LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED
WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Press in the corresponding knob and
turn counter-clockwise (Fig. 3.2) to
the full flame position marked by the
symbol (Fig. 3.1) and hold the
knob in until the flame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the
burner with a match or lighted taper.
2) Wait for about ten seconds after the
gas burner has been lit before letting
go of the knob (valve activation
delay);
3) Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.
DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat fry-
ing, do not fill the pan more than one
third full of oil.
DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO
NOT leave the pan unattended.
In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave
the pan where it is and turn off the con-
trol knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to
cool for at least 30minutes before mov-
ing the pan.
DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
CHOICE OF THE BURNER
On the control panel, near each knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
Select the burner that is most suitable
for the diameter and capacity of the pan
to be used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pans must be used in the following way:
BURNERS
Auxiliary
Semi-rapid
Rapid
Triple-ring
Wok
do not use pans with concave
or convex bases (fig. 3.3)
It is important that the base diameter of
the pot is at least the same diameter as
the burner ring to obtain an efficient heat
transfer.
Always position pans centrally over the
burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.
POT DIAMETER
12 - 14 cm
