1.Push the left rear surface control knob in and turn counterclockwise out of the OFF position (See Fig. 1).

3.Release the knob and rotate to the LITE position (See Figs. 1 & 2). Note: All electronic surface ignitors will spark at the same time. However, only the selected surface Burner will lite.

3.Visually check that the left rear Burner has lit.

4.Contine to rotate the gas control knob clockwise past the first LO setting to the arrowmarked BRIDGE.

5.Visually check that both the left rear and left center Burners are lit.

6.When both burners are lit, continue to turn the control knob counterclockwise to adjust to the desired flame size for both burners together. Note: The markings between the 2nd HI and LO settings on the left rear control knob adjust the flame size for both burners.
