Leak test & pressure test
1. Turn on the main gas supply and check for gas soundness.
2. Remove pressure test screw, and fit pressure gauge to pressure test point.
3. Light the fire (see next section).
4. Turn control knob anticlockwise to
High
position.
5. When the control knob is in the
High
position, you should have a gas pressure of
19.0mbar ± 1.0mbar when using natural gas and 36.5mbar for propane.
6. Extinguish the fire by turning the control knob clockwise to the
Off
position.
7. Remove the pressure gauge and replace the pressure test screw. Check again for gas
soundness.
8. Fit the front fret by hooking the support lugs at each end over the slotted front plate on
the burner (if using a Straxgas fret), or place an alternative front fret in front of the
burner.
Note: If a fret from another manufacturer is being used, it must comply with the minimum free
area requirements shown in Fig. 2.
Lighting the fire
The appliance Data Badge is positioned in front of the burner behind the fret and carries the
control knob positions (Fig. 6 or 7, depending on version). The full lighting procedure is as
follows:
1. Push control knob in as far as possible on gas control.
2. Turn knob anticlockwise until a click is heard. The knob will stop at the ignition
position and a spark should be seen at the tip of the ignition probe. At the same time
the pilot flame should light. KEEP THE KNOB PRESSED IN FOR 10 SECONDS. If
the pilot should fail to light, turn the control knob clockwise to the 'off' position, wait 3
minutes and repeat the procedure.
3. When the pilot flame is alight the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly.
Turn the knob fully anticlockwise to the high position. The pilot flame will then ignite
the main fire.
4. The height of the flames can be adjusted by turning the control knob between the low
and high positions. Note that the knob 'latches' in position at either end of this
movement and must be pushed in slightly before it can be turned.
5. With a natural gas burner the appearance of the flames can be altered by means of
the air adjustment lever positioned to the right of the control knob. Moving the lever
up will admit more air and produce a 'coke fire' effect. Moving it down will close off
some of the air and simulate a 'coal fire' with flickering flames.
6. To turn the fire off, depress the knob slightly and turn it to the pilot position.
7. To completely extinguish the fire depress the knob slightly and turn to the 'Off'
position.
