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.

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

2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Bellfires gas fire with an open
combustion system.
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. Furthermore, the appliance is fitted with
an “oxy-stop” pilot flame that shuts down the burner if the flue gas is insufficiently
exhausted.
This atmosphere protection; the “oxy-stop” pilot light, should not replace an in-
dependently installed carbon monoxide detector.
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 flue and the burner air intake 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.

Figure 4: 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 4.
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.
