NOTE: Remove any excessive pipe

Excessive pipe compound can set off

that period of time (when the magnet is closed), it is possible to start the lighting 
operation. 
The gas control knob is designed to be operated by hand. DO NOT use any tools 
during this operation. Damaged knobs may result in serious injury.
