OPERATING YOUR FIRE
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.
•
This fire is supplied with ceramic “coals” to simulate a real coal fire. After some
use, the coals may change colour. This is quite normal.
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 sliding
control button is held 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.
1.
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 on page 10.
Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire
can be lit with a taper as described on page 7.
2.
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.
