Using the hob
Practical hints
The burners
To ensure maximum burner efficiency,
you should only use pots and pans with a
flat bottom fitting the size of the burner
used.
Triple crown burner
Rapid burner
Front Semi-rapid burner
Rear Semi-rapid burner
Auxiliary burner
• For easier lighting, proceed before
putting a pan on the pan support.
• Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
• Take care when frying food in hot oil
or fat, as the overheated splashes
could easily ignite.
• If you use a saucepan which is smaller
than the recommended size, the flame
will spread beyond the bottom of the
vessel, causing the handle to overheat.
• Prolonged cooking with potstones,
earthenware pans or cast-iron plates
is inadvisable. Also, do not use alumi-
nium foil to protect the top during
use.
• Make sure pots do not protrude over
the edges of the cooktop and that they
are centrally positioned on the rings in
order to obtain lower gas consumption.
• Do not place unstable or deformed pots
on the rings: they could tip over or spill
their contents, causing accidents.
• Pots must not enter the control zone.

• If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.
• As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn
down the flame so that it will barely
keep the liquid simmering.
