- Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to the 'HIGH' position. You will hear a clicking sound as the electronic igniter sparks.
- Once the flame ignites, continue to hold the knob down for a few seconds (approximately 3-5 seconds) to allow the flame failure safety device to engage. This ensures the gas supply remains open.
- Release the knob. If the flame goes out, repeat the process.
- Adjust the flame size by rotating the knob between 'HIGH' and 'LOW' settings.
