GAS COOKING HOBS

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs (illustrated in figs. 2.1a - 2.1b)
which control the safety valves.
Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel
achieves the following functions:
full circle = closed valve
symbol = maximum aperture or flow
symbol = minimum aperture or flow
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 operating 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 posi-
tions and also close the cock valve on the gas bottle or the main gas supply line.
VALVELESS ELECTRIC SPARK-LIGHTING GAS BURNERS
Models fitted with electric spark lighter button
On these cooker tops, to light one of the burners you have to push in and turn the rela-
tive knob to the maximum aperture position (large flame symbol) and press the electric
lighter button (fig. 2.2) until the flame has been lit.
Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

symbol beside the symbol (max. heat/max. gas flow) (fig. 2.1b).
To light one of the gas burners, push in and turn the relative knob to the maximum
aperture position (large flame symbol) and hold the knob in until the flame has been lit.
The sparks produced by the lighter situated inside the relative burner will light the
flame.
In the event that the local gas supply conditions makes it difficult to light the burner in
maximum aperture position, try again with the knob in minimum position.
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 aperture, push in
and hold the knob;
In models with the gas lighter incorporated in the knob, this will light the gas. If
there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2 – For models with push-button lighting only: push the gas-lighter button.
3 – Wait about ten seconds after the gaslights before releasing the knob (starting time
for the valve).
4 – Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.
If the burner flame should go out for some reason, the safety valve will automatically
stop the gas flow.
To re-light the burner, return the knob to the closed
tions for lighting.
