Issue 6: Gas Pipe Has No Air
Cause:
This problem is caused by the main reason that the gas pipe has no air, causing obstruction to the gas flow and resulting in the stove not igniting. The reason for this condition may be that the air is led into the pipe and accumulates for a long time, obstructing the gas flow.
Solution:
To eliminate the air in the gas pipe, repeatedly ignite it from 3 to 5 times. Make sure to slowly turn the knob and wait for about 2 seconds before igniting.
You repeat the ignition operation with the knob on the gas stove to push the air out of the gas pipe.
Issue 7: Dead Battery, Wrong Battery Polarity, Poor Contact Between Battery Ends
