Place the three remaining coals behind and approximately midway
between each of the coals in the front row (See figure 30).
11 FULL OPERATING CHECKS
11.1
Check the
control
The control position markings on the front surround are shown in figure 31.
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear predominantly blue.
Please note that, 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.
11.1.1
Make sure the slider button is at the off position (at topmost position
marked “
O
” on the front surround).
11.1.2
Open the isolating valve on the inlet elbow.
11.1.3
Slide the button to the bottom (ignition) position marked . Retain in
this position to ignite the pilot. The burner should ignite at its lowest setting
within 4 seconds of the pilot igniting. Keep at this position for a further 10
seconds to allow the pilot flame to stabilise.
11.1.4
Release the button. The button should automatically spring up to the
low heat position. If the flames go out at this stage or when checking the rest of the
setting positions, try the full lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after two
attempts, investigate the pilot unit.
11.1.5
Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting. The burner should
be at its maximum setting at the high heat position shown in figure 31. You should feel
a check to the button movement at this position.
11.1.6
Slide the control button up past the high heat position to the off (“
O
”) position
at the top of the slide slot. Both pilot and main burner should go out.
While cooling the coals may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.
11.1.7
Check that the control linkage bar does not interfere with the appliance cable
retention nuts or wires.
