food on the burner before turning
it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
• IMPORTANT: After a spill or
boilover, turn off the burner and
clean around it. After cleaning,
check that the burner functions
properly.
• Use the proper pan size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface
burner. If the pan is smaller than
the burner, part of the flame will
be exposed. This can cause
clothing to catch fire. Correct pan
size will also improve efficiency.
• To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil. The
handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned
inward and does not extend over
adjacent surface burners.

Correct positioning of the flame-
spreader crowns and burner caps
Before lighting the burners, check that the
flame spreader crowns are correctly fitted
with their respective burner caps, making
sure that the holes (A) in the burner are
aligned with the igniters and thermocouples
(B).
Practical tips for using the cooktop
For better burner efficiency and to minimize
gas consumption, use pans with lids and of
suitable size for the burner so that the flames
do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once
the contents come to the boil, turn down the
flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over.
To avoid burns or damage to the cooktop
or counter top, all cookware or griddles
must be placed within the perimeter of the
cooktop.
In the event of a power failure
In the event of a power failure, the burners
can be lit with a match. Press the control
knob for the selected burner and turn it
counterclockwise to the highest power
setting. Hold a lit lighter or match carefully
against the burner.
Cookware
Ideally, cookware should have a flat
bottom, straight sides, a tight-fitting lid and
medium-to-heavy thickness.
Rough cookware finishes may scratch the
appliance. Aluminum and copper may be
used in cookware as a core material or for
the base. However, when used as a base
they can leave permanent marks on the
appliance or grates.
Cookware properties are a factor in how
quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which
affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
Cookware diameters:
AUX= 12-16 cm / 5-6”
RR= 18-24 cm / 7-9”
SR= 18-24 cm / 7-9”
UR3= 22-26 cm / 8-10”
Cookware diameters with raised
pan support
AUX= 16-26 cm / 6-10”
RR= 24-28 cm / 9-11”
SR= 24-28 cm / 9-11”
UR3= 26-34 cm / 10-13”
NOTE: Always check that the
controls are in the (off)
position when you have finished
using the appliance.
Use
17
EN
the same characteristics as its base material.
For example, a non-stick finish on aluminum
cookware will take on the properties of
aluminum.
Refer to the following chart as a guide to
the physical properties of cookware.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for
most cooking tasks.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or glass-ceramic
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Heats slowly but unevenly.
• Best results with low to medium heat
settings.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use low heat settings.
Porcelain enameled steel or cast iron
• See stainless steel or cast iron.
Stainless steel
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
• Stainless steel cookware with an
aluminum or copper core or bottom
provides even heating.
Limitations on griddle use
A few precautions are necessary when
using a griddle:
• Griddles should not extend beyond the
perimeter of the cooktop.
• To avoid damaging the appliance and
the Teflon coating, aluminum griddles
with Teflon coating should not be
preheated for more than 5 minutes. After
preheating, place the food on the
griddle to cook; do not use the griddle
for more than 40 minutes.
• Do not use griddles or griddle plates to
cook or heat food on the ultra-rapid
burner (UR3).
• If one of the burners near the wooden
rear wall is an ultra-rapid burner (UR3),
leave a clearance of at least 160 mm
(6") between the wall and the edge of
the griddle.
• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle.
• Leave a clearance of at least 160 mm
(6") between the edge of the griddle
and the side wall.
• Do not place the griddle over more than
one burner at the same time.
• Do not use the griddle for more than
40 minutes.
