Surface Cooking

Surface Control Knobs
Use to turn on the surface burners. An
infinite choice of heat settings is available
from LO to HI. At the HI setting a detent or
notch may be felt. The knobs can be set on
or between any of the settings.
Graphics near the knob identify which
burner the knob controls. For ex-
ample, the graphic shows the

the desired flame size.
