VENTILATION AND ROOM SIZE
Purpose provided ventilation of 100cm
2
is required for this appliance. An openable window or equivalent is
also required. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 4 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation fit-
ted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect per-
formance of the combustion monitoring system (ODS) system. The appliance shall not be installed within
1 metre of any existing air vent, and any new air vent shall not be installed within 1 metre of the appliance.
The requirements of other appliances operating in the space or room must be taken into consideration
when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by your GAS SAFE registered
installer. A supply of fresh air into the room is advisable to maintain temperatures within limits.
This appliance must not be installed in a bedroom or a bathroom. For Republic of Ireland, see relevant rules
in force.
The room size should be a minimum of 27m3 (e.g. 11’ x 11’ x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and
ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not
be separated by a door.
Note :
To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m
3
) divide the room volume in cubic
feet (ft3) by 35.3.
It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next
to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impu-
rities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, candle smoke etc.) exist, may cause the walls to become dis-
coloured.
This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without
some form of background heating present. If the appliance is used in a room as the sole source of heat,
then condensation may occur on colder surfaces within the room.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The control knob is marked as shown in figure 1. The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burn-
er. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK
position, and hold there for a few seconds.
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark
click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot
has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and
repeat.
When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob
depressed for approximately ten seconds. Now
release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If
the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three
minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob
in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to
the high position. The main burner should light
after a few seconds. To decrease the setting to low, turn the control knob clockwise to the LOW setting.
To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the
pilot position and release. To turn the fire off, keep the knob pressed in, return to the OFF position and
release.
COMBUSTION MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a combustion monitoring safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for
no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creat-
ing a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem and removal of the draught should resolve this.
The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. A grommet seal may also be missing
from the firebox causing abnormal draught to shut down the pilot. Call your installer to check seals are
properly fitted.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance
OFF, call in your installer to check the appliance and ventilation. Remedial work must be carried out as
required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the appliance and installation is passed as safe. If
the pilot continues to be extinguished you must call your installer to check the operation of the complete
appliance.
