the burners each time the control knob is
turned to LITE.
Push in control knob and turn to the
LITE position. The clicking sound is the

knob to the desired cook setting. You can
set the control knob anywhere between the
high and low settings.

with Natural Gas. Do not use L.P./Propane

use L.P./Propane Gas, order Kit No. 4173631
