GAS BURNERS
The gas flow to the burners is achieved
by turning the knob (illustrated in figs.
2.1a - 2.1b) which controls the safety
tap.
By turning the knob so that the indicator
line points at the symbols printed on the
panel we obtain the following settings:
✓
full circle
●
= closed valve
✓
symbol
= maximum
aperture or flow
✓
symbol
= minimum
aperture or flow
✓
To reduce the gas flow to minimum,
rotate the knob further anti-clockwise
to point the indicator towards the
small flame symbol.
✓
The maximum aperture position per-
mits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas
the minimum aperture position allows
slower warming of food or maintain-
ing boiling conditions of liquids.
✓
Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the indicator between the maximum
and minimum aperture positions, and
never between the maximum aper-
ture and closed positions.

N.B.
When the cooker top is not
being used, set the gas knobs to
their closed positions and also
close the cock valve on the gas
bottle or the main gas supply line.
