The unit will not operate until the gas pressure of the cartridge returns to the normal range. How to reset the auto safety device 1. Turn the control knob to the “OFF” position 2. Remove the gas cartridge. 3. Turn the ignition knob to the “MAX” position and wait for 5 minutes to release any excess gas inside the unit. 4. Return the ignition knob back to the “OFF” position. 5. Push the cartridge lever down to the “LOCK” position and then release it back to the “UNLOCK” position. 6. Determine the cause of over-pressure, i.e. cooker used in strong direct sunlight, an oversized pot/pan has been used, insufficient ventilation, etc. 7.
