• COOKWARE TO BE USED WITH GAS BURNERS
• Which burner should you use depending on your cookware?
— Adjust the ring of flames so that they
do not extend beyond the edges of the
cookware (Fig. 01).
— Do not use cookware with a concave or
convex bottom (Fig. 02).
— Do not leave a gas burner operating with
empty cookware.
— Do not use cookware that partially covers
the knobs.
— Do not use cookware that goes over the
edges of the cooking hob.
— Do not use heat distributors, toasters
(Fig. 03), steel meat broilers or stewpots
that have feet resting on or touching the
glass top
— Only cooking hobs with the “high power”
burner are equipped with a special “wok”-
type grid.
This wok type grid allows you to use
concave cookware. Supplied only for “high
power” burners, it provides better flame
distribution under large receptacles such as
woks (Fig. 04).
— Keep natural ventilation
orifices in your home open or
install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical ventilation
hood).
— Intensive, prolonged use of the
appliance may require additional
ventilation; you can, for example,
open a window or provide more
effective ventilation or increase
power to the mechanical ventilation,
if such a system is installed (a
minimum air flow of 2 m3/ hr per kW
of gas power is required).
