If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is held
in at the ignition position. 
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off when
hot, always 

wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight

.

To light the fire.

Remove the firefront cover. Depress the control
knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot
ignition position. A ‘click’ will be heard as the
integral piezo operates. A flame should appear
at the pilot. Keep the control knob depressed
and hold the pilot ignition position for five
seconds. When the control knob is released the
pilot flame should remain lit. If a flame does
not appear at the pilot then turn the control
knob clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position and
repeat the above.

When the pilot burner is operating properly,
gradually turn the control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’ position. (Depress the knob
slightly to get past the pilot ignition position). The main burner should now light. 
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘HIGH’ position and turn back
(clockwise) to ‘LOW’. While turning, the burner flames should gradually become lower
but remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘LOW’ position
and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main burner should
extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly and turn
back (clockwise) to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.
While cooling, the ceramic fuel effect  may make some crackling noises. This is quite
normal.

If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. 

If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.

Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The

ceramic fuel effect will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after 
approximately ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat
longer time.

!

The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during the

first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply turn the control knob to its
‘HIGH’ setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous operations.

!

If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to change
