Igniter sparks but pilot does not light • No gas to
Pilot, check the gas line connections.
• Air not fully purged. Purge supply or wait longer.

• Blocked pilot, clean out internally.
Pilot lights but then goes out
• Severe restriction in gas supply: clear obstruction.
• Faulty thermocouple, replace pilot unit.
• Blocked pilot, clean out.
• Blocked lint gauze, clean.
• Hold control knob in for longer.
• If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or
the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE
THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY LIT.
Igniter electrode at pilot does not spark • HT lead detached,refit.
• Check the spark gap (see Section 15.0).
• Faulty piezo unit, replace.
• Debris shorting out electrode, clean.
• Spark shorting to metalwork under tray, realign HT lead.

the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE
THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY LIT.
Pilot flame shrinks when fire is on high • Poor gas flow to fire, check pressure with fire on high.
• If pressure is low, remove any restriction in pipe-work or valve.
• Check all pipe-work are adequately sized.
• Check meter pressure is adequate.
• If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or
the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications are dangerous and
can have a serious unseen effect on safety. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE
