About the Universal Knobs

Each universal knob comes with a kit that allows it to fit three different shaft diameters commonly used by various manufacturers. These include the standard 6mm, the quarter-inch imperial shaft, and the 3/16" shaft.

In addition, each knob can be adjusted to fit three different shaft lengths: flush fit, 10mm, and up to 25mm. The universal knob set includes various adapters to accommodate different cooker types. Depending on the color of the knob you choose, you can also choose between three different inserts, allowing you to customize the knob to fit your cooker's configuration.

Installing the Knobs

Here's how to replace your old knobs with the new universal ones:

1. Decide on the color of the knob you want to use.
2. Determine the diameter of the original knob. For instance, if it's approximately 37mm, you'll need to choose a knob of the same size.
3. Remove the old knob, ensuring it is in the 'off' position before pulling it off.
4. Look at the shaft going into the cooker. If it's not flush with the surface and extends out by, say, 10mm, you'll need to choose the appropriate adapter from the universal knob kit.
5. Place the adapter onto the shaft, then place the knob on top, making sure it is in the 'off' position so it aligns correctly.
6. Push the knob into place. You've now installed your new knob.

For a more visually appealing and accessible design, consider using brightly colored knob inserts. These are not only attractive but also helpful for individuals with visual impairments, as they can easily spot when the knob is in the 'off' position.

With these steps, you can easily replace old, worn-out knobs on your cooker with new, attractive, and accessible ones. Not only will this enhance the visual appeal of your cooker, but it will also significantly improve its usability, especially for those with visual impairments.
