Pilot Assembly / ODS
There is a highly sensitive oxygen depletion sensor designed into the pilot light.
If any part is damaged the entire unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to
bend or alter the flame head, thermocouple or aeration hole. Use only genuine
spare parts as similar looking parts from other appliances may well give
different or inferior performance and could lead to a hazard.
Spark / Ignition Failure
The gap between the pilot electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 – 4.5mm and
normally adjustment is not necessary (the electrode is very brittle). The spark
should jump across the gap between the electrode and the gas outlet on the
pilot head. If the ignition fails, a lighted taper or match can be inserted into the
pilot area to check that gas is reaching the pilot. If the pilot lights using a taper
or match then check the ignition lead has not become detached or the pilot gap
is correct. If the problem still exists replace the pilot assembly.
Ensure the spark is not arching to the metal shelf by repositioning the shelf.
