MAINTENANCE
Servicing Notes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a GAS
SAFE registered engineer. It is a condition of Flavel guarantees that this is carried
out by a competent person a GAS SAFE registered Engineer in accordance with
these servicing notes
For continued safe operation of the fire the pilot assembly must be replaced at the
annual service. Pilot renewal is also a condition of the above guarantee schemes.
The condition of the Fibre ribbed back should be checked and
if necessary should be
replaced with a genuine replacement only available from BFM Europe Ltd.
3.1
Removing the Piezo Igniter.
a) Remove fascia from the front of the fire.
Isolate the gas supply, loosen the inlet nut, and remove the 2 screws that secure the
pilot heat shield, remove the shield.
b) Loosen the nut to the bulkhead fitting, which is located to the left-hand side of the
convection air aperture.
c) Loosen the pilot pipe, disconnect the ignition lead from the electrode and disconnect
the thermocouple from the pilot assembly.
d) Remove the 4 off fixing screws that secure the control panel in place.
e) Slide the control panel and gas train forwards.
f) Disconnect the ignition lead from the piezo and unscrew the retaining nut on the rear of
the control panel. Withdraw the piezo from the front of the control panel. Reassemble
in reverse order and carry out a gas tightness test.
3.2
Removing the Control Valve from the fire.
