[. . . ] Overheated fats or oils can quickly catch fire. Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. It is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the society declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals. [. . . ] * The eventual replacement of the supplying cord must be carried on by the After Sales Service or by an agreed engineer, with a cord whose characteristics must be similar to the original one. If you have changed the type of gas, it is important to verify the flame stability at the minimum regulation. Turn the by-pass screw until a low flame is visible. Turn the control knob from minimum to maximum position to check that it is satisfactory. B) Butane-propane gas : The by-pass screw should be screwed fully home, without being locked. THE ULTRA-RAPID BURNER or "4 RINGS" BURNER, power rating 3, 5 kW : use this burner for bringing to boil, for cooking large quantities, and generally for all foods requiring rapid cooking. THE FAST BURNER, power rating 2, 5 kW : use the large burner for all foods requiring rapid cooking. THE SEMI-FAST BURNER, power rating 1, 75 kW or THE AUXILIARY BURNER, power rating 1kW : it is ideal for stewing, sauces and slow cooking. The pan supports fitted on the 1, 75 kW burners are working as Mijorose when the burner is set on low rate. On the slow setting, the flame only comes into contact with the cast iron burner cap. This is ideal for slow cooking, as the heat is evenly distributed under the pan and food doesn't dry out or stick to the bottom of the pan. On the high position, the flames heat directly the pan allowing all cookings on quick gas. For a proper use of the burners, choose pans which match the dimensions given below : * Ultra-rapid or "4 Rings" Ø 18 cm and more * Rapid Ø 16 to 18 cm * Semi-fast Ø 12 cm * Auxiliary Ø 10 cm Pans with curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended. Do not place the same pan on two burners. Food is not cooked any more quickly this way. In fact, it is subjected to severe agitation, which may cause the food to lose some of its flavour. To save gas, make sure that the flames do not overlap the bottom of the pan. Do not use the gas burner with an empty pan. When the burners are not in service, the general gas supply tap should always be turned off. The high temperatures reached on the hob surface will give to the glass a thermic shock which will lead to an irreversible brittleness. Each burner is fitted with automatic ignition. The ignition can be made with one hand, while you have the pan in the other hand. [. . . ] Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean. If there are still some stubborn stains : . The re-fitting must be perfect because a bad positioning can bring serious anomalies in the combustion. [. . . ]
