Ignition burners
1. Check to make sure that the gas supply is accessible and set
up with the necessary and appropriate fittings/connectors.
2. Turn all control knobs to off position.
3. This device is fitted with a safety tap to control the gas flow.
When the dot on the knob lines up with the following symbols
on the panel, these conditions prevail:
To turn off the gas, rotate the knob anticlockwise until
you feel the distinct click on the knob and the indicator
on the knob is pointing to "0".
4. To ignite, hold the knob and depress for several seconds,
rotate anti-clockwise to maximum gas flow position. For
models with thermocouple, keep the knob depressed about
5~8 seconds, otherwise the flame will extinguish.
5. If the burner does not light the first time, repeat Step 4.
6. If the flame extinguishes suddenly, repeat Step 4.
7. When using the unit again immediately after having once
turned it off, wait for about ten seconds before re-igniting.
8. Each burner has its own independent ignitor.
9. When the burner is lit, turn the knob to adjust the flame size
according to your needs. This needs no depression of the
knob.
Choice of burner
·
A semi-rapid burner is for special low heat, simmering and
slow cooking.
NOTE:
Remember that a wide-bottomed pan allows a faster
cooking than a narrow one.
Always use pots which properly fit what you have to cook.
Particularly make sure that the pans are not too small for
liquids, since these could easily overflow.
The pans should not be too large for a faster cooking.
You should use pans with the right diameter to fit the burner,
in order to make the most out of it, thus reducing gas
consumption as in Fig 12.
·
It is also advisable to cover any boiling casserole and as
soon as the liquid starts to boil, lower the flame enough to
keep the boiling point
For burner fitted with a flame supervision device, if after 15
seconds of ignition operation the burner has not lit, stop
operating the device and wait at least 1 minute before attempting
a further ignition of the burner.
Using the hob correctly
·
A wok burner is for very fast heating using a wok or large pan.
·
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly recommended
that you use only pots and pans with a bottom fitting the size of the
burner used, so that the flame will not spread beyond the bottom of the
vessel (Table 1).
·
It is also advisable, as soon as the liquid starts boiling, to turn down
the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering
