HOW TO USE THE TOP BURNERS

GAS BURNERS

Gas flow to the burners is adjusted by turning the knobs which control the valves. Turning the knob so that the indicator line points to the symbols printed on the panel achieves the following functions:

The maximum aperture position permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum aperture position allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.

To reduce the gas flow to minimum, rotate the knob further anti-clockwise to point the indicator towards the LO position.

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 OFF positions.

N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas knobs to their OFF positions and also close the gas shut-off valve placed on the main gas supply line.

LIGHTING GAS BURNERS

In order to light the burner, you must:

1. Turn the knob in an anti-clockwise direction up to the position (maximum rate), push in and hold the knob 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 position, try again with the knob in LO position.
   If there is no mains electrical supply, bring a lighted match close to the burner.
2. Adjust the gas valve to the desired position.

To re-light the burner, return the knob to the OFF position and repeat the operations for lighting.

Caution!

The range becomes very hot during operation.

Keep children well out of reach.

CHOICE OF BURNER (fig. 6)

The symbols printed on the panel above the gas knobs indicate the correspondence between the knob and the burner.

The most suitable burner is to be chosen according to the diameter and volume capacity of the container to be warmed.

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.

Figure 7

HOW TO USE THE GAS OVEN

GENERAL FEATURES

The gas oven is provided with two burners:

a) Oven burner, mounted on the lower part of the oven (12000 BTU/hr)

b) Broil burner, mounted on the upper part of the oven (8500 BTU/hr).
