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 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

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.

Depending on the fascia fitted to the fire, after lighting the fire it is usual to have a

light coating of condensation form on the upper surface of the fascia and the area

immediately above this. This should disappear in approximately five minutes and is

no cause for concern.
