2.8.2. Cleaning the Pilot
The oxygen depletion sensing pilot fitted to
your 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
No cleaning should be necessary, however, if it should be required, a light dusting with a very
soft brush will remove any soot or dust marks.
Excessive cleaning will remove the dyes and binders used during production, and will lead to a
replacement back being required.
