Practical Advice
Before using the hot plates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During
this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and
reaches its maximum resistance.
Practical Advice on Using the Half Fish-Kettle
Burner
The two central burners, or Half Fish-Kettle burners, are
eliptic in form and can be turned up to 90°. This makes
the cooktop more flexible in terms of how it can be used.
To turn the two central burners 90°, proceed as follows:
•
Make sure that the burners are cool;
•
Lift the burner completely out of its housing;
•
Replace it in its housing in the position desired;
•
Make sure that the burners are positioned correctly
before use.
In addition, the two cetnral burners can be used in tandem
or speartely with cookware of different shapes and sizes:
•
Double burner for a fish-kettle or oval cookware (Fig. A).
•
Double burner for a griddle or rectangular/square
cookware with minimum dimensions of 28x28 cm
(Fig. B)
•
Double burner for large cookware (diameter of 24-26
cm) (Fig. C).
•
Single burner for medium size cookware (diameter of
16-20 cm) (Fig. D).
