Removal of the burner assembly
4.5.1
Prepare the work area (lay down dust sheets etc,)
4.5.2
Lift the fender and ash pan cover out of the way and put them in a safe
location. Remove all of the loose coals / pebbles and front ceramic rail.
Unscrew the two pozi-drive fixing screws which secure the burner heat
shield and remove it from the fire.
4.5.3
Isolate the gas supply and remove the inlet pipe from the appliance inlet
elbow. To allow burner removal, the control lever operating cable must
be removed. The control lever operating cable can be seen running
across the base of the fire, below the burner. To release the cable,
unscrew the cable securing screw located in the centre of the aluminium
operating arm and pull the cable out from its fixing hole. Release the
other end of the cable by pushing the cable towards the right i.e. into
the operating arm so as to release the tension. Pull the cable nipple out
of the retaining hole and remove the cable through the slot in the
operating arm. Remove the two retaining screws at the base of the
burner unit, and the screw each side of the burner unit. The base of the
burner unit can now be pulled forward, allowing the burner to be
removed from the fire box. Remove the burner assembly from the fire.

Refit the burner assembly to the firebox by carefully pushing the bottom
of the burner back into position. Secure using the two screws into the
side frame of the firebox, and two screws into the base.
It is now necessary to refit and correctly tension the operating cable. To
do this, first set the control lever to the horizontal (central position), this
is the position which creates maximum tension in the operating cable.
Refit the operating cable to the aluminium operating arm, firstly locating
the nipple on one end of the cable into recess in operating arm and
then feed the other end through hole in operating arm. Pull the operat
ing cable until it is finger tight and secure with screw into operating arm
(do not over-tighten). Move the control lever fully downwards and check
that the left hand micro-switch operates the igniter and that the control
valve spindle is fully depressed. Move the control lever upwards to the
“off” position and check that the right hand (cut-off) micro-switch
operates. Check that the control lever operates smoothly and safely.
