GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
which opens and closes the gas supply.

indicator on the control panel (fig. 3.1) to
obtain:

To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame
symbol.
The maximum setting permits rapid
boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
setting allows slower warming of food
or maintaining simmering conditions of
liquids.
Other intermediate operating can be
achieved by positioning the control
knob indicator between the maximum
and minimum setting, but not between
the maximum and off positions.
