Maintenance and Servicing
GENERAL
A. REMOVAL OF DEBRIS OR SOOT DEPOSITS
Allow the appliance to cool sufficiently before removing all of the coals and firebed components for cleaning purposes. Once
all the ceramics are removed from the firebed check that no debris is located in the burner slots (both front and rear). If any
debris is present it may easily be removed by using a small piece of cardboard to ease out any foreign matter. Be sure to
remove the cardboard after use. Any sooty deposits or debris left on the coals mToay be removed by using a soft brush.
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 Sooty before eating or drinking.
deposit on the thermocouple probe can be cleaned oft using a non-fluffy cloth.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE MATERIALS
B. SERVICING COMPONENTS BELOW THE BURNER ASSEMBLY
Turn OFF the gas supply to the appliance. Remove coals, coal supports, side cheeks, burner inserts and front simulated coal.
To gain access to components below the burner assembly it has to be removed from the convector box by disconnecting the
gas supply at the inlet elbow and unscrewing the two screws at the base of the facia panel. Where the supply is fed from the
right hand side across the front of the fire it will be necessary to disconnect the supply from the isolation tap/elbow.
TO CLEAN OR REPLACE THE INJECTOR: Unscrew the compression nut connecting the gas supply to the elbow injector
while supporting the injector 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.
TO REPLACE THE GAS CONTROL (Tap/FSD): Disconnect the three gas pipes and the thermocouple from the control.
Pull off the knob and lay to one side. Undo the retaining nut at the front of the tap niting assembly to withdraw control from
the mounting bracket. Replace in reverse order.
TO REPLACE THE PIEZO IGNITER: Pull off the HT lead from the rear of the igniter, prevent the metal fixing nut from
turning, rotate the body of the igniter to unscrew and withdraw the igniter from the front. Replace in reverse order and
reconnect the HT lead.
TO REPLACE THE OXY-PILOT ASSEMBLY: The
operation of the oxy-pilot depends on the proximity of the
spark electrode and the thermocouple tip. If either of these
components are defective the assembly must be replaced by
removing the tube nut and tube from the base of the pilot and
the thermocouple from the FSD also the igniter lead and the
two M4 screws securing the bracket to the framework.
Replace in reverse order, the spark gap is shown opposite.
