11  SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT

Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The 
appliance inlet “T” connector incorporates an isolating valve).

It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected 
and the catchment space behind the closure plate checked and cleared of any 
debris. The closure plate must be resealed to the wall after checking.

Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.

Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the holes in the main burner.

Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
