(See note i)

.

Note

i.

 

If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. If

the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.

ii.

 

When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The coals will

take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after approximately ten minutes,
the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer time.

iii.

 

The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during

the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the control to its highest
setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during previous
operations.

iv.

 

If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between

settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during
operation.

Lighting with a taper

See figure 3.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark, the
pilot can be lit by a taper or long spill. Insert the taper or
spill alongside of the left side of the firebox and operating
the slide control as described above.
