HOB BURNERS
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas tap
operated by a control knob (fig. 4.1) which has 3
positions marked on the control panel, these are:
– Symbol
0
: tap closed (burner off)
– Symbol
: High (maximum)
– Symbol
: Low (minimum)
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the
selected position.
The maximum aperture position permits 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 positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, not between the maximum
aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the hob 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.
