FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING

A.

If this appliance is equipped with an

  electronic

ignition device,

 this automatically lights the burner. Do

not try to light the burner by hand.

control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not push
in or turn by hand, don't try to repair it, call a qualified
service technician. Force or attempted repair may re-
sult in a fire or explosion.
