The cooktopisequippedwith differentsize of surfaceburners.
Flamesize should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Thisinstructionisbased onsafety considerations. Adjusting the sizeof the flameto fit
thesize of the cookware alsohelpsto save fuel.
Note; Donot allowlargecookpotstoextend overcontrol knobs. Heattrapped between
largecookpotsandcontrolknob couldpossiblycauseknobstobecomehottothetouch.
Important:Leavea minimumof1-1/2"between sideof cookpotand surrounding
