The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum
aperture position allows simmer 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
LO position.
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum aperture positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and
OFF positions.
N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions
and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.
