or safety of the product. The variances in size of the pebbles may be used to 
ensure  suitable  placement  of,  when  laying  them  out  over  the  bed  of 
vermiculite. 

 

Place the pebbles in rows starting at the front of the grate and build them row 
by  row, until the  burner  tray  is completely  covered with  pebbles. The rows 
should be staggered 

(see figure 1).

   Only one level of the pebbles is required. 

It is not advised to stack pebbles on top of each other. 

 

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.
