USING THE BURNERS
› To obtain the maximum efficiency without wasting gas, the pot diameter must be suitable
in relation to the burner (see the following table), to avoid the flame extending beyond the
bottom of the pan.
› Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids reach the boiling temperature, and the
reduced capacity to heat food or maintain the boil.
BURNERS POWER (W) ØPOT
Auxiliary 1000 10 - 14cm
Semi-rapid 1650 16 -18cm
Rapid 3000 20 -22cm
Triple crown 4000 24 - 26cm
PRECAUTIONS
› The appliance is equipped with a device that attempts to re-light the burner if the flame blows
out accidentally. If the burner does not light after 3 attempts, it will lock out and the letter “b”
will appear on the relevant display. In this case, perform the reset procedure as described in
the ‘Burner Reset’ section (page 17).
› Fat and oil can catch fire when overheated so use caution when cooking in fat or oil.
› Do not use sprays near the appliance when it is in operation.
› Do not place unstable or deformed pots on pan support: risk of overturning or spillage of
contents.
› Make sure pot handles are positioned correctly.

Any settings in progress on the selected burner are retained and the associated timer remains
active. The timer can be programmed with the burner OFF or ON, and it will start counting from
when the set cooking time is confirmed.
Once the set cooking time has elapsed, the timer-controlled burner will switch off and a
series of beeps will be emitted. Switching off a burner also deactivates the associated timer (if
programmed).
