Review the lighting steps on page 13. A necessary step is pushing in and turning the gas control
from the off position very slowly. This lets the gas flow into the oven body before the spark
ignites the flame. You should be able to hear the gas flowing before you reach 9 o'clock on the
dial which is where the oven sparks in to ignition. This can take a few attempts depending on how
long it has been since your last firing, ambient temperatures and conditions and your gas set up.
Warning
Take care when lighting and do not look directly into the oven during the lighting process.
It is possible for flames to escape out of the oven opening.
The following techniques will solve most issues:
• Disconnect your regulator from your propane tank for 5 minutes. This 'resets' your regulator
which may have had its safety tripped, preventing gas flow.
• Ensure that your gas tank is full and in an upright position.
• Clear any debris from the regulator and propane tank connections and reattach your
regulator.
• For twist-open gas bottles (US), very slowly open up the gas flow. A sudden surge of gas
flowing through the regulator can trip the inbuilt safety feature in the regulator.
• Before firing up Koda 12 using the control knob, check for leaks at all the connection points
and in the hose with a soapy water solution / leak detector spray.
