The ceramic fuel bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and
sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.

OPERATING THE FIRE (MANUAL CONTROL MODELS)
The controls are located behind the controls access door. The controls, comprise a
control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push button piezo igniter. There is also
a flame adjuster which slides from left to right (coal model only). The left hand
position gives maximum radiant heat and output whereas the right hand position
gives more flame but slightly less glow. To light the fire proceed as follows:-
1)
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to
reach the pilot.
2)
Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the pilot
does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. The
pilot flame can be seen by looking at the left hand side front bottom corner of
the glass panel. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in
for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out
when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :-
Open the controls access door, depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to
the position marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the
gas to reach the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in behind the front ceramic rail on
the left hand side. This will light the pilot flame. When the pilot has lit,
continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to
heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting
sequence.
3)
After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high
position and the main burner will light. For most efficient performance the
fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with the flame adjuster set to the
left hand position and the gas control on maximum.
4)
The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give
the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted (coal model only) to
give the most pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
