USER’S SECTION
FUEL EFFECT
This fire is supplied with ceramic fuel effect pieces
to simulate a real fire and a granular bed to
provide even flame distribution across the whole of
the bed. These items are safe to handle and the
coals are designed for easy re-fitting after
removal
.
GAS CONSUMPTION
This fire has a maximum gas input of 6.9 kW,
which is equal to approximately 4.25 hours use for
one therm of natural gas.

For your safety, the fire is fitted with a Flame
Supervision Device (FSD), which will shut off the
gas supply if for any reason the pilot is
extinguished. This device incorporates a fixed
probe, which senses heat from the pilot burner
flame. If the probe is cool, the device will prevent
any gas flow unless the control knob is pushed in
at the IGNITION position.
If for any reason the flames go out or if the fire has
been turned off for any reason, always WAIT FOR
3 MINUTES before attempting to relight.
TO LIGHT THE FIRE
1.
From the off position, SLOWLY push in
and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to
activate the spark at the IGNITION
position.
2.
Keep the control knob pressed in at this
position for approximately 10 – 20
seconds to allow the Flame Supervision
Device to warm.
3.
Release the control knob. The pilot should
remain lit independently.
SELECT THE BURNER FLAME LEVEL
NOTE: When first turned on the flames will appear
predominately blue. The coal bed will take time to
warm up. Although some glow will be seen after 5
– 10 minutes, the full effect will only be apparent
after a somewhat longer time.
1.
After lighting the pilot as described above,
turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the
HIGH position. The fire will now ignite.
2.
To decrease the amount of flame push the
control knob in slightly and turn to the
LOW position. The fire can now be used at
any desired setting at any position
between minimum (LOW) and maximum
(HIGH).
TO TURN OFF
1.
Push in and turn the control knob
clockwise to the OFF position to
extinguish the flames and the pilot flame.
2.
If desired he pilot flame can be left on to
make it quicker and easier to light the fire.
Although the pilot is using gas all the time
it is on, the amount used is minimal. To do
this turn the control knob to the IGNITION
position instead of the OFF position as
described above. If the fire is to be
switched OFF for long periods, it is
recommended that the control knob be
turned to the OFF position.
CLEANING
All cleaning
MUST
be carried out when the fire is
cold. NOTE: Heat is retained for some time after
the fire is switched OFF. Clean the surround and
fender parts with a slightly damp cloth and then
dry. Abrasive cleaners should NOT be used.
Normally the fire should only need dusting. Light
coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the
normal operation of the fire. If however, particles of
mortar from the chimney accumulate these should
be removed from the coals and back brick by
dismantling them and cleaning with a soft brush. If
you remove the fuel effect pieces, then do so in
the reverse order to that shown in the fuel bed
fitting instructions (pages 9 – 15).
