Potterton Kingfisher CF60 problem

[dibbit]

Anyone know how to relight the pilot on a Potterton Kingfisher CF60? There is a grey knob with a flame symbol on it which I assume is what you use, but I don't have the manual. I assume I just hold the knob down to let some gas flow into the boiler (can hear the gas flowing) and then turn the knob to light the pilot. However, when I turn the knob I can't hear any kind of clicking and it just seems to be doing nothing.

There also doesn't seem to be any kind of window to see if the pilot is lit.

Boiler was working fine a few days ago, but when I turned the hotwater on yesterday, nothing happened.

Any suggestions, ideas welcome.

Usually the igniter is a separate button. You need to use both hands.

Usually you need to hold something in and then use the ignitor (on ours, also a Potterton and I think a Kingfisher) there is a large grey button you hold in and a another (black) button you press for the spark. You then need to hold in the grey button for a minute or so, before releasing it very slowly. The hold in period is to ensure the boiler identifies the pilot is lit or it will cut off the gas and turn off the pilot.

Thanks to Stuart for the solution to this, which worked fine:

CF60's have been on the go for years and I don't know how long ago yours was made but if it is the same as mine which is very old you do the following .

Turn the control knob clockwise and release.Ensure the time control is in the ON postion and that the thermostat is in a HIGH position . Press the control knob in and hold it in .Swing the pilot light flap across to expose the pilot light ( This is at the down near the foot of the boiler ). Still holding the knob in hold a flame to the pilot light until it lights and hold the knob in for a few seconds then release slowly .Check that the pilot remains lit .
