& Highest flame.
/ Lowest flame.
^ To turn on the burner, press the
control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the large flame
symbol. The ignitor will click and
ignite the gas.
^ When the flame appears, keep the
control knob pressed in for
8-10 seconds to allow the Ignition
Safety Control to reach operating
temperature and release it.
If the flame goes out, repeat the above
procedure, keeping the control knob
pressed in for a few extra seconds.
^ Adjust the knob to the desired
setting.
Since the outer portion of the flame is
much hotter than the center, the flame
should be set so that its tips do not
extend beyond the sides of the pan.
Flame tips which extend beyond the
sides of the pan are hazardous.
^ Turn the knob clockwise to "ß".
This stops the flow of gas and turns off
the burner.
Do not turn the knob clockwise past
the 12 o'clock position or
counterclockwise past the 5 o'clock
position. Forcing it beyond these
positions will damage the gas
regulator.
