CHECK IGNITION SPARK
The pilot electrode is situated at the right side of the firebox above the
rear port of the pilot and cross lighting burner - see figure 7.
Check that there is an ignition spark at the pilot port.
7.1
Place the control bezel over the gas tap spindle and locate the
two pegs in the holes in the gas tap bracket. The indicator mark on the
bezel will allow the rotation of the control knob at each setting to be
checked while the outer case is detached.
7.2
Fit the control knob over the gas tap spindle.
7.3
To initiate a spark, depress the control knob. While keeping it
depressed, turn to IGN position. The spark should be produced while
turning.
7.4
If there is no spark produced during several attempts, check
that the electrode lead is properly connected to the electrode and that
the spark gap is correct. Replace parts, if necessary, as described in the
relevant servicing sections of this manual.
8.
INSTALL THE FIRE
8.1
To prevent damage to the hearth, the fire is supplied with two plastic caps (in the accessory pack). Fit these caps
over the heads of the levelling screws.
8.2
Place the fire centrally on the hearth ensuring that the spigot lines up with the spigot hole in the closure plate and
gently slide into place. The spigot must enter the closure plate to a depth of at least 25mm.
8.3
If the fire is fitted to a recessed fireplace, an extension flue spigot up to a maximum total length of 125mm,
measured from the back of the fire, may be used. This must be a tight fit over the flue spigot and be secured by at least
two self tapping screws.
8.4
Level the fire by slackening the two lock nuts and turning the levelling screws in the front feet up or down as
required while they bear on the hearth. When the fire is level and square to the wall, retighten the lock nuts.
9.
CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY
9.1
To gain access to the appliance connection point, the
centre panel in the firebox floor must be removed by
unscrewing four screws and lifting it clear (see fig. 8).
9.2
Prepare a suitable gas supply point adjacent to the fire.
9.3
Provision for isolation of the gas supply upstream of the
fire must be provided for safety and servicing.
9.4
The supply pipe must be of rigid material (e.g. copper).
A flexible connection must not be made.
9.5
The appliance inlet pipe is fitted with an RRP1/4
(1/4in.B.S.P) elbow connector the connection to the supply
pipe.
9.6
After connecting the supply line to the appliance,
pressure test the installation pipework for gas soundness in
accordance with the current edition of B.S 6891.
9.7
