Other intermediate operating adjust-
ments can be achieved by positioning
the lever between the maximum and
minimum aperture positions, and never
between the maximum aperture and off
positions.

To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-
clockwise, and position the knob
indicator to the symbol
printed on
the control panel (figs. 2.1 - 2.2).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains
failure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.
3) Adjust the burner according to the
setting required.

The maximum aperture position permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the min-
imum aperture position allows slower
warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids (simmering).
