7. If removed the glass window must be put back onto the unit
prior to operating the heater.
8. Installation and repairs should be performed by a licensed
service person only, refer to back of brochure for service number.
9. For installation into a non-combustible fireplace, i.e.: masonry
or brick or into a mock fireplace, i.e. timber or plasterboard,
the chimney and base should be of sound construction and be
free from cracks and holes (to ensure that sufficient flue draught
can be generated).
NOTE: WHEN INSTALLING INTO A MOCK FIREPLACE A
MOCK FIREPLACE INSTALLATION KIT MUST BE USED.
10. The heater must be properly installed in a working chimney or
connected to a venting system. Operation of this heater, when
not connected into a working chimney or a properly installed
and maintained venting system can result in carbon monoxide
(CO) poisoning and possible death.
11. The appliance should be inspected prior to use, with regular
inspections (annually) to be made by a licensed service per-
son. It is important that circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean, dirt and lint free, for a safe and
efficient operation of the heater.
12. On first lighting your heater a smell may occur due to it’s new
condition. This is quite normal and will disappear after a few
hours use at the maximum control position.
Important:
WHEN THIS HEATER IS OPERATING, THE MESH GUARD IS HOT.
The mesh safety guard fitted to the heater conforms to AGA require-
ments.
For heaters fitted with the optional glass front it should be noted that
THE GLASS FRONT IS HOT.
For permanent protection of young children or the infirm a second-
ary guard should be placed around the heater. A secondary guard
is not provided with this heater and may be purchased by the
owner.

mode. To reset the module turn off the power supply
for 10 seconds and then turn the power on again.
3 After resetting the module • Check the internal 3.5 amp fuse in the module.

4 If the fuse is O.K. and still • Check other connections are in place.
appliance not operating • If the last checks are correct the ignition electrode
should spark at the same time as the gas control
solenoid valves open. At this point the spark
electrode will activate for up to 10 seconds maxi
mum until the flame has been established. Terminal

will be energised as soon as the flame has been
sensed.
5 Confirm spark is produced • A blue spark can be seen when the heater ignition

electrode and burner.
6 If no spark being produced • Check that spark lead is connected into module.
• Check the continuity of the HT cable.
• Check that there is no short circuit to earth and
spark gap is correct. (Refer figure 38). A positive
check is to use a jumper wire and connect one end
of the earth and hold the other end with insulated
pliers 4mm from the spark generator on the module.
If there is no spark to earth then change the module.
7 Spark is being produced • Listen for cracking sound. The spark is misdirected.

during flame presence. • Check that the sense electrode is in the flame.
• Check that appliance is earthed correctly. A check
between the earth pin on the plug and an unpainted
part of the appliance should see a resistance of
0.1 ohms.
To check the operation of the electronic (module) controller (Type 537 ABC) you will require a digital
multimeter with the functions to measure AC/DC voltage, continuity, resistance and micro-amps.
It is critical that the appliance is earthed and that the active and neutrals are not reversed.
