8. Fit the front fret by hooking the support lugs at each end through the slots in the front
casing (if using a Straxgas fret), or place an alternative front fret in front of the burner.
Note:
If a fret from another manufacturer is being used, it must comply with the minimum free
area requirements of Fig. 1.
Lighting the fire
The appliance Data Badge is positioned in front of the burner behind the fret and carries the
control knob positions (Fig. 5).
The full lighting procedure is as follows:
Low level control version
1. Push control knob in as far as possible on gas control.
2. Turn knob anti-clockwise until a click is heard. The knob will stop at the ignition
position and a spark should be seen at the tip of the ignition probe. At the same time
the pilot flame should light. KEEP THE KNOB PRESSED IN FOR 10 SECONDS. If
the pilot should fail to light, turn the control knob clockwise to the 'off' position, wait 3
minutes and repeat the procedure.
3. When the pilot flame is alight the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly.
Turn the knob fully anti-clockwise to the high position. The pilot flame should then
ignite the main fire.
4. The height of the flames can be adjusted by turning the control knob between the low
and high positions. Note that the knob 'latches' in position at either end of this
movement and must be pushed in slightly before it can be turned.
5. To turn the fire off, depress the knob slightly and turn it to the pilot position.
6. To completely extinguish the fire depress the knob slightly and turn to the 'Off'
position.
High level control version
1. Proceed as for 1 and 2 above 'Lighting the fire'
2. When the pilot flame is alight the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly.
Turn the knob anticlockwise to the 'Run' position.
3. The height of the flames can be adjusted by turning the knob at the top right hand side
of the fire between the high and low positions.
4. To turn the fire off, turn the high level knob to the 'Off' position.
5. To completely extinguish the fire depress the knob under the burner slightly and turn it
to the 'Off' position.
