7.2 Practical advice for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas
consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be used,
with covers and proportional in size to the burners (see
paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”).
To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface or to the
glass cover (only where applicable) top while cooking, all
recipients or griddles must be positioned within the
cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum distance
of 3-4 cm from the knobs.
