This appliance has a ceramic Fire-bed arrangement; this contains Refractory
Ceramic Fibres, which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to these materials can cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory
organs. Hence we recommend that when handling these materials the
release of dust should be kept to a minimum. During installation and
servicing we recommend that a HEPA filtered vacuum be used to remove
any dust and soot in and around the fire. If any of the ceramic fire-bed
components need to be replaced we recommend that the removed parts be
sealed in a heavy-duty polythene bag, and be labelled as RCF waste. RCF is
not “Hazardous waste” and can be disposed of at a licensed tipping site for
the disposal of industrial waste.
The appliance incorporates a permanent pilot. This is located on the front of
the burner, and must not be adjusted by the installer. This system must not
be put out of operation, and if any parts require changing, only original
manufacturer parts shall be used.
This appliance is designed to be used either Natural or LPG gas however,
each individual appliance is only capable of running off the type of gas
specified at the time of purchase. It is important to note that once a type of
gas has been specified the fire cannot run off any other type. The type of gas
that your fire is capable of burning is stated on the data information panel.
This appliance has been designed, tested and approved to meet standards
in place for product use, performance and safety. Installation of your
appliance must comply with current building regulations. It is therefore
recommend that a registered gas installer be employed for this task. The
engineer will provide you with information about the safety limits of the
installation and should fix a notice plate in a place where it can be readily
seen.
This appliance is designed as a decorative heating device and consequently
all body parts become very hot in use. Except for the control knob and
control access door, which are designed to stay cool, all other parts are
working surfaces and should not be touched.
The front of this appliance
does not give full protection for young
children, the elderly or infirm
, extra protection should be considered for
these conditions conforming to BS 6539 or BS 6778. The appliance is not
fitted with a functional integral guard. In normal use, consideration should be
given to the use of an additional guard, conforming to the standard above,
such that access to the open flame is minimised.

Pilot sparks but does not light –
No gas to fire, check isolators are open.
Pipework blockage, clean out.
Air not fully purged, repurge supply or wait longer.
Spark earthing to metal work, reset gap correctly.
Check for spilled ceramics in pilot area.
Blocked pilot, clean out internally.
Pilot lights but then goes out –
Severe restriction in gas supply, clear obstruction.
Faulty thermocouple, replace pilot unit.
Hold control knob in for longer.
Check control knob does not foul control plate.
Fire does not spark at pilot –
HT lead detached, refit.
Spark gap too large or small, reset correctly.
Faulty piezo unit, replace.
Debris shorting out electrode, clean.
Fire runs for a time and then cuts off –
Excessive room draught or flue pull, rectify.
Loose or faulty thermocouple, rectify.
TTB system in operation.
Lint in pilot aeration hole, clean thoroughly internally

Poor gas flow to fire, check pressure with fire on high.
If pressure is low, remove any restriction in pipework or valve.
Check all isolators are adequately sized and fully open.
Check meter pressure is adequate.
Lint in pilot aeration hole, clean thoroughly internally.
