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.
