General Information about Gas Burners
Always use pots and pans with a level and smooth
bottom, which have the correct diameters for op-
timal results.
See the following chart for correct diameters:
Burner Diameter
Semi–rapid burner 14 tot 20 cm
Rapid burner 20 tot 24 cm

Wok burner

22 tot 28 cm *
Fish burner Ovale pan
*Applies to the bottom of the pan.
Boretti gas burners consist of three parts, na-
mely the base (Fig. 10a), the brass flame distri-
butor ring (Fig 10b) and the cap (Fig. 10c). There
are two holes in the base, one of which is for
the spark ignition, and the other for the thermo-
couple. The thermocouple safety system ensures
that the gas flow is cut off as soon as the flame
is extinguished by, for example, a draft. The ther-
mocouple must be heated thoroughly before you
can let go of the knob for the burner to remain on.
If you release the knob too quickly, the burner will
switch off because the thermocouple has been
insufficiently heated.
After pressing the knob, you will hear the spark
ignition click. It is now active for all burners. The
speed with which the flame ignites depends on
the position chosen. You can experiment until you
have found the quickest way to light your stove.
Once the flame is burning, keep the knob suppres-
sed for at least 5 seconds in order to activate the
thermocouple safety system. If you release the
knob too quickly, the flame will extinguish.
Caution: It is very important for the brass flame
distributor ring (Fig. 10d) to be positioned cor-
rectly on the base (Fig. 10a). You must verify that
the ridge on the brass flame distributor ring (Fig.
10e) is placed exactly in the groove (Fig. 10b) of
the aluminum base. In addition, the burner must
always be placed level to the surface in order to
prevent discoloration.
Not all of the burners have the same capacity,
and therefore result in different cook times. The
least powerful burner (semi–rapid burner) is nor-
mally used for sauces, soups and braised dishes.
Based on the power of this burner, we recommend
using a Boretti simmer plate.
Caution: When using the back burners, make sure
the pots do not touch the wall or back surface,
because the pots will become very hot and the
wall might not be heat proof. Make sure there is
always at least 2 cm of space between the wall
and the pots.
Caution: Make sure that the handles and grips
do not protrude, so that you will not bump into
them accidentally and the pans fall from the cook-
ing area.
Wok Burner
Boretti wok burners have 3 rings. Together these
provide balanced power of 4.5 kW max. This po-
wer is more than enough to be able to stir fry in
the proper manner. When lighting this burner, the
outside ring will ignite first, after which the two
inner rings will ignite. This is normal. Please take
a shorter cook time into account because of the
increased capacity of this burner.
