14. FULL OPERATING CHECKS
14.1 Check the control settings.
Please note:
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which could
set off smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new
appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use
.
14.1.1
Lighting the burner.
Open the isolating valve on the ‘T’ connector. Screw on the end cap and test for
leaks.
Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position. A
‘click’ will be heard as the integral piezo operates. A flame should appear at the pilot
to the left hand side of the ceramic fuel effect. When a flame appears at the pilot keep
the control knob depressed and hold the pilot ignition position for five seconds. When
the control knob is released the pilot flame should remain lit.
If there are no sparks check the spark gap between electrode wire and pilot tip.
14.1.2
Operating the burner.
Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’ (Depress the knob slightly to get past
the pilot ignition position). The main burner should now light. Depress the control
knob slightly to release from the ‘HIGH’ position and turn back (clockwise) to ‘LOW’.
While turning, the burner flames should gradually become lower but remain alight.
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘LOW’ position and turn back
(clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main burner should extinguish but the
pilot should remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly and turn back (clockwise)
to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.
14.2 Check for spillage.
1.
Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2.
Light the appliance and set the control to the ‘High’ position.
3.
Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
4.
The smoke match should be placed horizontally into the hotbox at the right hand
side (See figure 26).
The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the appliance.
If the smoke is not drawn into the appliance leave the appliance alight at the
maximum setting for a further ten minutes and then repeat the test. If the smoke is
