The MPB73 is equipped with automatic ignition. When the broiler is turned on, a hot surface ignitor turns on 5 seconds
before the flow of gas. Gas then flows to all of the burners. If the burners are not lit within 10 seconds, the control will
reset and try again for 10 seconds. This occurs 3 times. If the broiler does not light after the third attempt, the ignition
failure light will flash and the main on/off switch must be cycled to repeat the procedure. If this still doesn’t light the
broiler, see the MANUAL IGNITION instructions.

GAS PRESSURE GAUGE

make sure that all burners - upper and lower - have lit.
