OPERATING YOUR FIRE
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.
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which 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 which 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 kept depressed at the “Pilot/Ign” 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
.
Lighting the pilot
This fire is controlled by a 4-position gas tap mounted on
the front leg of the appliance. In addition to the “Off”
position there is a pilot light and 2 heat control settings.
See figure 1.
•
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the “
Pilot/Ign
” position. A spark should be
generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should
ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen below the
coal at the front left side.
•
Keep the button at the “
Pilot/Ign
” position for a further
ten seconds. This will prevent the flame-sensing device
from shutting off the gas while its probe warms up.
•
If the pilot does not ignite instantly, repeat procedure.
If after 10 seconds pilot ignition has not occurred, turn
the control knob back to the “Off” position, wait for 3
minutes and then repeat the ignition procedure.
