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.
In addition, the appliance is equipped with a safety system, whereby hatches will extract
any over-pressure that arises in a controlled way. In this, the hatches in the ceiling of
the combustion chamber, briefly open.
A loud noise can occur. If this happens, immediately close the gas tap and contact the
fitter.
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
specia lis t. The safe operation of the appliance w ill thus remain gu arante ed.
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
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 “Centre Fire” or “Line Fire” double burner,
as ordered, from the factory. These burners each have their own specific flame effect,
see below for an impression.
Derby Small 3 CF
The appliance is supplied with a “Centre Fire” double burner:
Both burners ON

Bellfires English
Instructions for use
Only front burner ON
Derby Small 3 LF
The appliance is supplied with a “Line Fire” double burner:
Both burners ON
Only front burner ON
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.

12
Bellfires English
Instructions for use
2.4 OPERATION: REMOTE CONTROL
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!
2.4.1 General
Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fire !!
The appliance is operated by radio remote control. This comprises a hand-held
transmitter and a receiver. The receiver is part of the gas control block assembly.
The receiver and the gas control block are behind the (white) panel door (operating unit)
next to the appliance. Press the door inwards to open; this will release the catch and the
door will spring out.
The hand-held transmitter and receiver are powered by batteries.
Hand-held transmitter : 1x 9V battery.
Receiver : 4x 1.5V battery type LR6 or AA.
Option: 6V adapter (230 VAC). Available from your fitter.
Note: Hand-held transmitter and receiver are not interchangeable with previous models.
The pilot light is situated in the front of the burner, behind a cowl. Should the pilot light
go out, you must wait five (5) minutes before attempting to re-ignite the fire.
