The GAS SAFE REGISTERED ENGINEER commissioned to install this appliance is
wholly responsible for deciding the suitability of any flue arrangement to operate in
conjunction with this gas appliance.
Points regarding the ‘Fire-bed’
•The stove is supplied with ceramic matrices and coals/logs, which are to be
arranged by the fitter in strict accordance with the installation instructions. The
purchaser must not alter the layout of the coals/logs or add any extra coals/logs.
•The coals/logs used in this stove to produce a realistic coal/log effect are made
from ceramic fibre based material. The ‘coals/logs’ may change colour after use,
which is quite normal.
•Replacement ceramic matrices and coals/logs must be sourced from your
approved HS Gas stockist.
Operating the Appliance
It is strongly recommended that these instructions are read and thoroughly
understood in advance of operating this appliance.
Gas Control Cover Plate
To gain access to the gas control valve, the cover plate
must first be opened. The cover plate opens from the
left and swings out, away from the stove to expose the
gas controls. (See Diagram 1)
Burner Controls
The gas control valve is situated on the left hand side of
the appliance, looking from the front, next to the front
left hand leg.
Pilot Assembly
The pilot assembly is positioned at the front of the
burner tray on the right hand side.
Opening the Stove Doors (If Applicable)
This appliance has been designed to run safely with the doors open.
However the doors will get hot when the stove is lit.
Never attempt to open or close the doors with bare hands!!!
We would recommend the use of a quality heat resistant glove or gauntlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This appliance is fitted with an ‘oxygen depletion system’ (ODS) which constantly
measures the level of oxygen in the room. If the concentration of oxygen drops below
a safe level the appliance will automatically shut-off.
The appliance is also equipped with a sensor to monitor the function of the flue (TTB
Switch). Should the flue lack sufficient draw to safely evacuate the products of
combustion the fire will automatically shut off.
If the appliance repeatedly cuts out after being restarted, (as detailed in the ‘Lighting
the Appliance’ section) a GAS SAFE registered engineer should be contacted to
examine the appliance and installation.
Lighting the Appliance
Lighting the Pilot Flame
The gas control valve is fitted with two control knobs (Shown in Diagram 2). The knob on
the right (looking from the front of the stove) is the ON/OFF and pilot control (Shown as
Knob A in Diagram 2).
Turn the knob slightly anti-clockwise from the off position to the ignition position until
reaching the stop. Press the knob down and hold for approximately 5 seconds.
Continue pressing down while turning the knob further anti-clockwise to the PILOT position.
An audible ‘click’ can be heard which creates an ignition spark. Continue to hold down for
approximately 10 seconds after the pilot burner flame has been established. (If the pilot
does not light then repeat the procedure listed above).
Upon lighting release the control knob and turn further anti-clockwise until the stop is
reached. This is the ON position (both Pilot and main gas flow).

Adjusting between High and Low Output Settings (Main burner).
Make sure that the ON/OFF control knob (Knob A) is set to the ‘ON’ position and that
the pilot flame has been established. The left hand control knob (Knob B in Diagram
2), controls the stove output. Turning this knob anti-clockwise will increase the flame
height and the stove output. Turning the knob clockwise will decrease the flame height
and the output of the stove right down to minimum and then to ‘Off’.
The main burner output does not have to be re-set every time the stove is used. Once
set at the required output, it can be left in that position allowing the right-hand control
(Knob A) to ignite the burner to the specified burner output.
The stove should always be returned to the ‘Pilot’ or ‘Off’ position
(Using control knob ‘A’) if it is to be left unattended.
Important Note!
It will take approximately 20 – 30 minutes for the fire bed to take on its proper
appearance of glowing red coals/logs and yellow flames.
WARNING!
Should the burner extinguish for any reason, allow at least 3 minutes to elapse
before attempting to re-ignite.
Returning the Stove back to the Permanent Pilot position.
The right hand control knob (Knob A in diagram 2) can be turned from the ‘ON’ position
clockwise to the ‘PILOT’ position.
Turning the Appliance Off Completely
Turn the right hand knob (Knob A in diagram 2) clockwise from the ‘ON’ position to the
‘PILOT’ position, lightly depress the control knob and continue turning clockwise until
the ‘OFF’ position is reached.
NOTE!!
Condensation may form on the glass and other surfaces when the appliance is first lit.
This is perfectly normal and will evaporate in a short period of time. To
reduce the amount of condensation on start-up; the pilot flame can be left alight.
Remote Control – (Optional)
For the remote control to function, the pilot flame must first be established.
The remote control will control the flame height (heat output) of the main burner but it
will not light the pilot flame.

Operating the Remote
DIAGRAM 3
The remote control can be used to adjust the flame height and heat output of the
appliance. The larger the flames the more heat is generated. The flame height can be
adjusted using the ‘Increase’ and ‘Decrease’ buttons shown in Diagram 3.
The maximum or minimum setting is achieved when an audible clicking can be heard
coming from the stove.
The temperature display screen is situated at the top of the remote. This displays the
room temperature in either Celsius (
o
C) or Fahrenheit (
o
F). To change the units being
displayed hold down both of the buttons on the remote for a few seconds.
Batteries
The remote handset is powered by a 9V PP3 battery and should be replaced when the
top right hand corner of the temperature display panel shows a BATT sign. The battery
connections are located in the compartment on the back of the handset.
4x1.5V AA alkaline batteries power the receiver and should be connected to the unit in
the compartment under the labelled panel.
