CHOICE OF BURNER
(fig. 2.5)
The symbols or wordings printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the corre-
spondence 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 quicker.
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED ON THE HOB BURNERS
BURNER
MINIMUM
MAX.
Semi-rapid
16 cm (6” 19/64)
24 cm (9” 7/16)
Dual
26 cm (10” 3/16)
28 cm (11” 1/16)
Wok pans min 36 cm (14” 3/16) - max 40 cm (15” 3/4)
Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
CORRECT USE OF DUAL BURNER
(Fig. 2.6a - 2.6b)
The flat-bottomed pans are to be placed directly onto the pan-support.
When using a WOK you need to place the supplied stand in the burner to avoid any faulty
operation of the Dual burner (Figs. 2.6a - 2.6b).
IMPORTANT:
The special grill for wok pans (fig. 2.6b)
MUST BE PLACED ONLY
over the pan-rest for
the Dual burner.
Ensure that the handles of
cookware do not stick out over
the edge of the range, to avoid
them being knocked over by
accident. This also makes it more
difficult for children to reach the
cooking vessels.
