food overheating in places. Stir the
food frequently.
– Always place cookware on the pan
support supplied with the appliance.
Never place it directly on the burner.
– Position the pan centrally on the pan
support so that it sits securely and
cannot tip. A little movement is quite
normal and not a cause for concern.
– Do not use pots or pans with base
supports.
