IGNITION PROBLEM
SECTION I
No sparks appear at any electrodes when
Electronic Ignition Button is pressed; no
noise can be heard from spark module.
SECTION II
No sparks appear at any electrodes when
Electronic Ignition Button is pressed;
noise can be heard from spark module.
SECTION III
Sparks are present but not at all
electrodes and/or not at full strength
POSSIBLE CAUSE
ELECTRONIC IGNITION:
•
No spark, no ignition noise.
•
No spark, some ignition noise.
•

•
Improper method of match-lighting.
•
Out of gas.
•
Excess flow valve tripped.
•
Vapor lock at coupling nut/LP cylinder connection.
•
High or gusting winds.
•
Low on LP gas.
•
Excess flow valve tripped.
•
Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•
No power to spark module
•
Button assembly not installed properly.
•
Faulty spark module.
•

turning gas valve to a higher postion.
Refill LP cylinder.
Refer to "Sudden drop in gas flow" above.
Turn knobs to OFF. Clean burner and/or burner tubes. See
burner cleaning Care and Maintenance Section of this guide
PREVENTION / SOLUTION
•
Plug in module to 120V AC Outlet. Discon-
nect and reconnect wires from transformer
to AC/DC Converter and from AC/DC Con-
verter to spark module.
•
Replace spark module assembly.
•
Remove and reconnect all output connec-
tions at module and electrodes.
•
Remove and reconnect all output connec-
tions at module and electrodes.
•
If sparks are observed other than from
burner(s), wire insulation may be damaged.
Replace wires.
•
Use paper towel to remove moisture.
•
