2.3 Operating principle

 

The appliance features one-hand operation. That is

 

 

to say, the ignition is activated when the control

 

 

knob is pressed briefly.

 

 

After igniting, keep the control knob pressed for

 

 

around 5-8 seconds more because the heat sensor

 

 

that opens the gas channel has to warm up first.

 

 

The burner has a thermal protection device that

Off

 

prevents unburned gas from escaping in the open

 

position.

 

 

The total rated thermal load amounts to:

 

 

17 000 BTU (5.0 kW) referred to Hs* (gross calorific

 

 

 

value)

 

 

15 300 BTU (4.5 kW) referred to Hi (calorific value)

 

 

The specified rated load is defined by installation

 

 

of the fixed nozzles.
