Hi,
We have a Cannon Manor B.F Gas Fire that is not staying alight. The pilot lights (although I have to change the battery every 3 weeks or so) and 15 secs should be enough time to hold the control knob down for the fire to stay alight. It doesn't! Often it can take 15 mins but yesterday I gave up after 3 hours!
We had the same problem 5 years ago and a gas engineer replaced the thermocouple but that did not solve the problem. When he put the old thermocouple back in, it worked better so we have been 'managing it' since then.
The fire has something called a 'Delayed Ignition System' which may be involved.
Anyone have experience with this fire who can help? Cannon merged with Flavel many years ago.
Thanks
Staro
