Bosch PGL985UC Operating Instructions - Page 11

Cooking warnings NO Do not use small pots on large burners. The flame should not touch the sides of the pot. Do not cook without a lid, or if the lid moves, as this causes a partial energy loss. YES Always use appropriate pots for each burner. This will prevent excessive consumption of gas and staining of the pots. Always use the lid. Do not use pots with irregular bottoms as they lengthen cooking time and increase energy consumption. Do not place the pot off-center over the burner, as tipping could result. Do not use large-diameter pots on the burners near the control knobs, which, once centered over the burner, could touch the knobs or be close enough to them that the temperature of that area increases, possibly causing damage. Never place pots directly on top of the burners. Do not use excessive weights or strike the cooktop with heavy objects. Use only pots, pans and casseroles with flat, thick bottoms. Center the pot over the burner. Place the pot over the grate. Make sure that the grates and burner covers are in the correct positions before using the appliance. Never use two burners or heat sources to heat a single pot. Handle pots carefully when they are on the cooktop. Avoid using roasting grilles, earthen pots, etc. for extended periods at maximum power. 11
