2 - HOW TO USE THE COOKTOP
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning 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
achieves the following functions:
– full circle
– symbol
– symbol
•
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
flame symbol.
•
The
maximum
permits 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
positioning the indicator between the
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum
aperture
positions.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED
WITH SAFETY VALVE DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1.
Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise
direction up to the maximum aperture,
push in and hold the knob; this will
light the gas.
If there is no mains electrical supply,
bring a lighted match close to the
burner.
2.
Wait about ten seconds after the
gaslights before releasing the knob
(starting time for the valve).
3.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
If the burner flame should go out for some
reason, the safety valve will automatically
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.
N.B.: 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.
