1 - HOW TO USE THE COOKER HOB
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1)
which control the valves.
Turn the knob so that the indicator line
points to the relevant symbol for the following functions:
– symbol
● = OFF
– symbol = maximum
position
– symbol = minimum
position
✓ To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob anti-clockwise to point
the indicator towards the small flame
symbol.
✓ The maximum position permits rapid
boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum position allows slower warming
of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
✓ Other intermediate operating can be
achieved by positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum
positions, but not between the maximum and OFF positions.

N.B. When the cooker top is not
being used, set the gas knobs to
their OFF positions.

CHOICE OF THE BURNER
The symbols printed on the panel next to
the gas knobs indicates which knob corresponds with which burner.
Select the burner that is most suitable for
the diameter and the capacity of the pan
to be used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH MAY BE USED
ON THE HOBS
BURNERS MINIMUM MAX.
Auxiliary 12 cm 14 cm
Semirapid 16 cm 24 cm
Triple-ring 26 cm 28 cm
Maximum diameter for woks: 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Fig. 2.3
It is important that the base diameter of
the pots or pans match the diameter of
the burner rings in order to obtain an
efficient heat transfer, Always position
pans centrally over the burners.
Adjust the size of the flame so that it
does not lick up the side of the pan.
Position the pan handles so that they
cannot be accidentally knocked.
Only used flat bottomed pans.
Caution!
the cooking hob becomes very
hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
The electric ignition is incorporated in
the knobs (★ symbol beside flame max. heat/max. gas flow fig. 2.1).
To light one of the gas burners, push in
and turn the relevant knob to the maximum position (large flame symbol) and
hold the knob in until the flame has been
lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
N.B. In the case of a mains failure light
the burner with a match or lighted taper.
N.B. If your local gas supply makes it
difficult to light the burner with the knob
set to maximum, set the knob to minimum and repeat the operation.
