The flame sensing safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a
device which will shut down the appliance in the
event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is
NOT a substitute for an independently mounted
Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also automatically shut off the gas
supply to the fire if the pilot flame goes out due to
lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If this device starts to repeatedly 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).
(If the pilot does not light, 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.
