GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in figs. 2.1a
- 2.1b) which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator
line points to the symbols printed on the
panel achieves the following functions:
– full circle ●= closed valve
– symbol or = maximum
aperture or flow
– symbol = minimum
aperture or flow
✓To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the
small flame symbol.
✓The maximum aperture position per-
mits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids.
✓Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum
and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aperture
and closed positions.
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
WITHOUT SAFETY VALVE
DEVICE (fig. 2.1a)
Models without electric ignition
To light one of the gas burners, hold
a flame (e.g. a match) close to the top
part of the burner, push in and turn
the relative knob in an anti-clockwise
direction (fig. 2.3), pointing the knob
indicator towards the large flame symbol
(i.e. max. gas flow).
Models fitted with electric spark
lighter button
On these cooker tops, to light one of the
burners you have to push in and turn
the relative knob to the maximum aper-
ture position (large flame symbol ) and
press the electric lighter button (fig. 2.2)
until the flame has been lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired posi-
tion.
