7.2 Practical advice for using the burners
For better use of the burners and lower gas
consumption, use covered containers that are
proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame
from licking the sides (see paragraph “7.3 Diameter
of containers
”). When water reaches the boiling
point, lower the flame so that it doesn’t overflow. To
avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or
griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of
the hob, at a distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs. All
containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom.
When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that
they don’t overheat and catch fire. If the flame
accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and
wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the
burner.

7.4 Electric elements
7.4.1 Turning on electric elements
Hobs may be fitted with an electric element of
varying diameter. The electric element is controlled
by a switch and is turned on by rotating the
appropriate knob to the desired position.
Raised indicators make for easier and clearer reading and use of the
controls, each knob being connected to its corresponding electric
element by a rib. Setting corresponds to the elongated part of the knob
or to the marking on it. When the electric element is powered, an
appropriate indicator light comes on in the front panel.
