Advice for using the hotplate
burners
- When the contents of a pan come to a boil,
there is no need to continue boiling hard as
the food does not cook any quicker. It will
cook better over a smaller flame kept to a
light boil.
- Adjust the flame so that there is no spillage
from the pan. Pans should be large enough
for the flame to cover the base without
protruding over the sides, otherwise there is
a risk of damaging the pan handle fitted
above.
- Do not use pans with a rounded base or a
base diameter smaller than 12 cm at
reduced flow.

KEEP HOT
Appliances with a glass
cover (depending on
model): the glass cover can
shatter if it is heated.
Ensure that all the burners
are switched off before
closing the cover.
- Some appliances are equipped with a
small, removable pan support for small
pans. This can be used on all of the gas
hotplate burners on the appliance.
For simmering on low, these sizes can be reduced respectively to 12, 14 and 16 cm.
We recommend using pans with the following base diameters:
Caution
Cookers with a glass top:
If the surface is cracked, disconnect
the appliance from the power supply
to avoid any risk of electrical shock.
Alert your installer. Do not use the
hob until it is repaired.
Do not use pans that protrude
beyond the edges of the hotplate.
