Operating Instructions

Gas Leak Test: Before first use, create a soap solution (one part liquid detergent, one part water). Apply to connections. If bubbles appear, there is a leak; tighten fittings and re-test. Never leak test while smoking.

2. Turn the variable control knob to the PILOT position (counter-clockwise 90 degrees).
3. Press and hold the variable control knob for 90 seconds. While holding, press the igniter button repeatedly until the pilot flame lights.
4. Once lit, release the knob. If it goes out, repeat the process.
5. After the pilot flame is established, turn the knob to the maximum position for at least 5 minutes before adjusting to the desired temperature.

Turning Off:

1. Turn the variable control knob to the PILOT position.
2. Press and turn the knob to the OFF position.

Troubleshooting

If the pilot will not light, check if the gas valve is off, the tank is empty, or if there is air in the supply system.
