The ceramic fuel-bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and
sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.
The fire must only be operated with the cast surround supplied with the fire.
5.2 Operating the Fire
The controls are located behind the ashpan cover which is situated below the
cast front. The controls, comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push
button piezo igniter. To light the fire proceed as follows :-
1)
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked ignition rate. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the
gas to reach the burner.
2)
Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the
burner does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for a minimum of
10-15 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the burner goes out
when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
Note
:
The burner system on this product has an integral pilot assembly. The
pilot system is part of the burner and is not a seperate component.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :-
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked ignition rate. Insert the tip of a lit taper into the fuelbed ceramic matrix from
the side directly above the burner. This will light the main burner at low rate.
IMPORTANT: TAKE CARE NOT TO LEAN OVER THE FUELBED WHILST
ATTEMPTING TO IGNITE THE APPLIANCE.
3)
After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high
position. It is recommended that for most efficient performance the fire is
allowed to warm up for a few minutes with the gas control on maximum.
4)
The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give
the desired heat output.
WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with a spillage monitoring system which shuts down the fire
if the evacuation of combustion products from the fire is affected by a partially or
fully blocked flue. If this system operates the fire will go out. If this occurs, leave
the fire for at least three minutes then follow the lighting procedure as described in
21
