2INSTRUCTIONS 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.
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.
See for additional instructions Chapter 4: Maintenance.
If the pilot flame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before
attempting to re-light it.
The gas fire must never be used with the door open or the door glass
removed.
Never place flammable material on the ceramic log set.
The filling of the main burner with embers, vermiculite granules, wood
logs and 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.

wait for 5 minutes before attempting to
re-light it.
2.6 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
The gas fire is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During the first
hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an unpleasant smell. This
is harmless, however. Operating the gas fire at full capacity for a few hours, while
ventilating the room, will eliminate the smell.
After using your gas fire for the first few times, you may be aware of a light deposit
behind the glass. This is caused by the paint curing. Once your fireplace has cooled
down, this deposit can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.
2.7 DAILYMAINTENANCE
lEnsure that as little dust, and as few particles of cigarette smoke, candles and oil
lamps as possible pollute the air in the room in which the appliance is used. Heating
of these particles by the convection system of the appliance could lead to
discoloration of the walls and ceiling. It is therefore very important to ensure that the
room in which the appliance is located is sufficiently ventilated. Regularly remove
any dust deposits from behind the control flap by means of a vacuum cleaner.
Important: If the glass is broken or cracked, it must be
immediately replaced before operating the
gas fire again.

18
Bellfires English
Instructions for use and installation instructions
lIf anything is spilt on the fire, switch it off immediately and wait for it to cool
down sufficiently before cleaning. Never use scouring powder, aggressive
cleaners or fire polish on the gas fire. Use only a dry lint free cloth.
lHeat resistant lacquer in aerosols can be obtained from your
distributor. During the yearly maintenance, the lacquer can be used to repair
small areas of damage.
The installation must only be carried out by a
CORGI registered installation engineer.

3INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 GENERAL
The gas fire must be positioned and connected as a “room sealed system” (balance
flue) appliance by a CORGI registered gas installation engineer in accordance with the
following installation instructions, nationally and locally applicable regulations (see
“Technical Details/ Regulations” at the rear of this manual). If you have any queries
regarding the installation, please consult your local gas company.
Important: Before beginning the installation, check that the details on the
rating plate correspond to the gas type and pressure to which
the appliance will be connected.
The appliance is factory set to the correct tolerances. The pilot light is set to the correct
level of consumption.
It is possible to install the gas fire with either a wall or roof outlet, using the Barbas or
Ontop (US-System) concentric flue Ø100 mm (inner) - Ø150 mm (outer) system. The
fumes are exhausted naturally to the outside environment through the inner Ø100 mm
pipe whereas the combustion air supply passes between the Ø100 mm and Ø150 mm
pipes.
The gas fire can be installed in a completely sealed or mechanically ventilated
house without extra ventilation and/or fume extraction.
The gas fire can be installed as an insertion into an existing open fire place or as
a built-in appliance in a new fire place.
The exception to this rule is the Smart Bell. This appliance can also be wall-mounted.
Chimney ventilation and a convection package is then not required.
In order to prevent the fireplace heating up excessively, it must be properly
ventilated by installing vents at the top and bottom of the fireplace..
The appliance can be fitted with a convection package as an optional extra. This is a
‘convection jacket’ for the appliance, two flexible aluminium pipes and two built-in
convection vents. This enables hot air to be circulated into the room.
When handling the frame, we advise you to use the special gloves supplied, and
to leave them with the owner of the hearth after installation.
If an existing chimney is to be used, please consult your installer first. If the chimney
was previously used for a wood or coal fire, then it should be cleaned by an expert.

Instructions for use and installation instructions
3.2 BARBAS AND ONTOP CONCENTRIC FLUE Ø100 MM - Ø150 MM SYSTEM
The appliance is in combination with the concentric flue system [Ø100 mm – Ø150 mm]
(either rigid or flexible) of Barbas or Ontop (US system) compliant with the European
CE norm for gas appliances, and may therefore only be used with these systems.
The guarantee is invalidated if the appliance is (completely or partially) installed using a
different system.
The Barbas and Ontop concentric flue [Ø100 mm - Ø150 mm] systems can be used
with either a newly-built or existing chimney.
3.3 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
The following preparation must be carried out before the gas fire can be installed.
3.3.1 Instructions for positioning the outlet
