CHECK FULL OPERATING SEQUENCE
If the fire is turned off or the flames go out, wait at least 3 minutes before attempting to relight. A safety device in the control stops
the fire being turned back on until it is safe. If the blocked flue safety device has operated then it will not be possible to relight the
appliance until the device has cooled sufficiently.

CHECK FOR SPILLAGE

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the customer. Make this with all the ceramic coals in
position.
1.
Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2.
Light the appliance and turn the flame-height control to the ma ximum position.
3.
Leave the appliance on for 5 minutes.
Figure 13
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise towards the PILOT/IGN position (See
Figure 11). A spark should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite
the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen below the upper coal at the front left side.
Keep the button at the PILOT/IGN position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent the
flame sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe warms up.
When the pilot is alight and stable, partially depress the knob and turn to "LOW". The
pilot should then light the main burner at its low setting. There may be a delay of up to
four seconds between the pilot lighting and ignition of the gas at the main burner. This is
normal and is due to the time required to fill the main burner compartment with sufficient
gas for ignition.
When the burner is alight at its low setting, partially depress the knob and gradually turn it
anti-clockwise until the burner is at your desired level. The burner flames will gradually
increase until the knob reaches the "HIGH" position.
To turn off
To turn the main burner off but leave the pilot alight, partially depress the knob and turn to
PILOT/IGN.
To turn the fire fully off , partially depress the knob and turn to OFF.
While cooling, the coals may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.
CHECK REFERENCE PRESSURE
The burner aeration is non-adjustable. The appliance is preset to give the correct heat
input on Natural Gas at 20 mbar (8in w.g.) inlet pressure and no further adjustment is
necessary. The burner pressure should be checked at the pressure test point located to
the right hand side of the control knob (See figure 12). The pressure check should be
carried out using a calibrated pressure gauge after removing the test point screw. The
fire should be alight and at its maximum heat setting. The pressure setting should be
within the limits shown on page 2 of this manual (Appliance data). After checking the
pressure, turn off the fire, remove the pressure gauge and replace the pressure test
sealing screw. Relight the fire and test all gas joints for soundness using a suitable leak
detection fluid.
4.
Hold a lighted smoke match, in a smoke match tube, centrally 20mm below the
draught diverter outlet at the back of the stove. (See figure 13)
5.
The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is d rawn into the appliance and there
is no spillage from the edge of the down draught diverter and the area immediately
below the flue outlet.
6.
If the smoke is not drawn into the appliance, leave the appliance alight at the
maximum setting for a further ten minutes and then repeat the test.
7.
If the smoke is still not drawn into the appliance, turn off the appliance and allow
to cool. Check the flue installation and clearance of the draught diverter from the rear
surface. If no solution can be found, turn off the appliance and disconnect it.
Advise the customer of the problem and stress that the appliance must not be used
until the problem is solved. If necessary seek expert advice.
8.
If the above test is satisfactory, open all internal connecting doors, h atches, etc. in
the room. Keep all doors and windows that open to the outside of the building closed.
Switch on any extractor fan installed in the same room as the appliance or a connecting
room. Open all doors and other openings between the fan and the appliance. Recheck
for spillage as above The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the
appliance. If the test is not satisfactory, turn off the appliance and disconnect it.
Advise the customer of the problem and stress that the appliance must not be used
until the problem is solved.
