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 hearth to any shelf

made of wood or other combustible material. Please bear this in mind if you are making

any alterations to the room.

OWNER’S GUIDE

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 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 YOUR 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 which 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 which 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.

To light the fire

The slide control is shown in figure 2.

1. Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition) position marked. ✩

In this position, the electronic ignition system should cause a series of sparks which

should light the pilot. Within four seconds of the pilot igniting, the main burner should

light at its minimum setting.

If no sparks are produced to light the pilot, the battery may need replacing. Details of

battery replacement are given further on in this manual.

Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as described

later in the instructions.

2. Keep the button at the ignition position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent the

flame-sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe warms up as explained

above.

OWNER’S GUIDE

Figure 2. The Control

3. If low heat is required, release the button.

The button will automatically spring up to the

low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note

i below).

4. For a higher heat level slide the button

upwards. The burner flames and heat output

will gradually increase until the button

reaches the high heat position shown in figure

2. When the button reaches the high heat

position you will feel a check to its

movement. Do not slide the button above

the high heat position unless you want to

turn the fire off (See note i below).

Note i) If the flames go out while setting

the control, repeat the full lighting

procedure. If the flames repeatedly

go out have the fire serviced.

ii) Please note. When first turned on

the flames will appear

predominantly blue. The coals 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.

iii) 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 slide the

control button to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits

that may have formed during previous operations.

iv) 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.

To turn the fire off

Slide the button up past the high heat position to the “O” position.

Both the main burner and the pilot should go out.

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

OWNER’S GUIDE

Figure 3. Lighting with a taper

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. Insert the taper or

spill alongside of the left side wall of

the firebox and operate the slide

control as described previously.

CLEANING

To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your fire please follow these

guidelines:

•Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for

the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning can begin.

•If any pieces of debris are found in the firebox, 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 as these will scratch the fire surface.

Coals and burner compartment walls

•This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls 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 and walls

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 which may

blow dust back into the air.

•We suggest that you remove the coals 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.
