MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
GENERAL
A.REMOVAL OF DEBRIS or SOOT DEPOSIT
Allow the appliance to cool for two to three hours before removing all of the coals and ceramic blocks for cleaning purposes.
Once all the ceramics are removed from the fire bed check that no debris is located in the burner slots. If any debris is
present it may easily be removed by using a small piece of thin cardboard to ease out any foreign matter. Be sure to remove
the cardboard after use. To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation
and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around
the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not
broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as
"hazardous waste" and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing
is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating
or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. Any sooty deposit on the thermocouple
probe can be cleaned off using a non-fluffy cloth.
* DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS *
B.SERVICING COMPONENTS BELOW THE BURNER ASSEMBLY
Remove coals, coal support and front simulated coal. To gain access to components below the burner assembly it has to be
removed from the surround by disconnecting the gas supply at the inlet elbow and unscrewing the two screws at the base of
the fascia panel.
i) TO CLEAN OR REPLACE THE INJECTOR: Unscrew the compression nut connecting the gas supply to the elbow
injector while supporting the injector. This is to prevent distortion of the framework, unscrew and remove the gas supply
tube from the gas control valve, hold the injector lock nut with a spanner and rotate the injector. Replace in reverse order.
ii) TO REPLACE THE GAS CONTROL / FSD: Disconnect the three gas pipes and the thermocouple from the control. .
Pull the control knob from the spindle; undo the two screws securing the control bracket to the main assembly. The tap may
now be withdrawn. Replace in the reverse order.
iii) TO REPLACE THE OXY-PILOT ASSEMBLY: (including electrode and thermocouple): THE PART MUST ONLY
BE THE MANUFACTURER ?S SUPPLIED ITEM NO ADJUSTMENT OR ALTERATION MAY BE MADE OR THE
PILOT SYSTEM OVER-RIDDEN. The two securing screws are accessed through the front of the control panel. Undo the
pipe at the inlet of the pilot assembly and undo the thermocouple connection at the back of the tap. Withdraw the pilot
assembly. Clean off any lint or fluff taking care to avoid damage. The individual parts cannot be changed separately as the
assembly is precision built. Reassemble in reverse order. It is advisable to checker joints for leaks prior to refitting the burn
unit into position, the spark gap is shown in figure 8.
