You are now ready to light the LAVA Fires gas grate for the first time and carry
out the final step in setting up the gas grate for use.
To light the appliance, refer to Section 7-9 below.

LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE
If at any time during the ignition process, or during use, you smell gas,
immediately turn off the gas supply to the appliance at both the control knob
and at the shut-off valve. Do not use the appliance until it has been checked
for gas leaks as described in
Section 3
by a qualified gas technician.
The gas appliance is fitted with a
Piezo ignitor
, built into the control valve
which automatically ignites the gas grate when the control valve knob is turned
to the IGNITE position. It does not require the use of a lighter of matches for
ignition.
It also does not require batteries or electrical connection
!
After checking that the gas supply on the gas grate is turned on,
press and turn
the control knob
anti-clockwise approx. 50 degrees (direction“10 o’clock”)
and
hold for 5-8 seconds
to allow gas flow into the gas grate.
Whilst the control knob is pressed in,
continue turning
the knob further
40
degrees (direction “9 o’clock”)
until a click sound is heard. This should ignite
the burner! Continue holding the control pressed in for few more seconds until
the flame stops flickering and had stabilized.
If the burner does not ignite the first time, repeat the aforementioned step by
first turning the control knob back to the
OFF
position and then repeating the
ignition action. Do not forget to push the control knob in, before turning it to
the
ignite
position.
Once the burner is lit,
release the knob (from pressed-in position)
. Increase
the flame by turning the control knob in an
anti-clockwise
direction to the
required level of heat output.
To reduce the heat output, turn the control knob in a
clockwise
direction.
