INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob
indicate the correspondence between the knob and the
burner.
Start-up without valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Automatic start-up with valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob
pressed for about 6 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of
gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable
for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to
avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids
reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity
to heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating
positions must be chosen between the maximum and the
minimum ones, never between the minimum position and
the closing point.
