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.
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
