OPERATION OF THE FIRE
1. This fire is controlled by a 4 position gas tap mounted on the front leg of the appliance
(see Fig 1). In additionto the OFFpositionthere is a pilot light and 2 heat control
settings.
The flame sensing device & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that will shut
downthe appliance inthe event ofabnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a
substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if the pilot flame goes out
due to lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If the device starts to shut off the gas frequently, get expert advice.
The system incorporates a probe that senses that the heat from the pilot flame is correct.
If this probe is cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless the control knob is kept
depressed at the PILOT/IGN position.
If for any reason, the flames go out whenthe fire is hot orifthe fire is turnedoffwhen
hot, always wait at least five minutes before attempting to relight.
2. To Light The Pilot
Depress the controlknob and turnanticlockwise towards the PILOT/IGN position.A spark should be generatedat the
pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen below the dress coal at the front left
side.
Keep the button at the PILOT/IGN position for a further ten seconds. This will prevent the flame sensing device from
shutting offthe gas while its probe warms up.
If the pilot does not ignite instantly, repeat procedure until ignition is achieved.
NOTE: If after10 seconds pilot ignitionhas not occurred,turnthe controlknob back to the OFFposition, wait for 3
minutes and then repeat the ignition procedure.
3. Lighting The Main Burner
Once the pilot light is established, the main burner can be lit by depressing and turning the control knob anticlockwise to
the HIGH position.
4. Controlling the Heat Setting
In order to change from one setting to anotherdepress the control knob slightly andturnthe knob to the required
position. Alternatively, if asetting betweenLOW and HIGH is required the controlmay be set inthis position.
Note: Do not operate yourfire at the HIGH setting for more than afew minutes in the first eight hours following
installation. This will avoid thermal shock to the coals and burner surface. Minor surface cracking of the burner is normal
and not a cause for concern.
5. To Turn the fire back to Pilot Setting
Depress the control knob and turn clockwise until the pilot setting is reached.
6. To Turn the Appliance Off
Ensure that the controlknob is in the pilot position. Depress the control knob and turnclockwise to the OFFposition.
