Operation Checks
Check ignition, pilot stability, burner flames, and the full range of the thermostat using the rotary switch inside the
appliance and the remote control. See the
Lighting Instructions
on page 30 of this manual for full details.
Aeration adjustment
As described on page 21, the burner aeration is adjustable. For the vast majority of installations, no adjustment will
be necessary. However, in a very few instances, performance may be improved by adjusting the aeration by sliding
the shutter. Evaluate the aeration only after the unit has warmed up—approximately 15 minutes.
The shutter setting is very sensitive. Small adjustments can make a substantial difference to the flames. We
strongly advise that adjustments be made in steps of no more than 1/64” (0.4 mm).
Increasing aeration will cause the flame to appear more transparent and blue making the ceramic fuel effects glow
more.
Decreasing aeration will cause the flames to appear more yellow or orange making the fuel effects glow less.
Too little aeration may result in black carbon forming and dropping into the firebox.
Operating Your Fireplace
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flame supervision device which will
shut-off the gas supply if, for any reason, the pilot flame goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe, which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the probe
is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the MAN knob is in position MAN
and the metallic core on the valve is pushed in. See the section
Lighting Instructions
on page 30 of this manual.
Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During startup, condensation, which
is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes dust and lint to cling to the glass
surface. Initially, paint, while curing, may deposit a slight film on the glass. We therefore
recommend that, during the first few weeks of use, the glass be cleaned two or three times
with non-abrasive common household cleaners (such as dish soap) and warm water.
Ammonia based cleaners should NOT be used
.
Subsequently, the glass should be cleaned two or three times a season depending on the
circumstances. Do not clean the glass while it is hot. Always securely replace the window
before lighting.
If broken, the glass pane may only be replaced as a complete window
unit as supplied by the manufacturer.
To remove the window for cleaning, release its top by pulling forward and rotating outwards
the two bars at the top corners. Unscrew the two spring-loaded bolts at the bottom of the
window. Lift the window and set it aside with the bolts to avoid damage. See page 16.
To refit the window, place it centrally against the firebox while resting it on the support at
the bottom of the firebox. Pull the clamping bars forward and rotate inwards to secure the
top of the window. Fit the two spring-loaded bolts through the bottom of the window and
tighten to secure. Pull the top of the window forward and release to check that the window
opens slightly and returns in the event of a delayed ignition. Similarly, check the bottom of
the window by pulling it forward and releasing. Then, apply light hand pressure against the
window frame sides to bed-in the window seal. See page 24.
Dust can be brushed from the ceramic logs and firebox walls after removing the front unit
and opening the window. Dust can also be removed from the burner using a soft brush
after removing the ceramic logs. When cleaning, make sure that no particles are brushed
into the slots of the burner.
