Step 1: Lighting the stovetop
Ensure your propane tanks are filled and on.
Turn your desired burner knob on and turn the igniter knob until the chosen burner ignites.
The flame should be a crisp blue flame. If it is orange and poppy, you will want to run it for a few seconds until air has escaped from the line providing the crisp blue flame.
This same process will help evacuate air anytime you just refilled the LP system or recently removed the unit from storage.
Step 2: Light Pilot Light For Oven
- You should always light the stovetop first to ensure you have evacuated any air in the LP system.
- Open the oven door and locate where the pilot is.
- Have a long stem lighter ready and available to light near the pilot.
- Turn your oven knob to the pilot on, you have to push down on the knob when lighting the pilot. Do not release immediately.
- After lighting the pilot, hold down the knob for 10-15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to sense the pilot is lit.
- Turn the oven knob to the desired temperature.
- Allow to reach temp and cook.
- When complete turn the oven knob off and ensure the pilot light is out.
