WARNING! Risk of Explosion!

should be taken so that the ports are not covered. Place
the dime-size ember pieces near the port holes in the
burner top (see Figure 11.2). Failure to follow this pro
-
cedure will likely cause lighting and sooting problems.

• Save the remaining ember materials for use during appli-
ance servicing. The embers provided should be enough
