5.2 OPERATING THE FIRE - MANUAL CONTROL MODELS
5.2.1 The controls are located behind the ashpan cover which is situated
below the fret or contemporary ashpan cover. The controls,
comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push button
piezo igniter. To light the fire proceed as follows:-
5.2.2 Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked ignition rate. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to
allow the gas to reach the burner.
5.2.3 Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If
the burner does not light, continue to press the igniter button until
ignition occurs. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control
knob in for a minimum of 20 seconds to allow the thermocouple to
heat up, if the burner goes out when the control knob is released,
repeat the lighting sequence.
5.2.4 In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as
follows :- Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the
position marked ignition rate. Hold in the control knob for a few
seconds to allow the gas to reach the burner. Insert the tip of a lit
taper in below the fuelbed ceramic matrix above the thermocouple
tip. This will light the main burner at low rate (2.2kW)
5.2.5 After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to
the high position (6.5kW). It is recommended that for most efficient
performance the fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with
the gas control on maximum.
5.2.6 The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position
to give the desired heat output.
WARNING : If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it
is necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the
fire to cool for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
