D. HEATER (BURNER) SECTION:
Problem | Solution | Comments |
1.Pilot will not light using the igniter (or with a long match – “A” models only).
Make sure propane tank is not empty and that propane tank valve and heater valve are both turned “on”.
Note: Valve must be in “pilot” position and must be pressed “in” while igniter is actuat- ed, otherwise pilot will not light. After pilot lights you must hold the knob “in” for up to 45 seconds in order to engage the thermo- couple. Then the knob may be released and rotated “full on” to light the heater burner.
Note: When a new tank has just been installed there will be a delay while the propane fills the hose as it flows up to the pilot.
Make sure all wires that attach to the back of the igniter are firmly in place.
2.Pilot flame is long and yellow (and main burner is not yet on).
3.Burner lights, but flame is irregular and seems to burn around only part of the burner’s periphery.
4.Pilot lights, but burner will not light.
If igniter wire to pilot/electrode assembly is loose (or is not connected), then pilot will not light using igniter. Wire must be reconnected or replaced if damaged. Contact Coleman Customer Service
Pilot air port may be restricted or partially restricted. Blockage will need to be removed. Contact Coleman Customer Service

Some of the spot welds holding the burner assembly together may have failed. Replace burner assembly.
Main burner gas tip may be restricted. Replace main burner gas tip. Contact Coleman Customer Service
If spark gap at electrode is too wide, hard lighting or no lighting may result. Contact Coleman Customer Service
Note: It is normal for the pilot flame length to increase when the main burner is on.
