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.
