Power failure
9 WARNING
In the event of a power failure, turn all knobs to the
OFF position. Only the standard burners can be lit
manually.
• In the event of a power failure, only the standard
burners can be manually lit. It is necessary to light
each one individually.
• If the rangetop is being used when the power failure
occurs,
turn all knobs to the OFF position.
• The standard burners can be lit by holding a match at
th
e ports and turning the control knob to the HI
position. Wait until the flame is burning all around the
burner cap before adjusting the flame to the desired
height.
• The burners with the ExtraLow
®
feature cannot be
used during a power failure. Be sure to turn them off.
• If a burner with ExtraLow is on when a power failure
occu
rs, it cannot be turned back on until the knob is
first turned off.
• If you smell gas, refer to safety precautions listed in
t
he Safety chapter.
Flame height
• The correct flame height depends on 1) size and
material of pan being used; 2) food being cooked; and
3) amount of liquid in the pan.
• Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
• Use a low or medium flame for pan materials that
con
duct the heat slowly, such as porcelain coated
steel or glass-ceramic.
Flame description
Yellow flames:
Further adjustment is
re
quired.
Yellow tips on outer cones:
Normal for LP Gas
Soft blue flames:
Normal for natural gas
• If the flame is completely or mostly yellow, verify that
the regulator is set for the correct fuel. After
adjustment, retest.
• Some orange-colored streakin
g is normal during the
initial start-up.
• The burner flame color should be blue with no yellow
on t
he tips. It is not uncommon to see orange in the
flame color; this indicates the burning of airborne
impurities in the gas and will disappear with use.
• With propane (LP) gas, slight yellow
tips on the
primary cone are normal.
• The flame should burn completely around the burner
ca
p. If it doesn’t, check that the cap is positioned
correctly on the base and that the ports are not
blocked.
• The flame should be stable with no excessive noise or
flu
ttering.
