15. FITTING THE CERAMIC FUEL EFFECT
The installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is supplied with the ceramic
fuel effect. It is important that the fitting guide for the ceramic fuel effect be placed
inside or attached to this guide and handed to the customer following completion of
the ‘Final review’ section.
16. OPERATING AND SPILLAGE CHECKS
16.1 Check the control settings.
With the ceramic fuel effect in position the control operation must now be fully
rechecked. Make sure that the isolating valve at the elbow is open.
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear predominantly blue.
When operating the fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which
could set off smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new
appliances. They are totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use
.
16.1.1
Lighting the burner.
1.
If closed
,
open the isolating valve at the inlet elbow.
2.
Depress the control knob and slowly rotate it anticlockwise to the ‘PILOT / IGN’
position. A 'click' will be heard as the integral piezo operates. A spark should be seen
between the electrode and pilot tip.
3.
Turn the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position. Repeat this operation until a
flame appears at the pilot. There may be a delay before the pilot lights due to air
being purged from the system. When a flame appears at the pilot keep the control
knob depressed and hold the ‘PILOT / IGN’ position for five seconds. When the
control knob is released the pilot flame should remain lit.
16.1.2
Operating the burner.
1.
When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti-
clockwise to 'HIGH' (Depress the knob slightly to get past the ‘PILOT / IGN’ position).
The main burner should now light. Depress the control knob slightly to release from
the 'HIGH' position and turn back (clockwise) to 'LOW'. While turning, the burner
flames should gradually become lower but remain alight. Depress the control knob
slightly to release from the 'LOW' position and turn back (clockwise) to the ‘PILOT /
IGN’ position.
The main burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the
control knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn ‘OFF’.
This will extinguish the pilot.
If the above checks are satisfactory, continue with the installation. If not, check the
control and ignition circuitry and components as described in the servicing section of
this guide.
While cooling the ceramic fuel effect may make some crackling noises. This is quite
normal.
