GAS BURNERS

The flow of gas to the burners is adjusted by the knobs which control the safety-closing taps.

Match the mark on the knob with the symbols printed on the panel:

- full disc = tap closed

- symbol = max. opening or max. flow

- symbol = min. opening or min. flow

To light one of the burners:

1. Press and turn the corresponding knob to the maximum flow position (large flame) and keep the knob pressed until the gas is lit. If there is a power cut use a flame.

2. Set the gas tap to the position required.

If particular characteristics of the locally supplied gas make lighting the burner with the knob in the maximum flow position difficult, repeat the operation with the knob in the minimum flow position.

The maximum flow is used to bring liquids to the boil quickly, while the low flow is used to heat food slowly or for simmering.

All the operating positions must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum and never between the maximum and the OFF.
