SECTION ONE Important Information Continued
INTRODUCTION

The FOCUS HE SLIMLINE SLIDE CONTROL incorporates a single gas control, which selects
ignition pilot, and main burner low and high settings.

The appliance incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen Depletion System, which
constantly monitors the oxygen in the room and will cause the fire to switch off if the oxygen level
reduces, for instance due to insufficient ventilation or a blocked flue. If this regularly occurs do not
attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer has checked it, the problem may not be
due to lack of air or a defective flue.

A fire front (fret) must be used with this appliance.

In GB, the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. CORGI-registered, in
accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS, The Building
Regulations (or The Building Regulations (Scotland) or The Building Regulations (Northern
Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, if appropriate.

In IE, the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in accordance with the
current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building Regulations and the
current ETCI rules for electrical installation, if appropriate.

The pilot can be left on or the pilot can be extinguished and relit each time the fire is used.

During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel
bed. This is quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive
black staining does occur it may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be
checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
