CONTROL KNOB
Control knobs (CT36G shown).
Never leave pans on a HIGH setting unattended.
Be particularly cautious when cooking food in fat or
grease. It can become hot enough to ignite.
Cooktop Operation
BURNER OPERATION
Each surface burner has full flame and full simmer
capabilities. Control knobs are designed as two-tiered
“push-to-turn” knobs. One tier is used for HIGH through
LOW flame settings; the second tier controls SIMMER
settings. Refer to the illustration below. Although this is a
child-safe design, children should never be left unattended
in the kitchen when the cooktop is in use.
To light a burner, push down and turn the corresponding
control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH setting. You
will hear a clicking sound and see the burner ignite. Once
the burner is lit, continue turning the knob counterclock-
wise to any one of the settings; HIGH through LOW.
To select a SIMMER setting, turn the burner knob to the
LOW setting; you will feel a stop detent in the knob
rotation. Push down on the knob, continuing to turn it
counterclockwise. This moves it to the second tier. Now,
select any variation within the SIMMER flame settings;
HIGH through LOW.
