INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and adaptation
to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in conformity with the
regulations in force.
The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the installer.
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 anticlocQkwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob
(fig. 1).
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.
The gas supply can be interrupted by turning the knob
clockwise up to the closing position.
If there is no power supply, it is possible to light the burners
with matches, setting the knob to the start-up point (large
flame, fig. 1).
