CHOICE OF BURNER
(fig. 6)
The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence
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.

Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Make sure 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.
