Electricity failure
If there is an electricity failure, you can still use your cooktop. Light the burners by holding a match close to the side of the burner and turning the control knob to the High position. Wait until the flame is burning evenly before adjusting.
Flame failure safety feature (some models only)
Some cooktop models have a flame failure probe (see Fig. 6).
This safety feature cuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame is blown out.
When lighting the burner on flame failure models, hold down the knob for approximately five seconds after the burner has lit. Releasing the knob too soon will extinguish the flame.
If the flames are accidentally extinguished, turn off the burner and do not try to light it again for at least one minute (to allow the gas to disperse).
