Q: What should I do if there is no spark during ignition?

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, such as soot, and consult the user instructions for further guidance.

Q: How can I troubleshoot if the pilot will not stay lit or fire goes out in use?

Check for debris around the pilot assembly and the aeration hole. See the diagram in the Replacing Parts section for reference.

Q: How do I ensure the gas pressure is correct for the stove?

Check that the gas pressure is as stated on the data badge. If not, rectify the flue and connections.

Q: How do I replace the ignition lead?

If the ignition lead has become detached, replace it and retry the ignition.

Q: What should I do if the pilot does not stay alight?

Change the pilot unit or check for any damaged thermocouple leads.

Q: How can I ensure the flue is working properly?

Check for proper ventilation and ensure the flue is free from any obstructions.

Q: How do I tighten the ON/OFF switch on the stove?

Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position and follow the diagram for reference.

Q: What should I do if the system fails to produce a spark?

Consider changing the pilot unit and checking the thermocouple leads.

Q: How can I rectify flue fittings which lead to the fire?

Check and replace any damaged or loose flue fittings.

Q: How can I change the mag unit?

If necessary, change the mag unit and ensure it is functioning properly.

IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 2

NO SPARK

Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly,

(e.g. soot etc.) which could short the spark, clean the area.

Consult the users instructions, retry.
