The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. Rotate the coals or peb-
bles for good viewing. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there
for a few seconds.
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the
pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.
When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for approximately ten seconds.
Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait
three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure. To achieve the HIGH setting, push the con-
trol knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burner
should light after a few seconds. To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise
to the low setting.
To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and
return to the pilot position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. Rotate the coals or pebbles for
good viewing. 
Push the slide control knob fully downwards to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds,
until the pilot light stays on. When the pilot light has established, release the slide control knob and it
will return to the LOW flame setting.  If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before
repeating the ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, move the slide control knob upwards to the HIGH flame setting. The fire
can also be set to operate anywhere between HIGH and LOW by moving the control knob to an inter-
mediate position.
To turn the fire OFF, move the slide control knob upwards upwards fully to the position marked ‘O’.

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS).  
If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been
opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. 
The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety sys-
tem may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check any ventilation and carry out any remedial work
required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the installation is passed as safe.

Coal effect models

1. Position the combustion matrix onto the burner tray as shown in
figure 3. The front edge of the matrix should sit snugly behind the
back edge of the burner rails as shown in figure 4. Do not fit the
matrix on top of the burner rails.

2. Position the front coal strip as shown in figure 5. The rear edge of
the front coal strip should fit in front of the burner rail. Again, do not
to place on top of the burner rails. When the front coal is in position
bend up the three metal tabs at the front of the tray to retain as
shown in figure 6.
