signal to the tap. Should the burner go out,
the absence of a flame is detected by the
thermocouple, which makes the safety tap
cut off the flow of gas.
Suggestions for effective
use of the burners
* 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 figure 5).
* The burners should not be operated
without there being a pan on them, or
gas will be wasted and the grid will heat
up excessively. The pan should be cove-
red up, in order to save energy.
* When the burners are in operation, they
ought not to be exposed to strong
draughts, because as well as losing
calorific power, there is the danger of the
flame going out, which would lead to gas
escaping - except on hobs with the
safety feature - and could cause an acci-
dent. This point is particularly important
when the burners are operating at their
minimum 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, you should contact the Techni-
cal Assistance Service.
* Griddles and grills should not be used to
cook on a low heat - they can damage
the hob.
* Cast iron plates should not be used on
the grid, because they reflect too much
heat onto the hob.
* Pans placed on the burners should not
jut out past the edge of the hob, becau-
se the effect of the flame being reflected
from the pan can damage hobs whose
surfaces are not resistent to high tempe-
ratures.
Cleaning and looking after
the burners
* The grids should be cleaned with a non-
abrasive scourer when they have cooled
down.
* The burners (fig. 6), and the grooves in
particular, should be cleaned at regular
intervals; they should be put into warm,
soapy water and cleaned with a scourer
or a stiff brush.
* Do not clean the enamel diffusing
covers while they are still hot. Abrasive
products can cause damage: vinegar,
coffee, milk, salty water and tomato juice
