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.
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.
•
Depress the control knob and turn partially to the
1/IGN position until you feel some resistance.
•
Keep the knob depressed at this position for a few
seconds to allow gas to flow to the burner.
•
While keeping the knob depressed, turn to the 1/IGN
position. While turning, a spark should light the
pilot.
•
Keep the knob depressed at the 1/IGN position for a
further 10 seconds then release it. The centre section
of the coal will be alight at this position.
•
Depress the control knob slightly and turn it to your
desired burner setting.
•
The control knob should be depressed slightly before turning whenever you are
changing the burner setting.
