Do have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Do have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid fuel.
Do have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions.
Do provide a minimum clearance as shown below above the hearth to any shelf made
of wood or other combustible material. Please bear this in mind if you are making any
alterations to the room.
Do provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or 6778 for the protection of
young children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it
is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot).
Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out).
Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by
heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Do provide a minimum side clearance as detailed in figure 1. Please bear this in mind if
ever you are considering altering the room.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE
PLEASE NOTE
When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may
cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which will
shut down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a
substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also 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 this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas, get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe which 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 held in at the ignition position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is hot or if the fire is turned off when
hot, always wait at least three minutes before attempting to relight.
To light the fire
To get access to the control knob lower the
bottom front cover. To do this, support the
top edges of the lower front cover and pull
gently (See figure 2).
KDepress the control knob and turn
anticlockwise towards the PILOT/IGN
position (See figure 3). A spark should be
generated at the pilot while turning. The
spark should ignite the pilot. The pilot
flame can be seen at the left side of the
pebbles.
KKeep the button at the PILOT/IGN
position for a further ten seconds. This will
prevent the flame sensing device from
shutting off the gas while its probe warms
up as explained previously.
Figure 2. Lower front cover.

OWNER’S GUIDE

KIf the pilot does not ignite quickly
repeat the procedure.
KIf after 10 seconds pilot ignition
has not occurred, turn the control
knob back to the “Off” position, wait
for 3 minutes and then repeat the
ignition procedure.
KWhen the pilot is alight and stable,
partially depress the knob and turn to
“LOW”. The pilot should then light the
main burner at its low setting. There
may be a delay of up to four seconds
between the pilot lighting and ignition
of the gas at the main burner. This is
normal and is due to the time required
to fill the main burner compartment with sufficient gas for ignition.
KWhen the main burner is alight at its low setting, partially depress the knob and
gradually turn it anti-clockwise until the burner is at your desired level. The burner
flames will gradually increase until the knob reaches the “HIGH” position.
Note: i) If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting
procedure. If the flames repeatedly go out have the fire serviced.
ii) Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue.
The pebbles will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after
approximately ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a
somewhat longer time.
iii) The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed
during the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply set the control
knob to its ‘HIGH’ setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that
may have formed during previous operations.
iv) If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to
change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that
may form during operation

Lighting with a taper
See figure 4.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark, the pilot can be lit by a taper or
long spill. Insert the taper or spill into the gap underneath the pebble at the extreme left
hand side of the fuel bed. Depress the control knob, turn it to PILOT/IGN
To turn off
KTo turn the main burner off but leave the pilot
alight, partially depress the knob and turn to
PILOT/IGN.
KTo turn the fire fully off, partially depress the
knob and turn to OFF.
KWait at least three minutes before
relighting.
KWhile cooling, the coals may make some
crackling noises. This is quite normal.

CLEANING
To maintain the high performance and quality finish of your fire please follow these
guidelines:
•Before attempting to clean the fire, please remember to turn off the fire and wait for
the appliance to cool completely. The fire will retain heat for some time before cleaning
can begin.
•If any pieces of debris are found in the hotbox, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal Parts
•Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp, lint free non-abrasive cloth and then dry.
•Do not use abrasive cleaners as these will scratch the fire surface.
•Front surround -Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. If
this does not work apply a very small amount of ‘baby oil’ to a lint free, non-abrasive
cloth and wipe over the surface. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the oil.
•Note: The decorative metal surfaces within the firebox are exposed to high
temperatures. Great care has been taken to ensure that discolouration is kept to a
minimum. However, the combination of heat and variable flue conditions may result in
small amounts of discolouration or staining.
Pebbles and Pebble base
•This product uses fuel effect pieces and Gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic
Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to ensure
that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
•In the unlikely event of soot forming, light coatings will usually be burnt off during
the normal operation of the fire.
•Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be
removed from the fire for cleaning.
•Cleaning should be carried out in a well ventilated area or in the open air by gently
brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the dust.
•We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner which may
blow dust back into the air.
•We suggest that you remove the pebbles in the reverse order to that shown in the fuel
bed refitting instructions.

Ceramic burner
Remove any deposits of soot or other foreign matter from the solid areas of the burner
with a dry soft brush. Be careful not to brush any particles into the open slots. Remove
any particles from the slots with a vacuum cleaner fitted with a soft brush attachment.
Do not poke wire, etc. into the slots in the burner.
FUEL BED REFITTING
1. The front base pebble has the
letters ‘MF’ on the underside. Locate
the front base pebble in front of the
burner (See figure 5)
2. The rear base pebble has the
letters ‘MB’ on the underside. Locate
the rear base pebble behind the burner
(See figure 6)
3. There are four ceramic support
rods. Locate the ceramic support
rods into the slots of the ceramic
base (See figure 7)
4. The loose pebbles are
numbered on the underside. They are
numbered ‘1’ to ‘5’ and
lettered ‘A’ to ‘D’. There
should be four number ‘1’
pebbles, two number ‘2’
pebbles, one number ‘3’
pebble, one number ‘4’ pebble,
two number ‘5’ pebbles, two
pebbles lettered ‘A’, two
pebbles lettered ‘B’, two
pebbles lettered ‘D’ and one
pebble lettered ‘C’.

OWNER’S GUIDE
Page 12
The position of the pebbles is
important. Do not alter the
position of the pebbles from
that shown in this section of the
owner’s guide.
5. There are four pebbles
numbered ‘1’ on the underside.
Locate these onto the pebble base
at the ends of the outer
left and right hand
ceramic support rods
(See figure 8).
6. There are two
pebbles numbered ‘2’ on
the underside. Locate
these on the pebble base
between the ends of the
inner left and right
ceramic support rods
(See figure 9).
Important note: The gap
between the number ‘2’
pebbles affects the final
flame picture. If the
flames tend to the sides of
the fuel bed then increase
the gap between the
number ‘2’ pebbles. If the
flames tend to the centre
of the fuel bed then
decrease the gap between
the number ‘2’ pebbles.
The amount of movement may be as little as 3 – 5mm.
7. Pebble ‘3’ has a location peg on the underside. The peg has a chamfer on one side.
The chamfer must face the burner. Locate pebble ‘3’ onto the left hand side of the pebble
base. It should bridge the gap between the front and rear halves of the pebble base. Pebble
‘3’ should not touch the burner cover (Figure 10).

8. Pebble ‘4’ has a location
peg on the underside. The peg
has a chamfer on one side. The
chamfer must face the burner.
Locate pebble ‘4’ onto the right
hand side of the pebble base. It
should bridge the gap between
the front and rear halves of the
pebble base. Pebble ‘4’ should
not touch the burner cover (See
figure 11).
9. There are two
pebbles numbered‘5’.
They have a central
location peg on the
underside. Locate the
first pebble ‘5’
centrally between the
left hand ceramic
support rods (See
figure 12). Locate
the second pebble
‘5’ centrally
between the right
hand ceramic
support rods (See
figure 12)
10. There are
seven pebbles
lettered ‘A’ to
‘D’on the
underside. Locate
these evenly over
the top of the first
layer of pebbles (See figure 13). To optimise the flame picture it may be necessary to
position these pebbles away from the centre of the fuel bed allowing more central flames.

MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every
twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K, a CORGI registered installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked
annually.
