ABOUT YOUR EW FA TASY PEBBLE GAS FIRE

The Fantasy range of pebble fuel-bed gas fires incorporates a unique and highly

developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose pebble layout

combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in

the construction of the fuel-bed 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 pebbles, it is non-toxic and will soon

disappear.

Discolouration to both the pebble fuelbed and fibreboards will occur when

first lighting the appliance, this is normal and these components will return

to their normal colour when the fire has fully warmed up.

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.

ABOUT YOUR EW FA TASY COAL GAS FIRE

The Fantasy 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

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 should be fitted.

(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 ( in G.B.) and that during the service the fire is removed

from the fire opening and the flue pipe visually checked for debris or blockages

which must be removed. We recommend that during the annual service,

replacement of the Oxypilot is carried out. These are conditions of the

manufacturers guarantee. After installation or during servicing a spillage

test must always be carried out.

Rubbish of any type must EVER 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.

Only the correct number and type of pebbles or coals must be used and only

complete and genuine replacement sets can be sourced from BFM Europe.

Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never

dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire. ever 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.

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 pipe. 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 section. In the event of repeated operation a GAS

SAFE registered gas installer must be called to investigate and rectify the

cause.

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.

pushing it back onto the magnets. Black painted metal parts should be gently

cleaned with a damp cloth.

CLEA I G THE CO TEMPORARY TRIM

Use only a damp cloth to clean the Contemporary trim. Abrasive cleaners,

chemical cleaning agents or any type of polish must never be used as

damage to the finish of the Contemporary trim & ashpan may result.

CLEA I G THE BRASS A D PAI TED 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. If a Brass trim was supplied with

this fire this is plated brass and this trim must only be cleaned using a clean damp

cloth. Metal polishes must not be used on these trims. If a stainless steel trim

was supplied, then these should only be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth also.

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.

Abrasive cleaners, chemical cleaning agents or any type of polish must

never be used as damage to the finish may result.
