OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which will
shut down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions.
This device is
NOT a substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame
goes out due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe which senses that the heat from the pilot flame is
correct. If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control
knob is kept depressed at the "Pilot/Ign" position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off
when hot, always
wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight.
Lighting the pilot.
The control positions are shown in figure 3.
Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition) position
marked .In this position, the electronic ignition system
should cause a series of sparks that should light the pilot.
Within four seconds of the pilot igniting, the main burner should
light at its minimum setting. If no sparks are produced to light
the pilot, the battery may need replacing. Details of battery
replacement are given further on in this guide. Until you can
obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as
described later in this section of the guide.
Keep the button at the ignition position for a further ten
seconds. This will prevent the flame sensing device from shutting off the gas while its
probe warms up as explained previously.
If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up
to the low heat position shown in figure 3. If for any reason the slider control does not
spring up, raise the slider to the off (O) position (Topmost position) and contact your

PLEASE NOTE
When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may
cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.
