Answer
With extended use of the instrument, soot may accumulate on the electrode in the pilot flame unit. When soot builds up in this area, it may obstruct the pilot flame, making it difficult to ignite the burner. In the worst case, the pilot flame may remain lit inside the instrument, causing a fire hazard.
1. Verify that the instrument is turned off.
2. Remove the chimney.
3. Peer into the pilot flame unit and examine the electrode.
