TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of BS6891.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the matrix. Rotate the coals/pebbles for good viewing. Push in and turn the control knob to
the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds.
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the
pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.
When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for approximately ten seconds.
Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait
three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure. To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burner
should light after a few seconds. To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise
to the low setting.
To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and
return to the pilot position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to
the off position and release.
SPARK FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this.
If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously
described, and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.
SETTING PRESSURE
Remove the screw from the pressure test point, situated on the main injector pipe, and attach a U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting.
The setting pressure should be in accordance with the figures stated on page 2 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve these
pressures, and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem.
If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by
the gas supplier. If the pressure is too low, then check the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is incorrect it will need
to be reset by the gas supplier.
If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. This will be
dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting or solder flashing across a joint.
FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be
suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should
resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the installer to tighten.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry out
any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a
spillage test.
The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS.
The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a
type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer.
If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match, light it,
and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run
the smoke match across the opening. All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that
spillage is occurring. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors open. Finally,
repeat with all doors open.
