USING THE HOB CORRECTLY To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the table beside). It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. · Use only pans or pots with flat bottom. 1 FO 0204 The Hob Lid Special lids are available on request which can give an aesthetic alignment with the kitchen units. Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil, since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire, if over-heated. · It is recommended that the lid should never be closed when the burners are still hot. 28 2...
