Recommendations for power levels
The specifications provided in the table are standard values.
Each gas cooking zone is equipped with a safety
thermocouple. This element detects if the flame has gone out
(e.g. if a pan has boiled over or there is a strong draught). The
gas supply is then turned off and the burner is automatically
reignited. If reignition is not possible, the gas supply is
stopped. A gas leak is therefore prevented.

Pan diameters
The heating and heat-through times for the cookware base, as
well as the cooking results, are significantly influenced by the
structure and material of the cookware. Cookware with a
thick base ensures more even heat distribution. In the case of
a thin base there is a risk of the food becoming overheated in
places. The cooktop may also become damaged.
Take special care not to overheat the cookware as the base
can become deformed. For this reason, you should never heat
up cookware when empty.
Cookware with an uneven base may tip over. A slight wobble
can never be completely ruled out.
Only use cookware with a diameter that is within the given
dimensions. If the diameter is too large, the hot gases flowing
outwards from under the base may damage the worktop or
any non-heat-resistant wall, e.g. with panelling, as well as part
of the cooktop and the cooktop extractor. Bora shall not be
held liable for any such damage.

Anti-trap protection
The electrical cover flap on the cooktop extractor has anti-trap

automatically stops moving. The cover flap returns to the starting position
and tries again. If the anti-trap protection triggers again, the error
message appears on the control knob (see"8Troubleshooting").
