5.3 OPERATING THE FIRE - SLIDE CONTROL MODELS

The controls comprise a control lever, to turn the fire on and off and adjust the gas
rate. The control lever is located at the top right hand side of the fire. Depressing
the control lever fully operates the igniter and lights the pilot flame and ignition rate
gas. Once the pilot is established raising the lever allows medium and finally high
gas settings. The fire is turned off when the control lever is fully raised.
To light the fire proceed as follows :-
5.3.1 Depress the control lever fully downwards to the position marked
"Z". Hold down the control lever for a few seconds to allow the gas
to reach the pilot.
5.3.2 The fire will then begin its ignition sequence. If the pilot does not
light, continue to press the control lever until ignition occurs. The
pilot flame can be seen by looking underneath the front ceramic rail,
above the burner heat shield, at the front left hand side of the fuel.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control lever down for 5-
10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, before releasing
the lever apply one firm downwards push to ensure that the f.s.d.
valve is fully latched, if the pilot goes out when the control lever is
released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, firstly check the operation of the
1.5V battery and if necessary replace with a 'AA' size alkaline battery.
It is important that only an alkaline battery is used, otherwise premature
battery failure and leakage may result. If the appliance still fails to light the fire
can be lit as follows :-
Depress the control lever fully downwards to the position marked "Z". Hold in
position for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit
taper or spill between the front ceramic and burner heat shield. This will light the
pilot flame and low rate gas. When the pilot has lit, continue to depress the control
lever in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up before releasing the
control lever apply one firm downwards push to ensure that the f.s.d. valve is fully
latched.
5.3.3 After lighting, move control lever up to the high position and the
main burner will light. It is recommended that for the most efficient
performance the fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with
the control lever set to high.
5.3.4 The gas control can be moved from the High to Low position to give
the desired heat output.
5.3.5 To turn the fire off, FULLY raise the control lever to the OFF
position.
