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 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 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

The 

 control is shown in figure 2.

K

 

Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition) position

marked   .
In this position, the electronic ignition system should cause a
series of sparks which 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 manual. Until you can obtain a replacement battery
the fire can be lit with a taper as described later in the
instructions.

K

 

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 above.

K

 

If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to

the low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note i).
