USEFUL TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS
1
The installation of this appliance must be carried out by a competent person, and in
accordance with the requirements of the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)
REGULATIONS.
2
As with any fire, certain components will become hot in use e.g. the decorative front fret.
Care should be exercised when using the controls of the appliance when it is hot. We
also recommend that a fireguard, conforming to BS 6539 or BS 6778, be fitted for the
protection of young children, the elderly or infirm.
3
When new, the ceramic coals may produce a slight odour, but this will completely vanish
after a few hours of use.
4
Handle coals gently. They are fragile. A soft brush can be used to clean them of any
excess soot. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should coals, pebbles or ceramics be
washed.
5
Never throw cigarette ends or other foreign matter onto the fire.
6
Never leave the house unattended, with the fire alight.
7
Check periodically that any purpose made ventilation is free from obstruction.
8
To obtain the best results from your fire, we recommend that the fire be serviced
annually.
9
These instructions are provided to assist you to operate the fire correctly and should be
kept in a safe place.
10
This appliance is intended for decorative purposes.
11
This appliance is fitted with a flue blockage device that will shut off the appliance in the
event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a substitute for an independently
mounted carbon monoxide detector.
12
During the summer, when the appliance is not in use, we recommend that it be turned on
from time to time to get the fan running and some air passing across the electronic
controls. Fires which have been left inoperative throughout the summer months may
exhibit fault conditions but these are often caused by a lack of use.
25 OPERATION OF YOUR APPLIANCE
1
It should be noted that your fire is fitted with a Flame Supervision Device which cuts off
the gas supply to your fire if for any reason the pilot light is extinguished. It also monitors
constantly the oxygen in the room. The pilot flame heats the thermocouple probe and
allows gas to flow to the burners. If due to pilot failure, the thermocouple cools, no gas
will flow to the main burner. If the fire is turned off or the flames go out, wait for AT
LEAST 3 MINUTES before attempting to relight the fire.
2
When the fire is first lit, the flames tend to be rather blue in colour. Once the core of the
fire becomes hot, the flames will become yellow and more lifelike. During this initial
warm-up period it is recommended that the control remains in the ‘MAX’ position. This
permits the fire to reach its optimum condition more quickly.

Read carefully the LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE for the relevant model in section 9 of
these instructions
