SECTION 4
MAINTENANCE
Servicing Notes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a GAS
SAFE registered engineer.
This is a condition of the guarantee schemes.
The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for
accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the
chimney. The oxypilot on the burner unit must also be changed as a condition of
the guarantee. The condition of the fuel-bed should be checked and
if necessary
the whole item should be replaced with a genuine replacement item.
The
burner assembly is designed to be removed as a complete unit for ease of access.
After any servicing work a gas tightness check must always be carried out.
For Diagrams refer to Section 2
4.1
Removing the burner assembly from the fire.
4.1.1
Prepare work area (lay down dust sheets etc.)
4.1.2
Remove the fascia, glass panel and log set.
4.1.3
Isolate the gas supply and remove the inlet pipe from the appliance inlet
elbow. The control lever operating cable can be seen running across
the base of the fire, below the burner. To release the cable, unscrew
the cable securing screw located in the centre of the aluminium
operating arm and release the front part of the operating arm, thereby
freeing the cable from the burner (see figure 20 below). Note the
securing screw is retained in the block to prevent it from being lost.
Release the other end of the cable by pushing the cable to the right, i.e.
into the operating arm so as to release the tension. Remove the two
retaining screws at the base of the burner unit, and the screw each side
of the burner unit. The base of the burner unit can now be pulled
forward, allowing the burner to be removed outwards and downwards
from the fire box. Remove the burner assembly from the fire.
