Lighting & Controlling The Fire - Nu-Flame Vitesse H.E. Use, Installation & Servicing Instructions

2. - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE
General
The fire is available with 4 Control Options: a Manual Control (Fire is lit and adjusted manually), a side Trim fitted 2 Button High
Level Control (Fire when lit can be controlled with the Push Buttons), a side Trim fitted 3 Button High Level Control (Fire can be lit and
controlled with the Push Buttons) or Thermatronic Radio Frequency Electronic Control System (Fire is lit & operated with a Handset).
2.1 - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE - MANUAL CONTROL
Remove the Ash Pan to get access to the Control Knob used to operate the Fire.
a. Switching On/Ignition. Depress the control knob & turn counter clockwise. Gas will flow to the Pilot Burner (Pilot Burner is
visible looking down through the glass at the left side), the Piezo Igniter will give off first one, then, as you turn, a second high
voltage spark & the Pilot Burner will Light. (More than one attempt may have to be made on first lighting.)
Keep the Control Knob depressed for approximately 10 seconds to heat up the Thermocouple.
Turn the Control Knob fully counter clockwise to release gas to the Main Burner.
b. Control of Gas Flow. Turning the Control
Knob clockwise reduces the gas flow from
Maximum to the Pre-Set Minimum Setting.
Turning between Maximum & Minimum does not
actuate the Piezo Igniter. The Control Valve can
only be set on the Pilot by depressing the control
knob & turning it to the pre-selected pilot position.
c. Switching Off. Press the Control Knob in at the Pilot Position & turn Clockwise to Off.
Note - For manually controlled fires a black cover plate is supplied to cover some of the pipe work and associated fittings under the
burner tray. This is freestanding and is for cosmetic purposes only; it need not be used If preferred. The controls can be operated
with the cover in place (see photos on previous page).
2.2 - LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE - 2 BUTTON HIGH LEVEL CONTROL
Requires Pilot Ignition First.
The side trim positioned High Level Control System is a battery operated gas fire control system that uses push buttons linked to a
main control at the base of the fire. This control system is used with an oxypilot and has all the safety features required by law and CE
approval.
Once the fire is lit by operating the Control behind the Ash Pan Cover the settings can be controlled by the 2 Push Buttons on the
upper right side of the Trim.
Using the System
Remove the Ash Pan Cover to get access to the Control Knob used to operate the Fire.
a. Switching On/Ignition. Depress the right control knob & turn counter clockwise. Gas will flow to the Pilot Burner
(Pilot Burner is visible looking through the fender, under the flue bed, at the front right hand corner), the integral Piezo
Igniter will also give off a high voltage spark & the Pilot Burner will Light. (More than one attempt may have to be made
on first lighting.)
Keep the Control Knob depressed for approximately 10 seconds to heat up the Thermocouple.
Turn the Control Knob fully counter clockwise to release gas to the Main Burner.
b. Control of Gas Flow Using the Side Trim Push Buttons. Press the lowest button to gradually reduce the gas flow
from Maximum to the Pre-Set Minimum Setting, you will hear the motor turning the control. Keeping the Lower Button
depressed will eventually turn the main burner off leaving the pilot alight.
To relight the main burner or increase the heat setting from low, press the Upper Button to achieve settings between
low and high. When the fire has reached high the control under the fire will click repeatedly, release the button.
c. Switching Off. Remove the Ash Pan Cover and turn the right Control Knob Clockwise to Off.
d. Battery Replacement . The Batteries should be replaced every season, you will notice they need changing as
gradually the Push Buttons cease to operate the Control.
e. Changing the Batteries. Remove the Ash Pan Cover and you will find the Battery Box on the left hand side.
Pull towards the front taking care not to strain the connecting wire. Using a small screw driver remove the screw, slide
off the cover and take out the Batteries. Replace with 4 x AA good quality alkaline batteries, operate the Push Buttons
to check the Batteries are fitted correctly.
Note: Only Change The Batteries When The Fire Is Cold
