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.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE

The Oxysafe flame sensing and 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 kept depressed at the “Pilot/Ign” 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.

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.

Lighting the pilot.

This fire is controlled by a 4-position gas tap mounted on the front leg of the appliance.

In addition to the “OFF” position there is a pilot light and 2 heat control settings (See

figure 2).

! Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise

towards the “Pilot/Ign” position. A spark should be

generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should

ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through the

lower left hand opening in the front of the fuel effect

bed.

! Keep the button depressed at the “Pilot/Ign” position

for a further ten seconds. This will prevent the flame-

sensing device from shutting off the gas while its probe

warms up.

! If the pilot does not ignite instantly, repeat procedure.

If after 10 seconds pilot ignition has not occurred,

turn the control knob back to the “Off” position, wait

for 3 minutes and then repeat the ignition procedure.

Lighting the Main Burner

! Once the pilot light is established, the main burner can be lit by depressing and

turning the control knob anticlockwise to the “High” position.

Selecting the heat setting.

In order to change from one setting to another depress the control knob slightly and

turn the knob to the required position. Any setting from “Low” to “High” may be

selected.

Note: 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 operate the appliance at its

“High” setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed

during previous operations. If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to

change between settings. This will help to remove any carbon deposits that may form

during operation.

Turning the fire back to pilot setting.

! Depress the control knob and turn clockwise until the pilot setting is reached.

Turning the appliance off.

! Make sure that the control knob is in the pilot position. Depress the control knob

and turn clockwise to the “Off” position.

! Wait at least three minutes before relighting.

OWNER GUIDE

Figure 2.

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.

! Follow the section ‘ Lighting the pilot’ as

described previously.

CLEANING YOUR FIRE

To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your Baxi Fires Division

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 completely. 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.

! Fascia and firefront - Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then

dry. If this does not work apply a very small amount of ‘baby oil’ to a lint free, non-

abrasive cloth and wipe over the surface. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the oil.

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.

OWNER GUIDE

Figure 3. Lighting with a taper

! We suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect pieces in the reverse order to

that shown in this guide.

Burner.

! The burner surface can be carefully cleaned to remove any loose particles after

taking off the ceramic fuel effect pieces . Make sure that no particles are pushed into the

burner holes.

CERAMIC COALS INSTALLATION

This section is for models supplied with a ‘Coal’ fuel effect only.

For ‘Pebble fuel effect’ see section headed

‘Ceramic pebble installation’.

The ceramic fuel effect may cause staining /

discolouration to decorative surfaces. It is

therefore advisable to protest decorative

surfaces.

1. Place the base coal in the firebox (See figure

4).

2. Install the fourteen loose overlay ceramic

coals as follows. The smooth surfaces of

the ceramic coals should be at the bottom

and back. Place five of the ceramic coals

along the top of the front base coal (See

figure 5). The ceramic coals should be

evenly spaced. Each ceramic coal can be

rotated to give a random effect. Placing the

ceramic coals with flat sides facing

forward will give a very uniform

appearance.

Important : The front ceramic coals

should not cover the opening slots in the

base ceramic coal. If the opening slots in

the base ceramic coal are covered by more than 2 -3 millimetres a poor flame picture

will result (See figure 6).

A gap is required between the outer left hand ceramic coal and the ceramic coal to its

right. This is for pilot viewing.

Place five loose ceramic coals on top of the first row of ceramic coals. These should

Page 9

OWNER GUIDE

Figure 4. Base coal position

Figure 5. First row of ceramic coals

be evenly spaced. Rest them on the ledges

above the slots in the base coal (See figure 7).

4. Place the remaining four ceramic coals on

top of the base ceramic coal rear (See figure

8).

CERAMIC PEBBLES INSTALLATION

This section is for models supplied with a

‘Pebble’ fuel effect only.

For ‘Coal fuel effect’ see section headed ‘Ceramic

coal installation’.

The ceramic fuel effect may cause staining /

discolouration to decorative surfaces. It is therefore

advisable to protest decorative surfaces.

1. Place the base pebble in the firebox. It should

rest on the ledges at the rear sides of the burner unit

(See figure 9).
