the top of the burner unit. Ideally a vacuum cleaner should
be used, but if not a soft brush will do.
2. Check the condition of the coals. Any damaged ones
will affect the efficient operation of the stove and should be
replaced with new ones available from your stove supplier.
3. All gas joints should be checked to make sure they are
completely sealed and that the gas supply and pressure is
to specification.
4. The pilot jets are correctly set and clear of obstruction.
5. The chimney should also be checked to make sure there
are no restrictions or blockages.
6. Finally re-lay the coals and light the stove as described
earlier.
Problem Solving
Although we recommend that the customer is familiar with
the following it is important that the installation engineer
is contacted to rectify any difficulties.
The gas pilot will not stay alight:
1. Ensure there is a gas supply to the property and that the
isolation tap is in the "on" position.
2. Hold the control knob in the lighting position for at least
20 seconds once the burner is alight, to ensure adequate
heat operation of the safety thermocouple valve.
3. Make sure that the pilot injector is not obstructed or
blocked and that it is free from dust or dirt.
4. Finally ensure that the thermocouple, a very delicate
electro-mechanical device, has not become damaged in any
way. If it is damaged a replacement pilot assembly should
be obtained and fitted by your installation engineer.
FINAL REMINDERS
We remind you that it is a legal requirement that the stove
is installed by a qualified and accredited installation
engineer. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause injury and/or damage to
property.
If you are in the slightest doubt about any aspect of your
stove's performance or you require additional information
then please contact your stove supplier or qualified
installation engineer.
At the risk of stating the obvious, please do not store, keep
or use petrol or any other flammable liquids, vapours or
substances anywhere near the stove or any other heating
appliance.
We hope these instructions have been clear and helpful and
you are now able to enjoy the full benefit of your stove. If
you have any queries or have found any part not as straight
forward as you would like, then please don't hesitate to call
us. Any suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
Please keep these instructions handy for future reference.
Most Important: Before installing the stove, check the
burner data plate, this must correspond with the type of gas
which is to be used, i.e. Natural Gas or LPG.
