Page 3 Figure 1. There is a metal cover with one screw you remove to see the burner. THAT screw is labeled in that pic. Have someone push the inside Safety button and then someone outside lights the flame. Doug
PS, on this model it takes 2 people. Now, on the back of the refer you will see a slot in the gas valve to manually turn the gas inlet valve OFF. So, to SAFELY do the lighting by yourself, you would turn the gas valve OFF at the back(not the selector switch inside). The slot is horizontal now(open) Turn it vertically will shut it OFF. Once OFF you make sure the inside selector switch is ON LP. Then get some type of wedge like a toothpick or something to HOLD the Safety valve push button IN. Go outside and turn the gas valve ON and then light the burner. Then go back inside and MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE WEDGE KEEPING THAT SAFETY VALVE PUSHED IN. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THAT SAFETY VALVE WEDGE TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!. The flame will stay on. You can purchase an after market electric Piezo kit to fabricate a way to light the refer in the future. It appears The Piezo has been discontinued
