present a risk of fire or clothing ignition. Never let
flames extend beyond the sides of the cookware.
Failure to comply may result in serious injury.
Make sure all burners are in their correct locations and
fully assembled before attempting to operate any burner.
Select a burner and find its control knob. Push the knob
in and turn it to the LITE position.
Selecting a Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you adjust heat. When
rapid heating is desired, the flame size should match the
size of the cookware you are using. Flames larger than
the bottom of the cookware will not heat faster and may
be hazardous.

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the
grate may discolor or chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
■ D o not attempt to disassemble any burner while
another burner is on. Damage to the product
may occur.
■ B e sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder or cleaning materials
on them.
