Norcold 306 has a 'gas safety control' built into the gas control
No shutoff valve used
To operate on LP
Turn selector switch to GAS Position
Turn Gas Control Knob to HI setting
Push/Hold Gas Control Knob IN
Push piezo lighter several times in rapid succession for about 5 seconds
If LP System has NOT been used for a while turn stove top burners on HI (all of them) and leave burning to place demand on LP System and establish flow (Reg needs to come out of 'lockup' condition in order to control flow/pressure of LP)
Might take SEVERAL attempts at fridge to establish FULL Flow to fridge Gas system
After long periods of negligent a good thorough cleaning of burner, orifice should be done
Canned air doesn't clear orifice or burner of spider webs etc
**Doesn't take much to disrupt air/fuel ratio which is VERY narrow
LP System pressure is 11"WC (0.39 psi) and MUST properly mix with air being pulled in before flammability can occur
Norcold 305/306 Manual.....Pg 10 for burner/orifice cleaning
