OPERATING YOUR STOVE

This stove is supplied with ceramic fuel effect to simulate a real stove. After some

use, these may change colour. This is quite normal.

The Flame Sensing & Flue Blockage Safety System.

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that will shut

down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. 

This device is NOT a

substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector

The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the gas stove if the pilot

flame goes out for any reason. 

If the device starts to shut off the gas frequently,

get expert advice.

The system incorporates a probe that senses that the heat from the pilot flame is

correct. If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control

knob is kept depressed at the PILOT/IGN position. 

If the safety system operates and the flames go out 

wait at least ten minutes before

attempting to relight

.

Always make sure that the door is securely closed before lighting.

If the gas valve is operated to turn the stove off always 

wait at least three minutes

before attempting to relight

.

Always make sure that the door is securely closed before lighting.

Lighting the burner.

Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position

(See figure 2). A 'click' will be heard as

the integral piezo operates. A flame

should appear at the pilot. Keep the

control knob depressed and hold the

pilot ignition position for five seconds.

When the control knob is released the

pilot flame should remain lit. If a flame

does not appear at the pilot then turn

the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF'

position and repeat the above.

PLEASE NOTE

When operating your stove for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may

cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate

vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless

and will disappear after approximately twelve hours use.
