5. Troubleshooting Guide

Fault
If the burner will not
light in spite of the
gas shutoff valve be-
ing open and no gas
is heard escaping.
If the burner will not
light even though
there is a loud noise
of escaping gas.
If there is a smell of
gas when the burner
is alight.
6. Cleaning / Maintenance
The Bijou 90 requires no maintenance.
From time to time the burner should be cleaned.
Please observe the following cleaning instruc-
tions:
Never use water or compressed air
to rinse or blow out burners! This
could flush out / blow out the sealant
grease causing the burner to leak.
1. The maximum temperature for cleaning is
50 °C (122 ºF).
2. Do not use cleaning agents because of the
risk of chemical reaction.
3. To clean the valve only use a duster or
moist leather (must not be dripping wet)!
4. To clean the burner close the shutoff valve,
pull the hose off the burner and wipe the
burner clean with a cloth or leather. The
burner tubes can be screwed off and
cleaned separately.
5. Do not dismantle the burner!
Cause
• Central gas supply has not
been turned on / gas bottle is
empty.
• Jets are blocked or dirty.
• Strong draught in the area of
the burner.
• Incorrect type of gas or sup-
ply pressure.
• Connections are leaking.
• Burner is leaking.
Remedy
• Operational error.
• Screw off burner tubes and carefully
clean the jets with a soft cloth.
Do not screw out the jets!
• Eliminate the draught, reposition the
burner.
• Check supply pressure and type of
gas.
• Check the connections.
• If the burner leaks do not carry out
repairs yourself, send burner for
inspection.
6. Never drill out the burner jets.
7. Do not blow out the burner's inlet nozzle
with compressed air. This could blow away
the sealing grease and cause the burner to
leak.
8. The burner jets must not be screwed out
for cleaning. The burner could start to leak
and safe use is no longer guaranteed.
If the burner nozzle becomes
plugged, disassemble the tubes than
hold the burner with the nozzle fac-
ing down. Use a hair dryer or other
device generating hot air, melt the
wax plug and allow the molten wax
to completely run out.
If this method fails to clean the noz-
zle, it must be either cleaned or re-
placed by an authorized technician.
