3. Visually check the burner covers correct
positioning.
IMPORTANT
• Each burner component must be positioned
horizontally and must correctly interlock with
each other.
• Check that they are fitted correctly by moving
each component gently. If the components do
not fit correctly or are inclined, adjust the posi-
tion of each component until it remains fixed in
position.
Cooktop grates placement
First position the right and left side grates (1) and then
the central one (2).
Position the grates so that the raised side always faces
towards the backguard.
USING THE COOKTOP
Cooking utensils
Ideally, cookware should have a flat bottom, straight
sides, a tight-fitting lid and medium-to-heavy thick-
ness. Rough cookware finishes may scratch the cook-
top surface. Aluminum and copper may be used in
cookware as a core material or for the base. However,
when used as a base, it can leave permanent marks
on the rangetop or grates. Cookware properties are a
factor in how quickly and evenly heat is distributed,
which affects cooking results. A non-stick finish has the
same characteristics as its base material. For example,
a non-stick finish on aluminum cookware will take on
the properties of aluminum. Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Some utensils were not designed to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop. Refer to the following
chart as a guide to the physical properties of cook-
ware.
Aluminum
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cook-
ing tasks.
Cast iron
• Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or glass-ceramic
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Heats slowly but unevenly.
• Best results with low to medium heat settings.
Copper
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Earthenware
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
• Use low heat settings.
