Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:
•Use appropriate cookware for each burner (see table) so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
•Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
•When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
