Do-It-Yourself Maintenance

POWER FAILURE

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. Then, the standard burners can be
lighted by holding a match at the ports and turning
the control knob to the HI 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 far left side,

cannot be used during a power failure. Be sure to
turn them OFF if a power failure occurs, as they will
not turn back on until both control knobs are turned
OFF and then turned back on again. See “What to
do if you Smell Gas”, inside front cover.

CAUTION:

Before replacing the light
bulb, be certain the Oven
Light Switch is in the off
position. Let bulb and cover
cool completely before
touching. If the light bulb
glass comes loose from the
base, turn the power to
the oven OFF at the circuit
breaker panel, before at-
tempting to remove the
bulb base from the socket.
