Abstract
A gas cooking hob comprising at least one gas burner, a main pipe for supplying gas, a main nozzle on the gas burner, and a control device for adjusting the heating power of the gas burner between a minimum power and a nominal power. In order to further develop said gas cooking hob, a timing member is provided which allows the heating power to be increased beyond the nominal power during a certain interval.
Claims18
A gas cooktop having a main pipe for receiving supply gas, said gas cooktop comprising at least one gas burner having a main nozzle operatively associated therewith, an operator control device operatively associated with the main nozzle for controlling the main nozzle in a manner to adjust the heating power of the gas burner only between a minimum power and a nominal power, and a timer switching device for increasing the heating power beyond nominal power for the duration of a predetermined time interval while the operator control device remains set between said minimum power and said nominal power, said predetermined time interval being controlled by the timer switching device, wherein the predetermined time interval must be set prior to or upon increasing the heating power beyond said nominal power, and wherein, after the predetermined time interval has expired, the heating power of the gas burner returns to between said minimum power and said nominal power set by the operation control device.
