The fire and flue should be checked on an annual basis to ensure all of the product of combustion are entering the flue
and that there is no excessive build up of soot. The frequency of service will depend on usage, but MUST be carried out
at least once annually. Servicing must be carried out by a GAS SAFE registered person.
Cleaning of the coals/pebbles may be carried out by following the instructions given in the Installation section. The
Installation instructions carry full servicing details for the use of the installer.
If debris from the flue or other foreign matter is found on the fire it may indicate a need for servicing. Do not use the
fire until the source of the debris has been found and rectified. Air vents (where fitted) should be checked periodically
to ensure they are free from obstruction.
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances oper-
ating in the same space or room, and the results of a spillage test must be taken into consideration when assessing
ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by your registered installer.
For Republic of Ireland, ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side of the fuel bed. The fire fea-
tures a ‘twin spark’ ignition system to aid lighting, Push the control knob in fully and turn anti-clockwise through both
of the SPARK positions, keeping fully depressed, hold there for a few seconds. If the fire
has not been used for some time, hold the knob in this position for longer, to allow any
air in the pipes to be purged. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark clicks
to the nine o’clock position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise,
and repeat. When the pilot lights after one of the two sparks, keep the knob depressed
in the nine o’clock position for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and
the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes
before repeating the ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-
clockwise to the high position. The main burner should light after a few seconds. To
decrease the setting to LOW, push the knob in slightly and turn the control knob clock-
wise to the low setting. To turn to the pilot only position from the HIGH or LOW posi-
tions, press the control knob in, and return to the nine o’clock position and release. To
turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.
The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side
of the fuel bed.
Push the slide control knob fully downwards to the SPARK position, and hold there for
approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. When
the pilot light has established, move the slide control knob upwards to the LOW flame
setting. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the
ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, move the slide control knob upwards to the HIGH flame set-
ting. The fire can also be set to operate anywhere between HIGH and LOW by moving the
control knob to an intermediate position.
To turn the fire OFF, move the slide control knob upwards fully to the position marked
‘O’.
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then
several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could
be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the pre-
vious section. A grommet seal may also be missing from the firebox causing abnormal draught to shut down the pilot.
Call your installer to check seals are properly fitted. If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system
may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check the flue and ventilation and carry out any
remedial work required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the flue system is passed as safe.
Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure that the fire is OFF and completely cold. Debris that may
form on the firebed should be periodically removed by a competent person. Large deposits could indicate deterioration
of the flue. This should be repaired by a competent person, and the fire serviced before further use.
FIREFRONT - Any dust accumulating in the firefront may be removed using a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth. Heavy stains
may be removed by using a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Brass parts of the firefront may be cleaned using
a suitable brass cleaner. Replace the front centrally against the fire after cleaning.
PAINTED AREAS - These can be cleaned using a dry cloth.
