ABOUT YOUR NEW FORMOSA FIRES RIVAS GAS FIRE The Formosa Fires Rivas coal effect gas fire incorporates a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation.
The fire must only be operated with a fender which meets the criteria described in the rear of this book. OPERATING THE FIRE (MANUAL CONTROL MODELS) The controls are located behind the ashpan cover which is situated behind the Ashpan / Fender. The controls, comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push button piezo igniter.
OPERATING THE FIRE (SLIDE CONTROL MODELS) The controls comprise a control lever, to turn the fire on and off and adjust the gas rate. The control lever is located at the top right hand side of the fire. Depressing the control lever fully operates the igniter and lights the pilot flame and ignition rate gas.
None of these parts must be washed or exposed to any cleaning agents or water. Any damaged parts must be replaced by contacting your dealer or telephoning Formosa Fires on the number stated on the rear cover of this book. Coals must only be replaced with a complete and genuine replacement set and the fire must never be run with the wrong number or damaged coals.
