Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need
standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.
In case of a power outage, you can light the burners with a match. Hold

How to Select Flame Size

the bottom of the cookware is wasted heat and only serves to heat the
handle.
