maximum resistance.
Practical Advice on Using the Half Fish-Kettle Burner*
The two “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 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 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 26-28 cm) (Fig.C).
• Single burner for medium size cookware (diameter of 16-20 cm) (Fig.D).
