14.2 Practical recommendations for burner use
For better burner yield, and minimum
gas consumption, it is necessary to use
fl at and regular bottom pots, equipped
with a cover and proportioned to the
burner, in order to avoid that the fl ame
goes up their sides (see the “Pots
diameter” paragraph [ Page 36 ]).
When boiling, reduce the fl ame as much
as needed to make sure that the liquid
does not overfl ow.
Fig. 14: pots use
During cooking, all containers or steak pans, also to avoid burns or damage to the
hob, must not exceed the measurements indicated in the paragraph “Pot diameter”
[ Page 36 ]). Do not heat empty pots or pans, because they may overheat.
When using greases or oils, pay careful attention because, when overheating, they
may catch on fi re. If a pan containing greases or oil catches on fi re, do not pour water
on it because it may cause burns; extinguish the fi re by covering the pan with a wet
cloth and disconnect the appliance from the power mains.

During operation, the cooker hob generates heat and humidity in the room it is in-
stalled in. Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated. A prolonged used of the ap-
pliance with some or all burners may require additional ventilation such as opening a
window and/or a greater suction power from the exhaust hood.
