How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off gas before disassembling burner components.

Steps:

  • Clean the burner head thoroughly, paying attention to the small side ports.
  • Inspect the injector (orifice) for debris; clean gently with compressed air (do not enlarge the hole).
  • Check the air shutter (if adjustable on your Tecnogas model) and set it according to the installation manual for your gas type.
