6a.On kettles built after September 2003, the pilot begins sparking and the pilot burner indicator
light illuminates. The pilot burner and indicator light remain on as long as the On-Off switch

pilot for 90 seconds, followed by a 5 minute wait (this repeats until pilot lights or switch is
turned off).

the thermostat calls for heat from the main burners. The pilot burner cycles on and off with the
main burners. If the pilot burner goes out, turn the On-Off switch off for 5 minutes before
attempting to restart the pilot by turning the switch back on.
