Retrofit / Upgrade Disclaimer (Important)
If upgrading from a steel igniter to this ceramic igniter, please note:
- Some stoves may require a ring bracket with screw to properly secure the igniter
- Variations in igniter tube manufacturing may affect fitment
Potential Fitment Issue
- Burrs or ridges inside the igniter tube (from drilled air holes) may prevent the ceramic igniter from fully seating
- This can stop the igniter from sitting flush in the tube
Recommended Solution
- Lightly smooth the inside of the igniter tube using a rounded metal file from the rear opening
- This allows the igniter to seat properly and function as intended
Additional Notes
- In emergency situations, the stove can be manually started without an igniter
- Refer to manufacturer guidance or instructional resources if needed
