It's official, 1984 FC35SB, now what?

[Howard O. Truitt]

Keith,
Congratulations on you recent purchase.
I remember trying to get my frig. and stove to light the first time. Check
to be sure the main valve on the tank is open all the way. I turned the
stove on and could hear the pilot popping. It took what seemed like a long
time for the gas to reach the stove the same was true with the frig. Works
perfect now. Good luck.
