SAFETY
Do
have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Do
have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
Do
provide a minimum clearance of 750mm from the top surface of the hearth to any
shelf made of wood or other combustible material where the shelf is not more than
150mm deep. For a shelf deeper than 150mm, add 12.5mm to the clearance for every
25mm of additional shelf depth.(See graph1)

IF YOU SMELL GAS
DON’T SMOKE

DON’T TURN ELECTRICAL SWITCHES ON OR OFF
TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE METER
OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS TO GET RID OF THE GAS
IMMEDIATELY CALL THE GAS EMERGENCY SERVICE – SEE YOUR LOCAL TELEPHONE
DIRECTORY
Graph 1. Combustible shelf clearances
Do always use a fireguard complying with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly or infirm.
Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason.(Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire, if for any reason , the flame goes out)
Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by
heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do
provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in mind if
ever you are altering the room.
Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t
put more loose coals on the fire than the number given in this guide or use any
coals other than those authorised for this fire. Incorrect combustion could result.
Don’t put paper or other materials onto your fire.
Don’t use the fire with damaged base ceramics.
Don’t place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth
Don’t
attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE
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 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

OWNER GUIDE
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.
Figure 2.
explained above.
3.
If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note i).
4.
For a higher heat level slide the button upwards. The burner flames and heat output
will gradually increase until the button reaches the high heat position shown in figure 2.
When the button reaches the high heat position you will feel a check to its movement.
Do not slide the button above the high heat position unless you want to turn the fire off
(See note i).
Note i) If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting
procedure. If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
ii)
Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The
coals will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after approximately
ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer time.
iii)
The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during
the first 20 - 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the control button to its
highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during
previous operations.
iv)
If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to change
the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during
operation.
To turn the fire off
Slide the button up past the high heat position to the "O" position.
Both the main burner and the pilot should go
out.
While cooling, the coals may make some
crackling noises. This is quite normal.
Lighting with a taper
See figure 3.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition
spark, the pilot can be lit by a taper or long spill.
Insert the taper or spill through the lower left
hand opening in the front of the fuel effect bed
and operate the slide control as described
previously.

CLEANING
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your appliance, please follow
these guidelines:
!
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
the appliance to cool. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning can begin.
!
If any pieces of debris are found in the firebox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal Parts
! Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry.
! Do not use abrasive cleaners as these will scratch the fire surface.
Ceramic fuel effect and Rear Wall
! This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment rear wall
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin
and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling
these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
!
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the
fire.
! Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and walls
should be removed from the fire for cleaning.
!
Cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently
brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the
dust.
!
We suggest that you remove the coals in the reverse order to that shown in the fuel
bed refitting instructions.
Burner
! The burner surface can be carefully cleaned to remove any loose particles after
taking off the coals. Make sure that no particles are pushed into the burner holes.

FUEL BED REFITTING
1. Place the rear base coal in the firebox.
It should rest on the ledges at the rear
sides of the burner unit. When located
gently move the rear base coal so that it is
as far forward as possible. The amount of
movement will be negligible (See figure
4).
2. Place the front base coal in the firebox
with its bottom front locating over the
front rim of the firebox. Pull the coal
forward so that it locates immediately
behind the front rim of the
firebox. (See figure 5).The front
base coal will touch the rear base
coal as it is located.
There are two types of loose
coals. These are identified with
the letter “A” or “B” on the
underside of the coal.
There are three “A” coals and
two “B” coals.
3. Place a type “A” coal between
the front and rear base coals with
the letter “A” upright and so that
the coal is against the left side of
the firebox. See figure 6.
