Burner sizes
The hotplate has three burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:
Largest burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.
Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.
Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering food such as soups and stews.
The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4").
