Lighting
the Propane Stove at Beaver Dam Lodge
First,
if previously not lit, usually in the beginning of the winter
season, you have to make sure that the pilot is lit. If you look
at the
bottom through the window, a little from the right you should see the
pilot
lit. If you don't it needs to be lit.
Make sure the master valve, yellow on the line coming in from the floor
is ON,
that is, the handle is in line with the pipe. Then open the little door
at
bottom of stove by flipping it down. You should see a little
rotary
knob with Off, Pilot and ON settings. You have to push it in and twist
to Pilot
position. While holding it pushed in, press the red igniter button a
few times
to the right. You should see the pilot come on. You have to keep
holding the
rotary knob a few seconds so the safety switch keeps the pilot on. Once
it
stays on, you can turn the knob to the ON position.
Also at the bottom of the stove under the flap there is a little
black plastic box with an LED and a three position switch on it.
It is the
receiver for the remote control. It also has four AA
batteries that need replacing every six months or so. The three
position
switch has the following settings: OFF, Remote (RM), and ON. Normally
it should
stay in the middle RM setting and if you need the stove turned on, you
would
press the ON on the remote. If the remote is not available there is a
small
black toggle switch on the back right
top corner
of the stove. You flip that on and the stove should come on. Sometimes
there is
a five second delay after the switch is turned on and the stove comes
on. Also
if the bottom remote switch is all the way to the left, ON, position,
the stove
also turns on. It normally should be left in the middle position, and
either
turned on with the remote or the switch on the back of the stove. |
