2.8.2. Cleaning the Pilot
The oxygen depletion sensing pilot fitted to
your Burley Magiglo fire is a highly reliable
safety device which causes the fire to shut
down in the unlikely event of a reduction of
oxygen in the room where the fire is fitted.
After a period of time, it is possible for lint
(carpet fluff, pet hair, dust, etc.) to build up
on the lint guard assembly (see diagram)
causing some of the following symptoms:
1. The pilot does not light readily.
2. Yellow flame on pilot burner.
3. Fire
shuts
down
unexpectedly.
4. The pilot does not stay alight after
releasing the control lever.
If any of the above symptoms show, follow
the instructions below for removing the
offending blockage:
1. Using a pair of tweezers (if available) or
a piece of fine soft wire, pick out the lint
from the lint guard.
2. With the aid of a small nozzle attachment
on your vacuum cleaner, apply suction at
the lint guard on the pilot. Very carefully,
do the same on the pilot head.
If, after carrying out the above procedure,
there is no improvement to the performance
of the fire, seek expert help.

2.8.3. Cleaning the Fire Back
You should not attempt to clean the fireback,
as it is made of soft ceramic fibre, which is
easily damaged. However, if it should be
required, a light dusting with a
very soft
brush will remove any soot or dust marks.
NOTE:
Any attempt to clean the
fire back using an alternative
method, will result in irreparable
damage leading to a
replacement back being
required.
2.8.4. Painted Metal Surfaces
These surfaces should be dusted regularly
and any marks removed with a soft damp
cloth.
