This may help, the manual igniter does require two wires, one should be attached to the steel frame of the stove and one should go to the end of the ceramic deviceelectrode) that has a faston type fitting on one end and a little rod that should be about 1/8" from the burner. The little rod is like the center of a spark plug and when you push the button or twist the knob, a spark will be created and pass through the gas coming out of the burner.
Stoves with multiple burners should have multiple sparkers, one at each burner and all in parallel and sparking at the same time.
Most propane devices in RVs have the igniters, home appliances now used elements that glow red hot and ignite the gas. BBQs use the same manual igniter systems although some are battery powered instead of the loud snapping type. I'm not sure but I don't think the igniter will work if the wires are reversed.
If your stove is wired correctly and the gap is +/- 1/8", it should be okay.
