INTERRUPTlON

OF

GAS

SUPPLY; If ever there is
a break in the flow of gas through the supply
system to the appliance (For example, for repair
work in the supply system either inside or outside
your property), we recommend that the window

unit

Is removed before lighting the pilot. This will

allow any air which has become trapped in the

supply piping to escape without building up in

the firebox before the pilot will light. Wait until the

pilot flame is stable before refitting the window
but refit

it

before turning the control to any

position other than pilot ignition. Details of how

to remove the window are given in the preparation

for installation section of this manual.
The vent terminal on the outside wall must be

kept

free

from obstructions. The terminal is hot

during operation and requires a guard (Part

#235)

if

it

is accessible to any person. No objects

should be placed within

2

feet (60cm) of the vent

terminal.

During extreme weather conditions ensure that

the vent outlet is

free

from ice and snow before

attempting to light.

Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the appliance and to replace

any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.

NOTE

When operating your new stove for the first time, some vapors may be released which may cause a slight odor and could
possibly set off any smoke detection alarms in the immediate vicinity. These vapors are quite normal on new appliances.
They are totally harmless

and

will disappear after a few hours use.
