When the range is not being used, set the gas dials to their OFF positions. If the range will
not be used for an extended period of time, it is recommended that the gas shut off valve in
the main supply line be closed.
The range becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach.
Fig 2.5
Choice of Burner (fig. 2.5)
The symbols or wordings printed on the panel above the gas dials
indicate the correspondence between the dial and the burner.
The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and
volume capacity of the container to be warmed.
It is important that the diameter of the pots or pans suitably match the
heating potential of the burners in order not to jeopardize the efficiency of
the burners, bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a large burner does not necessarily
mean that boiling conditions are reached quicker.
