Making the most of your Surefire gas fire.
Thank you very much for buying the Surefire gas fire, you now own the most efficient flued gas
fire in the world. To ensure you get the most from your fire and to understand its operation,
please read the information below. It has taken Burley Magiglo nearly four years to develop
the numerous unique features used in this fire, the technology is so advanced that this fire is
the subject of five pending patents, so it is not the same as fires you may have previously
owned.
Why the Surefire is so Efficient, 94.7%.
Making the most of the gas, burning the gas completely, extracting the maximum amount of
heat before the hot gases leave the fire, and minimising the heat loss from your house.
Making the Most of the Gas
The Surefire only uses a tiny amount of gas, just 2.5kWh or around 1 pence per hour. This is
the same amount of gas as the smallest ring on a gas cooker, yet it will warm your house
more than a 7kW conventional gas fire. The gas is burnt through a specifically designed
burner and coal bed which has been designed to glow as much as possible. This red glow is
heat being taken from the burning gas and being converted to radiant heat.
Glass
Radiant heat is the warmth you feel when you sit in front of the fire, the large glass screen and
the angled combustion chamber ensures this is used to its fullest advantage. Each time the
fire is started from cold the glass will mist over with condensation, this is normal, water vapour
is a by-product of combustion and the Surefire extracts so much heat this vapour condenses.
As the fire warms up the condensation will evaporate. Do not be surprised if you see small
amounts of steam exiting at the bottom edges of the glass.
Burning the Gas Completely.
After passing through the coals the combustion of the gas continues in the form of the small
yellower flames, these burn quite close to the fuel bed to prevent soot forming (which is lost
energy) and to allow the maximum time to heat the air inside the combustion chamber.
Catalytic Converter.
Finally, when exiting the combustion chamber, the gases pass through a catalytic converter.
The catalytic converter completes the combustion process by changing carbon monoxide to
carbon dioxide, releasing even more heat.
Extracting the Maximum Amount of Heat
The sides and top of the combustion chamber are made from an aluminium alloy. Aluminium
allows heat to pass through it twice as quickly as steel, so far more heat is extracted from the
hot gases inside.
The Inside of the combustion chamber has been designed to retain the hot gases for longer so
they have more time to give up their heat. They then pass into a duct which exits to the flue.
The combustion chamber and the duct have been designed to allow the air from your room to
flow between them, heating the air before it is returned to your room.
Fan
A fan is located in the back of the fire. This is connected to a thermal switch which turns the
fan on whenever the fire gets hot. The fan creates a coanda effect which enhances the flow of
air described above by forcing it more quickly past the back and sides of the combustion
chamber, extracting even more heat. The fan also causes the warm air to circulate around
your room, creating a more uniform warmth and helping to remove cold spots in the room.

Page 3
The fan is powered by a small adapter (provided) which plugs into a conventional wall socket.
The adapter has a variable output from 3 to 12 watts so you can select your preferred speed.
On the higher settings there will inevitably be a little noise from the fan, so if you are sitting
reading you may wish to choose one of the lower speeds. The fire may be used without the
fan connected at all, for example if there is a power cut or there is not a convenient power
supply nearby, this will not damage the fire.
Minimising the Heat Loss from your House
A flued gas fire is connected to a flue or chimney to draw away the waste gases, generally this
is far larger than is needed so it also draws a lot of the warm air from your room. The flue duct
on the Surefire has been calculated to only allow the waste gases to be extracted with a
minimal amount of heat loss.
Flue Damper
Because hot air rises, the hotter a flue or chimney gets, the harder it pulls the air. To counter
this the Surefire has a unique damper which senses the temperature of the gases leaving the
fire, and automatically opens or closes the opening to the flue. If you have a particularly poorly
performing chimney the installer might disable this function.
Baffle to Close the Flue
Not only does the Surefire regulate the opening to the flue when the fire is in use, it also
closes the flue when the fire is not in use.
A chimney or flue connected to a normal gas fire will extract all the air from an average sized
room once every hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year. This is a huge amount of air
being lost, warm air that you have already paid to heat. Another exclusive feature of the
Surefire is a baffle which closes the flue when not in use, keeping the warm air in your house.
This massing saving is not included in the Surefire’s 94.7% efficiency rating, it is in addition to
this.
The fire is designed so it cannot be turned on when the damper is in the closed position
Slide Control
The slide control has been selected and developed to allow easy, high level, trouble free use.
The operation works as follows:
• Starting at the upper position, push the slider lever down to its lower position, at this
point gas is allowed through to the pilot and you will hear the ignitor clicking.
• You will see the pilot light through the coals at the front right side. Once the pilot
lights, continue to keep the lever pushed down for a further 1 seconds. If it is not held down
the flame failure device will not recognise that the fire has been lit and the pilot will shutdown
again.
• Release the lever and lift it to roughly the half way position, this will allow gas to
pass to the main burner and will light the fire on ‘high’.
• Should you wish to turn the fire down, push the lever down to the lower setting.
• To turn the fire off (including the pilot light) lift the lever all the way to the top. In this
position the baffle will also close the exit to the flue.
Safety
The most common problem with flues and chimneys is that if they become blocked, by a bird’s
nest or a collapse of masonry for example, the burnt gases from the fire can flow back into the
house. The burnt gases have a high amount of carbon monoxide which can present a hazard
to the occupants. With the Surefire, the burnt gases have been passed through a catalytic
converter before they are allowed to leave the fire. The catalytic converter removes most of
the carbon monoxide, reducing it to such a low level that even if the chimney is blocked the
fire will continue to work safely.

2.1. Important Note About ODS Pilot
This fire is fitted with an ODS pilot which causes the appliance to shut down in the event of a
reduction of oxygen (e.g. caused by poor ventilation) in the room. Should this happen, follow
the lighting instructions to re-light the fire. In the event that the fire should shut down again,
do NOT attempt to re-light it but contact your gas installer for remedial action to be taken.
Under no circumstances should it be adjusted or put out of action by the installer
or the user. If the pilot needs replacing, only the approved part (available from
your supplier or Burley Magiglo.) should be fitted. Note: if any part of the pilot
assembly becomes faulty the complete assembly will need replacing.

3. U SER I NSTRUCTIONS
3.1. Lighting Procedure
The pilot can be viewed by looking downwards over the front ceramic between the first and
second coals from the right hand side.
Press the control lever firmly down to the bottom of its travel and listen for the spark generator
clicking which should light the pilot.
Hold down for a further 1 seconds.
If the pilot should fail to stay alight slide the
control lever to the top of its travel, wait 3
minutes and repeat the procedure.
Once the pilot is alight lift the control lever to the
desired heat setting.
To turn off the fire lift the control lever to the top
of its travel.
The off position on the side of the fire may not correspond exactly with the control
lever. This is only intended as an indication.
3.2. lectric Fan
Your fire has been fitted with a low voltage electric convection fan to improve its efficiency.
The fan is controlled by a temperature sensitive switch and will start automatically as the fire
warms up and will switch off as the fire cools. It may continue to run after the fire is turned off
as the fire will take some time to cool down.
If you do not wish to use the fan, turn off the socket that its power supply unit is plugged into.
Alternatively the fan speed can be reduced by selecting a lesser voltage by turning the
selector switch on the rear of the power supply unit.
A small key is supplied to do this or a flat bladed screwdriver may be used. The efficiency of
the appliance is slightly reduced by selecting a lesser fan speed or by turning the fan off.
3.3. Replacing the spark generator battery
Remove the ash pan cover. Locate the spark generator which is fitted near the centre of the
burner with the battery facing outwards.
Ease out the battery from the right hand end of the battery holder and remove the battery.
Replace with a good quality 1.5v AA size battery ensuring the polarity markings on the battery
correspond with the markings on the battery holder.
Check the spark generator clicks when the control linkage is depressed downwards.

3.4. Hot Surfaces
Certain parts of this appliance get very hot during normal use. It is therefore recommended
that a suitable fireguard (to BS8428:2 1 ) be used for the protection of young children and the
infirm. The shaded parts in the illustration below show the ‘Working Surfaces’ on the
appliance.
3.5. Fuel ffect Layout
You fire has been supplied with a Coal effect fuel bed. Please refer to the relevant section for
instructions on how to arrange the imitation fuels.
Constant moving of the imitation fuel will cause the fuel to disintegrate and/or cause
discolouration.
RCF Advice:
This product may use Coals containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which
are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may
cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Therefore during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA
filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire
before and after working on the fire, to ensure that the release of fibres from
these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.
We recommend that you should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking,
eating or drinking in the work area.
When replacing Components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste may
be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.
WARNING: Do not touch the fire when it is alight. The fire will remain very hot for
a long while after extinguishing.

3.8. Home Improvements
WARNING: If after installation of this fire any home improvements (e.g. double
glazing, secondary double glazing, draught proofing, fitting extractor fans, etc.)
are carried out to the property it is essential to carry out a spillage test on the fire
to ensure that the flue is still operating satisfactorily.
NOTICE: Discolouration of wall surfaces
Generally, heating appliances will create warm air convection currents that will
transfer heat to any wall surface against which they are located.
Some soft furnishings (including blown vinyl wallpapers) may not be suitable for
use where they are likely to encounter temperatures above the normal room
level. For this reason, the manufacturer’s advice should be sought before using
this type of wall covering adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining caused from convected air currents will be
increased in areas where high levels of tobacco smoke or other contaminants
exist.

Page 11
3.9. Cleaning and Care Instructions
CAUTION: Ensure that the appliance is off (including the pilot light) and has
completely cooled (off for at least 2 hours) before carrying out any cleaning or
maintenance.
RCF Advice:
This product may use Components Coals, containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this
material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Therefore during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA
filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire
before and after working on the fire, to ensure that the release of fibres from
these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.
We recommend that you should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking,
eating or drinking in the work area.
When replacing Components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste may
be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.
Black Painted Surfaces;
These surfaces should be dusted regularly and any marks removed with a soft damp cloth.
Brass or Chrome Surfaces;
These surfaces should be cleaned with a proprietary non-abrasive metal cleaner.
Remove the trim (if fitted), the fret and the ash-pan cover before cleaning.
The trim is held in place by means of four magnets at the rear of the trim. The fret and the
ash-pan cover are free standing in front of the fire.
Stainless Steel
Stainless steels need to be cleaned for aesthetic considerations and to preserve corrosion
resistance.
Oil and finger marks can be removed using a glass cleaner or preferably a mild solution of
warm water and detergent.
Scratches can be removed by gently rubbing in the direction of the grain with a 24 grit emery
cloth (or similar). Once the scratch has been completely removed the surface can then be re-
polished using 3M Scotchbrite pads - Fine Grade.
Periodically it may be necessary to coat the entire surface in order to achieve a uniform finish.
This can be achieved by applying a light coat of oil (baby oil) using a soft lint free cloth, then
buffing in line with the grain until the excess is removed.
NOT : After any cleaning process the surface must be thoroughly dried before lighting
the appliance..

Page 12
3.9.1. Painted Metal Surfaces
These surfaces should be dusted regularly and any marks removed with a soft damp cloth.
3.9.2. Care of Ceramic Backs
The ceramic fireback on this appliance must NOT be sprayed with any type of solvent-based
high temperature paint.
The very high temperatures produced within the appliance will cause the paint to bubble
and/or burn off rendering the fireback looking unsightly.
Minor surface scuffs may be treated using a water based touch up stain available at Burley
Magiglo fire retailers.
Extreme care should be taken when handling and installing products containing
ceramic interiors, so as not to cause damage.

exceeding 15kW.
BS EN 185 Chimneys - Requirements for metal chimneys - System
chimney products
BS EN 1858 Chimney – Components – Concrete flue blocks
BS 715 Metal flue boxes
It is important for correct combustion of this fire that the imitation fuel is placed in accordance
with the instructions given in this and associated booklets. Only approved imitation fuel,
available from Burley Magiglo, should be used with this appliance.
Combustible shelves or materials must only be fitted above the fire in accordance with the
instructions given in this and associated booklets.

Page 14
4.2. Flue Requirements
This appliance may be installed in fireplaces served by the following types of flue;
Class 1 Masonry Flue - A flue having no cross sectional dimension less than 175mm (7”) e.g.
225mm (9”) by 225mm (9”) Masonry chimney or 175mm (7”) diameter clay liner. Due to the
high efficiency of this appliance consideration should be given to lining any unlined masonry
flue with a flexible flue liner to prevent problems with condensation.
Class 2 – A metal flue having no cross sectional dimension less than 125mm (5”).
All metal flues must comply with the requirements of BS EN 1856 “Chimneys - Requirements
for metal chimneys - System chimney products”.
Any metal flue box must comply with BS 715 and be large enough to accept the appliance.
There must be a minimum of 5 mm clearance from any combustible material; alternatively the
box may be insulated with 25mm mineral wool or equivalent. The top of the box must be
insulated with 25mm mineral wool or equivalent
.
Class 2 - Pre-cast - A flue constructed of pre-cast concrete/terracotta blocks conforming to
BS EN 1858 or BS 1289:Part 1 and having a minimum cross sectional area of 12,272mm2 with
the smallest dimension being no less than 63mm.
All flues require a minimum height of 3 metres (1 ft). For installation in GB, please refer to
BS 5871 Part 2 for further information. For installation in IE, refer to the current edition of
I.S.813 “Domestic Gas Installations”.
A faulty flue or chimney may result in smoke and fumes entering the room.
The flue should be sound, free from obstructions and, if it has previously been used with a
solid fuel or oil fired appliance, it should be swept before installing this gas fire. The flue must
be inspected annually to ensure continued clearance of combustion products.
Any flue damper plates or obstructions etc. must be removed and no restrictor plates shall be
fitted. Where removal is not practical, the damper plate/restrictor must be fixed permanently in
the fully open position.
Note: To comply with the expression “permanently fixed in the open position”, a
mechanical fixing that prevents user intervention should be used e.g. requires the use
of tools for removal.
It is recommended that a smoke test be carried out before installation to ensure that there is
no spillage of fumes into the room. If spillage occurs this problem must be rectified before
commencing installation.
The flue must serve only one appliance.
If any terminal, cowl or chimney pot is fitted on the flue, ensure that it is suitable for use with
this gas fire and the flue system and does not restrict the cross sectional area of the flue.
Please consult the manufacturer of the terminal/cowl/chimney pot for guidance.
On completion, the installation must be thoroughly tested for spillage as detailed in the
Commissioning section of the Installation instructions.
