Ignition procedure

Receiver
Check the oval knob on the gas control block. 
Is it set to 'MAN'? If so, turn it to 'ON'.

Delayed ignition of main burner(s)
Check that the gas flows to the main burner (± 3-5 sec. after the engine sound). After this, the burner(s) should (partially) ignite within 10 sec and without a 'WHOOF' sound.

If the burner(s) do not ignite, stop the ignition procedure immediately (potentially dangerous situation)!

Now check the following first:
- Are the blocks or pebbles positioned correctly?
- Are the burner holes (locally) blocked? Remove any dust.
- Is the vermiculite missing?
- Are there any chips on the burner?
- Is the vermiculite evenly distributed over the burner(s)?
