seconds or less. If a burner does not light, check to see that
the burner cap is positioned correctly on the base.

Automatic Re-Ignition
If any one or more burners blow out, the electronic igniter
automatically activates to re-light the flame. Do not touch
the burners when the igniters are active.
IMPORTANT:
• For proper combustion, do not use the cooktop without
the burner grates in place.
• There is a slight sound associated with gas combustion
and ignition. This is normal.
• On cooktops using propane (LP) gas, a slight "pop"
sound may be heard at the burner ports a few seconds
after the burner has been turned off.

Power Failure

I
• n the event of a power failure, only the Standard
burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light each
one individually.
• If the cooktop is being used when the power failure
occurs, turn all knobs to the OFF position.
• The Standard burners can be lit by holding a match at
the ports and turning the control knob to the
position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the
level.
• The ExtraLow burners cannot be used during a power
failure. Be sure to turn them off.
• If either ExtraLow burner is on when a power failure
occurs, they cannot be turned back on until both knobs
are first turned to the OFF position.
• The griddle or grill accessory cannot be used during a
power failure.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed on
page 1.
WARNING:
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to
the OFF Position. Only the Standard burners
can be lit manually.
Flame Height
• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
conduct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated steel
or glass-ceramic.
