POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure, only the standard (non- ExtraLow®) burners and grill can be lighted manually. It is nec- essary 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. Then, the standard burners and grill can be lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning the control knob to the Hl posi- tion. Wait until the flame is burn- ing all the way around the burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired height.
The two ExtraLow® burners on the far left side cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them OFF if a power fail- ure occurs. They will not turn back on until both control knobs are first turned OFF and then turned back on again. The griddle and wok cannot be used during a power failure. See What To Do If You Smell Gas,
