LOCAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY

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.

Have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid

fuel.

Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions

Allow a minimum clearance of 90mm from the top of the appliance case to the

underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible

materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the case to be lifted off for servicing and

also allows sufficient access to operate the control knob. For a shelf made from wood or

other combustible materials deeper than 150mm the minimum clearance must be as

shown in graph 1. Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.

Provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young

children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the

protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it

is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.)

Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971

and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.

Graph 1 Shelf clearances

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 flames go out.)

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.

Provide a minimum clearance of 50mm between the outer case sides and any

corner wall having combustible material or other combustible surface which projects

beyond the front of the fire (See figure 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you are

considering altering the room.

DON’T

Hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.

Fill in the space behind the case.

Use the fire without the dress guard being in position.

Attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to

cool completely.

Use the fire with damaged radiants.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE

The Oxysafe flame sensing & 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 knob 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

The control is shown in Figure 2.

Depress the control knob and turn

anticlockwise towards the 1/IGN position. A

spark should be generated at the pilot while

turning. The spark should ignite the pilot. If

it does not, keeping the knob depressed,

continue to turn the knob anticlockwise. A

second spark should ignite the pilot. The

pilot flame can be seen through the opening

immediately below the centre radiant – See

figure 3.

If the pilot does not light, turn the knob back

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. Control

Figure 3. Pilot flame viewing

to OFF and try again.

In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition mechanism the pilot can be lit with a

long match or taper – See the next page.

When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the

flame sensing probe to warm up.

The control knob can then be set to your preferred heat level. The settings are:

To turn off partially depress the knob and turn clockwise to off. Wait at least three

minutes before attempting to relight.

Lighting with a match or taper

Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise towards the 1/IGN position.

While keeping the knob depressed, light the pilot by inserting a long match or

taper into the pilot viewing opening (See figure 3).

When the pilot is alight, keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow

the flame sensing probe to warm up before setting to your preferred heat level.

For your own convenience, have the heater serviced as soon as possible.

CLEANING

Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning.

Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright metal trims may be cleaned with a

damp cloth and dried with a soft duster. Obstinate marks can be removed from the guard

and trims using soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners.

The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see below for how to remove the

radiants.

REPLACING THE RADIANTS

See figure 4.

Turn the fire off

and allow it to cool

before attempting to

remove the radiants.

Remove the dress

guard by pressing

down the two hooks at

the top. Tilt the guard

forward and lift out.

Lift the radiant

upward to clear the

metal retaining bar

then pull out bottom

first.

Fit the new

radiant by inserting its

top under the top lip of

the radiant box then

swing the bottom of

the radiant over and behind the retaining bar. It is important that the back face of the

radiant should rest against the rear ribs in the firebox. There will be a small gap

between the bottom front edge of the radiant and the retaining bar.

Page 9

OWNER GUIDE

Always use the

correct type of

replacement radiant.

Ask for part number

0544649 (GC No. 125

164).

Figure 4. Replacing radiant

Replace the dress guard. Locate the bottom of the dress guard in the two holes in

the bottom panel apron. Push the guard back so that the two spring projections at the top

of the guard engage in the slots under the front decorative canopy.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance

In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance

efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept

clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall

and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper

clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.

In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue

and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every

twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K., a CORGI registered installer).

We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked

annually.

Servicing

In the United Kingdom servicing can be carried out either by a Valor Service

engineer or a CORGI registered installer.

If you require your fire to be serviced, please contact British Gas or Scottish Gas

TELEPHONE 0845 950 0400 and please quote the following details which can be

found on a ‘swing’ plate located below the burner behind the bottom hearth casting

a) Model and G.C. number.

b) Serial Number (To be found on a label near the bottom of the right side of

the case.)
