5.3 Fitting the battery to electronic ignition model.
1.
At the front of the electronic spark generator there is a removable circular battery
cover. Unscrew the cover in an anticlockwise direction.
2.
Remove any protective film from the battery and place into the generator. The
negative ( - ) terminal should go in first. The battery cover is marked with ( + ).
3.
Screw on the cap.
5.4 Checking the ignition.
5.4.1
Electronic ignition.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the
electronic spark ignition system operates satisfactorily. To
initiate the spark, temporarily fit the control knob to the
spindle. Apply pressure to the top of the control knob
spindle. Sparks should be generated between the
electrode and thermocouple tip on the pilot unit. If there
are no sparks or incorrect tracking, check the spark gap
between the electrode wire and thermocouple tip (See
figure 6).
If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.
5.5 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
After confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram
smoke pellet and check that there
is a definite flow through the flue.
Verify outside that the smoke exits
from one terminal only and that
the termination is suitable.
Observe, where possible, upstairs
rooms and loft spaces for signs of
escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a
definite flow warm the flue for a
few minutes and repeat the smoke
pellet test. If there is still no
definite flow the flue may need
remedial work –
Do not fit the
appliance until there is a
definite flow through the flue.
5.6 Fit the closure plate.
The spigot opening in the closure
plate has two ‘flange’ sections.
Flange 1
is to be left as supplied.
