Starting The Pilot Flame
The pilot flame is required to ignite the
main burners (it also plays a safety role). It
should be left on once lit. It will stay lit
unless the gas control valve is turned to
"OFF". However, the pilot will go out if the
gas is shut off, the propane tank runs out (or
low) or if the stove malfunctions. If the pilot
turns off frequently, call your dealer for
information. To start the pilot follow the
directions below:
WARNING:
When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the
glass must be removed (see page 28).
a Remove the glass (see page 28 for
details).
b Push the gas control knob in slightly and
turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob
will not turn from "ON" to "OFF" unless the
knob is depressed slightly. Wait five
minutes to let any gas that may have
accumulated inside the firebox escape.
If you smell leaking gas, follow the
directions on the cover "IF YOU SMELL
GAS".
c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT"
position and press the knob in, this will
allow gas to flow to the pilot light. Press
the button on the pilot igniter repeatedly
until you see the pilot light.
WARNING:
If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds,
release the knob and call your dealer for
service. Do not attempt to light pilot until
service has been performed.
NOTE:
You may wish to remove the log set to gain
a better view of the pilot (see page 30).
d Keep the gas control knob depressed for
30 seconds once it is lit.
e Release the gas control knob. If the pilot
goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot
refuses to stay lit, call your dealer for
service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step
“f”.
f Replace the glass.
g Turn the gas control knob counter-
clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit
and the heater can be turned on and off.
