1. Check the appliance to make sure that it is set up as per the diagram (Figure 1).
2. Make certain the manual valve is turned to the “OFF” position (Figure 2).
3. Open the cylinder control valve by turning it counterclockwise as per the diagram (Figure 3).
4. Place a lit multipurpose lighter above the burner. Turn the manual valve control toward the “ON” position until
ignition occurs. See Figure 4.
When lighting the burner, if ignition does not occur in 3 to 5 seconds, turn the manual valve and cylinder control
off. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse. Repeat procedure.
5. Check that the flame is blue near the burner ports and that the flames are emitted from every port in the burner
(Figure 5). The flame should be directed upward and toward the center above the appliance. A normal flame will be
blue near the burner ports and then become yellow above the lava rocks as it extends upward. If there is a yellow
flame being emitted from the ports, or if some ports have no flame, this indicates there may be an obstruction in
the venturi tube or ports. Check the maintenance instructions on page 16 for more information regarding a yellow
flame.
Adjustment of the lava rock placement may be necessary to produce a realistic looking flame that extends upward
above the appliance. AlwAys allow time for the lava rocks to cool completely before removing or adjusting lava
rocks. neVer attempt to move lava rocks while the appliance is lit or still hot.
6. Always monitor the flame while in operation. If at any point the flame is accidentally extinguished, immediately turn
the manual valve and cylinder valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for gas to disperse and relight the appliance according to
the lighting instructions (#1 - #5) in this section.
