Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire. 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. IMPORTANT: Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range. To Set Burner Temperature: 1. Push in and turn knob counterclockwise to LITE. All surface burners will click. Only the burner with the control knob turned to LITE will produce a flame. 2. Turn knob to anywhere between High and Low. The clicking will stop. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
