Fig 1.
To light the burner, press in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the full rate
position and apply a light to the burner or press the ignition button if fitted. It is
necessary to hold the knob depressed during ignition and for approximately
fifteen seconds after the burner has lit to allow the probe to reach temperature.
Should the flame go out when the knob is released, the procedure should be
repeated holding the knob depressed for slightly longer.
For simmering, turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the low rate position. To
turn the burner off, rotate knob fully clockwise until the line on the knob lines up
with the dot on the control panel. The burners on this appliance have fixed
aeration and no adjustment is required.
Depending on the gas being used, the burners should flame as follows:-
Propane -
The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no
sign of yellow tips.
Butane -
Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will
occur and then slightly increases as the burner heats up.
Each of the burners will accommodate pans from 10 to 22cm, although care
should be taken not to overload the appliance as reduced performance may
result.
When using small pans, the flame should not spread beyond the base of the
pan as this will reduce the efficiency of the burner.
