So why can't the piezo do this when lighting the fridge normally instead of having to repeatedly click the air pump knob? Or perhaps this was an improvement on later models? Do you light yours by clicking the the air pump knob (pushing it all the way in)? I would love to have a repeating piezo, similar to my home gas stove, to speed up the lighting process... > I do not have the stock AC/DC/propane buttons, Mine > broke so I just put in 3 toggle switches.
