Very fair point. My stove also has 4 burners where I could easily get by with only 3 but the User Guide is NOT 700 pages long and, at least for me, it hasn't added much complexity to using the stove. Likewise there is NO menu with 6 main tabs and 27 total items that each contain up 7 entries that have to be navigated with a couple of buttons. And it looks like if you switch to video mode there is a whole different menu to deal with.
I'm NOT surprised to learn that the answer to my question is "NOT really" and there probably is a definite limit to how money I'd be willing to spend just to shrink those menus.
I am grateful to know that those with expert experience can confirm this reality.
