GAS COOKING HOBS
GAS BURNERS
Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by
turning the knob (illustrated in fig. 2.1)
which control the valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator
line points to the symbols printed on the
panel achieves the following functions:
full circle
symbol
symbol
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 permits
rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the
minimum aperture position allows slower
warming of food or maintaining boiling
conditions of liquids.
Other
intermediate
adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the indicator between the
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and closed positions.
N.B. When the cooker top 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.
