which control the safety valves.
Fig. 3.1
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed
on the panel, achieves the following functions:
* symbol
closed valve
* symbol
maximum aperture or flow
* symbol
minimum aperture or flow
* The maximum aperture positionpermits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows slower warming of food or
maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
* To reduce the gas flow to minimumrotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the smallflame symbol.
* Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aperture and closed positions.
Note:
The knob and symbols may vary.
Caution
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foils.
