2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Bell!res gas !re. This quality product
will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the "ame effect and warmth that
it provides. Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the appliance for
the !rst 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 !tted with a patented safety system, whereby the door will
extract any over-pressure that arises in a controlled way. In this, a spring system brie"y
causes the door to hinge forward a few centimetres.
A loud noise can occur. If this happens, immediately close the gas tap and contact the
!tter.
2.2.1 Safety
Do not place embers, vermiculite granules, wood logs or pebbles against
the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot "ame 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 "ammable objects within 100 cm of the appliance. Pay
special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the !re.
When igniting the pilot light and burner, always keep a minimum
distance of 100 cm from the front of the appliance.
If the pilot "ame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before
attempting to re-light it.
It is essential that the appliance, the complete concentric "ue system and
the outlet are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised !tter/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 !re must never be used with the door open or the door glass
removed.

10
Bellres English
Instructions for use
Never place !ammable material on the ceramic log set.
The "lling 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-!ammable materials, such as nylon clothing or
!ammable liquids, in the vicinity of the gas "re.
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 "reguard to protect the people and children mentioned
above against possible burns.
2.3 OPERATION: REMOTE CONTROL

11
Bellres English
Instructions for use
2.3.1 General
Read these instructions carefully before lighting the !re ""
The appliance is opperated 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 !tter.
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 ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-ignite the re.
Important
Once the !re is lit, it must burn at maximum for approx. 10 minutes to allow the chimney
to come up to temperature"
2.3.2 Hand-held transmitter
The remote control works by radio signal. The hand-held transmitter is con!gured in the
factory with a unique signal code.

3 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
The gas !re is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During the !rst
hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an unpleasant smell. This
is harmless, however. Operating the gas !re at full capacity for a few hours, while
ventilating the room, will eliminate the smell.
After using your gas !re for the !rst few times, you may be aware of a light deposit on
the inside off the glass. This is caused by the paint curing. Once your !replace has
cooled down, this deposit can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.
4 DAILY MAINTENANCE
 Ensure 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 suf!ciently ventilated. Regularly remove
any dust deposits from behind the (white) panel door (operating unit) by means of a
vacuum cleaner.
Important:  Regularly clean the glass on the inside of the appliance with
glass spray or ceramic hob cleaner. This also applies to the
black mirror rear wall and side panels, if the appliance is !tted
with these.
Attention"" If the glass and the mirror walls are not cleaned
on time, this can result in them becoming dull and
dif!cult, if not impossible, to clean.
(See installation instructions for dismantling/
assembling the glass.)
 If the glass is broken or cracked, it must be
immediately replaced before operating the
gas !re again.
Ceramic heat-resistant glass may not be placed in
the glass container, but must be included in normal
household waste.
 If the appliance has two or more glasss, regularly
check whether the glass panes !t !rmly together.
Gaps between the glass panes can lead to the leakage
of #ue gasses into the living room"
 If anything is spilt on the !re, switch it off immediately and wait for it to cool
down suf!ciently before cleaning. Never use scouring powder, aggressive
cleaners or !re polish on the gas !re. Use only a dry lint free cloth.
 Heat 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.
