LIGHTING WITH A TAPER
CLEANING AND SIMPLE MAINTENANCE
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition you can
light the fire with a taper or spill. First remove the glass
door mask which surrounds the glass window by lifting
it up slightly and pulling it forward bottom first. Now
remove the window as detailed below.
Light your taper or spill and depress and turn the
control knob anticlockwise to the (pilot) position.
Insert the lit taper over the central front hole of the coal
bed (inside the glass). Keep the control knob
depressed for ten seconds after the pilot has lit to
activate the flame supervision device. Replace the
window and glass door mask, before turning the fire to
any other setting.
SAFETY DEVICE
The fire is fitted with a flame supervision and Oxygen
depletion device. This will shut the fire off if the pilot
goes out for any reason . This may be caused by the
Oxygen level in the room falling below a prescribed
level due to poor flue pull etc. If the fire keeps going
out you must have it checked by a competent person
(i.e. A Gas Safe registered Engineer).
Remove the window as follows:
(a) Remove the glass door mask as detailed above.
(b) Remove the 2 domed nuts securing the glass
window.
(c) Pull the window forward at the bottom to clear the
studs then downward and outward to clear the
top clip.
After cleaning the window replace it by first pushing it
upward into the top clip then engaging the lower nuts
and front panel.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REGULARLY CLEAN THE GLASS
AND REGULAR CLEANING UNDER THE FIRE WITH A
VACUUM CLEANER IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.
It will not normally be necessary to remove the coal bed
for cleaning but if this is done only use a soft brush to
remove any powdery deposits from the coal bed. To
replace the coal bed simply insert it into the firebox
behind the raised metal front plate noting that the front
of the coal bed has six smaller holes.
Generally the fire will only need dusting. Any painted surface or metal part should be cleaned with a damp cloth only. Never use
abrasive cleaners on painted surfaces or metal parts. Any stains on the glass window can be removed with a non abrasive
cleaner (such as hob cleaner) or with any brand of plastic scourer after removing the window.
Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be removed from the fire for cleaning. Cleaning
should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or in the open air, by gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so
that you avoid inhaling the dust. We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner, which may blow dust
back into the air.
