Practical Advise on Using the Burners
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:
•
Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see
table) in order to prevent the flame from reaching the
sides of the pot or pan;
•
Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the
lid on;
•
When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to
"Low".

N.B. On the models supplied with a reducer shelf, remember
that this should be used only for the Double flame internal
(DCDR internal) burner when you use casserole dishes with
a diameter under 12 cm.
To identify the type of burner, refer to the designs in the
section entitled, "Burner and Nozzle Specifications".

For best performance, keep in mind the following:
•
All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic
glass cooking surface. However, it is important that the
bottom be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottoms
distribute heat more evenly.
•
Use cookware the diameter of which is at least as large
as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by
the heating element is used.
•
Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and
clean to insure good contact between the cookware
and the cooking surface. This will also increase the life
of the pots and of the ceramic glass surface as well.
•
Do not use the same cookware that you use for gas
burners because the concentrated heat they produce
can deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will
not achieve best results when using these pots on the
ceramic glass surface.
Notice: The glue used to seal the glass surface may leave
traces on the appliance. We recommend that the module
be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner before being used
the first time. During the first few hours of use, you may
detect the smell of rubber; this will disappear after a short
time.
