GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by tur-
ning the knobs (illustrated in figs. 2.1) which
control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator points
to the symbols printed on the panel achie-
ves the following functions:
– full circle

•
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
adjustments can be achieved by posi-
tioning the indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum aperture positions,
and never between the maximum
aperture and closed positions.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
N.B. When the cooktop is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions and also close the cock val-
ve on the gas bottle or the main gas
supply line.
