Too much carbon deposit is on
the inside of the gas screen.
Cause
There is no igniter battery or the igniter
battery is short of power.
The igniter battery is incorrectly inserted.
The igniter is broken or cracked.
The ignition wire is loose or disconnected to
the igniter.
There is electricity leakage in the ignition
wire or the needle of the ignition wire cannot
aim at the hole of the burner while lighting.
The gas cylinder switch is not turned to On.
The regulator is loose or disconnected from
the gas cylinder.
There is no gas or short of gas.
Turn on the switch of the tank and at the
same time, turn on the control knob (J)
which caused the excess flow safety
valve to activate.
There was an obvious gas leakage in the gas
system caused by excess gas and the flow
safety valve was activated.
The regulator has bends or kinks that cause
the poor flow of gas inside of hose.
See "There is no gas or short of gas" above. See "There is no gas or short of gas" above.
The flame was blown out by high or gusting
winds.
A loose connection exists between the
thermocouple and the valve.
Debris fell inside the gas screen and blocked
the flow of oxygen.
Debris fell inside the gas screen and covered
the flame in the burner hole which also
caused the low temperature during
conduction.
The gas screen was covered by debris which
caused improper burning.
Carbon deposits will occur if
gas can not sufficiently burn when using
the appliance.
