installer. Do not use the fire until the problem has been rectified.
For a higher heat level slide the button upwards. The burner flames and heat
output will gradually increase until the button reaches the high heat position shown in
figure 3. When the button reaches the high heat position you will feel a check to its
movement. Do not slide the button above the high heat position unless you want to
turn the fire off (See note i).
Note
i. If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. If the
flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
ii. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The ceramic fuel
effect will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after approximately
ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer time.
iii. The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during the
first 20 - 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the control to its highest
setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during
previous operations.
iv. If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between
settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during
operation.
Lighting with a taper.
(See figure 4).
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark,
the pilot can be lit by a taper or long spill. Insert the
taper or spill through the lower left hand opening in
the front of the fuel effect bed.

Follow the section ‘Lighting the pilot’ as described
previously.
