Solution
Flame burns too hot for
cooking.
Regulator control knob is
turned up too high.
Flame modifier is not in use.
Turn regulator knob down until
desire flame level is reached.
Place flame modifier in the
burner tube to cool flame.
Stove fails to light or
lights with a small yellow
flame.
Type 1 regulator inlet fitting’s
excess flow valve device has
activated.
Fuel tank is near empty.
Shut off the tank valve and the
regulator control knob for a
few seconds. Remove the
flame modifier from the burner
tube. Turn the tank valve on
slowly. Turn the regulator
control knob on one turn and
light stove.
Refill the tank.
Match is blown out as it
approaches lighting hole.
Regulator control knob is
turned up too high.
Turn the regulator control knob
down and try again.
Flame fades slowly and
turns yellow.
Tank is either low on fuel or
too small for the desired appli-
cation (tank chilling indicates
tank is too small).
Fill the tank or replace it with a
larger one. The smallest rec-
ommended tank size is 4 lbs.
The standard Power
Stove fitting does not
work with my tank.
Propane tank manufacturers are
now required to use Type 1
tank valves. The Power Stove
comes standard with a Type 1
regulator inlet fitting to match.
Older propane tanks may not
feature the industry standard
TYPE 1 fitting. Because of the
inherent safety features, Wood-
land recommends you only use
tanks with TYPE 1 fittings.
Heavy black soot forms
on stove and cookware.
Stove is turned too low to burn
efficiently.
Flame modifier is not in use
during low level cooking.
Flame is burning below the
flame modifier while in use.
Use the flame modifier to cool
the stove flame (instead of
turning the stove down to a
yellow flame). When using the
flame modifier, light the stove
at the top of the burner for a
cleaner burn.
