AUXILIARY GRATE FOR SMALL
PANS “
On request
“
(fig. 2.5).
This grate is to be placed on top of the
(smaller) auxiliary burner when using
small diameter pans, in order to prevent
them from tipping over.
CHOICE OF BURNER
(fig. 2.4)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the gas knobs indicate the corresponden-
ce between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen
according to the diameter and volume
capacity 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 quic-
ker.

CORRECT
NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate the
knob (fig. 2.7) o the desired setting.
The numbers from 1 to 6 indicate the
operating positions with increasing num-
ber corresponding to higher temperature
settings.
When the pan comes to the boil, turn the
heat down to the level desired.
ELECTRIC HOTPLATES
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar
to that of the normal hotplate, with 6
selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1).
The characteristics of this hotplate, which
is also equipped with a thermostatic cut-
off device, make it possible to:
✓
achieve the cooking temperature
rapidly
✓
make full use of its output power using
flat-bottomed pans
✓
limit the output power with unsuitable
saucepans.
Never cook food directly on the
electric hotplates! Always use a
saucepan or special container.
