SAFETY

IF YOU SMELL GAS

DON’T SMOKE

EXTINGUISH ALL NAKED FLAMES

DON’T TURN ELECTRICAL SWITCHES ON OR OFF

TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE METER

OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS TO GET RID OF THE GAS

IMMEDIATELY CALL THE GAS EMERGENCY SERVICE - SEE YOUR

LOCAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY

•Do have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom,

installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety

(installation & use) Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be

in accordance with all national and local regulations in force.

•Do have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for

solid fuel.

•Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions.

•Do provide a minimum clearance as shown in graph 1, above the top surface of

the fireplace to the underside of any shelf made from wood or other combustible

material

•Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 for the

protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also

recommended for the protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to

all the applicable standards, it is a heating appliance and certain parts of its

surface will become hot.).

•Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or

the flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety

device that will automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any

reason, the flames go out.).

•Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft

wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily

affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close

to a heating appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering

redecorating.

•Do provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in

mind if ever you are considering altering the room.

•Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the front of the fire.

•Don’t add any extra coals above the number stated in this guide. This could

cause a safety hazard.

•Don’t put paper or any other material on the fire.

•Don’t place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the

hearth.

•Don’t attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and

allowed to cool completely.

OPERATING THE FIRE

PLEASE NOTE

When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which

may cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the

immediate vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are

totally harmless and will disappear after a few hours use.

The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that will

shut down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is

NOT a substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.

The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot

flame goes out due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.

If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get expert advice.

This device incorporates a probe that senses that the heat from the pilot flame is

correct. If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control

knob is held in at the ignition position.

If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off

when hot, always wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight.

OWNER’S GUIDE

To light the fire

Depress the control

knob and rotate it

anticlockwise to the

pilot ignition position.

A ‘click’ will be heard

as the integral piezo

operates. A flame

should appear at the

pilot. Keep the control

knob depressed and

hold the pilot ignition

position for five

seconds. When the

control knob is released

the pilot flame should

remain lit. If a flame

does not appear at the

pilot then turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position and repeat the

above.

When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti-

clockwise to ‘HIGH’ position. (Depress the knob slightly to get past the pilot

ignition position). The main burner should now light.

Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘HIGH’ position and turn back

(clockwise) to ‘LOW’. While turning, the burner flames should gradually become

lower but remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly to release from the

‘LOW’ position and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main

burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the control

knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.

While cooling, the coals / Pebbles may make some crackling noises. This is quite

normal.

Figure 2 - Lighting the Fire.

OWNER’S GUIDE

Figure 3. Lighting with a taper

•If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure.

•If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.

•Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue.

The coals / Pebbles will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen

after approximately ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after

a somewhat longer time.

•The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during

the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply turn the control knob to

its ‘HIGH’ setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have

formed during previous operations.

•If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to change

the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form

during operation.

Lighting with a taper

See figure 3.

In the unlikely event of failure of the

ignition spark, the pilot can be lit by a

taper or long spill.

•Turn the control knob to the ‘Pilot

ignition’ position

•Insert the taper or spill to the outer

left hand side of the front Coal /

Pebbles.

•Depress the control knob. A flame

should appear at the pilot.

•Remove the taper and keep the

control depressed for 5 seconds.

•Release the control knob and the

pilot flame should remain alight. If

it does not, repeat the above.

•Turn the control knob to the required setting.

CLEANING

Turn the fire off and allow it to cool completely before attempting any cleaning.

Note that the fire will retain heat for some time after it has been turned off.

If large pieces of debris are found anywhere in the fireplace, have the chimney

inspected before further use.

Metal parts

Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. Do not use abrasive

cleaners, they could scratch the surface.

Coals and Pebbles

This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres

(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to

this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to

ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.

•Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of

the fire.

•Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be

removed from the fire for cleaning.

•Cleaning should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or in the open air by

gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid

inhaling the dust.

•We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner that may

blow dust back into the air.

•We suggest that you remove the coals / pebbles in the reverse order to that

shown in the fuel bed refitting instructions.

Ceramic burner

Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign matter from the solid areas of the

burner with a dry soft brush. Be careful not to brush any particles into the open

slots. Remove any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft

brush attachment. Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.
