1. Turn off the valve at the bottle
2. open the valves on the cooker burners
3. wait a few seconds.
4. close the valves on the cooker burners
5. Turn on the valve at the bottle
6. open one of the valves on the cooker burner to full...listen for the
sparker thing and open the rest of the valves lighting them.
When finished cooking turn off the valve at the bottle FIRST then proceed
turning off the burners.
Just be sure you always turn on the bottle first when lighting.
