One type of fire front and fret suggested is shown in Fig 1, this has a perforated fret to allow air to be drawn into
the coal bed for combustion and over the controls for cooling purposes. If other fronts and frets are to be used they
must have a minimum open area in the fret of 20 sq. cms and 60 sq. cms in the front. See Fig 1
This appliance is fitted with an Oxy-pilot which in the event of the flue being blocked, or hazardous conditions
causing the appliance to spill products of combustion, will shut ‘OFF’ the gas supply to the appliance. If the
sequence is repeated the appliance must be turned ’OFF’ and not used until expert advice has been obtained.
Clearance to Side
Minimum clearance required to any combustible material to the side of the appliance must be 150mm.
Clearance to 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
Remove the fret (controls cover) to gain access.
Press and turn the gas control knob anti-clockwise until the indicator dot is opposite IGN. Keep the gas control
fully depressed.
Press and release the piezo igniter until the pilot flame situated in the centre behind the simulated coal front has lit.
Keep the gas control depressed for a further 10 to 15 seconds.
Release the gas control and check that the pilot flame remains lit. Refer to Fig 2 to view pilot.
Note: For convenience the unit can be operated with the pilot only, i.e. with the control knob set in the IGN
position.
Push in the gas control slightly and turn anti-clockwise so that the indicator dot is at the required setting. Replace
the fret (controls cover).
To turn off the appliance and pilot, turn the gas control clockwise from any position - until the indicator dot is
opposite ’OFF’.
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 coals, lift off the simulated coal front and the coal support shelf. Take out the lower fibre back and
side cheeks. Once all the fibre components have been removed from the firebed check that no debris has fallen in
or lodged the burner slots (both front and rear). 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. 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. Any sooty deposit on the thermocouple probe can be cleaned of
using a non-fluffy cloth.
