How Do You Lite The Gas Burners On The Range In A Power Outage?

KitchenAid states this is a safety feature, and it cannot manually be done.  No gas is released when power does not exist to the unit.

Hi, if KitchenAid lists it as a safety feature, there is probably no way around it.  There is likely a valve somewhere that only opens when the unit has power.
