GAS FITTING REGULATIONS
The installation of gas appliances is covered by gas fitting regulations in most States which specify
that any gas appliance shall only be installed by authorised personnel. Installation by an
unauthorised person is an offence under these regulations and could lead to cutting off of gas
supply and prosecution.
LIGHTING
Please read carefully before attempting to light your fire for the first time.
Your fire is fitted with a safety gas tap, Piezo igniter, pilot, flame failure and oxygen depletion
device. To turn the fire on, ensure that the gas supply is on, turn the gas knob to (*),depress the
gas knob and while still depressing the knob, push the Piezo igniter button until the pilot is alight.
Keep the gas knob depressed for 20 seconds after the pilot has lit.(The first time that the unit is
used it may take longer for the pilot to light as you will have to wait for gas to fill the line). Release
the gas knob and check that the pilot stays alight. If it does not, repeat the above procedure. If the
pilot does not stay alight contact the supplier. Once the pilot is alight you may turn the gas control
knob to the high setting (7) . The fire will ignite from the pilot. If required you may now turn the gas
control knob back to the pilot setting (*). The fire will extinguish leaving only the pilot on. Take care
not to turn the pilot off as well. A slight resistance is felt before the fully off position. If the pilot is
turned off do not try to light it for about a minute as a safety interlock times until unit has cooled
down.
It is advisable that if the fire is to be left for extended periods, the gas control knob should be
turned back to the off setting. To relight, follow the procedure from the beginning.
PLEASE NOTE: do not operate your fire at the maximum setting for more than a few minutes in
the first eight hours following installation. This will avoid thermal shock to the coals and burner
surface. The new coals may give off a burnt odour during this period. Any minor surface cracking
of the burner or the coals is normal and is not a cause for concern. If you think that the burner may
have been damaged by misuse or accident at any time, please call your supplier/installer for
service. Before removal of any part of the fire, ensure that the fire is cold.
SERVICE
The appliance should require little maintenance. Periodically check that the chimney is drawing
properly and that no debris has fallen into the appliance. If the flames are very small or the pilot not
functioning, it may be due to dirt in the lines, but this must be serviced by an authorised gas fitter.
