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.
1. Make sure the slider button is at the off position (At topmost position marked "O" on
the fascia).
2. Open the isolating valve on the inlet 'T' connector.
3. Slide the button to the bottom (ignition) position marked.
ignite the pilot. The burner should ignite at its lowest setting within 4 seconds of the
pilot igniting. Keep at this position for a further 10 seconds to allow the pilot flame to
stabilise.
4. Release the button. The button should automatically spring up to the low heat
position. 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.
5. Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting.
The burner should be at its maximum setting at the high heat
position shown in figure 44. You should feel a check to the
button movement at this position.
6. Slide the control button up past the high heat position to the
off ("O") position at the top of the slide slot. Both pilot and
main burner should go out. While cooling the ceramic fuel
effect may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.

15.2 Check for spillage.

A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all the ceramic fuel effect pieces and complete fascia and
1. Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance.
2. Light the appliance and set the slide control to the maximum burning position.
3. Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
