TURNING YOUR RAYBURN OFF

During very cold weather, in an otherwise unheated house, consideration should be given to leaving the boiler on a low setting, to prevent freezing of the water system.

  • To extinguish the pilot light as well, twist the control knob 'A' until it clicks and turn the boiler thermostat to OFF
  • When the cooker is not required for a short period of time, the pilot should be left alight. Just turn the cooker thermostat knob to the OFF position.
  • To also extinguish the cooker burner pilot during longer periods, turn OFF the pilot cock 'E'
  • If neither burner is required for a long period, also turn OFF cock 'C'
