Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, only the standard burners
can be lit 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 lit 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 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” on
page 1.
If you have low gas pressure, contact your gas company.
Intermittent or Constant Igniter Sparking
Intermittent or constant sparking of the sealed gas surface burners can result from a number of preventable conditions.
Eliminate these conditions as indicated in the following chart.
Rangetop Cleaning Tips
• Use the mildest cleaning procedure that will do the job
efficiently and effectively. Some cleaners of the same
type are harsher than others. Try on a small
inconspicuous area first.
• The porcelain enamel finish is acid resistant, but not
acid proof. Acidic foods, such as citrus juices,
tomatoes, rhubarb, vinegar, alcohol or milk, should be
wiped up and not allowed to bake onto the porcelain
during the next use.
• Always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish
lines for maximum effectiveness and to avoid marring
the surface.
• Use only clean soft cloths, sponges, paper towels,
fibrous brushes, plastic, non-metal or steel wool soap
pads for cleaning and scouring, as recommended in
the chart.
• Most exterior parts of this appliance can be cleaned
with hot sudsy water (except the various items
specifically identified otherwise). When rinsing is
required, rinse thoroughly.
• Always wipe dry immediately to avoid water marks.
