WARNING! SURFACE BURNERS Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model. How to Light a Burner Your cooktop burners are lit by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames. ■ Check to be sure the burner you turn on is the one you want to use. ■ Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
