ATHENA R.S. LPG
Room Sealed Inset Live Fuel Effect Gas Fire
PRODUCT No. A99011
G.C. No. 32-170-18
It has a balanced flue system which takes air for combustion from the outside and discharges products of combustion to the
outside. It must be mounted on an external wall and can stand on a non-combustible hearth or suitable fire surround. There are four
heat settings operated by turning the control knob which is located at the top right hand side of the fire. The burner system is
designed to give various flame effects at the respective heat settings.
The electronic ignition is operated by pushing control knob down to the ignition position to light the pilot. It has a thermo electric
flame supervision device for safety. Use only the coal bed supplied with this fire. Do not use any other material or burn any rubbish
on the fire. Do not use the fire with a broken or damaged fuel bed or with a broken or cracked glass.

2. The fire must be installed and serviced regularly in accordance with the installation/servicing instructions, the rules in
force and Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 (as amended), by a competent person e.g. British Gas or a
CORGI member.
3. The glass door becomes very hot when the fire is in use and must not be touched. The glass door conforms with the
requirements of BS 1945 : 1991 and satisfies the Heating Appliances (Fireguards) (Safety) Regulations 1991. The door is to
prevent risk of fire or injury from burns and it shall not be permanently removed or the fire used without it fitted.
IT DOES NOT GIVE FULL PROTECTION FOR YOUNG CHILDREN, THE INFIRM OR THE ELDERLY.
Extra security can be provided by fitting a fireguard which complies with BS 6539 : 1984 (fireguards suitable for use with
solid fuel appliances) or BS 6778 (fireguards for use with portable, free-standing or wall mounted appliances).
WARNING: The glass is of a special heat resisting type, and if damaged must be replaced with the proper spare.
5. After the fire has been installed you may wish to fix a shelf of combustible material,
e.g. veneered chipboard, above. This is quite acceptable provided the dimensions
shown in the table below are used. For deeper shelves allow 15mm (Slain)increase
in shelf clearance for every 25mm (1in) additional shelf depth.
6. On the outside wall, the flue terminal (and terminal guard if fitted) must be clear of
obstructions (as for wall heaters).

7. The distance between the sides of the fire and any permanent fittings must be at least 50mm (2in). This permits proper
access to the case fixing screws.
8. Clothes etc. must not be draped over the fire. Curtains must be 150mm (6in) clear at the top of the heater and 50mm (2in)
at the sides. If wall mounted do not obstruct the underside of the fire.
9. "Soft furnishings" such as blown vinyl wallpaper are easily affected by heat and may become discoloured if fitted close to a
heating appliance. Please bear this in mind when installing a heater/fire and when decorating.
The control knob is located on the right hand side of the fire and is shown in Fig. 1.
WARNING: If the pilot light is extinguished either intentionally or unintentionally, no attempt should be made to relight the gas
until at least three minutes have elapsed.
§"
TO LIGHT THE FIRE: Push the control knob down to untill it stops at the pilot position marked PILOT (Fig 2.). Hold the knob
pressed down at this position. While the knob is being pushed down the electronic ignition operates to light the pilot and this
can be confirmed by looking through the glass to the right hand side of the fuel bed. If the pilot is lit, hold down the control knob
for a further 10 seconds before releasing. The pilot should remain alight and the control knob will spring up to the position
marked MED (Fig 3.) and the main burner will light. If the pilot does not remain alight, or has not ignited, slide the control knob
back to the OFF position (Fig 1.) and repeat the above procedure.
DO NOT slide the control knob from the PILOT position directly to the FULL, HIGH, OR ECON positions, always allow the
control knob to spring up to the Med position before selecting any other position.
TO TURN OFF: Slide the control knob up to the OFF position (Fig 1.).
WARNING: If you want to relight a hot fire wait three minutes before doing so.

l-.- .H.E.A.T_S.E.T.T.IN.G.S I
There are four heat settings MED, ECON, HIGH, and FUll (See Fig 1.). Setting MED provides gas to the full burner at a low level.
Setting FUll gives the full heat output. Setting HIGH gives approximately half full gas, but only to the centre section of the burner.
You therefore see a different flame picture but still see the pilot flame on the right. Setting ECON is the lowest heat setting and
gives gas at a low rate to the centre burner section. Never slide the knob quickly from PilOT to HIGH or ECON, always allow the
control knob to spring up to the MED position before selecting any other setting.
[
NOTE: Abrasive cleaners should never be used.
All cleaning should be carried out when the fire is cold. As the fire is used, the bright metal finish around the fuel bed will darken to
enhance the fuel effect. There is no need to use metal polish on these parts as the discoloration is normal. Generally the fire would
only need dusting. Any painted surface or metal part may be cleaned with a damp cloth. Any stains on the glass can be remove
with a non-abrasive cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. The fuel effect components may be cleaned with a soft brush. It is
recommended that a vacuum cleaner is not used.
TO REMOVE THE GLASS DOOR ••
--- 1
Remove the outer case by lifting it up and away from the locating hooks (Fig 4.). The glass door is retained by ten wing nuts and
after removing these you may slide the glass door forwards and away from the fire.
The coal bed is a one piece assembly and may be removed for cleaning or exchanging. To do this first remove the glass door as
previously instructed then lift the coal bed straight out. Take care as the coal bed is a fragile component. When replacing ensure
that the end cut out of the coal bed is positioned over the pilot on the right hand side of the fire (Fig 5.).

REPLACING THE IGNITION BATTERY I
If the ignition system fails to ignite the pilot flame then the battery may need replacing. It should be replaced with the same type
of battery (Size 9V MN1604 or 6LR61). To replace the battery, first remove the outer case as shown in Fig 4. The battery can
now be located at the bottom of the fire, fitted into the ignition unit. Remove the old battery from the ignition unit by pulling it out
towards the right. Replace with the new battery.
Note: The terminals of the battery are of different shapes to prevent incorrect connection. If it does not fit, try it the other way
round. ._....:J
