3 - USE OF THE HOB BURNERS
Caution!
The cooking hob becomes very hot
during operation.
Keep children well out of reach.
N.B. When the cooker is not being
used, set the gas knobs to their closed
positions.
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs (illustrated in fig. 3.1)
which control the safety valves .
Turning the knob, so that the indicator line
points to the symbols printed on the panel,
achieves the following functions:
- symbol
0
closed valve
- symbol
maximum
aperture or flow
- symbol
minimum
aperture or flow
√
The maximum aperture position
permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintaining
boiling conditions of liquids .
√
To reduce the gas flow to minimum
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the small
flame symbol.
√
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 closed
positions .
