CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.3)
The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capac-
ity of the container to be warmed.
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.

Make sure that the handles of
cookware do not stick out over
the edge of the range, to avoid
them being knocked over by
accident. This also makes it more
difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.

WRONG
Fig. 2.4b
CORRECT
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases (apart from wok pans used with the
special pan-support fitted)
CORRECT USE OF TRIPLE-RING BURNER (Fig.-2.4a - 2.4b)
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any
faulty operation of the triple-ring burner (Figs.-2.4a - 2.4b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grille for wok pans (fig. 2.4b) MUST BE PLACED ONLY over the pan-rest
for the triple-ring burner.
