INTRODUCTION
The Paragon P6 as been designed and tested to the requirements of EN 613 and is suitable for
use in GB (Great Britain) and IE (Ireland).
The PARAGON P6 incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot, and main burner
low and high settings.
Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a low frequency noise may be heard, this may
be more noticeable on the low setting.
The Paragon P6 incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen Depletion System, which
constantly monitors the oxygen in the room and will cause the fire to switch off if the oxygen level
reduces, for instance due to insufficient ventilation or a blocked flue.
If this regularly occurs do not attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer has
checked it, the problem may not be due to lack of air or a defective flue.
To obtain an authentic fire sound, a noise will be noticeable from the burner.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The appliance is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar) only.
The chimney or flue (unless new or previously used with a gas appliance) shall be swept before
installation if it has been used for solid fuel.
Failure to install appliance correctly could lead to prosecution.
In GB (Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. Gas Safe-
registered, in accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS,
The Building Regulations (or The Building Regulations (Scotland) or The Building Regulations
(Northern Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, if appropriate.
In IE (Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in accordance
with the current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building Regulations and
the current ETCI rules for electrical installation, if appropriate.
The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS 1945 (1997) however; a
fireguard conforming to BS6539 (1997) must be used to protect young children, the elderly or
infirm.
The appliance MUST NOT be used with the glass safety screen removed or if it is damaged or
cracked.
During initial firing, an odour may be evident. This is the starch binder used during the
manufacture of the fibre components of the fire, and there are no harmful effects produced.
During the warming up and cooling down of the appliance you may experience some expansion
and contraction noises. These are normal.
During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel
bed. This is quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive
black staining does occur it may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be
checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
Due to the nature of the high gloss finish on the outer trim, you may experience some markings in
the form of a film. This is quite normal and can be wiped off using a dry clean cloth when the fire
is cold causing no damage to the trim.
* The top of the outer firebox is not a working surface and therefore you should avoid placing
items on top*
