ABOUT YOUR NEW KINDER BLACK MAGIC GAS FIRE
The Kinder Black Magic 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
obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.

opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages
which must be removed. The chimney should also be checked to ensure clear-
ance of flue products. We recommend that during the annual service,
replacement of the Oxypilot is carried out. These are conditions of the

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.

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.
The fire must only be operated with the Black Magic trim supplied with the product.
O ERATING THE FIRE
The controls are located behind the ashpan cover which is situated behind the
Ashpan / Fender. The controls, comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow, a
flame control lever to adjust the look of the flame picture and a push button piezo
igniter. To light the fire proceed as follows:-
1) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to
reach the pilot.
2) Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the pilot
does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. The
pilot flame’s reflection can be seen by looking at the left hand side front of
the trim. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the
control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :-
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach
the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in behind the front ceramic coal formation on
the left hand side. This will light the pilot flame. When the pilot has lit, continue to
hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if
the pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
3) After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high
position and the main burner will light.
4) The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give
the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted to give the most
pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.

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 previous sec-
tion. In the event of repeated operation a CORGI registered gas installer
must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.
