Trouble-shooting
THE GAS PILOT WILL NOT IGNITE OR STAY LIT
• Ensure the gas is turned on at the appliance and the meter.
• Ensure that the pilot injector is not obstructed or blocked and it is free from any
dust or dirt.
• Ensure that the thermocouple has not been damaged in transit. This is a very
delicate device.
• Ensure that the spark electrode is not in between the tip of the thermocouple
and pilot. This could prevent the thermocouple reaching its final temperature.
• Ensure the pilot flame is the correct size the flame should be focused on the
thermocouple probe, so that it is evenly encircled.
• Any whistling sound you hear is normally caused by dirt obstructing the pilot.
This is normally cured by carrying out the cleaning process outlined in the next
section entitled Servicing Instructions.
• If the pilot / burner lights and then extinguishes several times on first installation
there will be air in the system and it will need to be purged.
THE MAIN BURNER DOES NOT SEEM TO BURN CORRECTLTY
• Ensure there is adequate gas pressure to the appliance. The pressure can be
obtained by unscrewing the pressure test nipple and applying a suitable
pressure gauge (i.e. A MANOMETER). Be sure that the gas pressure agrees
with the identification label on your stove.
• Ensure adequate volume of gas is being used. Once the burner is lit and on
maximum, turn off all other gas appliances in the house and calculate the fuel
being burned from the gas meter.
• See that the burner is burning evenly across the whole of the mesh surface
without any coals in place.
THE MAIN BURNER WILL NOT STAY LIT OR CUTS OUT
• Ensure that the connections from the TTB to the rear of the valve assembly are
connected. If these are not connected then the burner will not light.
• Ensure the TTB sensor is correctly seated down into the holder and not pushed
up. If the TTB touches the bracket in anyway it could cause the sensor to short
circuit and the valve will not work. It is also essential that the TTB wire into the
valve is not disturbed or removed, if this wire is not making a good connection
into the valve it will simulate an error and the valve will not operate.
