INTRODUCTION
This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the local and national/European
standards in force. Particular attention shall be given to the requirements regarding
ventilation. Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.
Failure to install the appliance correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims and
lead to prosecution. Please refer to the methods of installation within this handbook.
Our policy is one of continuous development and improvement. Specifications and
illustrations may change subsequent to publication.
PROVISION OF VENTILATION
The use of a gas appliance results in a production of heat and moisture in a room in which it
is installed. Ensure the room is well ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor fan).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
The room containing the fire should have an air supply in accordance with local and
national/European standards.
POSITION
This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and
in a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air
vents are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
IMPORTANT
•THIS APPLIANCE IS SUITABLE FOR USE WITH EITHER LIQUIFIED
PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) OR NATURAL GAS AS SPECIFIED AND SHOULD NOT
BE USED ON ANY OTHER GAS
•AN APPLIANCE FOR LP GAS SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED IN A ROOM OR
INTERNAL SPACE BELOW GROUND LEVEL. E.G. IN A BASEMENT.

8
OPERATION
Ensure the gas cylinder is turned on.
In the event of a gas smell, turn off at the cylinder and contact supplier.
IGNITION
•Press in the control knob (See Fig. 2 - Control Positions)
•Rotate anti-clockwise, until the spark igniter clicks twice.
•Ensure the pilot and main burner flames are established.
•If ignition fails then return the knob to ‘OFF’ position and repeat
the above sequence holding the knob depressed for longer.
•Once the pilot and main burner are lit, keep the knob pressed
for approximately fifteen seconds then release.
OPERATION
•Light the fire (follow ignition sequence above)
•After ignition the setting of the fire is on LOW
(See Fig. 2 - Control Positions)
•To adjust to HIGH setting, rotate the knob fully anti-clockwise
until it comes to a stop.
•To turn OFF, rotate the knob fully clockwise until the line on
the knob is adjacent to ‘O’ on the control panel.
IMPORTANT
IF FOR ANY REASON THE FLAME SHOULD GO OUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-
IGNITE THE BURNER FOR AT LEAST THREE MINUTES.
IMPORTANT
AN ODS SYSTEM (OXYGEN DEPLETION SENSOR) IS FITTED AS STANDARD,
WHICH WILL EXTINGUISH THE FLAME IF EVACUATION OF THE COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS IS INTERRUPTED. IF REPEATED OPERATION OF THE ODS SYSTEM
OCCURS, TURN OFF THE GAS AND CONTACT YOUR DEALER.

9
OPERATION
The burner on this appliance has fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. Depending on
the gas being used, the burners should flame as follows: -
Propane - The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow
tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then
slightly increases as the burner heats up.
Natural gas - The flames should burn with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow tips.
DO'S AND DON'TS
DO read the user instructions carefully before using the appliance for the first time.
DO allow the fire to burn off for one hour to expel any smells or lubricants.
DO clean the appliance regularly with a damp cloth, only when the fire has cooled down.
DO check that controls are in the off position when finished.
DO have the appliance serviced at least once a year.
DO check periodically that the air vents and flue are clear from obstructions.
DO NOT allow children near the fire when in use.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or powders that will scratch the surfaces of the fire.
DO NOT during operation touch any parts of the fire other than the control knob.
LEAKS
If a smell of gas becomes apparent, the supply should be turned off at the cylinder
IMMEDIATELY. Extinguish naked lights including cigarettes and pipes. Do not operate
electrical switches. Open all doors and windows to disperse any gas escape.
Butane/Propane gas is heavier than air; any escaping gas will therefore collect at a low level.
The strong unpleasant smell of gas will enable the general area of the leak to be detected.
Check that the gas is not escaping from an unlit appliance
IMPORTANT
•NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS WITH A NAKED FLAME
•NEVER USE SOAPY WATER FOR LEAK DETECTION, SALT AND OTHER
INGREDIENTS IN SOAP CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE PRECISION
COMPONENTS OF THE FIRE
