This gas fire is designed to meet the most stringent quality, performance and safety
requirements to provide you with many years’ trouble-free service.
This guide aims to improve your understanding and appreciation of your gas fire by
providing simple and informative instructions to ensure that you benefit from the
excellent performance and features it has to offer.
SAFETY
Do have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Do
have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
Do allow a minimum clearance of 95mm from the top of the appliance fascia to the
underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing
and also allows sufficient access to operate the control knob. For a shelf made from
wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the clearance
for every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See graph 1). Please bear this in mind if ever
you add a shelf.

DIRECTORY

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 protectio
n
of pet animals. (
Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it is a heating
appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot).
Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971
and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.
Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
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 clearance of 48
mm between the fascia sides and any corner wall
having combustible material or other combustible surface which projects beyond the
front of the fire (See figure 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you are considering
altering the room.
Don’t hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Don’t fill in the space behind the fascia.
Don’t use the fire without the dress guard being in position.
Don’t
attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.
Don’t use the fire with damaged radiants.

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 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
down 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.
The control is shown in figure 2.
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise
towards the 1 position. A spark should be generated
at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the
pilot. If it does not, keeping the knob depressed,
continue to turn the knob anticlockwise. A second
spark should ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be
seen through the opening immediately below the right
hand centre radiant (See figure 3). If the pilot does not
light, turn the knob back to ‘OFF’ and try again.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition
mechanism the pilot can be lit with a long match or
taper – See the next page.
When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the flame
sensing probe to warm up.

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 control knob can then be set to your preferred heat level. The settings are:
To turn off partially depress the knob and turn clockwise to off. Wait at least three
minutes before attempting to relight.
Lighting with a match or taper
Depress the control knob and turn
anticlockwise towards the 1 position.
While keeping the knob depressed, light the
pilot by inserting a long match or taper into
the opening to the right side of the brass
handle (See figure 3).
When the pilot is alight, keep the knob
depressed for about ten seconds to allow the
flame sensing probe to warm up before setting
to your preferred heat level.
For your own convenience, have the heater
serviced as soon as possible.

CLEANING YOUR FIRE
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning.
Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright metal trims may be cleaned with a
damp cloth and dried with a soft duster. Obstinate marks can be removed from the guard
and trims using soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners.
The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see below for how to remove the
radiants.
REPLACING THE RADIANTS
(See figure 4).
Always use the correct type of replacement radiant. Ask for part number 5110472.
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting to remove the radiants.
!
Remove the dress guard by pressing down the two hooks at the top. Tilt the guard
forward and lift out.
! Lift the radiant upward to clear the metal retaining bar then pull out bottom first.
! Fit the new radiant by inserting its top under the top lip of the radiant box then
swing the bottom of the radiant over and behind the retaining bar.
It is important that
that the rear face of the radiants rest against the horizontal ribs in the rear panel.
There will be a small gap between their bottom front edges and the retaining

channel at the front of the radiant box.
!
Replace the dress guard. Locate the bottom of the dress guard in the two holes in the
bottom panel apron. Push the guard back so that the two spring projections at the top of
the guard engage in the slots under the front decorative canopy.
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.
!
If you require your fire to be serviced, please contact British Gas or Scottish Gas
TELEPHONE [phone] and please quote the following details:
Model name and number.
Appliance serial number (To be found on a label near the bottom left side of the
fascia).
! If you wish to replace any radiants, spare parts are available nationwide via the
‘interpart stockist network
’. For your local stockist consult Yellow pages under
Central Heating.
