OPERATING THE FIRE
This appliance is designed so the pilot burner runs constantly, and the remote
control handset is used to operate the main burner only. The remote control can
not
be used to light the pilot burner. The pilot burner control and main gas valve
are located behind the trim, to remove the trim, see page 13 for details.
The control valve features two control knobs, the left hand one to light the pilot,
and the right hand one to adjust the heat input to the appliance from high (7.5kW)
to low (3.5kW). Fig. 1 below shows the control valve.
Fig. 1
Lighting the Pilot
To light the pilot, press the knob in and turn it anticlockwise. (It may be necessary to hold the control knob
in for a few seconds to purge air from the pipe). Once gas is available at the pilot, by turning the control
knob further anticlockwise the piezo igniter will cause a spark at the pilot to light the pilot burner. Once the
pilot burner is lit, hold the control knob depressed for approximately 10 seconds to hold the flame supervision device in. Let the control knob go and the pilot should remain lit, if the pilot goes out repeat the lighting sequence. Turn the control knob to the large flame position, this will allow gas to the main burner section of the control valve.
Extinguishing the Pilot
The pilot flame can be extinguished by turning the left hand control knob clockwise to the position marked
This product is designed to have the pilot burner running continuously, therefore giving full operational
control via the remote handset when the pilot burner is running continuously.
Lighting the Main Burner (Manually)

No gas can enter the main burner until this control knob is turned anticlockwise. When this knob is turned
anti-clockwise, the main burner will light. The heat input can then be adjusted to any level between
