3. Open flap B.
4. Keep the flame failure device knob (A) pressed in for approximately 5 seconds
to allow gas to flow to the burner.
5. Strike a match and insert into flap hole (B). W hile the flame is burning press
and hold the flame failure device for a further 10 seconds. The burner will now
burn with a blue flame.
6. If the flame goes out, repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 until the flame stays alight.
7.
The appliance should be left running for a minimum of 12 hours
before being loaded with products.
8. To terminate the gas operation turn off the shut-off valve on the gas bottle or
gas installation.
USERS NOTE:
The gas safety valve knob (A) should never be depressed for periods
longer than 5 seconds with the burner unlit as this can cause a potentially dangerous build-
up of unburnt gas. If the burner does not ignite, allow sufficient time for any unburnt gas to
disperse, and then repeat the ignition steps.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE APPLI ANCE F AILS TO WORK:
Check the following points before calling for service:
1. That the instructions for starting the appliance have been followed.
2. The appliance is level.
3. If it is possible to start the appliance on an alternative energy sources.
4. If the appliance fails to work on gas, check:
a) That the gas bottle is not empty.
b) That the regulator is not faulty.
c) If another appliance is connected to the same supply, check if it works
properly.
5. If the appliance fails to work on 230V (Mains Electricity), check:
a) That the 230V supply is connected to the unit.
b) That there are no loose connections.
c) That the heating element has not burnt out.
d) Check if electric supply is on by feeling if hot air comes out of the top of the
flue (chimney. This will take about 1 hour after switching on).
IF THE APPLI ANCE IS NOT COLD ENOUGH IT MAY BE BECAUSE:
1. The ventilation of the absorption unit is inadequate. Allow at least 100mm
around Back, sides, and 600mm above.
2. The evaporator is frosted up – see Defrosting page 7.
