8. CONTROL AND PRESSURE CHECKS

Please note:
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.

8.1 Check control settings.

1. Make sure the slider button is at the off (O) position (Topmost position).
2. Slide the button to the bottom. This is the ignition/ low (
position to ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through a hole immediately in
front of the centre radiants. The centre radiants should ignite within 4 seconds of the
pilot igniting and will be fully on. Keep at this position for a further 10 seconds to allow
the pilot flame to stabilise.
3. Release the button. The button should automatically spring up and the centre
radiants should be fully on. If the flames go out at this stage or when checking the
rest of the setting positions, try the full lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after
two attempts, investigate the pilot unit.
4. Slide the button up to the medium (M) setting, you should feel a check to the
button movement at this position. The outer radiants should light on their low setting.
5. Slide the control button up again to the high (H) setting, you should feel a check to
the button movement at this position. The outer radiants should now be on their high
setting.
6. Slide the control button up again to off (O) position. Both pilot and all radiants
should go out. While cooling the radiants may make some crackling noises. This is
quite normal.
7. The control settings are:
