If the burners turn off accidentally, a safety device will trip after about 20 seconds to cut off gas flow (even with the gas tap open). 55 Instructions for the user 6. 2 Practical advice for using the cooking hob burners For better use of the burners and lower gas consumption, use covered containers that are proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from licking the sides (see paragraph "0 Diameter of containers"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it doesn't overflow. To avoid burns or damage to the hob, all recipients or griddle plates must be placed within the perimeter of the cooking hob. All containers have to have a flat and smooth bottom. When using fats or oils, be extremely careful that they don't overheat and catch fire. If the flame accidentally goes out, turn off the control knob and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner. 6. 3 Diameter of containers BURNERS Ø min.
