OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The Oxysafe flame sensing and flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that 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 that 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
down 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 (Manual ignition).
The control is shown in figure 2.
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the 1/IGN position. A spark should be
generated at the pilot while turning. The spark
should ignite the pilot.
If it does not
, keeping the
knob depressed, continue to turn the knob
anticlockwise. A
second
spark should ignite the
pilot. The pilot flame can be seen through the
opening immediately below the right hand centre
radiant (See figure 3).
If the pilot does not light, turn the knob back to
‘OFF’ and try again.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition mechanism the pilot can be lit with a
long match or taper – See the next page.
When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the flame
sensing probe to warm up.

OWNER GUIDE
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.
