• Make sure that the burners are cool;
• Lift the burner completely out of its housing;
• Replace it in its housing in the position desired;
• Make sure that the burners are positioned correctly before use.

• Double burner for a griddle or rectangular/square cookware with minimum
dimensions of 28x28 cm (Fig. B)
• Double burner for large cookware (diameter of 26-28 cm) (Fig.C).
• Single burner for medium size cookware (diameter of 16-20 cm) (Fig.D).
