3 - USE OF COOKING HOB
GAS BURNERS
Each burner is controlled by a gas tap
assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.
Make the symbols printed on the knob to
match with the indicator on the control panel
or the knob indicator with the symbols prin-
ted on the control panel), to obtain:
-
symbol ● = off
-
symbol
or
= full on
(nominal rate)
-
symbol
or
= 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).
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the lever between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and off
positions.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their
closed positions and also close the
cock valve on the gas bottle or the
main gas supply line.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
