Using your hob in all simplicity
Which pans are best adapted for use on the gas burner ?
•
Recommended pan sizes:
Adjust the flames so that they do not
lick up the side of your pan.
Do not use a pan with a convex
or concave bottom.
Do not leave the gas on benea-
th an empty pan.
Do not use pans whose bases or
handles may partially cover
control knobs.
Some hobs are equipped with a specific
"WOK" type support stand, to be used
only on the central "Double Crown" ring.
This "WOK" type stand allows you to use
receptacles with a concave base. Used
with the "Double Crown" ring, it allows
better heat distribution around large
receptacles such as woks and large
diameter paella pans.

Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system installed (a
mechanically ventilated hood).
- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by opening a window
for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the power of the existing
mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.)
E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 4 gas-rings
Total power: 0,85 + 1,5 + 2,35 + 3,2 = 7,9 kW.
7,9 kW x 2 = 15,8 m
