GAS BURNERS (Triple-ring and Semi-rapid)
Gas fl ow to the burners is adjusted by turning the dials (illustrated in fi g. 2.1) which con-
trol the valves.
Turning the dial so that the symbols printed on the dial point to the mark on the bezel
achieves the following functions:

The maximum dial setting permits rapid boiling of liquids, whereas the minimum dial set-
ting allows simmer warming of food or maintaining boiling conditions of liquids.
To reduce the gas fl ow to minimum, rotate the dial further counter-clockwise to point the
indicator towards the
LO position (minimum rate).
Other intermediate operating adjustments can be achieved by positioning the indicator
between the maximum and minimum dial settings. Never operate the burners with the
dial set between the
HI and OFF positions.

N.B. When the range is not being used, set the gas dials to their OFF
positions. If the range will not be used for an extended period of time, it
is recommended that the gas shut off valve in the main supply line be
closed.
