automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out).
Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by
heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do
provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in mind if
ever you are considering altering the room.
Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of
young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended
for the protection of pet animals. The glass panel on this model conforms to
the requirements of B.S. 1945:1971 and satisfies the Heating Appliances
(Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991. The glass panel is very hot when the
appliance is in use and should not be touched. It does not give full protection
for young children, the elderly or infirm. The appliance should not be used if
the glass is broken.
Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t
add any extra ceramic fuel effect pieces above the number stated in the fuel effect
installer and owner guide supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. This could cause
incomplete combustion and safety hazard.
Don’t put paper or any other material on the fire.
Don’t place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth.
Don’t
attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.

APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS
OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The Oxysafe flame sensing and 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 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.

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 word ‘ON’ will now start to flash in the top left hand
corner of the display screen).
xPress
the ‘SET’ button. The L.E.D. light on the bottom left hand side of the fire will
illuminate and a
small twin flame symbol will flash on the handset. The flame symbol
will stop flashing when the ignition sequence has been completed. When the ‘SET’
button is pressed there will be a slight delay and several sparks should be seen
between
the electrode and pilot tip. These should ignite the gas at the pilot and burner. The fire
will always light on heat setting 1.
If the pilot and burner do not light then the fire will
have to be turned off before attempting to light again. See ‘To turn off’ section below.
Repeat the lighting procedure. The pilot and burner should now light.
To turn off.
xPress the on-off button (The word ‘OFF’ will now start to flash in the top left
hand corner of the display screen).
xPress
the ‘SET’ button. The L.E.D. light on the bottom left hand side of the fire will
illuminate. The word ‘OFF’ will now be displayed. If the pilot and burner do not
extinguish then the handset will display the word ‘OFF’ even though the fire is still lit.
The handset will have to be set to ‘ON’. To do this follow the steps in the ‘To light the
fire’ section above. Once the handset displays the word ‘ON’ follow the procedure
above to turn off.
! While cooling, the fuel effect may make some crackling noises. This is quite
normal.
The fire is fitted with a manual ‘OFF’ button.
This is located behind the front cover.
To gain access to it
lower the bottom front cover. To do this, support the top edges of
the lower front cover and pull gently (See figure 5). The button is next to the battery
box above the LED light.

hand side of the fire will illuminate to confirm that
each signal has been recieved.
The fire can NOT be turned OFF by repeatedly
pressing the flame decrease button. See the section
headed ‘To turn off’ above.
Note:i) If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire
serviced.
ii) Please note. When first turned on the flames
will appear predominantly blue. The fuel effect
will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after approximately
ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer
time.
iii) The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed
during the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply set the handset to
heat setting 4 (See figure 3). This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may
have formed during previous operations.
iv) If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to
change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may
form during operation.
Locking the remote control handset.

CLEANING YOUR FIRE
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your fire please follow these
guidelines:
!
Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning
can begin.
!
If any pieces of debris are found in the hotbox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal Parts.
!
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth and then dry.
! Do not use abrasive cleaners, as these will scratch the fire surface.
! Fascia -
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. If this does
not work apply a very small amount of ‘baby oil’ to a lint free, non-abrasive cloth and
wipe over the surface. Use a clean non-abrasive cloth to wipe off the oil.
Glass parts.
! Marks and stains on the glass can be removed using non-abrasive glass cleaner.
Non-abrasive ceramic hob cleaner can be used to remove stains.
! Note: The decorative metal surfaces within the firebox are exposed to high
temperatures. Great care has been taken to ensure that discolouration is kept to a
minimum. However, the combination of heat and variable flue conditions may result in
small amounts of discolouration or staining.
Ceramic fuel effect.
! This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this
material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is
important to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of
dust is kept to a minimum.
!
In the unlikely event of soot forming, light coatings will usually be burnt off during
the normal operation of the fire.
! Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be
removed from the fire for cleaning. To do this the fascia will have to be removed.
Firmly hold the fascia at the sides and lift clear of the hanging brackets (See f
igure 6)
!
Cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently
brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust.
! We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may
blow dust back into the air.
! We suggest that you remove the ceramic fuel effect in the reverse order to that

shown in the ceramic fuel effect installer and owner guide. This should have been left
inside or attached to this guide by the installer.
Burner.
Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign matter from the solid areas of the burner
with a dry soft brush. Be careful not to brush any particles into the open holes. Remove
any particles from the holes with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush attachment.
Do not poke wire, etc. into the holes in the burner.
CERAMIC FUEL EFFECT
The installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is separate from this guide. The
installer may have attached it to this guide or placed it inside. It is important that the
installer and owner guide for the ceramic fuel effect is followed correctly. If replacing
the ceramic fuel effect, where a new guide is supplied, follow the installer and owner
guide supplied with the replacement fuel effect.
Keep the replacement installer and owner guide with this owner guide for future
reference.
Removing the fascia.
The fascia is held in place by four retaining
plates at the back of the fascia. These slot
into four retaining brackets on the hotbox.
Firmly hold the sides of the fascia and lift
upward and forward (See figure 6). After
cleaning / fitting the fuel effect, the fascia
can be replaced.

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance.
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every
twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked
annually.
Servicing.
!
In the United Kingdom servicing can be carried out either by a Baxi Fires Division
service engineer or a CORGI registered installer.
! If you require your fire to be serviced, please contact
Baxi Fires Division Service
on 08706 090 081 and quote the following details;
IMPORTANT
To help us quickly help you, please try to have the following information available
before you contact us:
