Clearances

Side. Minimum clearance required to any combustible material to the side of the appliance must be 150mm.

Shelves. Minimum clearance to the underside of a 150mm deep combustible shelf from the hearth must be 790mm, add 12.5mm to this dimension for every 25mm increase in the depth of the shelf.

To light the appliance

Press down the control button at the right top corner of the surround. The fan should be heard to start initially on high speed and then reducing to low speed, a spark will be heard and the gas will light at the pilot positioned at the centre of the front simulated coal (if a spark is not heard - check battery). Hold for a period of 10-15 seconds and release - the main burner will light.

A taper may light the appliance by placing the lit taper over the coal front at the approximate centre position and pressing the control button. See Fig 1.

The thermoselector control situated behind the ashpan cover (fret) is to be set to a position which maintains the room at the desired comfort level, i.e. the higher the control setting the higher the mean temperature of the room. Adjustments to this control will take time for the effect in the room to be apparent.

To turn off the appliance and pilot - lift the control button.

IMPORTANT: After turning OFF or if the pilot and the appliance goes out for any reason, wait for three minutes before attempting to relight.

Dismantling the Fire Bed for Cleaning

Allow the appliance to cool for 1 hour before handling any components.

Remove the loose coals, lift off the simulated coal front, and remove the coal support shelf. Once all the fibre components have been removed from the firebed check that no debris has fallen in or lodged the burner slots. If any debris is present it may be easily removed by using a small piece of thin cardboard to ease out any foreign matter. Be sure to remove the cardboard after use. Any sooty deposits or debris left on the coals may be removed by using a soft brush or by careful use of a vacuum cleaner. . 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. Any sooty deposit on the thermocouple probe can be cleaned of using a non-fluffy cloth.

It is very important that the coals and the coal bed components are laid as shown no extra coals or material may be used. If any of the items become lost or damaged, replacements must be obtained before further use of the appliance.

Relaying the Coal Bed

Fit the coal support shelf and simulated coal front. Fig 2

Referring to figures 2, 3 and 4 lay the coals as follows:

1.Place 4 large round coals between the simulated coal front and the support shelf. Fig 3

2.Place 3 round coals between the gaps in the front row. Fig 3

3.Place the 5 small round coals between the gaps formed in the coals laid in 1 & 2 above. Fig 4

Cleaning the Front of the Appliance

The fire must be turned off and allowed to cool. The paintwork should be cleaned with a soft cloth or soapy water; the brass trim has a clear lacquer coating to preserve the polished finish. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR METAL POLISH.
