A:Answer Hi Dawn,
This is Lisa from GE Appliances. I am happy to assist you with your question. In the case of a power outage, you can light the surface burners with a match on your electric ignition gas or dual fuel range or gas cooktop. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the low position.
Note: Use extreme caution when lighting the burners this way. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking with us. We appreciate you considering GE!
