| The “separate double flame” burner* | ||
| This burner consists of two concentric burners which | ||
| can operate either together or separately. | ||
| Use of the double flame on the maximum setting gives | ||
| a very high power which reduces cooking times with | ||
| respect to conventional burners. |
| |
| Moreover the double flame crown provides a more | ||
| uniform distribution of heat on the bottom of the pan, | ||
| when using both burners on minimum. | ||
| To ensure that the | ||
| its full potential, never set the inside ring to | ||
| minimum and the outside ring to maximum at the | ||
| same time. |

Practical advice on using the burners
To ensure the burners operate efficiently:

•Always use cookware with a flat base and a cover.
•When the contents of the pan reach boiling point, turn the knob to minimum.
