GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knobs 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
– symbol
or
– symbol

GAS BURNERS
= closed valve
= maximum
aperture or
flow
= minimum
aperture or
flow
To light one of the gas burners, hold a
flame (e.g. a match) close to the top
part of the burner, push in and turn
the relative knob in an anti-clockwise
direction, pointing the knob indicator
towards the large flame symbol (i.e.
max. gas 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 maintaining
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.
