Hi gang,

     Pulled my fridge out on the weekend. General condition of everything is
very good
(clean --- cleaner now, rust free, all connections look good).Works fine on 120
AC. Took the
burner box apart. Cleaned it all up and re-assembled. The ignitor sparks nicely
and the intake
and exhaust chimneys are all nice and clean. I hooked it up to the barbecue tank
(I know there was
propane in it since I cooked dinner with the same tank afterwards) and commenced
to trying to light the fridge ---- and got nowhere. So I've got a few questions:

!) What is the valve beside (to the right) of the pump/ignitor for? Is this a
pilot light? --- the spark from
the ignitor seems to jump to the tip of the outlet that leads back to this
valve.

2) Is there a way to be sure propane is getting to the burner box. I re-opened
the burner box and opened the
valves ---- couldn't smell any propane. Would I blow myself up if I put a match
to the outlet beside the ignitor??

3) What is the purpose of 'burping' the fridge??? Is this going to help me or
does the fact that the fridge works on
AC mean this in unnecessary.

4) Is there any indication (other than peering in the window of the burner box)
that the thing is lit --- a little
popping sound or something???

Any and all advice appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
I'm hoping you can help me achieve 'Dometic' bliss........

Cheers,
