LIGHTING GAS BURNERS FIT-
TED WITH SAFETY VALVE
DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob fig. 2.1 in anti-clock-
wise direction fig. 2.2 up to the maxi-
mum aperture, 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
gaslights before releasing the knob
(starting time for the valve).
3 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired
position.
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 pro-
cedure.
CHOICE OF BURNER
(fig. 2.4)
The symbols printed on the panel beside
the gas knobs indicate the correspon-
dence between the knob 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
jeopardise 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 quick-
er.

AUXILIARY GRATE FOR
SMALL PANS

(fig. 2.3).
This grate is to be placed on top of the
(smaller) auxiliary burner when using
small diameter pans, in order to prevent
them from tipping over.
