OPERATING THE FIRE
The flame sensing device.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a device
which will automatically shut off the gas supply to the
fire if the pilot flame goes out. It will also shut off the gas
supply if the flue is blocked or if there is not enough
ventilation.
If this device starts to frequently shut off the
gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe which senses that the
heat from the pilot flame is correct. If this probe is cool,
the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control
knob is held down at the ignition position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot
or if the fire is turned off when hot, always
wait at least
three minutes before attempting to relight
.
To light and operate.
Figure 2 Pilot viewing opening
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the 1/IGN position (Figure 1). A spark should
be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should
ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through the
opening immediately below the centre radiant (Figure
2).
(If the pilot does not light, turn the control knob to OFF and try
again. In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition mechanism,
the pilot can be lit with a long match or taper as described
below.)
The control knob can then be set at your desired heat
level. The settings are:
Knob
Position
2
Centre radiant on low. Outer radiants off.
3
Centre radiant on full. Outer radiants off.
4
Centre radiant on full. Outer radiants on
low.
5
All radiants on full.
To turn off, partially depress the knob and turn
clockwise to OFF.
Match or taper lighting
If the ignition system will not light the pilot, the fire can
be lit with a long match or taper.
Depress and turn the control to the !/IGN position.
Keep the knob depressed and insert the lighted match or
taper into the pilot viewing opening (figure 2.
When the pilot has been lit, keep the control knob
depressed for approximately ten seconds to allow the
flame sensing probe to warm up and then release it.).
For your own convenience, have the heater serviced as
soon as possible.
CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting
any cleaning.
Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright
metal trims may be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried
with a soft duster. Obstinate marks can be removed
from the guard and trims using soapy water.
Never use
abrasive cleaners.
The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see
further on for how to remove the radiants.
