Instructions for Use
1. Important Notes
Before proceeding with use of this appliance, read these
instructions carefully. Keep them in a safe place for future
reference. Make a note of your installers name, address
and registration number for future reference. This
appliance is primarily intended for decorative purposes
and not as a main heating unit.
Gas appliances and chimneys require fresh air ventilation
to work correctly and safely. ONLY use this appliance in a
sufficiently ventilated space. Installation MUST be in
compliance with the local and national rules in force. If
in doubt seek expert local advice. Check ventilation
regularly to make sure it is clear and unobstructed.
This appliance must only be installed by a competent
person. In the UK this means a registered gas fitter ONLY.
Failure to observe this could lead to prosecution.
This appliance firebox is designed for use ONLY with the
glass panel in position. If the glass is damaged, loose or
missing, the appliance could be dangerous due to leaking
products of combustion so Do Not use in this condition.
This appliance is a gas burning solid fuel effect appliance
and as such it gets very hot in operation. No areas are
designed to be touched during operation other than the
control cover door and control knob itself. All other parts
of the appliance are 'working surfaces' and get hot as a
part of their function. Do not touch any areas other than
the intended controls and always fix a proper fireguard
in place when the presence of children, the elderly or
infirm is likely. The glass itself is not a substitute for a
fireguard and burns can occur from touching this working
surface and the metal surrounds.
2. Important Appliance Control Notes
• This appliance is fitted with an oxygen depletion
sensing pilot unit which automatically shuts off the
gas to the whole burner system if the oxygen levels
in the room drop significantly. This can be caused by
lack of ventilation or a blocked flue system which
could cause dangerously poor combustion due to
depleting oxygen levels.
• If you suspect flue gases are coming into the room,
call out your installer to check the safety of the
installation.
• If the fire shuts down for any reason, wait a few
minutes and try re-starting it. If the problem
continues, immediately call an expert engineer to
examine the installation.
• As part of the flame supervision system, the fire will
also shut down if the gas supply fails or the flames
are extinguished for any reason. The valve will fail-
safe and the appliance can be re-lit when conditions
are restored.
3. Lighting and Controlling the Fire
• From the off position, press in and turn the knob anti-
clockwise. A click will be heard from the piezo spark
generator and the gas should ignite at the pilot. If it
does not light first time, repeat until it does. When
pilot is lit hold knob in for about 10 seconds to actuate
the flame safety valve. If the pilot goes out, try again
but hold in firmly for longer.
• Release valve knob and turn fully anti-clockwise to
release gas to main burner. Once burner is lit the gas
flow may be regulated by turning between low and
high flame settings to the desired level.
• To turn back to pilot only, depress the control knob
slightly first before selecting that position.
• To switch off completely press knob slightly and turn
fully clockwise of off position.
• DO NOT relight burner for 3 minutes after switching
off from hot condition.
4. Servicing and Cleaning
• The appliance must be serviced every 12 months
minimum.
• Any debris or soot which accumulates on the burner
should be removed regularly (only when cold!).
• If local regulations demand it, the flue liner should
be cleaned as required.
• Clean the glass inside and out (only when cold!) with
a glass cleaner (or ceramic hob cleaner for stubborn
marks) regularly. Simply remove the two screws at the
bottom of the glass frame under the control cover
and pull outwards and downwards gently to release
the frame and glass. Do Not use the appliance without
the glass in place and undamaged. Failure to do this
may create a dangerous situation.
• Remove fuel effect pieces (including embers where
provided) and clean burner with vacuum cleaner.
• Re-lay fuel effect as shown in the diagrams. Do not
re-lay in any other way as this can seriously affect
operation.
• Clean paintwork and trims with a damp cloth only
when cold! Do not use abrasive or chemical cleaners.
