Lighting Instructions
Eurosit Gas Control (Old Style)
1. Ensure the gas control knob is in the “●” position (the off
position).
2. Wait five (5) minutes so any build up of gas can escape.
3. Depress and turn the gas control knob to the “ ” position (the
pilot position).
4. Depress the knob fully (until the “ ” disappears below the
housing) and after thirty (30) seconds, whilst keeping the gas
control knob depressed, press the igniter button several times to
ignite the pilot flame.
Keep face clear of the combustion chamber opening while pressing the
igniter.
5. Keep the knob depressed for twenty (20) seconds after the pilot flame lights.
6. Release the gas control knob and check if the pilot is still alight. The pilot can be
checked by looking through the large opening below the gas control.
7. If the pilot has failed to light or has not remained alight, turn the gas control knob to the
“●” position (off position). 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 gas control knob released, slightly
depress the gas control knob and turn it anticlockwise to one of the numbered settings.
A setting of “6” is recommended; this will give a water temperature of about 60ºC.
9. Turn the gas control knob to a higher number for higher water temperatures or to a
lower number for lower water temperatures.
10. Replace the access cover (External models only).
11. If the main burner does not light at the selected setting, the water may already be at
the selected temperature.
NEVER press the igniter button when the gas control knob is not in the “ ”
position (pilot position).
