To light the fire.

The slide control is shown in figure 1.

1.

Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition) position

marked 

.

In this position, the electronic ignition system

should cause a series of sparks that 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
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 1 (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 below)

.

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 fuel effect pieces 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 ceramic fuel effect pieces may make some crackling noises. This is
