6.2.2 OPERATING THE FIRE (SLIDE CONTROL MODELS)
The controls comprise a control lever, to turn the fire on and off and adjust the gas
rate. The control lever is located at the top right hand side of the fire. Depressing
the control lever fully operates the igniter and lights the pilot flame and ignition rate
gas. Once the pilot is established raising the lever allows medium and finally high
gas settings. The fire is turned off when the control lever is fully raised.
To light the fire proceed as follows:-
6.2.2.1 Depress the control lever fully downwards to the position marked
“Z”. Hold down the control lever for a few seconds to allow the gas
to reach the pilot.
6.2.2.2 The fire will then begin its ignition sequence. If the pilot does not
light, continue to press the control lever until ignition occurs. The
pilot flame can be seen by looking underneath the front ceramic rail,
above the burner heat shield, at the front left hand side of the fuel.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control lever down for 5-
10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, before releasing
the lever apply one firm downwards push to ensure that the f.s.d.
valve is fully latched, if the pilot goes out when the control lever is
released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, firstly check the operation of the
1.5V battery and if necessary replace with a ‘AA’ size alkaline battery. It is
important that only an alkaline battery is used, otherwise premature battery
failure and leakage may result. If the appliance still fails to light the fire can be
lit as follows:
Remove the fret & ashpan cover. Depress the control lever fully downwards to the
position marked “Z”. Hold in position for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach
the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in behind the front ceramic rail on the left hand
side. This will light the pilot flame and low rate gas. When the pilot has lit, continue
to depress the control lever in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat
up before releasing the control lever apply one firm downwards push to ensure
that the f.s.d. valve is fully latched.
6.2.2.2 After lighting, move control lever up to the high position and the
main burner will light. For the most efficient performance allow the
fire is to warm up for 10 minutes with the control lever set to high.
6.2.2.3 The gas control can be moved from the high to low position to give
the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted to give the
most pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
6.2.2.4 To turn the fire off, FULLY raise the control lever to the OFF
position.
