OPERATING THE STOVE
The control is located on the right lower side of the stove in between the front and back
legs. The operation of the stove consists of a control valve with a built in piezo igniter. This
is used to ignite the stove and control the amount of gas flow required. To light the stove
proceed as follows: -
1) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. This will
ignite the pilot, if it fails, continue to hold for a few seconds to purge the gas and repeat.
2) Continue to hold-in the control knob. (The pilot flame can be seen by looking at the
lower left-hand side of the glass panel). Hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow
the thermocouple to heat up and release, the pilot will now remain lit.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the stove can be lit as follows.
Open the doors on the stove. Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the
position marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach
the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper into the hole on the burner heat shield located on the
left-hand side of the burner. This will light the pilot flame.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the
lighting sequence.
3) It is
IMPORTANT
that after lighting you
must
close the doors. Turn the control knob in
the anti-clockwise direction to the high position and the main burner will light.
4) The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give the
desired heat output.
WARNING
If the stove goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is necessary to relight the
stove, it is important to allow the stove to cool for 5-10 minutes before attempting to
re-light it.
FITTING THE REMOVEABLE HANDLE TO THE STOVE DOOR
The door handle that comes with the stove is designed to be removable to prevent
overheating during long periods of use. To use the handle, simply slide the collar into
the door handle and open the doors. When you have either opened or shut the doors,
remove the handle and store in a safe place. On Intrepid 3 models, the handle can be
secured in position using the grub screw behind the handle boss, depending on your
aesthetic preference.
The Handle, if left attached will become extremely hot in use.
Do not try to open the stove doors when the stove is in operation or without leaving
sufficient time for the handle to cool after use.
WARNING
a)
THIS APPLIANCE MUST NEVER BE OPERATED WITH THE DOORS OPEN.
b)
IF THE GLASS IS CRACKED OR MISSING THE STOVE MUST NOT BE
USED.
c)
THE STOVE IS DEEMED TO BE A WORKING SURFACE AND IS
THEREFORE HOT AND SHOULD NOT BE TOUCHED, EXCEPT FOR THE
CONTROL KNOB AND ADJACENT PANELS.
