SAFETY
IF YOU SMELL GAS
DON’T SMOKE
EXTINGUISH ALL NAKED FLAMES
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
•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 as shown in graph 1, above the top surface of
the fireplace to the underside of any shelf made from wood or other combustible
material

•Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 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.).
•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 flames go 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 considering altering the room.
•Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the front of the fire.
•Don’t add any extra coals above the number stated in this guide. This could
cause a safety hazard.
•Don’t put paper or any other material on the fire.
•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 THE FIRE
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 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 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.
OWNER’S GUIDE

To light the fire
Depress the control
knob and rotate it
anticlockwise to the
pilot ignition position.
A ‘click’ will be heard
as the integral piezo
operates. A flame
should appear at the
pilot. Keep the control
knob depressed and
hold the pilot ignition
position for five
seconds. When the
control knob is released
the pilot flame should
remain lit. If a flame
does not appear at the
pilot then turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position and repeat the
above.
When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti-
clockwise to ‘HIGH’ position. (Depress the knob slightly to get past the pilot
ignition position). The main burner should now light.
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘HIGH’ position and turn back
(clockwise) to ‘LOW’. While turning, the burner flames should gradually become
lower but remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly to release from the
‘LOW’ position and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main
burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the control
knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.
While cooling, the coals / Pebbles may make some crackling noises. This is quite
normal.

Figure 3. Lighting with a taper
•If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure.
•If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
•Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue.
The coals / Pebbles 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.
•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 turn the control knob to
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 occasionally to change
the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form
during operation.
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.
•Turn the control knob to the ‘Pilot
ignition’ position
•Insert the taper or spill to the outer
left hand side of the front Coal /
Pebbles.
•Depress the control knob. A flame
should appear at the pilot.
•Remove the taper and keep the
control depressed for 5 seconds.
•Release the control knob and the
pilot flame should remain alight. If
it does not, repeat the above.
•Turn the control knob to the required setting.

CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool completely before attempting any cleaning.
Note that the fire will retain heat for some time after it has been turned off.
If large pieces of debris are found anywhere in the fireplace, 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, they could scratch the surface.
Coals and Pebbles
This product uses fuel effect pieces 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 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 do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner that may
blow dust back into the air.
•We suggest that you remove the coals / pebbles in the reverse order to that
shown in the fuel bed refitting instructions.
Ceramic burner
Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign matter from the solid areas of the
burner with a dry soft brush. Be careful not to brush any particles into the open
slots. Remove any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft
brush attachment. Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.
