WARNING: All gas controls and supply valves should be in the OFF position.
Check igniter:
Make sure wire is connected between igniter and electrode. Check that igniter lock nut is tight.
Note: If the igniter works loose, carefully tighten the igniter lock nut with an adjustable wrench or pliers. Adjust igniter electrode to burner. Gap should be 1/8 to 3/16 inch from tip of electrode to burner. Spark should be a white/blue color, not yellow.
