OPERATING THE FIRE
The flame sensing device.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a device which will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot
flame goes out. It will also shut off the gas supply if the flue is
blocked or if there is not enough ventilation.
If this device
starts to frequently shut off the gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe which senses that the heat
from the pilot flame is correct. If this probe is cool, the device
will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is held down
at the ignition position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if
the fire is turned off when hot, always
wait at least three
minutes before attempting to relight
.
To light and operate.
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise towards the
1/IGN position (Figure 1). A spark should be generated at the
pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot. The
pilot flame can be seen through the opening immediately
below the centre radiant (Figure 2).
Keep the knob depressed for about 10 seconds to allow the
flame sensing probe to warm up before turning to your
desired heat setting.
(If the pilot does not light or remain alight, turn the control knob to
OFF and try again. In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition
mechanism, the pilot can be lit with a long match or taper as described
below.).
The control knob can then be set at your desired heat level.
The settings are:
Knob
Position
2
Centre radiant on low. Outer radiants off.
3
Centre radiant on full. Outer radiants off.
4
Centre radiant on full. Outer radiants on low.
5
All radiants on full.
To turn off, partially depress the knob and turn clockwise to
OFF.
Match or taper lighting
If the ignition system will not light the pilot, the fire can be lit
with a long match or taper.
Depress and turn the control to the !/IGN position. Keep the
knob depressed and insert the lighted match or taper into the
pilot viewing opening (figure 2.
When the pilot has been lit, keep the control knob depressed
for approximately ten seconds to allow the flame sensing
probe to warm up and then release it.).
For your own convenience, have the heater serviced as soon as
possible.
CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any
cleaning.
Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright metal
trims may be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried with a soft
duster. Obstinate marks can be removed from the guard and
trims using soapy water.
Never use abrasive cleaners.
The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see below for
how to remove the radiants.
