COOKTOP USE
Cooktop Controls
Electric igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or without
cookware on the grate.
To Set Burner Temperature:

All 4 surface burners will click. Only the burner with the

stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat
levels.

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
