COOKTOPUSE
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 igniters automatically light the surface burners when
control knobs are turned to LITE.
The left front and right rear burners provide the highest heat
setting. The left rear and right front burners allow more accurate
simmer control at the lowest setting.
Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate.
Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate
is vacant.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models)
during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may

lighted manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to ignite. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
