In Great Britain :-
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a competent (e.g. GAS
SAFE Registered) Installer, in accordance with the installation instructions and the
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. Failure to install appliances
correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of safety to
comply with the law.
The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf provided that the shelf is at least
200mm above the top of the appliance and the depth of the shelf does not exceed
150mm.
The fire may be installed below combustible shelves which exceed 150mm deep
providing that the clearance above the fire is increased by 15mm for each 25mm
of additional overhang in excess of 150mm.
In Republic of Ireland :-
o purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this
appliance when installed in G.B. When installed I.E. please consult
document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation which is issued by the
ational Standards Authority of Ireland. Any purpose made ventilation
should be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
If the chimney or flue has been previously used by appliances burning fuels other
than gas they must be swept prior to the installation of this fire.
If this appliance is fitted directly on to a wall without the use of a fireplace or
surround, soft wall coverings such as wallpaper, blown vinyl etc. could be affected
by the heat and hot convection air and may discolour or scorch. This should be
considered when installing or decorating.
The model no. of this appliance is as stated on the rating plate, located on the
control panel of the fire.

ABOUT YOUR EW GLOBAL ARA A GAS FIRE
The Global Arana RC convector coal effect gas fire incorporates a unique and
highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined
with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the
construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation.
When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch
used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals, it is non-toxic and will soon
disappear.
Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to
obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.
IMPORTA T SAFETY I FORMATIO
WAR I G
This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a
fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and
infirm. Fireguards should conform to B.S. 8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use
with gas heating appliances).
It is important that this appliance is serviced at least once a year by a GAS SAFE
registered gas installer and that during the service the fire is removed from the fire
opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages
which must be removed. The chimney should also be checked to ensure clear-
ance of flue products.
After installation or during servicing a spillage test must always be carried
out.
Rubbish of any type must NEVER be thrown onto the fuel bed, this could affect
safe operation and damage the fire.
Any debris or deposits should be removed from the fuel bed from time to time.
This may be carried out by referring to the cleaning section as described later in
this book.
nly the correct number and type of coals must be used and only complete and
genuine replacement sets must be used.
Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never
dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire. Never use aerosols or
flammable cleaning products near to the fire when it is in use.
The ceramic fuel bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and
sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.
The fire must only be operated with a suitable fender.

OPERATI G THE FIRE USI G THE REMOTE CO TROL HA DSET
a) The Remote control handset generates an infrared signal, which will be
received by the sensor situated at the front right of your fire, behind the
ashpan cover. This infrared signal requires direct line of sight from the
handset to the sensor on the fire to ensure good operation.
b) To light the appliance using the handset, point the handset at the fire
and press the 2 left hand buttons together. The fire will emit a “beep”
sound, the buttons can now be released. After a few seconds an
audible clicking can be heard and then the fire will light the pilot and
then light the main burner. The ignition cycle will take approximately 20
seconds.
c) To reduce the level of heat input on the fire, point the handset at the fire
and press the small flame button. (An audible beep will be heard)
d) To increase the level of heat input on the fire, point the handset at the
fire and press the large flame button. (An audible beep will be heard)
e) To leave the fire in the standby mode (pilot only running) press the small
round button on the handset. The fire should not be left in the
standby mode when unattended.
f) To switch the appliance off completely, press the large round button on
the handset, the fire will then switch off. See fig. 1 below for image of
handset.

SPILLAGE MO ITORI G SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with a spillage monitoring system which shuts down the fire
if the evacuation of combustion products from the fire is affected by a partially or
fully blocked flue.
If this system operates the fire will go out. If this occurs, leave the fire for at least
three minutes then follow the lighting procedure as described in the previous sec-
tion. In the event of repeated operation a GAS SAFE registered gas installer
must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.
CLEA I G - WAR I G
Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to
fully cool.
CLEANING THE TRIMS AND PAINTED METAL PARTS
Dependent upon the trim option chosen for use with this fire, there is a variety of
methods that can be chosen to clean the trim. All trims must only be cleaned with
a clean, damp cloth. Metal polishes must not be used on these trims. The trim is
best cleaned by removing it from the fire and placing it face up on a flat surface.
The trim is easily replaced by repositioning it on the fire and pushing it back onto
the magnets.
CLEA I G THE FUEL BED
We do not recommend cleaning of coals or fuelbed components as these are
fragile and damage may result. one of these parts must be washed or
exposed to any cleaning agents or water.
Any damaged parts must be replaced by contacting your dealer or telephoning
D.F.A. Ltd. on the number stated on the rear cover of this book. Coals must only
be replaced with a complete and genuine replacement set and the fire must never
be run with the wrong number or damaged coals. The fuelbed must be
carefully re-assembled as stated in the following section.

The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most
pleasing and random appearance.
Warning : Use only the coals supplied with the fire. When replacing the
coals remove the old coals and discard them. Fit a complete set of
coals of the correct type. Do not fit additional coals or any coals
other than a genuine replacement set.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F (Refractory Ceramic
Fibre) articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we
recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust
accumulated in and around the appliance before and after working on the
appliance. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced
items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags,
clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. RCF waste is classed as a “stable”, non
reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed of at a landfill licensed to
accept such waste Protective clothing is not required when handling these
articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not
smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and always wash your hands
before eating or drinking.
