Pilot Assembly / ODS
There is a highly sensitive oxygen
depletion sensor designed into the pilot
light. If any part is damaged the entire
unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to
bend or alter the flame head,
thermocouple or aeration hole. Use only
genuine spare parts as similar looking
parts from other appliances may well give
different or inferior performance and could
lead to a hazard.
Spark / Ignition Failure
The gap between the pilot electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 – 4.5mm and
normally adjustment is not necessary (the electrode is very brittle). The spark
should jump across the gap between the electrode and the gas outlet on the
pilot head. If the ignition fails, a lighted taper or match can be inserted into the
pilot area to check that gas is reaching the pilot. If the pilot lights using a taper
or match then check the ignition lead has not become detached or the pilot gap
is correct. If the problem still exists replace the pilot assembly.
Burner Flame
The flame on this type of appliance is normally directed towards the rear of the
enclosure. This is normal due to the opening size and flue system. The flame
will never stand “upright”. It is to be expected that over time the surface on
the rear of the enclosure will tarnish. This is typical “wear and tear” for a gas
fire.
If the flame is drawn under the shelf this highlights a serious installation fault
and the appliance must not be operated until the cause of the flame reversal is
found. A typical cause would be unsealed burner holes, failure to seal the
enclosure and flue, downdraft on the flue system or incorrect flue system. If
the fire is operated with flame reversal the remote will be damaged and any
resulting heat damage is not covered by the warranty.
Remote Control Components
The remote control used on this fire has only a small number of components to
function:
a)
A black remote box / gas control valve
b)
An ignition lead
c)
A Pilot Assembly
d)
A Hand Set
The remote is built to the latest standards and is new to the UK market. Take
some time to review the lighting procedure and learn about the operation of the
remote.
