GENERAL INFORMATION
Gas log lighters are to be used in Warmington wood fires for automatic lighting of wood logs. There are three different options to choose
from. The ‘flare’ blasts flames (and heat) onto the wood from one side, while the ‘rail burner’ and ‘tee bar rail burner’ blast heat and
flames across the central opening of the fireplace (either from the front or the back). It should be noted that the flare design is the most
robust, however the rail burner designs can be installed to suit aesthetic considerations.
Log lighters can be installed into Warmington’s indoor SI series fires, outdoor Nouveau SN series, and traditional TF series wood fires.
Due to significant differences in the design of these fireboxes, log lighter designs also vary across the series (with the exception of the rail
burner). Please ensure correct specification of the appropriate log lighter before purchase. Contact your local Warmington retailer for
assistance if required.
TO THE CUSTOMER/ HOME OWNER
Your Warmington gas appliance operates on the principle of a fire. Therefore it is important to observe the following precautions
associated with any heating appliance or open fire.
• The fire is not intended for the drying of clothing, bedding etc.
• Avoid installing this appliance near strong draughts, or near drapes/ curtains or furniture
• The use of an appropriate fireguard is recommended for the protection of young children
SAFETY
• Always use a registered gas fitter for installation and maintenance work of gas components
• Always use a registered electrician for installation and maintenance work of electrical components
• If using cylinder based gas supply, always use certified gas cylinders that have been tested and are safe to use
• Never modify your gas appliance or its settings from those specified by the manufacturer
OPERATION OF WARMINGTON GAS LOG LIGHTER
To light:
• Ensure the unit is free of obstruction and any flammable material.
• Switch on main power switch (supplied by electrician).
• Depress the pulse switch (supplied by electrician). After a few seconds, the high frequency spark electrode will operate. At the
same time the gas solenoid valve will open allowing the gas to flow to the burner. If the unit does not light it will automatically
shut down. Depress the pulse switch again if log lighter does not light initially.
• When the unit lights it will run for approx. 10mins until the logs burn by themselves. The log lighter will then shut down (unless
the timer is set differently).
To shut down:
The unit will automatically shut down in approximately 10mins. The unit is then in a stand by state, ready for restart by activating the
pulse switch.
The main power switch can be switched off to ensure that there is no accidental operation of the unit.
If the unit is required to be shut down before the unit has timed out then the main power switch can be turned off- the unit will stop and
will be electrically isolated.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Open windows and doors
• Do not light any gas appliance
• Do not use any electrical appliance or switches
• Do not use the telephone in your home
• Leave the building. Shut off the domestic gas supply valve (beside your meter)
• Call your gas supplier/gas fitter or the fire service for further advice

INSTALLATION
Important Notes:
• Install to manufacturer’s specifications
• All new installations require a permit
• Allow for gas supply to control box, ensuring control box is clear at least 0.5 metres from the heating appliance
• Allow for electrical 5 core wiring to wall switch, also from switch to main control panel unit. Consult a certified electrician for
installation of wiring.
• Control box, wiring and valve must be placed in a dry and moisture free environment because of the electronics.
• Ensure when finishing that the control box is accessible for maintenance.
• Ensure that wiring and burner head is installed in a moisture free environment and sheltered from the environment when not in use.
STAGE 1: INSTALLATION OF BURNER HEAD
• Prepare firebox for fitment of the burner head. If the firebox has been specified including the log lighter, much of the firebox
preparation work will be done in the Warmington factory. If retrofitting into an existing fire, follow these instructions.
• Even if the unit comes with the firebox the heatshield has to be prepared for the gas feed and spark/rectifier wires. It is important,
especially for the flare, that the cut is large enough so that there is no danger of damaging the wires or having the spark jump to
the heatshield edges.
• Install the burner head according to the appropriate section of this document for fire type and log lighter type.
OPTION 1A: SI/SN FLARE
PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Notes:
There is a left hand and right hand
version of the SI/SN flare. Please
ensure the correct version is on site
before installing*.
If retrofitting, the firebox may need to be
removed from the cavity to achieve the
installation.
• Bolt flare plate into firebox side using supplied M5 bolts to install
SN FIREBOX CUT PATTERN
SI FIREBOX CUT PATTERN
• If retrofitting, cut holes in firebox side as per appropriate drawing. Otherwise holes will be pre
cut by Warmington factory.
Note:

OPTION 1C: SI/SN TEE BAR RAIL BURNER
There is one size tee bar rail burner for SI and SN fires. They can be installed into fires of the 900 size and larger. For servicing, remove
the two cover plates (each of which are bolted on to the main housing with 3x M8 screws).
PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
For new installations, the burner head will come pre-mounted in the firebox. Route the gas and electrical feeds. There are rectangular
boxes on the underside of the firebox to route the feeds through, and pre-cut holes (with grommets) on the sides of the firebox.
Note: retrofitting a tee bar into SI or SN fires is not recommended, unless the fire is sent back to the Warmington factory.
OPTION 2C: TF TEE BAR RAIL BURNER
There is one size tee bar rail burner for TF fires. They can be installed into traditional fires of size 1200 and larger with tapered sides and
800 and up with straight sides. The TF tee bar is to be mounted near the back of a traditional fire, under the grate. Therefore
consideration for the brick out needs to be accounted for before installing the unit. There is a removable access plate on the top of the
housing for servicing.
For new installations:
• Plan ahead for where the tee bar will sit in relation to the brick out (especially the wings)
• Place the tee bar in its intended location. The housing will replace one (effective) brick from the base layer of bricks. Place the
provided perf duct to the side of the log lighter. The perf duct is to route the feeds to the side (under the bricks), where they can exit
out the back of the fire. The perf duct should be cut to length on site.
• Connect gas feed and electrical feeds.
• Complete installation of log lighter according to section 2 of this document. Test the unit for correct operation before completing the
brick out of the fire.
Note: retrofitting a tee bar into TF fires is not recommended.
PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION
Perf duct
Notes:
LH or RH sided gas feed should be specified on ordering. The image
here shows a right sided gas feed. The housing and pipework can be
turned around to achieve a left sided gas feed.
With the TF Tee Bar, the spark is on the same the same side as the
rectifier. The rectifier probe should be on the outer side and should
be the longer of the two probes.
Note:
View of probes is without perf cap. Spark and rectifier may be on
opposite sides as to what is shown here, however the rectifier probe
will always be the longer of the two.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Scenario 1: The pulse switch (at the wall) is depressed but no spark at the electrode
• Check that the earth wire is connected
• Check the main power is turned on
• Ensure correct wiring according to wiring diagram (wiring to switches/ electrodes) on page 10 of this document
• Ensure the gap between the electrode and the earth is approx. 6mm
• Check that the ceramic insulator on the electrode is not cracked (if so contact Warmington Auckland office for replacement)
• Check the spark electrode is not coated by soot or dust
• Check the spark electrode is not burnt out/ melted (contact Warmington Auckland office for replacement)
Scenario 2: The unit is sparking but failing to light
• Verify that the gas supply to the unit is turned on
• Check that the solenoid valve is operating correctly
• Ensure that the electrical wiring to solenoid is correct
• Ensure correct jet for gas supply (LPG/ NG)
• Ensure all wiring and electronics are in a moisture free environment
Scenario 3: The unit lights but goes out after a short time
• Check the flame rod is in the flame path
• Check the setting of the timer in the control box. Normal timer setting is 12 minutes.
• Ensure burner head, control box and wiring are dry and not installed where moisture could build up or affect the electronics.
Scenario 4: The flame burns well away from the burner head
• Check the correct jet for the gas supply (LPG/NG)
• Check the gas pressure
Scenario 5: The flame burns sooty
• Check that the aeration setting to the unit is correct. There is a cast fitting that ensures aeration of the gas before burning. On the
flares, this fitting is on the outside of the unit (under the perf). On the rail burners and tee bars, the fitting is inside the main
housing. For natural gas, this fitting should have 4 holes exposed for aeration. For LPG, 10 holes should be exposed. If a natural
gas fitting has been supplied for running LPG, the flame will burn sooty. Contact the Warmington Auckland office if the fitting
needs to be replaced.
Note: If unit is fitted with an LED, the LED will light up on a flame failure.
The time from starting to ignition is approx. 30 seconds.
A flame will conduct direct current (DC) through itself. Alternating current (AC) is supplied to the electrode, usually called a flame rod,
which is in contact with the flame. The flame conducts only the DC to the earthed burner, thus partially rectifying the current. This partial
rectification of the AC to DC creates a specific current wavelength, which is monitored by the control unit.
Only flame rectification produces the correct current wavelength. If the flame fails, or if there is any electrical fault or failure, the current
wavelength changes and the control unit operates the gas shut-off valve or system.
