seconds and release.
4. If burner does not stay lit, turn to “OFF” position and
wait 5 minutes and repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. If burner does not light, use a lighter positioned
against the bottom of emitter screen at burner
location.
Checking for Leaks
Make 2-3 oz. of leak solution by mixing one-part liquid dish soap with three-parts water.
1. Make sure control knobs are off.
2. Spoon or brush several drops (or use squirt bottle) of solution onto the gas regulator and tank
connection.
