Maintenance; Removal Of The Burner Assembly - Flavel Caress Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

Servicing Notes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI
registered engineer. This is a condition of the Flavel guarantee schemes.
The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for
accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the
chimney.
The condition of the coals should be checked and if necessary the whole set
should be replaced with a genuine replacement set.
The burner assembly is designed to be removed as a complete unit for ease of
access. After any servicing work a gas tightness check must always be
carried out.

Removal of the burner assembly

4.1.1 Prepare the work area (lay down dust sheets etc,)
4.1.2 Lift the fender and ash pan cover out of the way and put them in a safe
location. Remove all of the loose coals and front ceramic rail. Remove
the trim. Unscrew the two pozi-drive fixing screws which secure the
burner heat shield and remove it from the fire.
4.1.3 Isolate the gas supply and remove the inlet pipe from the appliance inlet
elbow. To allow burner removal, the control lever operating cable must
be removed. The control lever operating cable can be seen running
across the base of the fire, below the burner. To release the cable,
unscrew the cable securing screw located in the centre of the aluminium
operating arm and pull the cable out from its fixing hole. Release the
other end of the cable by pushing the cable towards the right i.e. into
the operating arm so as to release the tension. Pull the cable nipple out
of the retaining hole and remove the cable through the slot in the
operating arm. Remove the two retaining screws at the base of the
burner unit, and the screw each side of the burner unit. The base of the
burner unit can now be pulled forward, allowing the burner to be
removed from the fire box. Remove the burner assembly from the fire.
4.1.4 Refit the burner assembly to the firebox by carefully pushing the bottom
of the burner back into position. Secure using the two screws into the
side frame of the firebox, and two screws into the base.
