OPERATING THE FIRE (Manual Control Only – KNVC**MN &KNVP**MN)
The controls are located behind the ashpan cover below the fender. The controls,
comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push button piezo igniter.
There is also a flame adjuster which slides from left to right on natural gas coal
models only. The left hand position gives maximum radiant heat and output
whereas the right hand position gives more flame but slightly less glow. To light the
fire proceed as follows:-
1) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to
reach the pilot.
2) Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the pilot
does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition
occurs. The pilot flame can be seen by looking at the left hand side front of
the appliance into the pilot viewing hole located in the burner heat shield.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds
to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control
knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :-
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach
the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in between the front ceramic and the burner
heat shield on the left hand side. This will light the pilot flame.
When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to
allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control knob is
released, repeat the lighting sequence.
3) After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high
position and the main burner will light. It is recommended that for most
efficient performance the fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with
the flame adjuster set to the left hand position (natural gas coal models
only) and the gas control on maximum (all models)
4) The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give
the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted (natural gas coal
models only) to give the most pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to relight the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
