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 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
down 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
.
To light the fire.
The control is shown in figure 2.
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the 1
position. A spark should be generated
at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the
pilot.
If it does not
, keeping the knob depressed,
continue to turn the knob anticlockwise. A
second
spark should ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be
seen through the opening immediately below the right
hand centre radiant (See figure 3). If the pilot does not
light, turn the knob back to ‘OFF’ and try again.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition
mechanism the pilot can be lit with a long match or
taper – See the next page.
When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the flame
sensing probe to warm up.

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.
