KG 291		Recommended		Minimum
		pot diameter		pot diameter
Normal Burner	7 3/4		´´- 9 1/2 ´´	3 1/2 ´´
Large Burner	9 1/2		´´- 11 ´´	3 1/2 ´´
Large Burner (Wok) 9 1/2			´´- 12 1/2 ´´	6 1/4 ´´

Pots with a diameter of less than 90 mm (3 1/2 ´´) or more than 280 mm (11 ´´) / 320 mm (12 1/2 ´´) for the large (WOK) burner should not be used. When using large pots, pay attention to keeping to a minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´´) between the cooking vessel and combustible surroundings.

A minimum distance of 50 mm (2 ´´) must be observed between the control knob / control panel and the pot or pan. The pot or pan should not touch the control panel.

When buying pots, pay attention to the fact

that the manufacturer frequently specifies the top pot diameter, which is generally larger than the diameter of the base.

Observe the manufacturer’s specifications! Use cooking utensils that the manufacturer states as being “suitable for gas". Use pots with heat resistant handles.

Use pots and pans with a thick base, because heat distribution is particularly improved in the low setting. Using the correct size of pots and pans for the burner ensures improved cooking performance and energy efficiency.

To ensure an even distribution of heat, center the pot above the burner. The flames should be covered by the pot base.

Place the pot or pan securely and level on the pot grid. Turn the pan handle to the side, it should not point to the front. In order to guarantee a secure position on the pot grid, the pot base should be flat and not warped or dented.

Placing a fitting lid on the pot will shorten cooking times. Through a glass lid you can watch the cooking progress without having to take the lid off.
