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.
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that 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 that 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 held
in at the ignition 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
.
To light the fire
To get access to the control knob remove the bottom
front cover. See figure 1.
K
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the PILOT/IGN position (See figure 2). A spark
should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark
should ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen
below coal at the front left side.
K
Keep the button at the PILOT/IGN 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.
K
If the pilot does not ignite quickly repeat the
procedure.
K
If after 10 seconds pilot ignition has not occurred,
turn the control knob back to the “Off” position, wait
for 3 minutes and then repeat the ignition procedure.
