TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Fire sparks but pilot does not light No gas to fire - check isolators are open.
Pipe work blockage or kink - rectify.
Air not fully purged - re-purge supply or wait longer.
Spark earthing to metal work - check gap is correct.
Blocked pilot - check and replace where necessary.
Pilot lights but then goes out Severe restriction in gas supply - clear obstruction.
Faulty thermocouple - replace pilot unit.
Blocked pilot - replace.
Blocked lint gauze - clean.
Hold control knob in for longer.
Check the control knob does not foul on the data plate.
If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the
gas supply, or the thermocouple is in need of
replacement. Modifications are dangerous and can have a
serious unseen effect on safety.
NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO
MAKE THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT.
Fire does not spark at pilot Electrode lead detached - refit.
Spark gap too large or small - reset correctly.
Faulty piezo unit - replace gas valve.
Debris shorting out electrode - clean.
Spark shorting to metalwork under tray
- realign electrode lead.
Fire runs for a time and then cuts off Check pilot has extinguished.
Ensure room sizing and ventilation are adequate
(See Section 3.1and 4.1)
Loose or faulty thermocouple - rectify.
Blocked pilot - replace.
Dirt or lint in pilot aeration hole or on the lint gauze -
clean thoroughly.
If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the
gas supply,or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Modifications are dangerous and can have a serious unseen
effect on safety.
NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO
MAKE THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT.
Pilot flame shrinks when Poor gas flow to fire - check pressure with
fire is on high fire on high.
If pressure is low - remove any restriction in
pipework or valve.
Check all isolators are adequately sized and fully open.
Check meter pressure is adequate.
If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the
gas supply, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
Modifications are dangerous and can have a serious
unseen effect on safety.
NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO
MAKE THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT.
Fire smells when first lit or in use Newness smell from brand new appliance. (See
Preliminary Notes section)
Leakage occurring - Carry out leakage test and
rectify any problems.
Low temperature sealants or combustible materials used
in incorrect positions.
