First, detach the hose from your propane tank and wait 30 minutes before re-lighting.

If The Furn does not light after this, carry out the following:

1. Ensure that your propane tank is full.

2. Ensure that the connections to the propane tank and regulator are sealed and secure.

3. Check there are no leaks in the gas hose using a leak spray or by doing a leak test with soapy water. (Leak test explained below.)

4. Push in and slowly turn the gas control knob counterclockwise. Keep the knob pushed in for 5 seconds after ignition.

5. If The Oven is not igniting but the gas is flowing, use a matchstick holder to light the gas. Full instructions on how to do this are in the safety manual. 

6. If your Oven is lighting but making a roaring sound, your gas burner may have ignited in the wrong spot. Simply switch the oven off for 5 minutes, then re-light. 

*To perform a leak test: Put some soapy water on the connection points of the hose, then turn the gas on and see if any bubbles are created. If you see bubbles, you’ve got a leak; go back and make sure your hose is tightly sealed and does not have any tears. If there are no bubbles, you’re ready to make some pizza.
