This is my starting routine. Pump air quite a few times, start
igniting (clicking), *then* push and hold yellow button.

One tip I read of recently. Even though I installed the handy dandy
182A flame meter on my 182B, I find it reasuring to actually look to
check if flame on. So if it's daytime....

To see if flame on, use a cardboard tube. Haven't tried it yet, but
even if it's daytime, I'd bet that one would stand a better chance of
seeing the flame. And, one would also stand a better chance of seeing
if flame gets bigger when fridge warm, and thermostat turned up.

Or one could just wait til night fall.... ;)
