All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire.
After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular
servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually.
Advise that cleaning of the fire may be achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on most surfaces.
Advise that on first light up of a new appliance, initial curing of high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants may occur for
the first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from the outlet grille, this should be no cause
for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this period. During this
period the appliance may cause smoke alarms to sound. If this happens, reset the alarms, but do not remove the batteries.
Recommend that a guard be used for the protection of the young, pets, the elderly and the infirm.
Advise the customer that the ventilation openings should not be blocked or obstructed in any way.
Isolate the fire from the gas supply. Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service.
A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed below.
Firstly, remove the decorative facia assembly - this is the reverse of that described in section 8.3. Remove the inner glass panel,
and disconnect the gas connection inside appliance. The gas connections to the gas valve can now be released. Detach the burn-
er front cover plate by removal of the four retaining screws. Undo the four screws retaining the burner support brackets to the
base and rear of the firebox, and remove the control knob and spindle assembly by removal of the spindle retaining clip. The burn-
er may now be removed. Remove the pilot and main burner pipes and blow through to dislodge any debris. Now remove the
restrictor elbow and blow through to make sure it is entirely clear.
Unclip the pilot lint gauze and clean with a soft brush. Clean the exterior of the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through
the flame ports on the pilot head. Check the aeration holes are free from lint or dirt. The pilot assembly can be removed if
required by disconnecting the electrode HT lead, gas pipe and unscrewing the mounting screws and lifting away.
The pilot assembly is a non-serviceable item and should not be taken apart. Aeration holes must be absolutely clear internally
for proper operation.
NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT.
Modifications are dangerous and can have serious unseen effects on safety. If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt,
the gas supply to it, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
The gas valve is a non-serviceable item. If this needs replacement, remove M20 securing nut holding the valve in place, remove all
pipe unions, electrode lead, thermocouple lead and then the complete valve. Replacement must be original manufacturers parts.
Re-assembly is the reverse of removal. Ensure operating pressures are as stated in Section 2; Appliance Data.
