REMOVAL OF DRESSGUARD
With the appliance cold, remove the
dressguard by disengaging the top
pin from the canopy and the bottom
pin from the reflector. Flex the
dressguard outwards to disengage
one side pin and remove. To replace
the dressguard locate one side pin in
the reflector and flex the dressguard
outwards to locate the other side pin.
Locate the bottom pin in the reflector
and the top pin on the canopy. The
guard is to prevent risk of fire or injury
from burns and should not be
permanently removed. It does not
give full protection for young children
or the infirm: in such cases we
recommend a nursery type guard
which conforms to BS 6539.
TO FIT A NEW RADIANT
PLAQUE
Remove the dressguard. Lift the
radiant up until its base is clear of the
metal lip, pull the base forward over
the lip and lower the radiant out of the
frame. Fit the new radiant by putting
the top of the radiant in position, lifting
the radiant over the metal lip and then
lowering onto its support at the back
bottom edge of the radiant. Check
that the new radiant lines up with the
existing radiants to ensure that it has
been fitted correctly. The lower front
edge should be flush against the
radiant support rail.
IMPORTANT: Radiant plaques
suitable for use with A.S.D.
equipped fires must be used.
These are Baxi Part No. 237851.
Radiant plaques for older models
of the fire (Part No. 043025) must
not be used as they prevent correct
operation of the A.S.D.
IGNITION WITH A MATCH
Ensure that the fire is cold.
Apply a lighted taper or match to
either of the centre two radiants. Push
in and turn the fire control knob anti-
clockwise to the positive stop at
position “ 1” and the burner and pilot
should light. Continue to hold in the
control knob for a further 15 seconds.
Release slowly and the burner and
pilot should stay alight.
CAUTION -
If the burner does not light
or stay alight, or if the flame goes out for
any reason, turn the control knob to the
OFF position ( ) and wait for 3 minutes
before attempting to light the burner.
CLEANING THE FIRE
Ensure that the fire is cold. The painted
panels and metalwork should be wiped
with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly
with a lint-free cloth. The chromed
reflector should be cleaned occasionally
with a good quality metal polish. The side
panels may be cleaned occasionally with
furniture polish.
SURROUND OR WALL FINISH
The surround or wall finish must have a
flat vertical area centrally placed about
the opening.
If a surround is fitted, any gaps between it
and the wall must be sealed and it must
have a rating of 100° C or higher.
PILOT / A.S.D.
Both the boiler and firefront are fitted with
a pilot light that also acts as an
Atmospheric Sensing Device. This means
that in the event of the flow of gases out
of the flue being interrupted, the pilots will
extinguish and shut the fire and boiler
down. If this occurs persistently your
Service Engineer should be contacted
immediately.
Renewal firefronts are fitted with an
Atmospheric Sensing Device (A.S.D.).
If they are installed in conjunction with
a boiler NOT fitted with an A.S.D. (i.e.
401, 552, 45/3 & 57/3), under adverse
flue conditions the boiler WILL NOT
shut down.
It is important that the appliance is
regularly serviced to ensure correct
operation of the Atmospheric Sensing
Device.
