HOW TO USE THE COOKTO
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the bur ers is adjusted by tur i g the k obs which co trol the valves. Tur i g the
k ob so that the i dicator li e poi ts to the symbols pri ted o the pa el achieves the followi g
fu ctio s:
Whe k ob is rotated to the maximum positio it will permit the rapid boili g of liquids,
whereas the mi imum positio allows the simmer warmi g of food or mai tai i g boili g
co ditio s of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to mi imum, rotate the k ob further cou ter-clockwise to poi t the Lo
Positio .
Other i termediate operati g adjustme ts ca be achieved by positio i g the i dicator
betwee the HI a d Lo positio s, a d ever betwee the HI a d OFF positio .
Whe the ra ge is ot bei g used, set the gas k obs to their OFF positio s a d also close the
gas shut-off valve placed o the mai gas supply li e.
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
A y film or stickers o the cooktop surface should be removed before use.
All operatio s are performed by mea s of all co trol k obs. K ob co trols electric
ig itio , safety device & flame level.
To ignite, push a d tur the k ob for 1~2 seco ds i a cou terclockwise directio up to
the HI positio (Maximum rate), push i a d hold the k ob u til the flame has bee lit.
The sparks produced by i ter al ig iter will light the desig ated bur er.
I the eve t that the local gas supply co ditio s mark it difficult to light the bur er i the
HI positio , try agai with the k ob i Lo positio .
To re-light the bur er, retur the k ob to the OFF positio a d repeat the operatio for
light.
To shut off bur er, tur the k ob i clockwise directio , to OFF positio .
CHOSE O THE BURNERS AND PANS
For greater efficie cy a d lesser gas co sumptio , use the pots a d pa s with the right
14

diameters of the bur ers. Avoid havi g flames exte di g out from u der eath the pa s
(refer to the table). A smaller diameter pot or pa placed o a larger bur er does ot
ecessarily mea that the boili g co ditio s are reach quicker.
