Service Manual

IMPORTANT:

• 

This appliance must be serviced every 12 months.

• 

Any service operation should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and 
trained person.

• 

Gas and electricity supply MUST be isolated before any service operation is 
carried out on this appliance.

• 

This manual should be left with the appliance.

• 

DO NOT MODIFY THIS APPLIANCE.

S1 Error 

Codes

This gas fire has been designed to show error codes to help explain and identify any fault situation that 
occurs. These codes will appear on the wireless remote control in the form of a large letter “E” with a 
number beside it. Codes can normally be reset by turning the fireplace off then on again at the mains 
power wall switch.

The following table shows what each code means and possible ways to rectify the situation. In the case 
of persistent or repeated shutdown errors, action must be taken immediately to find and repair the 
fault.

Error Code

Suggestion action

Electronics Over 

Temp

• 

Excess lint and dust build-up on the front of the controller tray.

• 

Fascia may be installed incorrectly resulting in restricted air flow.

• 

The room air fan may be slowed or stalled. Remove firebox, check that 
the fan is plugged in, cleaned, and free turning.

Note: This error has a permanent lock out and will require the unit to be reset 
after the initial error (turning the power to the fire off “at the wall” then on 
again after a few seconds).

Flame Failure or 

Power Flue trip

The fire has tried to light three times and failed, causing the fire to “lockout” 
for 5 minutes.
• 

Check gas supply and check other gas appliances to see if they are af-
fected. If you have two separate propane cylinders, switch over to the full 
bottle or contact your gas supplier. You may need to retry igniting the fire 
a few times after re-establishing gas supply. 

• 

Check the flame impingement in relation to the flame rod. Ensure it is 
well enveloped in flame as per the diagram in the installation instructions. 
Ensure no small ember flakes have dropped onto the ignition electrodes 
between the burners.
