Starting The Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the main
burners (it also plays a safety role). It should
be left on once lit. It will stay lit unless the
gas control valve is turned to "OFF".
However, the pilot will go out if the gas is shut
off, the propane tank runs out (or low) or if the
stove malfunctions. If the pilot turns off
frequently, call your dealer for information.
To start the pilot follow the directions below:
WARNING:
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the
glass must be removed (see page 14).
a Remove the glass (see page 14 for details).
b Push the gas control knob in slightly and
turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will
not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the
knob is depressed slightly. Wait five
minutes to let any gas that may have
accumulated inside the firebox escape. If
you smell leaking gas, follow the directions
on the cover "IF YOU SMELL GAS".
c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will
allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press the
red button on the pilot igniter repeatedly
until you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15
seconds, release the knob and call your
dealer for service. Do not attempt to
light pilot until service has been
performed.
NOTE:
You may wish to remove the log set to
gain a better view of the pilot (see page
15).
d Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30
seconds once it is lit.
e Release the gas control knob. If the pilot
goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses
to stay lit, call your dealer for service. With
the pilot lit, proceed to step ÒfÓ.
f Replace the glass.
g Turn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and
the heater can be turned on and off.
