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 and flue blockage safety system.

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that 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 that 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
button is held down 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 and adjust the settings.

1. Slide the control button to the ignition / low (
electronic ignition system should cause a series of sparks that should light the pilot.
The pilot flame can be seen through a hole immediately in front of the centre radiants
(See the upper section of figure 3). Within four seconds of the pilot igniting, the two
centre radiants should light.
If no sparks are produced to light the pilot, the battery may need replacing. Details of
battery replacement are given further on in this guide.
Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as described
later in this section of the guide.
2. Keep the button at the ignition / low position (
will prevent the flame-sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe warms
up as explained previously.
3. Release the button. The button should automatically spring up by approximately
10mm and the centre radiants should remain fully on. If for any reason the slider
control does not spring up, raise the slider to the off (O) position and have the fire
inspected by a qualified operative.
4. Slide the button up to the medium (M) setting, you should feel a check to the
button movement at this position. The outer radiants should light on their low setting.
