IGNITION SYSTEM FAULTS

a) If spark igniter does not light pilot, check for a spark and gas. If no spark is evident, inspect electrode to ensure ceramic is not cracked and that igniter lead is correctly located. Check insulation on lead for damage.

Having established a spark, check gas flow to pilot by lighting with a flame. If there is no gas, inspect that pilot injector is not blocked.

b) If spark ignites pilot, but goes out when knob is released, ensure FFD operates correctly by following procedure detailed in Section 3.13.

FLAME FAILURE DEVICE FAULTS

It is IMPORTANT that pilot burner is kept clean and properly adjusted. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the prevailing conditions in the kitchen.

Should FFD fail to engage, the following points should be checked. Details of access to individual components can be found in Section 3.

1. Ensure gas supply to appliance is turned ON.
2. Check pilot gas supply to ensure connecting pipes and/or pilot burner injector are not blocked.
3. Check position of pilot flame in relation to thermocouple. Flame should envelop and heat 10mm of thermocouple tip. Thermocouple tip should be at flame centre.
4. Ensure thermocouple is located firmly in the seating on pilot burner. Take care not to over-tighten retaining nut.
5. Check thermocouple connection to valve is clean and that satisfactory contact is made. The nut should be screwed (finger tight) into valve and a further sixth of a spanner turn (one spanner flat) to secure. The connection MUST NOT BE OVER-TIGHTENED, as this may cause damage to valve or thermocouple. No thread compound should be used as this is an electrical connection.
6. Press burner tap knob IN, turn to ignition setting and hold. Press igniter button fully in and release it. Check resultant spark has lit pilot burner.

If electrode fails to spark, check both electrode and igniter (see Section 3.12). If either component is faulty, pilot may be lit with a flame.

With pilot established, continue to hold tap knob IN for a further 20 seconds, then release. The pilot should now remain lit.

Should appliance fail to respond to these checks, then a replacement FFD magnet unit or thermocouple is required.
