•As with any gas appliance, this fire must be 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.
•Although this appliance does not have to be on a non-
combustible hearth, it must stand on a hard level
surface.
It must not stand on or near a carpet, rug or other
soft surface which could interfere with the flow of air
into and through the bottom of the heater. The floor
must be free from such soft-surface floor coverings
over the full width of the appliance side-to-side for at
least 300mm forward from the wall at the back of the
fire.
•The minimum height from the top surface of the
hearth to the underside of any shelf made from wood
or other combustible material and which is not more
than 150mm deep is 780mm.
For shelves deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the
above clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf
depth.
•A minimum clearance of 51mm should be maintained
each side of the fire for servicing access.
•The fire should not be used without the fuel bed and
ceramic rear firebox wall in their correct positions or
if they are damaged.
•The fire must never be used without the glass window
panel in position or with damaged glass. If the glass is
damaged, the fire must be switched off and not used
until the panel is replaced.
•Never put any paper or other material on the fire.
Never add any loose coals on to the ceramic fuel piece
supplied with the fire. This could cause a safety
hazard.
•It should be appreciated that although this appliance
conforms to all the applicable standards, it is a heating
appliance and certain parts of its surface will become
hot. A suitable guard that complies with BS 6539 or
6778 should be used for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is
also recommended for the protection of pet animals.
•Always switch the fire off and allow to cool before
handling. Note that this appliance retains heat for
some time after it has been switched off.
•Never hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over
the fire.
•Soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl etc.) are easily
affected by heat. They may, therefore, scorch or
become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when having a heating
appliance installed and when redecorating.
•The flue terminal on the outside wall must be kept free
from all obstructions and blockages.
•This appliance is fitted with a device which will
automatically shut off the supply of gas to the fire if,
for any reason, the pilot burner goes out. If this device
operates or if the fire is accidentally or intentionally
turned off always wait at least three minutes before
attempting to relight.
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.
Do not attempt to clean the bright metal interior of the firebox
with metal polish or other abrasives. After a little use the interior
of the firebox will colour. This is quite normal.

DIMENSIONS & GAS CONSUMPTION
Gas Consumption
This appliance has a maximum gas at input its highest setting of
3.65kW (Gross)
The maximum heat output is 2.7kW.
OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The pilot may be left alight. It is advisable, however, that the pilot is turned
off if the premises are to be left unoccupied for a lengthy period.
For your safety the fire is fitted with a flame supervision device which will
shut off the gas supply if for any reason the pilot goes out. This device
incorporates a fixed probe which senses the heat from the pilot flame. If the
probe is cool the device will prevent any gas flow unless the pilot lighting
knob is held in. This device also stops the fire being turned back on until it is
safe after it has been turned off.
If, for any reason, the fire goes out or if the fire is turned off, always wait at
least three minutes before attempting to relight
If the device starts to shut off the gas frequently, get expert advice.
To Light the Pilot
•Push in the right control knob (the pilot lighting knob) and, while keeping it depressed, turn
anticlockwise through the ignition position marked and up to the pilot position marked .
The spark should light the pilot. The pilot flame can be seen by looking through the gap near
the left side of the coal front (See figure 3).
•When the pilot has lit, keep the right hand control knob depressed for a few seconds to prevent
the flame supervision device from shutting off the gas supply while its probe warms up, as
explained above, then release it. If the pilot does not remain alight turn the knob back to the off
position marked •.Wait a few seconds and repeat the lighting sequence.
To Light the Main Burner
•Partially depress the right control knob and turn to the main burner position marked .
•The main burner flames are controlled by using the rocker switch at the right side of the fire case. Operating the rocker switch
automatically causes the knob at the left side of the pilot control knob to rotate. Pressing in the top half of the switch turns the main burner
on. Keeping the top half pressed gradually increases the flame height and heat output. Pressing the bottom half reduces the flame height and
heat output and finally turns the main burner off. In the unlikely event of failure of the rocker switch, the left side knob can be turned
manually.
To Turn Off the Main Burner Only
Press in and hold the bottom half of the rocker switch until the main burner is extinguished. Alternatively, the main burner can be
extinguished by turning the right hand control knob to the pilot position marked .
To Turn Off the Main Burner and Pilot
Turn the right hand control knob to the pilot position marked . Push the knob in at this position and turn to the off position marked •.

then dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, they could
scratch the surface.
To clean the inside of the window.
Before the window can be detached, the front unit
will have to be removed as follows:
See figure 4
The front casting weighs around 20kg (44lbs). To
avoid any risk of injury, if you have any doubt about
your ability to safely lift this front, ask someone to
assist you.
•Remove the bottom front casting.
•Raise the front casting unit so that the bottom
location brackets and the top location plate are released from the locations in the main fire case
then lift clear.

the window frame. See figure 5. Keep the screws and washers in a safe place.
•Gently swing the base of the window frame forward while lifting the frame upwards. The window
should lift clear of the fire. Put the window in a safe place away from your immediate work area.
•Any stains on the glass can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner such as a ceramic hob cleaner.
Never use abrasive cleaners. Clean the window carefully in accordance with the instructions
supplied with the cleaner.
•Replace the window making sure that the seal around the frame is not damaged or misplaced.
Locate the channel at the top of the window over the top of the firebox opening.
•Refit the three spring-loaded screws and washers. Tighten sufficiently to seal to the firebox.
•Replace the case front.
To Clean the Fuel Bed or Rear Ceramic Wall

follows:-
•Remove the front case and window as described above.
•Carefully lift the fuel bed out of the firebox and place it on a piece of
cardboard or similar.
•If necessary remove the rear ceramic wall from the bottom channel
by pushing the bottom edge of the wall upwards and very slightly
pulling the top forward.
•Carefully vacuum the upper and lower surfaces of the fuel bed (and
wall if necessary) using a soft brush attachment.
•When refitting the fuel bed, make sure that the front of the coal

Battery Replacement
This appliance uses four 1.5V AA batteries.
To change the batteries remove the bottom front casting. The battery case is at the
right side. Lift the plastic battery holder out of the metal case and detach the
batteries. See figure 7.
•In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency it is essential that the flue terminal outside the building is kept clear of
any form of obstruction.
•We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, are checked annually by a
