For your convenience the controls on your new Flame Fire are situated under the cover
on the top right-hand side of the heater.
All necessary adjustments to the operation of your heater can be made with these controls.
•IGNITION

safety device and starts the electronic spark. The centre burner
will ignite. Check that the burner has lit and continue to hold the
button down for up to 15 seconds. The spark will continue while
the button is held down.
If the burner does not remain alight, push the button again and
release it. This will return it to the “OFF” position. Wait 30
seconds, then repeat the ignition procedure.
(The ignition button must be in the “OFF” position before attempt-
ing re-ignition).
•TO INCREASE THE HEAT
Press the control buttons in order from front to rear, this will ignite additional burners as
shown in the diagram.
There is no need to hold the buttons for 15 seconds when increasing the heat.

However, if switched off, it cannot be relit unless power is available.
The appliance is protected by an overheat switch, and may cut out if used on the HIGH setting.
OPERATION
•FAN OPERATION
On the LOW and MEDIUM heater settings, the fan can be operated on the LOW speed or
OFF.
NOTE: When the heater is turned on, there will be a delay in the operation of the fan. This
ensures that a cold draft does not occur while the heater is warming up.
When the heater is turned off, the fan will continue to run until the heater has cooled down.

pose other than heating.

3. The heater must not be installed where curtains or other combustible materials could come
into contact with it. In some cases, curtains may need restraining.
See below for minimum clearances required.
4. The heater is not designed to be built into bookcases or shelves or any combustible
opening.
5. Check that room ventilation complies with local regulations.
6. Check that an EARTHED power point is within 1500mm. of the right hand side of the
heater.
7. The heater does not require any additional hearth or floor protection.

FLUEING

•RUN GAS SUPPLY
For pipe sizing, refer to your local gas installation
codes.
Copper supply should be run leaving a flared connection
at the position shown.
PURGE SUPPLY OF AIR AND SWARF.
All foreign materials such as filings must be purged
from the gas supply, as they may cause the gas valve to
malfunction.
Connect and tighten union.
On completion of work, check for gas leaks.
GAS CONNECTION
• This heater requires a minimum 3m. flue.
• Position the heater.
• Suspend a plumbline from the ceiling to
the centre of the flue socket.
• Mark the centre of the flue in the ceiling.
• Make a small hole in the ceiling and double
check that the flue system will be at least
25 mm clear of combustible materials.
• Cut the hole for the flue.
• Fit the ceiling plate, flue and decorative
cover.
The decorative cover must be able to slide up
to give access to the flue spigot. The inner
flue must be supported independently of the
heater but allowing sufficient movement to
allow connections to and disconnections from
the flue spigot.

LOG INSTALLATION
The logset is packed inside the heater and the packaging must be removed prior to
installing the logset in its correct position.
•Open both side panels.
•Remove fastenings on both sides of the
top glass retainer.
Lift retainer away from heater.
•Loosen screws on bottom glass retainer.
Carefully lift glass out of bottom channel.
•Carefully remove log packaging.
The logset consists of a Main Log which has four pins on the top, for the location of the Top and Right Logs
and two holes underneath for location onto the pins inside the heater.
Place the logset into the heater ensuring that the locating pins enter the two locating holes on
the bottom face of the logset, if not already attached.
Carefully position the Top Log and the Right Log on the locating pins of the Main Log as shown.
Gently place loose ember bed material in front of the front log. Do not pour as dust particles from
the plastic bag may block the burner ports. Level it with a pencil or screwdriver and remove excess ma-
terial. Note: The ember bed material must be placed after the logs are fitted. If the logs are to be removed
for any reason, the ember bed material must be removed first and replaced after the logs are refitted. Any
material that prevents the logs sitting flat on the burner top can upset the burning pattern and performance
of the heater.
• Replace glass and top glass retainer, tighten bottom glass retainer screws.
• Note: Fit glass so that the join/gap in the glass seal is at the bottom.
•Take care not to damage seals.
• Reinstall side panels.
Top Log Right Log
Main Log
Note: When first lighting the heater, the logs need to be burnt in, which may take approximately 2
hours. The flame colour may change after the initial burning in period.
