Suggestions for using the

burners effectively

*Fast burners should not be used with cookware that has a small diameter, because part of the flame will spread away from the cookware and thus redu- ce performance significantly. (See fig. 9).

*If the glass is broken or cracked, turn all of the control knobs of the hob to the off position as well as the gas intake tap and disconnect the electrical current. Contact TEKA'S Technical Service.

*Do not keep items on the glass surface.

*Do not leave aluminium foil, tinfoil or plastic wrap on the glass surface.

*In these five-burner models, large cook- ware should be placed on the central burner in order to prevent it from reflec- ting heat on the kitchen unit worktop.

*The burners should not be operated without there being cookware on them, or gas will be wasted and the pan sup- port will heat up excessively.

*When the burners are in operation, they should not to be exposed to strong draughts, because of the loss of heat output.

*If the burner makes the cookware smoky or if the tip of the flame is yellow, the burner should be cleaned. If the problem persists, you should contact the Technical Assistance Service in order to adjust the primary air intake or clean the gas piping.

*Cookware placed on the burners should not jut out past the edge of the hotplate, because the effect of the flame being reflected from the cookware can dama- ge hobs with plastic surfaces.

*Use pans with a flat base.
