OPERATING THE 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 that 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 that 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 held in at the ignition 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
.
To light the fire
Depress the control knob and rotate it anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position. A
‘click’ will be heard as the integral piezo operates. A flame should appear at the
pilot. Keep the control knob depressed and hold the pilot ignition position for five
seconds. When the control knob is released the pilot flame should remain lit. If a
flame does not appear at the pilot then turn the control knob clockwise to the ‘OFF’
position and repeat the above.
When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti-
clockwise to ‘HIGH’ position. (Depress the knob slightly to get past the pilot
ignition position). The main burner should now light.
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the ‘HIGH’ position and turn back
(clockwise) to ‘LOW’. While turning, the burner flames should gradually become
lower but remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly to release from the
‘LOW’ position and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main
burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the control
knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.
