In order to change from one setting to another depress the control knob slightly and
turn the knob to the required position. Alternatively, if a setting between LOW and
HIGH is required, then the control knob may be turned to this position.
Note: We recommend you use the appliance at a low setting for the first few hours of
use to reduce the thermal cracking of the surface of the burner.
Surface cracking of the burner is normal and is no cause for concern. Whist binding
materials are being burnt out of the burner there may be a slight odour.
To Turn the Fire back to Pilot Setting
Depress control knob and turn clockwise until pilot setting is reached.
To Turn the Fire OFF Ensure control knob is in pilot position, depress control knob
and turn clockwise to the OFF position.
For fires fitted with Aeration control
For appliances fitted with variable aeration control, the lighting and adjustment
procedures are as normal. To operate the aeration control system, the following
procedure should be followed:
•
Allow the appliance to warm up, (for at least fifteen minutes) in the fully aerated
position, with the control lever pushed in to the locked position – see figure 3.
•
Switch to the minimum aerated position by slightly lifting the control lever. A
spring mechanism will close the aeration shutter.
•
To return to the fully aerated position push the control lever in and slightly
downwards until it rests in its locked position.
Please note : It is advisable to run the fire in its fully aerated mode (control knob
pushed in) at the beginning of each operation and if running at the minimum rate
setting, or to burn off any carbon deposits which may have built up after prolonged
use of the minimum aerated setting.
