1. 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.
2. If the fire is intended to be installed to a chimney
which was previously used for solid fuel, please note
that the chimney must be swept prior to installation.
3. On no account must the fire stand on carpets or
other combustible materials. The fire must stand
behind a non-combustible hearth surface. The
hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. Its top
surface should be 50mm above floor level to
discourage placing carpets. Rugs or other
combustible materials over the hearth. The
minimum size of the hearth is shown in figure 1.
4. If the fire is intended to be installed against a wall
with combustible cladding, the cladding must be
removed from the area covered by the outer
surround (see figure 1).
5. 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 818mm.
For shelves deeper than 150mm add 12.5mm to the
above clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf
depth.
6. Never put any paper or other material on the fire.
Never add any extra coals above the number stated in
these instructions. This could cause a safety hazard.
7. It should be appreciated that although this appliance
conforms to all the applicable standards, it is a
decorative fuel effect heating appliance and certain
parts of its surface will become hot. A suitable guard
which 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.
8. 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.
9. Never hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over
the fire.
10. This appliance is fitted with an Oxysafe device which
will automatically shut off the supply of gas to the
fire if, for any reason, the flames go out. If this device
does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally or
intentionally, always wait three minutes before
attempting to relight.
11. 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.
Please note
When operating your fire for thefirst 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.
This fire is supplied with ceramic “coals” to simulate a real coal fire. These items are designed for easy refitting if removed.
After some use, the ceramic walls and coals may changecolour. This is quite normal

GAS CONSUMPTION
Natural gas appliances have a maximum gas input at the
high setting of 6.85kW (gross)
Propane gas appliances have a maximum gas inputat the
high setting of 6.7kW (gross)
OPERATING THE FIRE
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 sliding control
button is held 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
The control is shown in figure 2.
1. Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition)
position marked .
In this position, the electronic ignition system should cause
a series of sparks which should light the pilot. Within four seconds of the pilot igniting,
the main burner should light at its minimum setting.
If no sparks are produced to light the pilot, the battery may need replacing. Details of
battery replacement are given further on in this manual.
Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can be lit with a taper as described
later in the instructions.
2. Keep the button at the ignition 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 on the previous page.
3. If low heatis required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up
to the low heat position shown in figure 2 (See note i below).
4. For a higher heat level slide the button upwards. The burner flames and heat
output will gradually increase until the button reaches the high heat position shown in
figure 2. When the button reaches the high heat position you will feela check to its
movement. Do not slide the button above the high heat position unless you want to turn the
fire off (See note i below).
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 coals 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 slide the
control button to its highest 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 occasionaly to
change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that
may form during operation.

To turn the fire off
Slide the button up past the high heat position to the “O” position.
Both the main burner and the pilot should go out.
While cooling, the coals may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.
Lighting with a taper (see figure 3)
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 alongside of the left side wall of the fire box and operating
the slide control as described above.
CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning. Note that the fire
will retain heat for some time after ithas been turned off.
If large pieces of debris are found anywhere in the fireplace, have the chimney inspected before
further use.
Metal parts
Clean the metal parts with a slightly damp cloth and then dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners,
they could scratch the surface.
Coals and burner compartment walls
This product uses a fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing
Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to this material may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the
release of dust is kept to a minimum.
Light coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the normal operation of the fire.
Should any soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces and walls 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 coals 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
If the fuelbed components are dislodged or removed, they must be refitted as follows:
Only the fuel bed parts supplied with this appliance or authorised Wonderfire replacements must be used. Never add extra coals
above the number stated in these instructions.
1Place the ceramic
base coal in the
burner compartment.
The bottom rear face
of the coal should rest
on the angled ledge at
the back of the burner
compartment. The
bottom front recessed
edge of the coal base
should locate against
the step in the burner
plaques (See figure 4).
(Installer - Note that the
small round holes in the
burner plaques which
will be covered by the
base coal are not gas
burner ports. They are
simply a consequence of
the plaque
manufacturing process).
2Place the ceramic
front coal in position
in front of the base
coal. Make sure that
the side legs of the
front coal are fully
seated into the
burner tray. There
will be a gap
between the rear of
the front coal and
the front of the base
coal (See figure 5).
3Install the 13
loose coals as
follows. There are 2
“finger” coals, 7
medium size coals and 4
large coals. Place all the
loose coals so that they
are firmly seated in the
valleys in the coal base
and front coal.
3.1 Place the 4 large coals
in the valleys of the front
coal (See figure 6).
3.2 Place 3 of the
medium size coals
behind and
approximately midway
between the large coals
as shown in figure 7.
Place a “finger” coal at
each end of the first two
rows of coals. See figure
7.
3.3 Place the four
remaining coals in a row
at the back of the firebox
compartment. See figure
8.

MAINTENANCE
Battery replacement
This appliance requires one 9V PP3 Ever Ready Silver Seal (or equivalent) battery.
To replace the battery remove the bottom front cover casting .
Fit the new battery firmly to the connections on the ignition block (See figure 9).
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.
