Troubleshooting

  1. Beeping when Knob is Turned Off
    1. Beeping when knob turned off can be caused two ways.
      1. When the battery is low a non sequenced beeping may repeat, SOLUTION: Replace battery
      2. Magnet is misaligned. SOLUTION: realign magnet as per magnet tool and apply clear tape dot over magnet to keep magnet in place.
        1. The magnet needs to about 7/8″ from the center of the valve stem. Magnets are attached to the stove not the BurnerAlert. See Pictures Below:
