CHECKING FOR NORMAL BURNER (S) IGNITION CHARACTERISTICS
Once the conversion to LPG and all the above steps have been completed, light the main burners.
Turn Gas Dial counterclockwise to “ON” then set Thermostat or push Main Burner ON/OFF switch to turn on
burners. Main burner should now light IMMEDIATELY and flame should not “lift” off burner. If there is any delay
in ignition or if flame is “lifting off” burner, turn off burner and carefully check for proper installation of logs/coals,
vent system and proper pilot flame impingement on burner and thermopile. Logs or coals must not block pilot
flame or main burner flame. Vent system must be leak proof.
