Practical advice for using the burners
For better burner performance and minimum gas
consumption, flat bottomed, even recipients must be used,
with covers and proportional in size to the burners (see
paragraph “7.3 Diameter of containers”).
To avoid overcooking or damage to the surface top while
cooking, all recipients or griddles must be positioned
within the cooking hob perimeter and must be a minimum
distance of 3-4 cm from the knobs.

Using a griddle plate
A few precautions are necessary if you wish to use a griddle plate:
• leave a gap of at least 160 mm between the edge of the griddle plate
and the side wall;
• if one of the burners close to the wooden rear wall is of triple flame
type, leave a gap of at least 160 mm between this wall and the edge of
the griddle plate;
• do not allow the burner flames to extend beyond the edge of the
griddle plate;
• operate the burners underneath the griddle plate for 10 minutes at
maximum power, then turn them down to the minimum setting. Never
use the griddle plate for more than 45 minutes.
