There is a small hole on side of grill . Facing grill on left side underneath the side burner. A fireplace match can be inserted to light grill.

Haven't tried it, but I'm sure that if you were to use a bbq type igniter it should be easy. I would put the flame of the igniter down by where the units igniter would spark, then turn on the gas (middle burner). Should light right up.

I found the torch I bought works great---what does " flame on " mean the flame adjusts with the tip and pressing the trigger starts the flame--If this simple device confuses you---- stick to matches and candles.

It's very easy, turn everything on, w/ on hand push in red button below screen, w/other use (your own stuff) a long match, long bic lighter etc; there is a brass point at the base of the screen, while holding red button, hold flame to the point. Hold it just till you start to see a red glow.

Do you have 2 cig lighters in car you can hook this in to? Try the other one. Did you turn the car on when you plugged it in? Radio is on? If so it must be defective. It should light right up. There is no button that needs to be pressed.

I have to use a blow torch type cigar lighter to really heat up the element till you see some red glowing inside portions of the burner element. Use Zippo fluid too. seems to burn better. once lit burn for aprox. ten hrs or more. Don't put in bag and in your pocket for a few min. after lighting.

I wish I could help, I asked the same thing from amazon and portasol directly without a response. I did find that if you're using the smallest soldering tip it never lights. Use the bigger one and you'll get it to light a little more often

It's very simple just add some butane fuel( I like to use the brand ronsen) once u have added the fuel just pull the hammer back and lighter will ignite at first it might not spark so u might had to click it a few times or use a match or another Lighter to ignite the dusk after that it will work great AMD it also has a flash light on It as well. Both work great just make sure u add the right amount of feu, and do nt over fill!!

You have to flip the switch to the on position. After that you just have to touch the face of the ring to the "glass" part of the lantern and it should light up.

Try to bleed out the system. Hold down the gas button for like 15 seconds then hit the ignite button. Fire should light. If no fire then theres no gas. If the fire starts hold the gas down for another 10 seconds then let go. It should stay on. If that doesn't work then the sensor in it might have died. Cant remember the name of the sensor but that happened to me before. When it died i just bought a new one.

The igniters just didn't work from the start. So, I went back to using an old fashioned extended lighter and it works fine.

I don't know, why doesn't it fire? Did you insert the ignitor and plug into the engine? Did you then attach the two cables for the firing remote, insert the plug in the remote....hold down the plug for the light to come on and press the fire button?

The lanterns come with a wick....you need to provide a lighter to light it. Matches don't stay lit long enough to light it.

When I received mine, every type of lantern that I ordered, has a very thin wire that need to the middle and crosses in that middle there is a loop you shove it through the hole in the fuel and then just simply bend over the wire to hold it in place then you light it really gently. Once you get them you realize exactly what I am talking about

No match necessary. You fill it with fluid then press the red button on the back to ignite it. There is a slide on the side to adjust the flames too

you would be able to manually light the burners with a match/lighter, but the oven would not work, nor would the electric ignitor

Without actually seeing the device it is hard to tell why it won't ignite. I woukd offer the same advice as below and try taking out the cartrudge and reinstalling it, then try to ignite it. Maybe the unit is worn out if you hsve had it a while. Usually it is something simple so ask a friend to try it from scratch. Hope you get it resolved. My wife loves hers. Ask for a new for Xmas. Have a happy holiday.
