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 15 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 APPLIANCE FAILS 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 APPLIANCE 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 8.
3
The gas pressure is incorrect – check the pressure regulator at the gas cylinder
or at the jet (4) of the burner. (Page 10 – Gas burner parts list).
4
If the jet (4) is blocked, remove the jet, clean with alcohol or other solvent and
blow through with compressed air. Never use a piece of wire or a pin to clean
the jet. (Page 10 – Gas burner parts list).
5
Check that you have the correct regulator for the cylinder and gas type that you
are using.
6
You have run out of gas.
7. The ambient temperature is too high.
