If you put your ear up to the exhaust opening,while you push in the thermacouple button, you can actually hear the propane rushing into the burner.I agree w/Jim. Make sure the gas valve is turned on ,on both the valve underneith the van and on the frig.The frig valve knob should point up towards the figure 1.To see the flame in daylight, use an old paper towel tube to look through while the other end is placed against the flame window.You can blow new air into the burner box by unscrewing the plug at the front botton of the frig, and hooking a ruber hose to this and blowing in.Turn the tempature switch to max.Should start up now, so strike away. |
