Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Burner does not light. | No gas supply, gas cylinder empty, igniter issue, clogged burner. | Check gas cylinder level. Ensure gas valve is open. Check gas hose and regulator connections. Clean burner ports if clogged. Use a long match or lighter to ignite manually. |
| Irregular or weak flame. | Low gas pressure, partially clogged burner, incorrect burner cap placement. | Check gas cylinder level. Ensure regulator is functioning correctly. Clean burner ports. Ensure burner caps are seated correctly. |
| Smell of gas. | Gas leak. | IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply at the cylinder. Ventilate the area thoroughly. Do not operate any electrical switches or create any sparks. Perform a leak test with soapy water. If a leak is found and cannot be resolved by tightening connections, do not use the stove and seek professional assistance. |
| Flames are too high/spread out. | Incorrect gas pressure, burner jet size. | Ensure the correct regulator is used for your gas type. Adjust flame with control knob. If flames are consistently too large even at low settings, consult a qualified technician. |
