Problem

Burner will not light using ignitor.

Possible Cause

GAS ISSUES:

•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 connected.

ELECTRICAL ISSUES:

•Electrode cracked or broken; “sparks at crack.”

•Electrode tip not in proper position

•Wire and/or electrode covered with cooking residue.

•Wire is loose or disconnected.

•Wire is shorting (sparking) between ignitor and electrode.

Prevention/Solution

•Make sure valve is positioned inside of burner tube.

•Ensure burner tube is not obstructed with spider webs or other matter. See cleaning section of Use and Care.

•Make sure LP cylinder is not empty. If LP cylinder is not empty, refer to “Sudden drop in gas flow.”

•Turn off knob and disconnect coupling nut from LP cylinder. Reconnect and retry.

•Turn the coupling nut approximately one-half to three-quarters additional turn until solid stop. Tighten by hand only - do not use tools.

•Replace electrode.

•Tip of electrode should be pointing toward gas port opening on burner. The distance should be 1/8” to 1/4”. Adjust if necessary.

•Clean wire and/or electrode with rubbing alcohol and clean swab.

•Reconnect wire or replace electrode/wire assembly.

•Replace ignitor wire/electrode assembly.
