How to Use the Hob Burners
Hob Burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas valve
operated by a control knob (g. 4) which has 3 positions
marked on the control panel, these are:
– Symbol
: Tap closed (burner o)
– 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 condi-
tions of liquids.
To reduce the gas ow to minimum, rotate the knob further anticlockwise to point the indicator towards the
small ame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator between the maxi-
mum and minimum aperture positions, not between the maximum aperture and closed positions.
Note: 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.
Lighting of the Hob Burners
To ignite the burner, the following instructions are to be followed:
1. Press in the corresponding knob and turn counter-clockwise to the full ame position marked by the
symbol (g. 4) and hold the knob in until the ame has been lit.
In the case of a mains failure light the burner with a match or lighted taper.
2. Wait about ten seconds after the gas lighting before releasing the knob (starting time for the valve).
3. Adjust the gas valve to the desired power.
Important
If the burner ame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically stop the gas ow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed position, wait for at least 1 minute and then repeat the
lighting procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it dicult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob to
minimum and repeat the operation.
