5.2 Igniting a Burner:

1. Place a cooking vessel on the desired burner grate.
2. Push down the corresponding rotary switch and turn it counter-clockwise to the "ON" or "HIGH" position. You will hear a clicking sound as the pulsed ignition system attempts to light the gas.
3. Once the burner ignites, continue to hold the knob down for a few seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up and engage the flame failure protection system.
4. Release the knob. If the flame goes out, repeat the process, holding the knob down slightly longer.
5. Adjust the flame size by rotating the knob between the "HIGH" and "LOW" settings.
