GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Turning the knob so that the indicator
line points to the symbols printed on the
panel achieves the following functions:
– symbol
● : off
– symbol : full on
(nominal rate)
– symbol : reduced rate
- 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 mini-
mum 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 posi-
tions.
