Control knobs must be pushed in before turning them to a setting. They can be set anywhere between HI and OFF.

Surface Unit Markers

The solid dot in the surface unit marker shows which surface unit is turned on by that knob.

Burn and Fire Hazard

Be sure all control knobs are turned to OFF and all indicator lights are OFFwhen you are not cooking. Someone could be burned or a fire could start if a surface unit is accidentally left ON.
