ABOUT

YOUR

NEW

OASIS

The

Kinder

Oasis

fuel

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

hard

ceramic

material

in

the

construction

of

the

fuel

bed

components

ensures

long

and

trouble

free

operation.

The

fire

incorporates

a

flame

control

which

allows

you

to

adjust

the

flame

appearance

to

give

the

desired

combination

of

flames

and

glow.

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

ab'le

to

obtain

the

most

effective

and

safe

operation

of

your fire.

The

condition

of

the

coals

should

be

checked

and

if

necessary

the

whole

set

should

be

replaced

with

a

genuine

replacement

set.

The

burner

assembly

is

designed

to

be

removed

as

a

unit

for

ease

of

access.

After

any

servicing

work

a

test

must

always

be

carried

out*

Rubbish

of

any

type

must

NEVER

be

thrown

onto

the

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

coals

must

be

used

and

only

complete

and

genuine

replacement

sets

must

be

used.

Always

keep

furniture

and

combustible

materials

well

clear

of

the

fire

and

never

dry

clothing

or

items

either

on

or

near

to

the

fire.

Never

use

aerosols

or

flammable

cleaning

products

near

to

the

fire

when

it

is

in

use.

The

hard

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.

The

fire

must

only

be

operated

with the

brass

fender

and

ash

pan

cover.

These

must

always

be

in

position

when

the

fire

is

used.

OPERATING

THE

FIRE

There

are

two

types

of

control

for

the

fire.

a

high

level

switch

and

a

hand

held

remote control

unit.

There

is

also

an

aeration

lever

(situated

behind

the

ash

pan

cover)

which

slides

from

left

to right.

The

left

hand

position

gives

maximum

radiant

heat

and

output

whereas

the

right

hand

position

gives

more

flame

but

slightly

less

glow.

To

light

the

Fire

proceed

as

follows:-

1)

Press

the

rocker

switch

marked

"I"

down

to

turn

the

power

on

to the

fire,

followed

by

the

button

with

an

upward

arrow.

(there

will

be

a

continuous

sparking

noise

until

the

pilot

ignites).

2)

The

fire will

now

go

through

a

testing

process,

once

the

tests

are

complete

the

fire will

ignite

(approximately

15

seconds).

It

is

recommended

that

for

most

efficient

performance

the

fire

is

allowed

to

warm

up

for

a

few

minutes

with

the

flame

adjuster

in

the

left

hand

positionand

the

fire

in

the

high

setting.

If

the

fire

fails

to

light

turn

off

the

power

supply

to

fire

by pressing

the

rocker

switch

to

the

position marked

"0"

Then

Repeat

as

above.

3)

To

alter

the

flame

setting,

press

the

down

arrow

on

the

high

switch.

4)

To

turn

the

fire

off,

press

the

"0"

button

on

the

high

level

switch.

Within

the

electronic

controls

contained

in

this

appliance

is

a

temperature

sensor

which

is

used

to

control the

heat

input

between

the

high

(6.9kW)

heat

input

and

the

low

(4.2kW)

settings,

via

a

staged reduction

in

heat

input.

This

sensor

will

control

the

point

at

which

the

fire

regulates

between

the

high

and

low

settings,

but

the

point

at which

the

appliance

switches

between

high

and

low

is

dependent

upon

many

factors

such

as

room

temperature,

the

time

the

appliance

has

been

running,

flue

performance

etc.

If

all

8

L.E.D.s

are

illuminated

on

the

high

level

switch,

the

fire

will

always

run

at

the

high

rate

heat

input

{6.9kW),

irrespective

of

room

temperature

etc.

If

it

is

set

so

that

just

2

is

illuminated,

it

will

always

run

on

the

low

rate

heat

input

(4.2kW)

again,

irrespective

of

temperature

etc.

The

switches

between

heat

inputs

via

the

number

of

L.E.D.s

illuminated

on

the

membrane

switch

is

dependent

upon

the

factors

stated

in the

first

paragraph

above,

therefore

we

recommend

that

the

fire

is

adjusted

via

the

remotecontrol

or

the

high

to

maintain

a

level

of

heat

input

&

temperature that

SPILLAGE

MONITORING

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.

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

In

the

event

07

repeated

operation

a

specialist

must

be

called

to

investigate

and

rectify

the

cause.

CLEANING

WARNING

Before

attempting

any

cleaning

operation

ensure

that

the fire

has

been

allowed

to

fully

cool.

CLEANlNG

THE

BRASS

AND

PAINTED

METAL

PARTS

The

brass

trim

fitted

to

this

fire

is

anodised

and

may discolour

with

use. However, this

part

can

be

regularly cleaned using

a

damp cloth

and

will

then

retain its looksfor

the

life of

the

fire.

The

fender

and cover

(if

supplied

with

the

fire)

are

solid

brass

and

may

be

cleaned

using

a

suitable

proprietary

metal polish. If

you

purchased

an

alternative

fender from

your

supplier

it

is important

to

find

out

whether

it

is

lacquered

before

cleaning

it.

Pn

this

case,

your

supplier will

be

able

to

advise

you

on

the

best

cleaning

method.

The

brasstrim 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,

After

using

any

metal

polish

or

cleaners

the

fire should not

be

used

for

15

minutes

or

so

to

allow

any

cleaning

solvents

to

evaporate.

Black

painted

metal

parts

should

be

gently

cleaned

with

a

damp

cloth.

Abrasive

cleaners,

chemical

cleaning

agents

or

any

type

of

polish

must

never

be

used

as

damage

to

the

paint

may

result.

CLEANING

THE

FUEL

BED

We

do

not

recommend

cleaning

the

fuel

bed

other

than

at

annual

service

intervals.

If

carbon

or

soot

accumulates

on

the

coals

or

fuel

bed,

this

is

easily

and

best

removed

by

moving

the

aeration

control

to

the

left

hand

position

and

running

the

fire

on

maximum

for

approximately

one

hour.

This will effectively

burn

off

any

deposits

without

damaging

the

coals.

If

coals

are

found

to

be

very

dirty or

are

damaged

they

should

be

replacedwith

a

complete

set

of

replacement

coals

of

the

correct type.

The

old coals should

be

placed

in sealed

plastic

bag

and

disposed

of

as

normal

household

waste.

Coals

are

made

from

a

form

of

refractoryceramic

fibre

and

should

be

handled

carefully

to

avoid

generating

dust,

as

this

may

be

harmful

if

in

haled.

As

with

some

other

fibrous

materials,

handling

coals

without

gloves

could

cause

skin

irritation.

None

of

the

fuel

bed

components

or

coals

must

be

washed

or

exposed

to

any

cleaning

agents

or

water.

Any

damaged

parts

must

be

replaced

by

contacting

your

dealer

or telephoning

CFM

Kinder

LTD

on

the

number

stated

on

the

rear

cover

of

this

book.

Coals

must

only

be

replaced

with

a

complete

and

genuine

replacement

set

and

the

fire

must

never

be

run

with

the

wrong

number

or

damaged

coals.

The

fuel

bed

must

be

carefully

reassembled

asstated

inthe

to

report

the

exact

problem

before

the

visit

from

a

fault conditions can

be

detected

and

indicated

by means

of
