GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knob illustrated in fig. 2.1
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:
– 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 aperture
and closed positions.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob fig. 2.2 in anti-clock-
wise direction up to the maximum
aperture (symbol
fig. 2.1), push
in and hold the knob; this will light
the gas. In case of black-out, bring
a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – Wait about ten seconds after the
gas lighting before releasing the
knob (starting time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
power.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to
the closed
●
position, wait for at least
1 minute and then repeat the lighting
procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult
to light the burner with the knob set to
maximum, set the knob to minimum and
repeat the operation.
