GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the lever of the knob match with the
indicator on the control panel to obtain:
– 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 lever towards the small flame sym-
bol.
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 (simmering).

2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains
failure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.
3) Adjust the burner according to the
setting required.
ments can be achieved by positioning
the lever between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
