Problem
Remedy
Pilot light will not light
when ignition button is
pressed.
Check that the lighting instructions are being followed.
Check that the spark is jumping between the electrode and the
pilot head. If not, check for debris around the electrode,
condition of the wiring and any possible short circuit.
Check that the gas is passing through the pilot injector. If not,
check pipe, injector and tap for possible blockage and rectify.
Purge the system.
Pilot light ignites, but
will not establish after
holding the tap knob in
for ten seconds.
Ensure that the pilot flame is impinging on the thermocouple
probe.
Check that the thermocouple buts are tight on both the tap and
the pilot unit assembly.
If steps 1) and 2) do not cure the problem it is likely that the
thermocouple is faulty. Remove and replace.
Fire operates well, but
‘pops’.
Popping is usually caused by the coals being placed to closely
together. Ensure that the coal arrangement instructions given
in this manual have been followed precisely.
If the injector has been removed or disturbed during the
installation, ensure that the compression joint has been
assembled correctly and is gas tight.
Excessive sooting.
Chart continued on next
page
A small amount of sooting can occur on any fire of this type,
especially those operating on LPG.
Excessive sooting can be caused by incorrect arrangement of
the coals. Ensure that the coal arrangement instructions given
in this manual have been followed precisely.
The position of the injector is set in the factory, but if this has
been disturbed during installation, then it should be reset. The
correct position is when the injector points directly down the
centre of the venturi. A blue flame with yellow tips should be
produced in this position.
Check the flue pull. A ‘lazy’ chimney will not exhaust all of
the soot particles from the burner.
Prolonged use of the minimum aeration setting on models with
adjustable aeration. Return to the full aeration setting after
cleaning.
