Turn both knobs to OFF and close the gas supply before working on the button. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where is the ignition battery on a Kalamazoo Artisan Fire pizza oven? It sits inside the electronic ignition button on the control panel. Unscrew the button to reach it. ### Should both burners spark on a Kalamazoo pizza oven when I press the button? Yes. Kalamazoo's installation checklist expects visible sparks from both the upper and lower igniter probes when the button is pressed. ### My Kalamazoo pizza oven clicks fast but will not light. Is it still the battery? Probably not. A rapid click means the spark is working, so Kalamazoo has you try lighting by hand and then check the gas supply, the main valve and the tank. --- **[Read on the site: Kalamazoo Artisan Fire pizza oven clicking slowly or not at all: the ignition battery](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/error-codes/kalamazoo-slow-or-no-clicking/)** **[Book a visit with PizzaOvenRepair.center](https://pizzaovenrepair.center/schedule/)**
