Roasting dish, clay pots or utensils that reflect heat downwards
Grid accessory
*If you notice that the glass is broken or cracked, set all the hotplate controls to “zero” (turned off) turn off the gas tap and disconnect the electricity. Then con- tact TEKA’s Technical Service.
*Do not use the glass surface as a stora- ge area.
*Do not put aluminium foil, tin foil or plas- tics on the surface of the glass.
*With five burner models, very large pans should be placed on the central burner so that they do not reflect heat
onto the kitchen unit worktop. With four burner models, use the grid accessory with this sort of pan.
Suggestions for using the
burners effectively
*Rapid burners should not be used with pans that have a small diameter, becau- se part of the flame will spread away from the pan, thus reducing performan- ce significantly. (See fig. 25).
*The burners should not be operated wit- hout there being a pan on them, or gas will be wasted and the grid will heat up excessively.
*When the burners are in operation they ought not to be exposed to strong

draughts, because as well as losing calo- rific power, there is the danger of the flame going out, which would lead to gas escaping and could cause an accident. This point is particularly important when the burners are operating at their mini- mum power.
*If the burner makes the pans smoky, or if the tip of the flame is yellow, the bur- ner should be cleaned. If this anomaly persists, contact the Technical Assistan- ce Service in order that the main air inlet can be adjusted or the gas supply pipe cleaned.
*Cast iron plates should not be used on the grid, because they reflect too much heat onto the cooker’s hotplate.
*Pans placed on the burners should not jut out beyond the edge of the hotplate, so that the reflected flame does not damage worktops with a plastic surface.
Maintenance of the burners
Whenever the gas taps are removed, you should change the washer that is between the taps and the supply pipe.
The burners are working properly when their flame is stable and a
In order to guarantee that the gas installa- tion is properly sealed and that the burners are working properly, the hob needs to be
