Do not use pans with concave or convex bases
The symbols printed on the panel above 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 capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardize 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.
High – Altitude effects on burners:
The surface burners used on this unit range from 3,000 BTU to 8,600 BTU on natural gas installation under 2,000 feet above sea level. Burner strength is de- rated by 4% per 1000 feet.
