IMPORTANT NOTES & REGULATIONS
Installation must only be carried out by a competent person. 8ee Imp
Notes in Installation Instructions (Page 2). Failure to do so will deem the
warranty invalid and may be dangerous.
It is advisable. that additional prpt~ction is provided for children and elderly
or infirm by fitting as fire guard which complies with the requirements of
886539 (1984) specifications for fireguards or 886778 (1986) suitable for
use with solid fuel fires.
The chimney should be swept before the appliance is installed.
The hearth at the front of the fire must never be covered with combustible
flooring or materials.
Never allow any rubbish to be thrown onto the coals /fire.
An odour may be noticeable when the fire is first lit, this arises from the
newness of the materials used and will disperse after a few hours usage.
Do not handle the grate front when the fire is in use as it gets very hot and
coals may fall out if moved. Wait until it has cooled down before touching
it.
The fir~ should not be used with the coals fitted in any other position than
as described in the diagram nor should any be removed or more added.
Do not place any combustible items such as furniture of soft wall
coverings too close to the fire as they will scorch. Do not under any
circumstances use the fire to dry clothes.
It is recommended that the fire is serviced by a competent person at least
once a year. The flue system should also be checked yearly to ensure
there is no sort of build up of soot or debris which will block the safe
dispersal of combustible products.
If the pilot light goes out for any reason do not attempt to relight for at least
three minutes
Only use the cast iron fret supplied with this appliance. Use of a different
fret could prove dangerous and may affect the performance of the fire .

OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The control knob is situated behind the cast iron fret door.
This fire is fitted with a flame failure safety cut out device which will
automatically shut the gas off if the pilot light goes out and will therefore
prevent any gas build up.
The control knob has four settings: OFF, IGNITION-PILOT, HIGH & LOW
To operate turn on the gas supply to the fire press the control knob in and
turn anti-clockwise to ignition position and hold for a few seconds for gas
to pass through, to pilot which should now ignite.
Once the pilot is lit (visable at centre front tray) hold control knob pressed
in for 10 - 15 seconds and then release, if the pilot goes out at this point
turn control knob back to off and wait 3 minutes before lighting.
if the pilot stays lit press the control knob in and turn anti-clockwise to the
low position and main gas will ignite after 2 - 3 seconds.
To turn to high setting press control knob in and cont~nue turning anti-
clockwise.
To turn fire off press the control knob in and turn clockwise to reach the off
position at the bottom. You may hear a light popping sound when the fire is
extinguished, This is quite normal
See Fig 1 for control markings.

Protect the pilot with a cloth while cleaning.
Remove the coals and check for any signs of damage or splits (replace any
where necessary) and carefully dust them with a soft brush ( a dry 1
11
paintbrush is ideal for this) Replacement of coals must be in accordance with
manufacturing instruction.
Remove the cloth protecting the pilot and replace the coals as shown in the
diagrams on pages 24, 25,
&
26 (repeat of pages 12, 13
&
14)
Should ignition fail to light pilot, press control knob in and turn anti-clockwise
to ignition posistion and hold for a few seconds, place lighted match or taper
between pilot vent and spark electrode, once pilot is a light, continue on as
previously described - see operating your fire: page 21
Under no circumstances should extra coals, different shaped coals over and
above those supplied with the appliance be used. Replacement parts must
be authorised spares. WARNING: Ignoring this advice could cause
incomplete clearance of the products of combustion with consequent health
hazards.
A list of
USER
replacement parts available refer to page 18. Items marked
*
items 5,6,7,8,9.14 & 15.
Any brass fittings can be cleaned with a non-abrasive brass cleaner.
Black cast iron frets just need dusting with a brush.
This appliance is intended for decorative purposes only.
This appliance is protected by a spillage monitoring system which will cut
off the pilot and shut down the fire if combustion products are not clearing

There will be a air gap between the rear of the front coals and the
the front bottom edge of the ceramic base.

When first used the new coals may give off an unusual small or odd flame
picture. This should disperse after 30 mins. Ventilate the room during this
time. If smells persist call in a competent person to check the flue and fire.
Check the coals for nay damage, the surface may flake but this is usual.
Place seven of the finger coals (L9) latitudly - (north to south) resting
firmly in between the peaks of the front burner coals and the rear base
ceramic. The remaining two finger coals place lenghtwise centrally about
the rear peaks
FIG 5. - 3rd Layer .
Take seven (812) (40 x 40 x 40) Coals along front top edge, evenly spaced.
,Take five cubic coals (40 x 40 x 40) (812)and place approximately midway
on top of finger coals running latitudly and spacing evenly along. Then
place five cubic coals (812) bridging onto the lengthwise finger coals
behind the secound row position and space evenly along.

Operation of the variable flame control is by a small round knob situated next to the data badge.
Pull forwards to open (Blue flame picture). Push to close (Yellow flame picture). See fig 2 on page

,The effect of the flame picture using the variable ,flame control will vary
according to the'type of flue application in use at that time. Atmosphere
conditions and position of chimney will differ in some locations. This however will not effect the
performance of the fire in anYway
