If the power is down/off at your home, can you still use the burners by lighting them with a match?

Hi Joe--Naw, it doesn't appear that you can. It is possible to light the burners with a match if the electronic igniters were to fail, but the range must still be receiving power. When I trip the circuit breaker at the fuse box and try to light the burners by hand, I can't. There must be some kind of annoying "safety" feature that shuts off the gas to the burners if the unit loses electrical power--Chris

Yes; I do on the smallest burner. It's a great product... you won't be disappointed!

I don't know if it can, we have not used the burner that way. We hook it up to a portable tank. Sorry.

I suppose you could yes, but I would use a continuous light source that gives off little or no heat such as LED lights.

Sure. I have a great friend who owns a restaurant and he uses these for cooking sauces all the time. Obviously you have to be careful with any fire inside and I wouldn't use it for space heating, but cooking during a power outage, perfect.

To use the rotisserie you will need electricity. The ignition system to light the burners is battery operated.

There is no electricity involved in lighting the burners. Those are powered by batteries that are easy to install (included when I purchased my grill) and I have yet to have them replaced after about 4 years. The only electricity required is to power to the rotisserie system.

I've been using these for years. Some of mine are 10 years old. My preferred way of lighting them is to use a lighter with long end like the ones you use to light a fireplace or gas or charcoal grill. When it ignites it will do a "poof" and may scare you. I have used long kitchen matches without any burns but I prefer to use the lighter.

You could. But you would have to stay away from the burners and any surface that is exposed to excessive heat.

You can probably use the same outlet and use the low wattage burner without trouble. The high wattage burner should not be used with any other piece of equipment on it. As a precaution, I have the double burner in a circuit breaker and turn everything off or reconnect other items if I want to use the high wattage burner. I don't plug it directly into an wall outlet just to be sure I don't blow the circuit breaker. Be cautious if you have older wiring or don't know exactly how things are set up.

Yes, you just have to use a match or a lighter. However I would not purchase this range, our oven will not hold a consistent temperature, some days it is right on, the next day it is 50 degrees off. We have had repair folks out three times and they say nothing is wrong. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

No a match or lighter will light them easily and no flare up so they are safe. I used them the other day to burn a pile of brush. I used one on each side and it burned beautifully. Great product. I was using a chimney to light lump charcoal for my Kamado grill but the fire starter works great.

Yes you can, but be careful to keep the handles clear of the burner flame. The plastic coating on the handles can burn, to prevent this from happening(again) I broke the plastic off with pliers. Problem solved and they still function as intended.

I have used this stove indoors when I have had need of an extra burner, but I have not used it during a power outage.

to your question: Yes, it can be easily lit with stick type matches or a Grill type lighter. Somtimes the igniters crap out and its just as easy. Nice little heater-have 2 of them. Very efficient.

I am not sure, but I think not. I disconnect the power source nightly. So many space heaters cause home fires. I usually do no set it at all. I just turn it on. Why don't you call Honeywell?
