Troubleshooting
Problem
Burners will not light using
the ignitor
Possible Cause
Burners not assembled correctly
Not pausing long enough before
clicking the ignitor button
No spark, electrode cracked,
broken or loose.
LP gas cylinder is empty
Solution
See re-assembly after cleaning in
“Care and Maintenance.”
When lighting Burner, push Control Knob in and turn coun-
terclockwise to the “High” position. Pause 4 seconds, then
push in the Ignitor Button several times, so that it clicks each
time, until the Burner lights.
1. Make sure all the wires are connected and to the right
terminals.
2. If Electronic, check the battery. Make sure it is pushed in
the holder.
3. Gas collector tab is bent (making too large or small of
a gap between the Electrode and tab). By hand, bend
gas collector tab back within a maximum of 3/16” gap
to Electrode. (Page 35)
4. Tighten Electrode mounting screws.
5. Replace damaged Electrodes.
Take LP Gas Cylinder to licensed LP gas supplier to be refilled.
