use cookware with a flat bottom the diameter of which is
not less than that of the hot plate.

Practical Advice

Before using the hot plates for the first time, you
should heat them at maximum temperature for
approximately 4 minutes, without any pans. During
this initial stage, their protective coating hardens and
reaches its maximum resistance.

Practical Advice on Using the Half Fish-Kettle
Burner
The two central burners, or Half Fish-Kettle burners, are
eliptic in form and can be turned up to 90°. This makes
the cooktop more flexible in terms of how it can be used.

To turn the two central burners 90°, proceed as follows:

•

Make sure that the burners are cool;

•

Lift the burner completely out of its housing;

•

Replace it in its housing in the position desired;

•

Make sure that the burners are positioned correctly
before use.

In addition, the two cetnral burners can be used in tandem
or speartely with cookware of different shapes and sizes:

•

Double burner for a fish-kettle or oval cookware (Fig. A).

•

Double burner for a griddle or rectangular/square
cookware with minimum dimensions of 28x28 cm
(Fig. B)

•

Double burner for large cookware (diameter of 24-26
cm) (Fig. C).

•

Single burner for medium size cookware (diameter of
16-20 cm) (Fig. D).
