Noisy Pilot / Fire Shut Down
This appliance is fitted with a safety device. This will operate if the
requirements of the installation are not met. If the fire is run for a period of
time and starts to become noisy or suddenly shuts down this indicates a
possible problem.
The most common fault is incorrect ventilation. The ventilation is quoted as
“free air” – it is not the size of the actual vent. Each vent has a specified
“free area”. Contact the manufacturer of the vent and ask for this figure and
check it complies with the minimum specified for the appliance.
This is a secondary heat source appliance and is supposed to be used for
short periods of time however it can also incorrect installation.
If it shuts down or is noisy - Do not use the appliance – Ask your installer to
return and confirm the following conditions are met before using the
appliance:
• Minimum Room Size
• Is the pilot shield fitted [see page 21]
• “Free Air” Wall Vent of specified size is installed in room.
• “Free Air” Wall Vent is not blocked.
• “Free Air” Wall Vent is over 1 metre away from the appliance.
• Gas pressure is within the specified limits +/- 1mBar.
• Room appliance is installed in has a window which can be opened.

on the data plate) ) is maintained at all times - “at the appliance” – see
commissioning.
The pressure must be tested “at the appliance” NOT the bottles or tank
