CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.4)
The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
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 jeopardize 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 quicker.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE H
OBS
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of
reach.
NORMAL HOTPLATE
To turn on the electric hotplate, rotate the knob (fig. 3.1 - 3.2) to
the desired setting. The numbers from 1 to 6 or 1 to 12 indicate
the operating positions with increasing number corresponding to
higher temperature settings When the pan comes to the boil, turn
the heat down to the level desired.
Remember that the hotplate will continue to produce heat for
about five minutes after it has been turned off.
RAPID HOTPLATE (red dot)
The rapid hotplate control knob is similar to that of the normal
hotplate, with 6 or 12 selectable heating positions (fig. 3.1 - 3.2).
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
suitable container.
•
Caution! the cooling hob becomes very hot during operation.
•
Keep children well out of reach.
