assuring the opening and the closing of
the gas supply.

the indicator on the control panel to
obtain:

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 (simmering).
Other intermediate operating
adjustments can be achieved by
positioning the lever between the
maximum and minimum aperture
positions, and never between the
maximum aperture and off positions.
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
To ignite the burner, the following
instructions are to be followed:
1) Lightly press and turn the knob anti-
clockwise, and position the knob
indicator to the symbol
printed on the
control panel (fig. 3.2).
2) Press the knob to operate the electric
ignition; or, in the case of a mains
failure light the burner with a match or
lighted taper.
3) Adjust the burner according to the
setting required.
