Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LIGHT.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.

To Set:

1.Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LIGHT.

All four surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LIGHT will produce a flame.

2.Turn knob anywhere between HIGH and LOW. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
