USE OF COOKING HOBS

GAS BURNERS

The gas flow to the burners is achieved
by turning the knob (illustrated in fig.
2.1) which controls the safety tap.
By turning the knob so that the indicator
line points at the symbols printed on the
panel we obtain the following settings:
full circle
symbol
symbol
To light one of the gas burners, push in
and turn the relative knob in an anti-
clockwise direction, pointing the knob
indicator towards the large flame symbol
(i.e. max. gas flow).
The sparks produced by the electric
lighter situated inside the relative burner
will light the gas.
In the event that the local gas supply
conditions makes it difficult to light the
burner in maximum aperture position, try
again with the knob in minimum position.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to
point the indicator towards the small
flame symbol.
The maximum aperture position permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the min-
imum aperture position allows slower
warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids.
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and
closed positions.
