LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
FITTED WITH SAFETY VALVE
DEVICE
In order to light the burner, you must:
1 – Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise
direction up to the maximum apertu-
re, push in and hold the knob;
In models with the gas lighter incor-
porated in the knob, this will light the
gas. If there is no mains electrical
supply, bring a lighted match close
to the burner.
For models with push-button lighting
only: push the gas-lighter button.
In case of black-out, bring a lighted
match close to the burner.
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
position.
If the burner flame should go out for
some reason, the safety valve will auto-
matically 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 pro-
cedure.
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.
CHOICE OF BURNER
On the control panel, near every knob,
there is a diagram that indicates which
burner is controlled by that knob.
The suitable burner must be chosen
according to the diameter and the capac-
ity used.
As an indication, the burners and the
pots must be used in the following way:
DIAMETERS OF PANS WHICH
MAY BE USED ON THE HOBS
BURNERS
Semirapid
Rapid
Triple-ring
Maximum diameter for woks: 36 cm
do not use pans with concave or convex bases
Fig. 2.4
It is important that the diameter of the
pots or pans suitably match the heating
potential of the burners in order not to
jeopardise the efficiency of the burners,
bringing about a waste of gas fuel.
A small diameter pot or pan placed on a
large burner does not necessarily mean
that boiling conditions are reached
quicker.
Only used flat bottomed pans.
