I'm trying to ignite my Beton fire pit, and the ignitor just. won't. do it.
Here are some things to check:
Possible Cause 1: Electrode and burners are wet.
- Solution: Wipe dry with cloth
- Solution: Blow out burner and electrode with compressed air
Possible Cause 2: Igniter battery is dead or has been inserted backwards.
- Solution: Check that the AAA battery is inserted correctly in the igniter (see page 10 of the Owner's Manual) or replace the battery as it could be low/dead
- See this link for a Video Demonstration
Possible Cause 3: Igniter cage is covered with media.
- Solution: Make sure that the vent cover is unobstructed. Clear any debris on top of the vent cover and make sure there is no debris between the igniter pin, thermocouple, and the burner tube.
