If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the recommended size, the flame will spread beyond the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to overheat. Pots must never be placed onto the control zones. Always turn the flame down or off before removing pots from the burners. Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the overheated splashes could easily ignite. For an easier ignition of the burner, light it before placing the pan on the pan support. Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used on the hob as unstable pans can cause an accident by tipping or spillage. By using a pressure cooker you will obtain further energy-saving and shorter cooking times. As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering. Avoid cooking with potstones, earthenware pots or cast iron plates. Also, avoid using aluminiun foil for protecting the top during operation.
