Checking For Gas Leaks; Checking The Flame Appearance; Maintenance And Upkeep; Testing And Cleaning - Planika Faro KF 22 Installation Et Manuel D'utilisation

5.1 Checking for gas leaks.

•
Check if all connections are airtight.
•
To do that apply all connections with soapy water (or water with another foamy substance) or with a
professional spray for leak detection.
•
If air-bubbles are present that means the connection has a leak.
•
Remove the leaks in the identified spaces.
•
Check for leaks once again.
•
After the inspection dry the inspected connections.
•
The device may only be used again after all leaks are removed.
•
If the problem happens again please contact the dealer.

5.2 Checking the flame appearance.

•
Burn the FARO on max flame height and check the appearance of the flame.
•
The flame should be evenly placed on the whole surface of the main burner.
•
If visible gaps are present or there are substantial differences in flame height turn off the fireplace and after
the device is cooled adjust the placement of decorative stones in such a way for them to be evenly placed on
the whole surface of the main burner.
•
Turn on the fireplace and check the appearance of the flame once again.

6. MAINTENANCE AND UPKEEP

We recommend cleaning the ignitor, thermocouple and the main burner before the device is started again after its
been removed from storage during the winter period.

Testing and cleaning

Please check and clean if necessary:
•
The main burner - if necessary, remove broken parts of stones and the existing dust.
•
Thermocouple (if necessary, remove the existing sediment). In the event of visible damage contact your dealer.
•
Igniter - gap between igniter and the burner should not be bigger than 5 mm.
•
Glass shield – check for dirt smudges or possible scratches or cracks. If cracks are present replace the glass screen
for a new one. To conduct this contact your dealer.
•
Gas linkage and pressure regulator (in case their expiry date is invalid replace these ancillaries for new ones).
•
If you encountered problems with the regulator, gas linkage, burner or regulation valves do not try to fix these
parts. Contact a sales person, an authorised service or an importer in order to acquire spare parts. To ensure the
device is working efficiently use only original spare parts.
