• Pilot Orifice: A clogged pilot orifice can cause a weak pilot flame. This requires professional cleaning.

8.2 Main Burner Does Not Ignite

• Pilot Lit: Confirm the pilot light is actively burning. The main burner will not ignite if the pilot is out.
• Control Knob Position: Ensure the control knob is turned to a numbered heat setting (1-5) and not just 'Pilot' or 'Off'.
• Presion del gas: Low gas pressure can prevent the main burner from igniting. Consult your gas supplier or a professional.
