5. 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 9 

Check that there 

is an ignition 

spark at the pilot 

port. 

Fit the control 

knob over the 

control valve. 

To initiate a spark 

depress the 

control knob.  

While keeping it depressed, turn counter clockwise until the click 

of the spark igniter is reached. 

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. 

 

6. INSTALL THE FIRE 

To prevent hearth damage, two plastic caps are included in the 

accessory pack.  Fit these caps over the heads of the leveling screws 

in the front feet. 

Level the fire by slackening the two lock nuts and turning the 

leveling 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. 

 

7. CONNECT THE GAS SUPPLY 

To gain access to the appliance connection point, the center panel 

in the firebox floor must be removed by unscrewing four screws 

and lifting 

it clear (see 

figure 10). 

Route the 

supply gas 

line to the 

heater 

connection 

point. 

The 

appliance is 

supplied 

with a 

3/8”NPT 

elbow 

connector 

for connection to the supply pipe. 

Use only new black iron or steel pipes or copper tubing it 

acceptable - check local codes. 

Note:

 In USA copper tubing must be internally tinned for 

protection against sulfur compounds. 

Unions in gas lines should be of ground joint type. 

The gas supply line must be sized and installed to provide a supply 

of gas sufficient to meet the maximum demand of the appliance 

without undue loss of pressure. 

Sealant used must be resistant to the action of all gas constituents 

including L.P gas.  Sealant should be applied lightly to male 

threads to ensure excess sealant does not enter gas lines. 

The supply line should include a manual shut-off valve and 

union in the line for safety and to allow the appliance to be 

disconnected for servicing. 

Pressure test the supply line.  The appliance and its individual shut 

off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system 

during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in 

excess of 1/2psig (3.5kPa). 

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system 

by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure 

testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or 

less than 1/2psig (3.5kPa). 

All piping and connections must be tested for leaks after 

installation or servicing. 

All leaks must be correct immediately. 

When testing for leaks:- 

(a)

 Make sure that the appliance control knob is at the OFF 

position. 

(b)

 Open the manual shut-off valve 

(c)

  Test for leaks by applying a liquid detergent or soap solution 

to all joints.  Bubbles forming indicate a gas leak.  NEVER USE 

AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS 

(d)

 Correct any leak detected immediately.  Refit the firebox floor 

panel when testing results are satisfactory.
