Trouble-Shooting - Jøtul GF 3 BF2 Instrucciones Para Instalación

Lighting the main burner
Turn the gas control knob to «ON» (picture of big flame).
When the pilot flame will not remain lit
• If the pilot flame does not remain lit after several attempts, turn
the gas control knob (1) to «OFF» and call for assistance.
Note! When the stove is used for the first time, condensation
may form in the fire box. Some smoke may also appear from
the during the initial hours, due to the burning off of paint and
lubrication used in the production process. See section Odours
when using the stove for the first time.
9.3 Adjusting heat emission
Make sure the the stove has been running for at least 45 minutes
before adjusting the temperature.
• To adjust the temperature, use the knob on the left
(fig. 7-2). The knob has a scale from min. to max.
• Turn the knob to desired temperature/heat emission.
Turning off the stove
In order to fully extinguish the stove, push in the gas control knob
(fig. 7-1) a little and turn clockwise to «OFF». Do not use force.

10.0 Trouble-shooting

10.1 When no spark is generated at the
pilot head (fig. 10)
It is uncommon for the spark ignitor to fail, unless it has
mechanical damage. If the spark is not conducted forward, it
could be the result of a break in the electrical circuit leading
up to the pilot head. The spark is «small» or weak if there is too
much resistance from a bent wire, or if corrosion appears at the
electrode (A) or the pilot head (B). This could result in insufficient
heat to light the gas. Inspect the pilot burner by looking for
damage to the individual parts. Check for damaged wires or
wires crushed between plate sections of the stove and check
for loose connections.
Follow the trouble-shooting procedure below when no sparks
are generated at the pilot head:
• Make sure the spark gap between electrode (A) and pilot head
(B) is smaller than or equal to 3.2 mm.
• If the electrode is not damaged or loose, check the wire from
the electrode to the spark ignitor mounted on the gas valve.
• Make sure the insulated wire is intact and without cracks and
properly connected between the valve and electrode (A).
• If not: properly fasten the insulated wire to establish a
connection between the spark ignitor and the electrode.
Replace if the wire is damaged or cracked.
• Make sure the ceramic insulation (C) is intact and without
cracks.
• If not: Replace the electrode.
10.2 Gas pressure
Correct gas pressure is important: See section about gas pressure
under gas installation. The gas pressure before the valve and the
gas pressure from the valve to the main burner and pilot burner,
are equally important. These parameters may be the cause of
various problems with the stove , for example:
If the gas pressure is too low it will cause:
• Low pilot flame.
• Insufficient production of electricity at thermocouple.
• Poor flame pattern.
If the gas pressure is too high it will cause:
Extreme cases where the valve is damaged when the pressure
rises above 60 mbar. This is usually the result of faulty installation
or lack of a gas regulator on the gas tank or cylinder. High
gas pressure may also cause an abnormally large pilot flame,
which can overheat the thermopile and thermocouple, and
further cause a shutoff of the valve due to insufficient millivolt
production. Problems involving high flames and soot indicate
that the air volume is too small in relation to the gas volume.
Checking the gas pressure before the valve will uncover faults in
the gas supply at the valve or from the tank/cylinder.
If the gas pressure to the valve is correct, the fault must be found
after the valve. A measurement performed with a manometer
(fig. 8) will help you to swiftly uncover and eliminate sources
of errors.
As mentioned above, blocked or poor gas supply may lead to
faulty combustion. Make sure all gas tubes are dirt-free, as a small
dust particle can obstruct the pilot jet. Components must remain
free of dirt during installation of the gas supply and connection
to the stove, and when the valve is being replaced.
10.3 When there is no gas flow at the
pilot head
This is the trouble-shooting procedure for the
gas supply:
• Check if all gas connections are sealed by using leak detector
solution (avoid synthetic soaps).
• Then make sure all valves from the gas tank/cylinder are
open.
• When the pilot is to be lit for the first time with a new
installation, after a scheduled disconnection or after the
propane tank has been refilled, there will often be air in the
gas tube leading up to stove. The tube system must be cleared
of air before the pilot burner can be lit. The recommended
method for clearing air out of the tube system, is to push in
the gas control knob and turn anti-clockwise to «PILOT.
• If the pilot does not light after attempts to clear the tube system
of air, it indicates is a problem with the gas tank/cylinder or a
leak in the gas tube. Check the gas pressure as instructed in
the section Gas Installation and find out if the fault/leak is
before or after the valve on the stove. If the gas pressure at
outlet (A fig. 8) is too low or there is no gas pressure at all, the
fault or leak must be located before the valve on the stove.
If the gas pressure is OK at outlet (A), but too low at outlet
(B), then the fault or leak must be located after the valve.
· If gas tubes are dismantled, all gas tubes must be reinstalled
and checked for gas leaks prior to operating the stove.
