Continued on next
page.
Possible Cause
GAS ISSUES:
• Trying to light wrong burner.
• Burner not engaged with control
valve.
• Obstruction in burner.
• No gas flow.
• Vapor lock at coupling nut to LP
cylinder.
• Coupling nut and LP cylinder valve not
fully connecfed.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES:
• Elecfrode cracked or broken; “sparks
af crack.
• Elecfrode tip not in proper position.
’ Wire and/or electrode covered with
cooking residue.
’ Wires are loose or disconnected.
’ Wires are shorting (sparking)
between ignitor and electrode.
’ Dead battery.
Prevention/Solution
• See instructions on control panel and in Use and Care section.
• Make sure valves are positioned inside of burner tubes.
• Ensure burner tubes are not obstructed with spider webs or
other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.
• Make sure LP cylinder is nof empfy. If LP cylinder is not empty,
refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow."
• Turn off knobs and disconnecf coupling nut from LP cylinder.
Reconnecf and retry.
• Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-guarters
additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use
tools.
• Replace electrode (s).
Main Burners:
• Tip of elecfrode should be poinfing toward gas port opening
on burner. The distance should be 1/8" to 1/4". Adjust if
necessary.
Sideburner
• Tip of elecfrode should be poinfing toward gas port opening
on burner, the distance should be 1/8" to 3/16". Adjust if
necessary.
• Clean wire and/or elecfrode with rubbing alcohol and clean
swab.
• Reconnect wires or replace electrode/wire assembly.
• Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
• Replace with a new AAA-size alkaline battery.
