CHOICE OF BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capac-
ity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
Fig. 2.4
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED
ON THE HOBS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAX.
Auxiliary 6 cm 14 cm
Semirapid 16 cm 20 cm
Rapid 20 cm 24 cm
Triple-ring 24 cm 28 cm
Maximum diameter for woks: 36 cm.
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise the efficiency of the burners,
bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a
large burner does not necessarily mean
that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.
Only used flat bottomed pans.
Lighting the burners
WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION
To light one of the burners, press and turn
the corresponding knob to the maximum
flow position (large flame ) and keep
the knob pressed down until the gas is lit
(fig. 2.2).
Turn the gas tap to the position required.
Whenever special conditions of the gas
supplied locally make it difficult to light
the burner with the knob in the
maximum flow position, repeat the
operation with the knob in the minimum
flow position.
GRILL FOR SMALL
COOKWARE
(fig. 2.3)
Put it on the auxiliary burner (the small-
est) grid when small cookware is being
used to prevent the cookware from tip-
ping over.
Fig. 2.3
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
