4. Depress the knob fully (until
disappears below housing) and after
thirty (30) seconds, whilst keeping
the knob depressed, repeatedly
press the igniter button (for up to 40
seconds) until the pilot flame ignites.
Note: It is not possible to depress
the knob fully if the gas control has
activated its safety shut-off feature.
In this case, wait 60 seconds for the
gas control to reset.
5. Keep the knob depressed for
twenty (20) seconds after the pilot
flame lights. The pilot flame can
be observed if a mirror is placed
directly below the pilot assembly.
6. Release the knob and check if the
pilot is still alight.
7. If pilot has failed to light or has not
remained alight, turn gas control
knob to "•" (off). Wait five (5)
minutes for the escape of unburnt
gas, then begin again at step 3.
8. When the pilot flame remains alight
with the knob released, turn the
knob anticlockwise to one of the
number settings. A setting of "6" is
recommended and this will give a
water temperature of about 60ºC.
