OPERATION
Flame selection
At the burners adjusted correctly, the ames should be light blue, and the inner cone should be clearly visible. The size
of ame depends on the position of the related burner control knob.
Burner ON, large ame - Burner ON, small ame
(saving mode)
Burner OFF
See also g. 8 for various operating options (ame size selection); the burner should be set at a large ame during the
initial phase of cooking to bring the food to boiling, and then the knob should be turned to the saving ame position to
maintain the cooking. It is also possible to adjust the ame size stepless.
It is prohibited to adjust the ame in the range between the Burner OFF and Burner ON large ame positions.
Signicant quantities of energy can be saved if the appliance is used correctly, parameters set correctly, and appropriate cookware
is used. e savings can be as follows:
l Up to 60 per cent savings when proper pots are used,
l Up to 60 per cent savings when the unit is operated correctly and the suitable ame size is chosen.
It is a prerequisite for ecient and energy-saving operation of the cooktop that the burners are kept clean at all times (in particu-
lar the ame slots and nozzles).
Suitable pans
Selection of vessels
Bear in mind that the diameter of the pot must be at least slightly larger than that of the ame. Cover the pots with lids.
It is recommended to use pots the diameters of which exceed the diameters of the ame by 2.5 – 3 times;
l For the small burner, the most suitable pot will be 90140 mm in diameter,
l For the medium burner, the most suitable pot will be 140220 mm in diameter,
l For the large burner, the most suitable pot will be 200240 mm in diameter,
l For the WOK burner, the most suitable pot will be 220260 mm in diameter,
l The height of the pot should not be larger than its diameter.
