Correct positioning of the flame
spreaders and burner caps
Before lighting the cooktop burners, make
sure that the flame spreaders are correctly
positioned in their housings with their
respective burner caps. Make sure that the
holes in the flame spreaders (1) are aligned
with the igniters (2) and thermocouples (3).
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 flames
do not reach up the sides of the pan. Once
the contents come to a boil, turn down the
flame far enough to ensure that the liquid
does not boil over.
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
rangetop. Aluminum and copper may be
used in cookware as a core material or
base. However, when used as a base they
can leave permanent marks on the
rangetop or grates.
Cookware properties are a factor in how
quickly and evenly heat is distributed, which
affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has
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.
Cookware diameters:
• Auxiliary: 12 - 14 cm.
• Semi-rapid: 16 - 24 cm.
• Rapid: 18 - 26 cm.
• Ultra-rapid: 18 - 28 cm.
