NOTE: If the flame goes out accidentally, the safety device will engage after about 20 seconds, shutting
off the gas flow, even if the burner gas valve is open.
REMEMBER: When the rangetop is in use, the entire range surface may become hot.
5.1.1 Power failure
In case of a prolonged power outage you can manually light the surface burners.
Hold a lit match near a burner and turn the control knob to the minimum flame symbol 
. After the
burner lights, turn the knob to the desired flame height.
5.2 Tips on using the burners
NOTE: Do not obstruct the flow of heat and ventilation around the edges of the burner grate.
For more efficient use of the burners and to lower gas consumption, use covered cookware that is
proportional in size to the burner to prevent the flame from extending beyond the sides (see paragraph
“5.3 Cookware diameter"). When water reaches the boiling point, lower the flame so that it does not boil
over. To avoid burns or damage to the rangetop, all pots, pans or griddles must be placed within the
perimeter of the rangetop. All cookware must have a flat and smooth bottom. When cooking with grease
or oil, be extremely careful to avoid overheating and a potential grease fire. If the flame accidentally goes
out turn the control knob to off and wait at least 1 minute before trying to re-light the burner.
NOTE: Before turning on a burner, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner with
empty cookware or without placing the cookware on the grate.
Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface or burner.
