Wrong Wrong Correct
CAUTION
If burner does not light OR if burner flame is accidentally extinguished, turn knob
to OFF, wait 5 minutes, try again. If the burner does not ignite with valve open
OR if burner flame accidentally extinguished after lighting, gas will continue to
flow out of the burner and could accidentally ignite with risk of injury.
CAUTION
Checking and cleaning burner/venture tubes for insect nests. A clogged tube
can lead to fire beneath the appliances. Spiders' nests or wraps' made inside the
burner may cause fire at the air damper. If a fire occurs, immediately turn off gas
supply at LP tank valve.
Turning LP Off
 Turn all knobs to OFF position, turn LP tank OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.
Hose Check
 Cleaning and inspection of pressure regulator and hose assembly prior to use.
 Before each use, check to see if there is evidence of abrasion ,cuts or leaks, the hose must be
replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. The replacement hose assembly shall be
specified by the manufacturer.
