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.
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.

“OFF” POSITION
IGNITION POSITION
CONTROL KNOB
BURNER CONTROL RANGE
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 OPERATING YOUR GAS FIRE - GENERAL
Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fire!
The gas fire can be operated with a pilot light that burns continuously. The ignition and
control knob is located at the bottom of the front of your gas fire or outside the gas fire
in a special box (supplied). If the control knob is fitted to the front of the gas fire, the gas
fire frame must be removed to access the knob.
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.
Important
Once the fire is lit, it must burn at maximum for approx. 10 minutes to allow the chimney
to come up to temperature.
2.4 HAND CONTROL
The burner is operated using the control knob. Select the required setting and the
burner will then burn at this setting until it is changed.

• Press in the control knob and turn it (clockwise) as far as possible. It is now in the
“off” position.
• Press the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the “PILOT” ignition position.
You will hear a click, which is the spark for the pilot light. You may have to “click”
several times before the pilot light ignites.
• Once the pilot light is ignited, hold in the knob for another ten (10) seconds and
then release it.
If the pilot flame goes out, then wait for at
least 5 minutes before repeating the above
procedure.
• The burner is ignited by turning the knob anti-clockwise to the desired setting.
Important: • When the main burner is switched on by turning
the motor knob to the left, the burner must
ignite within 10 seconds.
If this does not happen, immediately close the
gas tap and warn the fitter.
• If the main burner ignites with a pop;
immediately close the gas tap and warn
the fitter.
2.4.2 Turning off the fire
Press the knob and turn it to “PILOT”.
The burner will continue to burn for a few seconds before being extinguished.
2.4.3 Extinguishing the pilot light
You can extinguish the pilot light by pressing the control knob when it is in the “PILOT”
position and turning it clockwise to the “OFF” position.
If the gas fire is not going to be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to
close the gas supply valve to the fire.
If the pilot flame goes out for any reason,
wait for 5 minutes before attempting to
re-light it.
If the pilot light frequently goes out, then please contact your installer.

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.
or:
The receiver and the gas control block are behind the operating flap at the bottom of the
appliance. Pull the flap forward to open.
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.
2.5.2 Hand-held transmitter

times (the piezo button is alongside the “O I” switch) to ignite the pilot light.
Check whether the pilot light has been lit through the glass.
lOnce the pilot light is lit, the recessed switch must be kept down for a further ten
seconds, after which it can be released.
Important: If the pilot flame goes out, then wait for
at least 5 minutes before repeating the
above procedure.
• Move the operating knob to the ON position. Depending on the position of the motor-
knob, the burner will either ignite or not.
• By turning the motor-knob anti-clockwise to the desired position, the burner will ignite
and the flame height can be controlled.
Important: • When the main burner is switched on by turning
the motor knob to the left, the burner must
ignite within 10 seconds.
If this does not happen, immediately close the
gas tap and warn the fitter.
• If the main burner ignites with a pop; immediately
close the gas tap and warn the fitter.
