Does the heater spark ignition? If not, how is the unit lit?

You must use a lighter. This unit does the job of heating but it is cheaply made. We have had ours for three years. just be careful with it

If by spark-you mean 'does it light?' Yes. It stays lit as long as I hold the button down. As soon as I release the button-it dies. Maybe one time out of 20-it will stay lit.

I think a fire starter gives off sparks, correct? If that is the case, then no. It needs a flame to start. We use matches and it starts in a few seconds. Hope this helps.

Remove the front cover look at the positioning of the spark electrode you may be getting gas but no ignition due to the misalignment of the electrode. Check to see if you can smell gas when it tries to light. Propane has a definite odor if you get spark the gas solenoid should also be open. See if it will light with a match, be sure you have good ventilation before troubleshooting for any length of time.

Hi Georgia - it does not have lights per se. Rather, the heating element is a bright metallic orange/red color that lights up when in use. It's like staring at a car's tail light. I find the light from the heater very annoying and too bright to sleep. Unless your bedroom is very small, this heater won't do much to keep you warm.

Yes. I like my unit, but find it pulls a lot of power when the heat is on. It hs a vert authentic looking flame.

As others indicate, the heater will run as long as there's fuel available. The Ignition is a Piezo / hammer type spark generator.and does not use the battery at all The battery operates ONLY the fan. In my opinion - you won't need the fan. It works very well without it.

Spark,We have been very happy with this unit. We have 3 now. It should heat room that size quite easily. Set the heater to the temperature you want, don't just set it on high because it will continue to heat the room, and it will make your room too hot...

It works great for me...one push one spark or bunch of sparks, you have to push each time you want it to start, the first burner starts with a push and the rest of the burners start automatically from each other

Any source of flame or spark will light the stove, since this model does not have the spark lighter attached as in some other models. I would use extreme caution if using a spark, however, since the gas would have to be turned on while being lit. A flare-up would be dangerous.

There is no flame..only a heating element for the heater...it is adjustible. And the appearance when on is pleasurable...it makes the sound of flames and glows like a flame..and it warms my living room ...I have not used my apartment heating at all...no need to.saved a few dollars on heating bills. Overall I would recommend it..I am happy with it. It does have a thermostat..pleased with that too. I luv my fireplace...you can use it with or without heat..I like that....

Yes, When you turn the hot water on it triggers the Ignighter to light the gas, It is powered by 2 D batteries and the burners start to heat the water.

I am in the process of installing the unit in my outdoor shower....in researching the unit I purchased it with the assurance that the ignition was related to water flow.....check that fact out, I believe you will be satisfied if you work within the unit's capacity..

If it's sizzling its lighted. There is no flame. Open the gas valve at the bottom end of it en press the trigger

Yes, it does spark when it works. And the only smell is the burning flesh of the insect. No, there is no danger of fire.

This system has a ignition button that is used to light the pilot light for the unit. Once the pilot light is lit you are good to go.

There may be a problem with the propane. Some heaters have a pilot light in the furnace that must be lighted manually. Others have a auto self-sparking unit that will light the propane. And another possible issue is that either the propane may be turned off at the tank----or the propane has air in the lines. Try lighting the main burner on the stove. Sometimes it is necessary to "bleed" the propane lines, I do this with the stove before trying the furnace. Furnaces will blow cold when initially started, then after a few seconds you will hear the propane light, then a few more seconds before they blow warm, then eventually hot air.

This water heater does not have an electronic ignitor. You have to manually light the burner.
