The EF5000 electronic control system is designed to work within the
temperature range of 0°C to 70°C, with a humidity level that is non
condensing. This is to ensure safe operation of the electronic and
gas control system.
If the fireplace is subjected to an environment with temperatures
very close to or exceeding these temperature limits (irrespective of if
the fireplace is on or off at the time) the fireplace may not start up
until the temperature returns back to within the operating range.
To remedy this the environmental temperature should be addressed
and the fireplace control system given time to adjust accordingly.
The fireplace should then function correctly.

Basic Operation
On / Off
Flame Up
Flame Down
The EF5000 is operated by the touch control located on the right hand
side outer edge of the fascia. The basic operations possible from the
touch control are ON/OFF and manual adjustment of the flame height.
Before operating the fire, switch the Battery Isolating Switch on.
To turn on the fire push the ON/OFF button on the touch control.
The pilot will start sparking and gas will start flowing to the pilot
which should light and be visible in a few seconds.
The ignition process takes a duration of 12 seconds. No other button
should be pressed during those 12 seconds.
After the pilot successfully ignites, the fireplace will switch to HIGH
flame mode automatically.
Ignition:
In the event of the pilot not igniting after 12 seconds press the
ON/OFF button. This will turn the valve off completely, then restart
the ignition process.

Basic Operation
The EF5000 has 4 flame positions: PILOT flame only, LOW burner
flame, MEDIUM burner flame and HIGH burner flame.
While the fire is on, push the FLAME UP button or the FLAME
DOWN button to increase or decrease the flame height.
If the FLAME UP button is pushed while the fire is on HIGH burner
flame position, nothing will happen. Similarly if the FLAME DOWN
button is pushed while fire is in the PILOT flame position, nothing will
happen.
Adjusting the flame height:
To turn the fire off, you must push the ON/OFF button. This will shut
down the gas flow to the pilot flame and both burners.
Turning off the fire:
It is recommended that the fire be switched off by the isolating switch
when not in use

Basic Operation

Removing the Fascia
The EF5000 Stainless Steel fascia is attached to the fire by four
'hooks' on the corners of the fascia. If you need to remove the fascia,
first give the fascia a brief lift upwards as shown.
Now pull the fascia towards you, and rest the Fascia on the ground
. while you unplug the two cords connecting the fascia to the fire
Reverse these steps to re-fit the Fascia, ensuring the two connections
are correctly plugged in by testing the fire.

Replacing Batteries
The EF5000 uses 3x D sized batteries, To access the battery pack you
will need to remove the fascia (as described on previous page).
When the fascia has been removed, you will find the battery pack
located in the lower middle of the fire, situated inside the control box.
Remove the cap of the battery pack, turn it anti-clockwise until it stops,
then pull. The batteries inside should slide out.
Once the new batteries have been placed inside, (with the dimple
facing outwards) replace the cap and turn it clockwise until it stops, to
seal it.

Cleaning your EF5000
Note: Always ensure the fireplace is cold before starting any cleaning
or maintenance.
To clean the glass and stones in the front stone tray, first remove the
stones from inside the tray and the glass will then be free to slide
upwards.
The glass can be cleaned using standard window cleaner. The quartz
stones can be washed using soapy water
To clean the weather cover warm soapy water should be used.
Cleaning of the ceramic stones and burners can be carried out using a
brush and a dry cloth
Fascia:
The Fascia is the visible surround of your Escea Gas Fireplace and
must be treated carefully to prevent unsightly marks from tarnishing
the visual quality of the product. Some marking over time is inevitable
however, so the following directions will assist you in getting the
maximum enjoyment from your Escea Gas Fireplace.
Never ever rub the fascia.
The outside of an Escea Fascia must only be cleaned with a soft
microfibre cloth. If heavier cleaning is required for the likes of grease
or stubborn fingerprint removal we recommend the use of Steel Kleen
brand Ezi Wipes. These wipes have been tested by Escea technicians
and produce very satisfying results, when used correctly. Instructions

Cleaning your EF5000
For Stainless Steel Fascias:
1. Ensure that the Gas Fireplace is off, and that the fascia is cold.
2. Using the gloves provided with your fascia, remove the towelette
from the sachet and wipe the fascia with even, straight strokes.
3. Make sure your strokes follow the direction of the grain or brush
finish. Wiping across the grain can leave small scratches.
4. The wipe will leave a very fine film over the fascia, ensure this film is
distributed evenly.
5. If the film is applied too heavily and is quite visible, you can remove
the excess by gently wiping dry with a microfibre cloth. Ensure your
strokes still follow the direction of the grain or brush finish.
6. Ensure that no film is applied to the glass of your Escea Gas
Fireplace. If applied accidentally, wipe off with an absorbent microfibre
cloth.
For Powder Coated Fascias:
1. Ensure that the Gas Fireplace is off, and that the fascia is cold to the
touch.
2. Using the gloves provided with your fascia, remove the towelette
from the sachet and wipe the fascia with even, straight strokes.
3. Because the wipe leaves a protective film over the fascia, the entire
fascia will need to be wiped to avoid seeing a difference in surface
texture. Ensure this film is distributed evenly.
4. If the film is applied too heavily and is quite visible, you can remove
the excess by gently wiping dry with a microfibre cloth
5. Ensure that no film is applied to the glass of your Escea Gas
Fireplace. If applied accidentally, wipe off with an absorbent microfibre
cloth.
