FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
The appliance has a pilot which must be lit using the piezo ignition, when lighting the pilot follow
the instructions exactly.
Before lighting the appliance check for gas leaks.
Use only your hand to push in and turn the gas control knob, never use tools. If the knob will not
push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force of attempt to
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
If the controls have been underwater, immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
appliance and replace any part of the control system and fan that has been immersed in water.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. STOP! Read the safety information.
2. Push in gas control knob and turn to “PILOT”
3. NOTE: Control knob cannot be turned from “OFF” to “PILOT” unless the knob is pushed in
slightly. Do not force.
4. Light pilot burner following steps below.
5. When the control knob is set at pilot, push it all the way in and hold it in. Immediately light the
pilot using the piezo igniter. Red igniter button may need to be pressed rapidly several times.
Once the pilot has lit keep holding the control knob in for about 45 seconds. Release the knob
and it will “pop” back out, the pilot should remain lit. If pilot goes out repeat steps 1 to 5
6. Turn gas control knob to the “ON” position
7. Turn the switch on to ignite the main burner. The switch is located on the bottom right of fire.
See page 18. Select high or low fan with the fan switch which is located next to the on/off
switch on the right hand side of the bottom. (Note: The fan will turn on and off automatically
via temperature sensor in the fire box.) Time taken for the fan to turn on and off will vary
according to temperature. This feature eliminates the possibility of the Pyrotech blowing cold
air.
• After lighting the pilot, if the control knob does not “pop” out when released, stop and
immediately call your service technician.
• If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and call your
service technician.
N.B: WHEN THE CONTROL KNOB IS TURNED TO THE “OFF” POSITION IT WILL TAKE
APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS FOR THE VALVE TO RELEASE AND ALLOW YOU TO MOVE
THE KNOB. DO NOT FORCE THE KNOB.
8. To adjust the heat output of your Pyrotech, simply turn the Hi/Lo control knob to the right of
the control knob.
LIGHTING PILOT AND MAIN BURNER (STANDARD MODELS ONLY)
DO NOT CONNECT ANY EXTERNAL POWER TO THE VALVE.
The Pyrotech is fitted with a remote operated valve located in the cavity below the burner. The
valve is pre wired and completely self contained to generate its own power.
Before lighting the pilot make sure that the gas line is connected.
