Hi Debbie. our flatop is from Sears maybe 5-6 years ago. I like the stove as I am not a clean cook. I mean often things boil over or spills. all of which are easy cleanup with a dischloth and or sometimes a single edge razor with a little handle. I think it is called a widget? as for finding the burners on a flat top. well, , in my opinion, with our stove you kind of sort of know where four burners are after you have it. I use most of the time the left front burner which is a big one. I put a tea kettle a lot in the wonter time on that burner and turn it first so the dial is straight up and down. I wait a minute and feel carefuly to see if I feel more or less heat around the pot. so maybe i move the pot a little up or down.. as for the multiple burners. well that is something you need to play with . like our right front burner can be, maybe like yours a large or small burner depends on where you turn the dial. all I can say is you need to learn your stove and dials. as for the oven I have that sticky goo frm a tube. I think it is orange so I know where the button is to turn on the oven and then you know that each tap of that button is turning the stove up or down 5 degrees at a time.. If you want other information I can eamil you off list but each of our stoves is similar but not all the same unless we buy the same model. I am told the gas flatips you can feel the burners when they are cold, but not exactly sure. Lee
