PERIODIC QUICK CLEANING
We recommend that you periodically brush the outside of the burner slots with a brass wire brush and clean the burner tube through the air shutter with the tool we have provided.
This can be done by locating the burner air shutter underneath the bowl panel and inserting the tool through each air shutter, rotating the tool. Figure 15. Be careful when inserting the burner cleaning tool not to damage the igniter electrode.

CAUTION: It is important to increase the frequency of this cleaning procedure during the spring and summer months.
IGNITION SYSTEM
If the Ignition System fails to ignite the burner, light manually. If Manual ignition is successful, then check the Ignition System.
■Check that both the white and black ignition wires are attached properly. Figure 16.

■Check that the igniter button pushes down completely and returns to the UP position.
■Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame. Tighten if necessary; see Step “Install Igniter” for the correct procedure.
If the Ignition System still fails to ignite the burner, use the Manual Lighting procedure and contact your dealer.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner has been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in Figure 17. If the flames do not appear as shown in figure 18, or if “popping” noises occur, follow the burner cleaning procedures.

CAUTION: Your LP tank connection is equipped with an excess flow device. If it activates it reduces the flow of gas to the burner. If this should occur turn off the LP tank and turn the test valve OFF. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to clear. Then turn on the LP tank and slowly turn the test valve ON and try to ignite again.
