Practical tips for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas
consumption, pans with flat, even bases and with lids
should be used, and their size should be in proportion to
the burner (see “4.3 Pan diameters”).
During cooking, in order to avoid burns or damage to the
hob top and to the glass lid (when present), all pans or
griddles must be positioned within the cooking hob
perimeter and a minimum distance of 3-4 cm must be
maintained from the knobs.
Make sure never to touch the lid glass with pots and pans that are still hot. The
glass could crack and break with the heat.

Using the griddle plate
A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate and the
side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is a triple crown burner,
leave a gap of at least 160 mm between this wall and the edge of the griddle
plate;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the griddle
plate;
• operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at maximum
power, then turn them down to the minimum setting. Never use the griddle
plate for more than 45 minutes.
