how to use the burners
CHOICE OF COOKWARE
• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. When the flames burn around the pan, a lot of energy is lost and the
handles from the pan may also become too hot.
• Use cookware that fit the burners in diameter. This reduces the cooking time.
• Use flat bottomed cookware.
• Always use the right amount of liquid for boiling food and use a lid to reduce the cooking time.
• The recommended pan diameter is around 2.5 to 3 times larger than the burner diameter, that is, for:
• for a simmer burner - a pan with a diameter of 90 to 150 mm
• for a semi-rapid burner - a pan with a diameter of 160 to 220 mm
• for a rapid burner - a pan with a diameter of 200 to 240 mm and the pan height should not be greater than its diameter.

CONTROL KNOBS FOR THE BURNERS
Before operating the hob please make sure that the burner caps are well positioned.
1. burner switched off
2. large flame
3. economical flame
4. thermocouple
5. ignition
Attention: always open the cover when using the cooker.
Each control knob has an automatic ignition.
• Press the control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the setting "large flame"
• Hold the control knob down fully for at least 3 seconds between the highest and the lowest flame. The integrated ignition
ignites the burner and the flame comes on.
• Hold down the control knob for 10 more seconds after the flame is on to activate the thermocouple. Otherwise the flame
extinguishes immediatelty.
• When the burner is not ignited after 15 seconds, wait one minute before trying to ignite it again.
• When the burner accidentally goes out, the thermocouple safety pilot in each burner will close the gas supply (by boiling
over, by drafts, no gas supply, etc.). No flame = no gas!
A correctly adjusted burner has a light blue flame with a clearly visible internal cone. Selection of the flame size depends on
the position of the control knob of the burner which has been set:
large flame
small flame ("economical flame")
burner switched off (gas supply is cut off)
Depending on requirements, the flame size can be set in a continuous manner.
