LPT: If your gas stove fails to light despite the igniter clicking, blow gently on the burner from the side and it will start burning. This happens because the gas needs oxygen to ignite, but most stoves make you turn to “High” to start the igniter. The amount of gas coming out of the burner surrounds the igniter with gas, pushing any oxygen out of the igniter’s range. Blowing gently disrupts the gas flow enough to mix with air.
