Operating The Fire (Manual Control Models) - Flavel Windsor Installation, Maintenance & User Instructions

5.2 OPERATING THE FIRE - MANUAL CONTROL MODELS
a) 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:-
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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)
e) 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.
f) 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.
Please Note : The life span of the batteries in the burner unit is dependent
upon use and therefore the battery life will vary accordingly. If the burner
unit fails to operate on slide, remote or electronic fire control models, please
check the 1 off AA battery in slide control models or 6 off AA batteries in
remote and electronic fire control model before calling the service centre for
engineer assistance. Service calls as a result of flat batteries are chargeable.
