Maintenance of the glass

* When using a roasting dish, clay pots or
any utensil that reflects heat down-
wards, it is essential that the grid acces-
sory is used, for otherwise the high tem-
perature that is reflected downwards
could damage the glass or the burners.
* The grid accessory can be used when
cooking with pans that have a small
base or when a very low heat is requi-
red, for slow cooking or to keep food
warm. When it is used, the burner is less
efficient.
* 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. 13.
* 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
calorific 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
