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 1.
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
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.
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.
3.
If low heat is required, release the button.
The button will automatically spring
up to the low heat position shown in
figure 1
(See note i below).
4.
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 1. 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 below).
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)
Please note. When first turned on the
flames will appear predominantly blue.
The coals 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.
