Operating The Fire; The Oxysafe Flame Sensing & Flue Blockage Safety System; To Light The Fire - Baxi 939 Owner's Manual

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may
cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that will shut
down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a
substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame
goes out due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe that senses that the heat from the pilot flame is correct.
If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is held
in at the ignition position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off when
hot, always wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight.

To light the fire.

Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position. A
'click' will be heard as the integral piezo operates. A flame should appear at the pilot.
Keep the control knob depressed and hold the pilot ignition position for ten seconds.
When the control knob is released the pilot
flame should remain lit. If a flame does not
appear at the pilot then turn the control knob
clockwise to the 'OFF' position and repeat the
above.
When the pilot burner is operating properly,
gradually turn the control knob anti-clockwise
to 'HIGH' position. (Depress the knob slightly
to get past the pilot ignition 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
