11. SERVICING AND PARTS REPLACEMENT
 Always turn off the gas supply and ensure that the appliance is
completely cool before commencing any servicing (The appliance inlet
“T” connector incorporates an isolating valve).
 It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is
disconnected and the catchment space behind the closure plate checked
and cleared of any debris. The closure plate must be resealed to the wall
after checking.
 Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
 Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the holes in the main burner.
 Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
Note: For models fitted with electronic ignition it is adviseable to remove the
battery from the electronic spark generator before continuing to service the
appliance. This will prevent accidental operation of the ignition system.
