14. OPERATING PROCEDURE 

Full lighting instructions are given on the next pages. 

For your safety this heater is fitted with a Flame Supervision 

Device which will shut off the gas supply if for any reason the 

pilot flames go out. This device incorporates  a fixed  probe which 

senses heat from the pilot flame. If the probe is cool the device will 

prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is held down. When 

first turned on, the decorative flames will appear predominantly 

blue. After approximately 15 minutes these flames will turn 

yellow. 

After approximately 3 hours use at the high control setting the 

fuel pieces will show areas of charcoal gray color as would real 

burning logs.

14.1. Lighting if ignition spark fails   

In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark, the heater 

can be lit by a long burning match as follows: 

Open the cast door fully to gain access to the heater. Light the 

match and insert through the opening in the black bar near the 

bottom right corner of the window.  Insert the match so that 

about 1” is inside the black bar (see figure 24). 

Open the hinged gas control access panel. 

Depress the control knob and turn to the       position.  Keep it 

depressed while lighting the pilot and for a few seconds afterwards.  

The pilot flame can be seen by looking through the gap at the 

front right corner of the logs (see figure 25).  When the pilot is 

satisfactorily alight, close the door.
