Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting the
burner, it will take a few minutes for the lines to purge
themselves of this air. Once the purging is complete,
the burner will light and operate as indicated in the
instruction manual. Subsequent lighting of the
appliance will not require such purging.
