Operating Instructions

1. Ignition: Push down the desired burner knob and turn it counter-clockwise to the 'HIGH' flame position. You will hear a clicking sound as the igniter sparks. Hold the knob down for a few seconds (typically 3-5 seconds) to allow the thermocouple to heat up and activate the gas flow.
2. Flame Adjustment: Once the burner is lit, release the knob. You can then adjust the flame intensity by turning the knob between the 'HIGH' and 'LOW' settings.
3. Turning Off: To turn off the burner, turn the knob clockwise until it clicks back into the 'OFF' position. Ensure the flame is completely extinguished.
