CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 2.4)
The symbols printed on the panel beside the gas knobs indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capa- city of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating poten- tial of the burners in order not to jeopardise the efficiency of the burners, bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily mean that boiling conditions are reached quicker.
