how to use the top burners
GAS BURNERS (Semi-rapid and triple ring)
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 2.1) which
control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the symbols printed on itself point to the symbol printed on the
control panel achieves the following functions:
Fig. 2.1

rate
Fig. 2.2
The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of
liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further counterclockwise to point
the indicator towards the position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and positions.
N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their positions
and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FITTED WITH FLAME FAILURE
SAFETY DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Push and turn the knob in an counterclockwise direction up to the position
(maximum rate), push in and hold the knob until the flame has been lit (fig. 2.2).
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner
in position, try again with the knob in position.
If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go the
knob (safety device activation delay).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If there is no mains electrical supply, the burners can be used with no restriction.
In that case, in order to light the burner, you must:
1. Bring a lighted match close to the burner (as per side gure) and keep it in place until
the burner has been ignited.
2. Push and turn the dial in an counter-clockwise direction up to the position
(maximum rate), push in and hold the dial until the ame has been lit (g. 2.2)
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difcult to light the burner
in position (maximum rate), try again with the dial in position (minimum
rate).
3. Wait for about ten seconds after the gas burner has been lit before letting go the dial
(safety device activation delay).
4. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
(Semi-rapid and triple ring)
2
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed position, wait for at least 1
minute and then repeat the lighting procedure.
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.
Caution!
The range becomes very hot during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
