HOB BURNERS CONTROL KNOBS
The hob burners control knobs are situated on the hob
front panel. The symbols on the knobs mean that :
●
there is no gas supply
there is maximum gas supply
there is minimum gas supply
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
•
For easier lighting, proceed before putting a pan
on the pan support.
Push the relevant knob down and turn it anti-
clockwise until it reaches the "maximum" position.
After lighting the flame, keep the knob pushed down
for about 5 seconds. This will allow the
"thermocouple" (Fig. 1 lett. D) to be heated and the
safety device to be switched off, otherwise the gas
supply would be interrupted.
Then, check the flame is regular and adjust it as
required.
If you cannot light the flame even after several
attempts, check the "cap" (Fig. 1 lett. A) and the
"crown" (Fig. 1 lett. B) are in the correct position.
To put the flame out, turn the knob to the symbol
●
.
•
Always turn the flame down or put it out before
taking the pans off the burner.
USING THE HOB CORRECTLY
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is strongly
recommended that you use only pots and pans with a
bottom fitting the size of the burner used, so that flame
will not spread beyond the bottom of the vessel (see the
table beside).
It is also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling, to
turn down the flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
•
Use only pans or pots with flat bottom.
Carefully supervise cookings with fats or oil,
since these types of foodstuff can result in a fire,
if over-heated.
