• Turn ON the mains supply to the heater and
immediately press and hold both the FAN and PROG
buttons for ten seconds. The display will show ‘LC’,
and then revert to the normal OFF display.
LIGHTING THE HEATER
• Check that the power to the heater is switched ON,
and that the gas tap is turned ON.
• Press the ON/OFF button. The display will now show
one of three modes — MANUAL, AUTO or PROG
plus possibly flame and fan symbols. In PROGRAM
mode, the OFF may not change to ON, but the word
PROG will be displayed.
• Press the AUTO/MAN button repeatedly to step
through the three modes until you reach MANUAL. In
this mode the thermostat in the handpiece is
disabled so that the flame size and fan speed may
be controlled as desired. The flame symbol may or
may not be showing.
• If the flame symbol is showing, the ignition sequence
will commence. After a deliberate time delay (about
7 seconds), the ignition sparking will commence, and
if gas is available, the fire will light.
• If the flame symbol is not showing, press the ‘+’
button. When it shows, the ignition sequence will
begin as described in the previous paragraph.
• The first time you attempt to light the fire there will
probably be air in the pipeline, so flame may not
appear before the spark shuts down after about 30
seconds. If this happens, press the ON/OFF button
and the flame symbol on the display will disappear.
Then press the ON/OFF button again to restore the
flame symbol when a further ignition cycle will
commence. (Don’t forget the 7 second delay
between the remote calling for ignition and spark
commencement). Repeat this switching OFF and ON
as necessary until the gas comes through and the
fire lights.
• The heater will always light at the HIGH setting, but
will fall back to a lower setting after about 15
seconds unless the top heat setting has been
selected.
• Repeated pressing of the ‘+’ button will progress the
flame through its six flame heights. The flame
symbol on the display will increase in size as the
higher heat outputs are selected. Press the ‘–’ button,
repeatedly if required, to diminish the flame to its
minimum size.
• When the flame symbol appears on the display,
the fan speed can be selected. Repeated pressing of
the FAN button will step the fan speed through its
three speeds and OFF setting. (LOW > MED > HIGH
> OFF > LOW etc.). Turn the fan OFF by pressing
the FAN button while the fan is in its HIGH speed
setting. Fan speed settings are displayed to the right
of the fan symbol by up to three wavy lines and a
number. The more lines, the faster the fan speed.
NOTE. Your fan may be fitted with an internal heat
operated switch (Thermodisc) to prevent it
blowing cold air. This means that even though
the display shows that the fan is switched on,
the fan will not start until the heater has
warmed
up.
The
fan
will
then
start
automatically (after about ten minutes).
• The flame height and fan speed can be controlled
as desired at any time. No harm will result if you
turn the fan off (by repeated pressing of the fan
button until the fan symbol disappears from the
display), and keep the flame alight.
OPERATING IN MANUAL MODE
• To turn the fire on and off, simply press the
ON/OFF button, checking that the display shows
MANUAL. The flame and fan selections will resume
their previous settings, but remember that the fan
will not start until the fire has warmed up for about
ten minutes if a Thermodisc is fitted.
• Full
instructions
for
AUTO
operation
and
PROGRAM setting are in the separate leaflet.
Please read them to utilise the full potential of your
control system.
ECS II MODELS - SHUTDOWN
• To stop the fire immediately, press the ON/OFF
button once.
THE FIRST FEW FIRES
The first few fires in your stove are part of the curing
process. When first operated, the unit will release an
odour and the flames will appear orange caused by the
curing of the paint, the burning off of the starch in the
gas logs and the oils on the metal.
After several fires the starch in the logs may show as a
deposit inside the glass. If this film is not removed it
will bake on and may become very difficult to remove.
When the glass is cold, remove it (see pages 8 & 9)
and clean the inside with a non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE
IT IS HOT. NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE
GLASS REMOVED.
FAN OPERATION
Note: It is possible to use all fires with the fan not
running, although for better air circulation and heat
discharge using the fan is recommended.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
You will probably hear some sounds from your gas
appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that
various parts expand and contract at different rates.
Such noises are normal operating sounds and these
should not be considered as defects in your appliance.
