POWER FAILURE
Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
• In the event of a power failure, only the standard
burners can be lighted manually. It is necessary
to light each standard burner individually.
• If the cooktop is being used when the power
failure occurs turn all of the burner control knobs
to the OFF position. The standard burners can be
lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning
the control knob to the position. Wait until the
flame is burning all the way around the burner cap
before adjusting the flame to the desired height.
The two ExtraLow® burners on the left side
cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to
turn them OFF if a power failure occurs because
they will not turn back on until the control knobs
are turned OFF and then turned back on again.
See “What to do if you Smell Gas”, inside front
cover.
• If you have low gas pressure, contact your gas
company.
