INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER
It is necessary that all the operations regarding the installation, adjustment and
adaptation to the type of gas available are carried out by qualified personnel, in
conformity with the regulations in force.
The specific instructions are described in the booklet section intended for the
installer.
USING THE BURNERS
The symbols silk-screen printed on the side of the knob
indicate the correspondence between the knob and the
burner.
Automatic start-up with valves
Turn the corresponding knob anticlockwise up to the
maximum position (large flame, fig. 1) and press the knob.
Once the burner has been started up, keep the knob
pressed for about 6 seconds.
Using the burners
In order to obtain the maximum yield without waste of
gas, it is important that the diameter of the pot is suitable
for the burner potential (see the following table), so as to
avoid that the flame goes out of the pot bottom (fig. 2).
Use the maximum capacity to quickly make the liquids
reach the boiling temperature, and the reduced capacity to
heat food or maintain boiling. All of the operating positions
must be chosen between the maximum and the minimum
ones, never between the minimum position and the closing
point.
