or by a Bellfires dealer as designated by Interfocos B.V.

of the instructions for use.
2.4. In addition, the original receipt (invoice, receipt, cash receipt) showing the date of
purchase must also be submitted.
2.5. Repairs and replacements during the warranty period do not give any entitlement
to an extension of the warranty period. After a repair or replacement of warranty
parts, the warranty period shall be deemed to have started on the date of
purchasing the Bellfires hearth.
2.6. If a certain part is eligible for the warranty and the original part is no longer
available, Interfocos B.V. shall ensure that an alternative part of at least the
same quality shall be provided.

The liability of Interfocos B.V. never extends further than that stated in these
warranty conditions. Any liability of Interfocos B.V. for consequential damage is
expressly excluded.

2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Bellfires gas fire. This quality product
will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the flame effect and warmth that
it provides. Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the appliance for
the first time. Keep this booklet in a safe place.
2.2 BUILT-IN PROTECTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is fully protected by means of a thermo-electric pilot light shut off in the
event of a gas escape from the main burner.
2.2.1 Safety
Do not place embers, vermiculite granules, wood logs or pebbles against
the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot flame can burn at all times
freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper ignition of the main
burner ensured.
Ignoring these directions could lead to a dangerous situation.
Do not place flammable objects within 100 cm of the appliance. Pay
special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the fire.
When igniting the pilot light and burner, always keep a minimum
distance of 100 cm from the front of the appliance.
If the pilot flame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before
attempting to re-light it.
It is essential that the appliance, the complete concentric flue system and
the outlet are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fitter/gas
specialist. The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed.
For this, please refer to the Installation instructions (Chapter 2:
Maintenance), that are supplied separately with each appliance.
The gas fire must never be used with the door open or the door glass
removed.

Bellfires English
Instructions for use
NOTE:
IF THE APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASS.
This glass has special coating layers in order to reduce the reflection to
close to 0%. This means you have a perfectly clear view of the flames.
Because the coating layers are very vulnerable to damage, maintenance
of anti-reflective glass must be done in strict compliance with the
maintenance instructions of chapter 4.
Never place flammable material on the ceramic log set.
The filling of the main burner with embers, vermiculite granules,
wood logs or pebbles may not under any circumstances be changed
or added to.
Do not place easily-flammable materials, such as nylon clothing or
flammable liquids, in the vicinity of the gas fire.
Ensure at all times that children and other people who are not
aware of the operation of the gas appliance are only in the vicinity
of the appliance exclusively under supervision.
Use a fireguard to protect the people and children mentioned
above against possible burns.

2.3 FLAME EFFECT
The appliance is supplied with a “Premium Fire” double burner, as ordered, from the
factory.
This burner has a specific flame effect, see below for an impression.
Both burners ON
Only front burner ON
Butane and Propane: The flame effect produced by butane and
propane is less realistic than with natural gas.
The flame effect is less as far as flame
volume and height are concerned!
Natural gas: The above sketches provide an impression of the flame effect.
This can differ from reality. The flame effect is namely
dependant on the composition and supply pressure of the
natural gas present.

Figure 3: Receiver “RESET” button
IMPORTANT: SETTING UP SIGNAL CODE BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before the appliance can be used, the receiver must first learn the hand-held
transmitter’s signal code.
• Press the “RESET” button on the receiver, and keep this pressed until 2 beeps are
heard. See figure 3.
Release the “RESET” button after the second (somewhat longer) beep.
• Press, within 20 seconds, the button (small flame) on the hand-held transmitter,
until 2 short beeps are heard. The signal code has now been set up on the receiver.
If, however, a single long beep is heard, this means that setting the signal code
has failed or that the wiring has been connected incorrectly.
You only need to set up the signal code once. It is not necessary when changing the
batteries of the hand-held transmitter or receiver.
Burner:
The appliance’s entire burner consists of a “front burner” and a “rear burner”.
Burner operation described below applies to:
1 Both “front burner” and “rear burner”.
(The -symbol (AUX -function) on the hand-held transmitter’s display is visible.)
or
2 Only “front burner”. The “rear burner” is turned off.
