65 Dometic Refrigerator, ignitor

[ChromeHome]

I have a 1965 (gas only) Dometic refrigerator. It operates fine (once the flame is on). The flame starts very easily with a "Bic" type lighter. I have 2 used original flint ignitors. I have installed new flints in each of them. They each produce a white spark. Can anyone give me some tips on how to start the flame with the ignitor? I have concerns about how much raw gas needs to be present since it starts so easily with a "Bic" type lighter.


FYI: to start it with a "Bic" type lighter takes:

1) either a contortionist; safety switch is located at floor level under the refrigerator door inside, flame is at back of refrigerator

or

2) 2 people; one to hold the saftey switch, one to light the flame from outside

Thank you,
