How to Use the Hob Burners
Hob Burners
Each hob burner is controlled by a separate gas valve operated
by a control knob (fig. 11) which has 3 positions marked on the
control panel, these are:
– Symbol
: Tap closed (burner off)
– 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 conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-
clockwise to point the indicator towards the small flame symbol.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the indicator between the maximum 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 flame position marked by the
symbol (fig. 11) and hold the knob in until the flame 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 flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically 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 procedure.
If your local gas supply makes it difficult to light the burner with the knob set to maximum, set the knob
to minimum and repeat the operation.
