CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near each knob, there is a diagram that indicates which burner
is controlled by that knob.
Select the burner that is most suitable for the diameter and capacity of the pan to be
used.
As an indication, the burners and the pans must be used in the following way:
It is important that the base diameter of the pot is at least the same diameter as the
burner ring to obtain an efficient heat transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position pan handles so that they cannot be accidentally knocked.
