9.OPERATINGTHESTOVE
It is important to read these instructions thoroughly before lighting the
stove.
CURING THE PAINT
Most high temperature paints operate in the same way. They use a resin which dries at
room temperature and a silicon resin which cures at high temperatures. When the stove
is burned the dry resin burns away and the silicon cures. This transition occurs about
475° F
.
After the stove burns about four times, the entire surface which gets hot should have
cured The house needs to be fully ventilated during these initial burnings and although
the smoke is mostly Carbon Dioxide there are other components of the smoke which
make it smell bad and may irritate some people. These effects will go away after the first
few burns depending on the duration and surface temperature of each burn. The hotter
the stove gets, and the longer the duration of burning, the quicker it will cure.
PLEASE EXPLAIN TO THE CUSTOMER THESE LIGHTING AND
EXTINGUISHING PROCEDURES AND THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE STOVE
TO GIVE OFF ODOURS WHILST THE PAINT MATURES.
The York Midi Gas Stove operates with a traditional permanent pilot light.
The knob for ignition and power control is located on the lower right hand side of the
stove. The pilot light is located at the front middle of the coal matrix.
If the Flame Supervision Devise Actuating Flame (the pilot light) is extinguished either by
intention or not, no attempt should be made to re-light until 3 minutes have elapsed.
(A) IGNITING THE PERMANENT PILOT LIGHT
1. Depress control knob fully.
2. Whilst depressed, turn knob sharply 90 degrees anti-clockwise to “Pilot” setting.
Repeat until pilot light is visibly lit.
3. KEEP KNOB DEPRESSED AT THIS POINT FOR 15-20 SECONDS.
4. Upon releasing the knob, the permanent pilot light will be lit.
(B) RUNNING THE STOVE AT LOW SETTING
1. Ignite permanent pilot light as shown in A1 (above).
2. With control knob at “Pilot” setting, depress and turn in an anti-clockwise
direction to “LOW” setting.
3. Release the knob. The stove is now burning at its lowest operating output.
(C) RUNNING THE STOVE AT A HIGHER OUTPUT
1. Ignite stove to “low” setting by following instructions in A1 and B2 (above)
respectively.
2. Output can be increased, by turning the control knob progressively in an
anticlockwise direction until the desired level is achieved, up to a maximum as
shown by the “HIGH” symbol on the control panel.
