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 tur
-
ning 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 per-
mits 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 posi-
tioning the indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum aperture positions,
and never between the maximum
aperture and closed positions .
