Ignite the burner that is to be adjusted andturn the knob to the reduced position.2. Remove the knob from the gas tap.3. Use an appropriately sized screwdriver toadjust the flow rate adjustment screw. ForLPG (Butane - Propane) turn the screwclockwise. For natural gas, you shouldturn the screw counter-clockwise once.The normal length of a straight flame inthe reduced position should be 6-7 mm4. If the flame is higher than the desiredposition, turn the screw clockwise. If it issmaller turn anticlockwise.5. For the last control, bring the burner toboth the high-flame and reduced positionsand check whether the flame is on or off.Depending on the type of gas tap used inyour appliance the adjustment screwposition may vary.Changing the injectors1.

5 How to use the hobGeneral information about cookingDANGERRisk of fire by overheated oil!When you heat oil, do not leave itunattended.Never try to extinguish a firewith water! When oil hascaught fire, immediately cover thepot or pan with a lid. Switch offthe hob if safe to do so andphone the fire service.x Before frying foods, always dry them wellx x x x x x x x x x and gently place into the hot oil. Ensurecomplete thawing of frozen foods beforefrying.Do not cover the pot or pan you use whenheating oil.Place the pans and saucepans in amanner so that their handles are not overthe hob to prevent heating of the handles.Do not place unbalanced and easily tiltingcooking vessels on the hob.Do not place empty pots and saucepanson cooking zones that are switched on.They might get damaged.Operating a cooking zone without a pot,pan or saucepan on it will cause damageto the appliance. Turn off the cookingzones after cooking is complete.As the surface of the appliance can be hot,do not place plastic and aluminum vesselson it.Such vessels should not be used to keepfoods in either.Use flat bottomed saucepans or cookingvessels only.Put only the appropriate amount of food insaucepans and pans. Doing so will assistin you not having to do any unnecessarycleaning as this will help prevent thedishes from overflowing.Do not put covers of saucepans or panson the cooking zones.Place saucepans so that they are centeredon the cooking zone. When moving thesaucepan onto another

the appropriate burner. x Always dry food thoroughly before placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular will spit and splatter if added too quickly. x Never fill the pan more than one third full of fat or oil. x Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the pan. x Do not fry too much food at once. This lowers the temperature of the oil or fat
