Electrode has a Cracked Base
If the spark electrode has a cracked ceramic base the spark will occur at the base Ð not near the pilot
hood. Look down at the pilot assembly from the top to inspect. Cracking or an uneven space
between the insulator and the electrode indicates possible grounding near the base. If uncertain,
remove the pilot assembly and inspect.

Remedy
Replace the pilot assembly.
Piezo Defective
Defective piezo igniters will not create the electrical charge necessary. You may notice that the red
button does not create a "snap" when it is depressed or that the button has no spring resistance. The
only way to check this component is to replace it and see if it creates a spark.
Remedy
Replace the piezo igniter.
Gas Line not Purged
All air in the gas line must be purged prior to operation.
Remedy
Remove the glass (or open the door) and depress the gas control knob (on pilot) while repeatedly
pressing the igniter until the pilot lights.
Propane Tank Empty
Make sure propane is still supplied. To verify, check the gas inlet pressure (see "Gas Pressure
Inadequate" on page 2-10).
Remedy
Re-fill propane tank.
Gas Supply Turned Off
Make sure all gas shut-offs are open. To verify, check the gas inlet pressure (see "Gas Pressure
Inadequate" on page 2-10).
Remedy
Turn gas shut-off valves to "ON".
