Practical Advice on Using the Burners
To use the burners as efficiently as possible, some
basic guidelines should be followed:
• Use cookware that is the right size for each burner
(see table) in order to prevent the flame from
spreading beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Only use cookware with flat bottoms.
• As soon as the boiling point is reached, turn the
knob to the lowest setting.
• Always use lids with pots and pans.
On models equipped with a reduction grid, the grid
should only be used with the auxiliary burner when
cookware with a diameter of less than 12 cm is used.
1. Press the ignition button and then push in and turn
the control knob of the chosen burner anti-clockwise
to the large flame symbol. Continue to press the
ignition button until the sparks light the gas.
2. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the desired
setting. Only turn the control knob between the
large flame symbol and the small flame symbol for
adjusting the setting.
3. To turn off, turn the control knob fully clockwise to
the symbol O.
Each burner is fitted with a spark ignitor for lighting
Use of Hotplates
the gas. To ensure rapid lighting of the burners every
time they are used, the ignitors must be kept clean and
dry. Remove any food spillage or cleaning materials
from the electrode using a small nylon brush such as a
tooth brush. Access to the electrode can be achieved
by lifting off the loose burner parts carefully when the
burners are cool.
When the hotplate burner bodies and caps are
removed for cleaning, be careful not to drop any food
particles or cleaning materials into the burner bases, to
avoid the possibility of blocking the gas jets.
If aluminium based pans are used, a silvery deposit
may appear on the top edge of the pan support
fingers. See ‚Care and Cleaning’ section for cleaning
information.
