– set the knob in simmering flame position
then, maintaining that position, remove the knob
from the tap pin and watch the burner's flame
– turn the adjustment screw "
the flame; set the flame to such a size that will pre-
vent it from being extinguished by a slight draught
or during the operation of quickly turning the knob
from the full to the simmering position of the flame
and back;
– the adjustment is correct when the core of the fla-
me is cone-shaped in green and blue colour and is
ca. 2 – 4 mm tall
– if there are perceptible changes of gas pressure in
the gas supply system (change in the size of fla-
me at full flow), the simmering flame should be set
when pressure in the system is low to prevent the
burner from extinguishing during normal use,
– upon adjusting the taps, put the knob back in its
position and turn off the flame.
The amount of gas used with taps set to minimal gas
flow corresponds to ca. 25 % of use when the taps
are set to full flame.
8.1 Knobs
The gas flow in particular burners is opened and clo-
sed with the use of knobs fitted on the gas taps. Be-
fore turning the burner on, make sure that the knob
you are about to turn corresponds to the burner which
is to be used. The burners and their corresponding
knobs are shown in fig. 8.1.1.
8.2 Setting the flame
The flame should not lick around from the bottom of
a pan. The size of flame depends on the position of
the knob (8.2.1, 8.2.2, 8.2.3).
0 – burner switched off (flow of gas shut off);
- large flame; - small flame (simmering)
Large flame
(8.2.2) should be used until the
liquid is brought to boiling after which the flame
should be turned down and further cooking conti-
nued over a small flame
flame should be adjusted only within the range of
small and large flame:
8.3 Lighting the burners (8.3.1)
The cookers are equipped with a flame failure safe-
ty device which cuts off the gas flow to the burners
when the flame is extinguished, e.g. by overflowing
food.

– (8.2.4).
– press the knob of the selected burner all the way
in, turn it in the counter-clockwise direction and si-
multaneously, moving a burning match towards the
burner,
– when the burner has ignited, keep the knob pu-
shed in for ca. 5 seconds to allow the flame failure
device to energise,
– release the knob and set the size of the flame.
If the flame has accidentally extinguished, close
the gas flow and wait for at least 1 minute before
retrying to reignite the burner.
8.4 Extinguishing the burners.
Turn the burner knob in the clockwise direction to its
"0" position.
8.5 Lighting the burners (cookers supplied
from an LPG cylinder)
Before lighting the first burner, open the valve on the
LPG cylinder, and then light the burner in accordance
with the above described.
When cutting off the gas flow, prior to extinguishing
the last burner:
– close the valve on the LPG cylinder,
– when the flame has gone out, close the tap of that
burner.
When the cooker is not in use, the valve of the LPG
cylinder should be closed.
8.6 Gas burners (8.6.1)
B – end of thermocouple (flame safety device)
8.7 Cookware selection
• Cookware base diameter should be 2-3 times gre-
ater than the diameter of the burner ring (8.7.1).
Cookware should not protrude outside the gas hob
grid and the flame should not lick around from the
bottom of a pan (8.7.2).
• Cookware should always be clean and dry as it will
then conduct and retain heat well.
• During cooking, the cookware should be covered
with lids to prevent excess amounts of vapour from
accumulating in the kitchen.
Minimal cookware dimension:
for small burner
