SECTION TWO
• The PARAGON TURBO PLUS LPG is a decorative fuel-effect gas fire designed for use in
locations,which do not have a conventional chimney. This is achieved by extracting the
products of combustion of the fire using a centrifugal fan via a ducting system connected
through an outside wall.Located behind the fret are the fan control unit, with on and off
switches, the gas control and an aeration control.
• The appliance incorporates features, which prevent the appliance being used should the flue
become blocked, or the fan fails. The effective operation of the flue is monitored by a flow
switch which, when operated, supplies gas to the burner. If a low flow condition occurs
whilst the fire is in operation the fan will automatically switch to the high-speed mode to try
and clear the restriction. If the restriction is cleared, the fan will return to the normal running
mode or, if not the gas to the burner system will be shut off.
• The aeration control works with a pull and push knob allowing the adjustment of the flame
picture, without adjusting the gas control, this provides both a realistic coke (knob pulled out)
or coal appearance (knob pushed in).
• The appliance 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. THIS DEVICE MUST NOT BE OVERRIDDEN.
• If this 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.
• When the appliance is not in use the gas control and the fan should be switched off.
SECTION THREE •• - ..
b. Lift off the ashtray cover and press the switch marked on. The red light at the base of the
control unit will illuminate and the fan should operate at the high speed. After a short
period (up to 20 seconds) the light will extinguish, the fan speed will reduce and the fire
can be lit (see Section 1.3.2 Lighting the Fire).
c. If the red light does not illuminate on initial operation, or the fan does not run press the
switch marked OFF to reset the control and wait approximately 1 min. before repeating
steps 'a'and 'b' above.
d. During normal use the red light may illuminate indicating a flue restriction (this may be
due to a flue obstruction or adverse wind conditions). In these circumstances the
fan speed will increase and if the condition is not corrected in approximately 10 seconds
the gas supply will be shut off. The control knob must be turned to the. position and the
off switch must be pressed to reset the control.Before attempting to relight the fire wait 3
minutes.

SECTION THREE
LIGHTING THE FIRE
a. Push the control knob in as far as possible on gas control.
b. Turn knob anti-clockwise until a click is heard. The knob will stop at the position marked
}} and a spark should be seen at the tip of the ignition probe. At the same time the pilot
flame should light.KEEP THE KNOB PRESSED IN FOR 20 SECONDS. Should the pilot
fail to light, turn the control knob clockwise to the. position, wait 3 minutes and repeat
the procedure.
c. After lighting the pilot flame the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly. This
will allow you to turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the position marked d:>. The pilot
flame should then ignite the main fire.
d. It is possible to adjust the height of the flames by turning the control knob between the
positions marked d:> and d). Note that the knob 'latches' in position at either end of this
movement and must be pushed in slightly before it can be turned.
NOTE: During normal use the red light may illuminate indicating a flue restriction (this may be
due to a flue obstruction or adverse wind conditions). In these circumstances the fan speed will
increase and if the condition is not corrected in approximately 10 seconds the gas supply will be
shut off. The control knob must be turned to the. position and the off switch must be pressed
to reset the control.
TURNING OFF THE FIRE
a. Depress the knob slightly and turn fully anti-clockwise to the. position.
b. Turn the fan off by pressing the switch marked 'OFF'. The fan should always be turned
off when the fire is not in use.
