2.1 Safety instructions for the user

• If a gas leak is found or suspected, turn off the gas supply at the meter and contact your installer or gas emergency service. These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference.
• Remove any stickers, protection foil and protection rubber of the glass.
• Do not use the fire with a broken or damaged glass.
• The fire has a safety device which turns off the gas supply if there is a build up from flue gasses in the combustion room or a temporary gas cut-off. Wait at least 5 minutes before turning the appliance on again. Contact a qualified installer when the appliance goes off regularly.
• Since the appliance has been designed for heating purposes all surfaces, including the glass, can become very warm (over 100°C). An exception to this is the lower side of the door and the control buttons.
• Due to the newness of materials, they may give off a slight smell for a period after initial lighting. This is normal, odours will disperse after a few hours use.
• Do not place curtains, clothing, laundry, furniture or other flammable materials near the appliance. The required minimum distance is 100 cm.
• Switch off the receiver of the remote control if you don't use the fire for a long time. Do not let children use the remote control without supervision.

IMPORTANT: A suitable Fireguard conforming to BS6539 and BS6778 should be used with this appliance to protect children, the elderly or infirm. Care should also be taken with pets. In your own interest and that of safety, all gas appliances must be installed by competent persons. Installation must be in accordance with National Regulations. CORGI registered installers are required to work to recognised standards. See also the installation guide.

Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due to the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building materials, carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit fire. These components can settle onto cold surfaces in the form of soot. As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing the appliance.

2.2 (Manual) control

Depending on the model, the gas control block is positioned either:

behind a stainless steel door on the underside of the appliance - mounted in the middle of the floor plate of the appliance - behind the frame (accessible by tilting the frame upwards)

These appliances are fitted with a manual GV36 gas control (see fig.2.1) that optionally can be adjusted with a G30 remote control.

The pilot light always has to be lit before the main burner can be used. Rotary knob A functions as a main valve and has to be used to light the pilot light. Use rotary knob B to adjust the height of the flames.

Warning! When the pilot extinguishes, for whatever reason, you should wait at least 5 minutes before trying again. Possible causes of pilot extinguishing are:

• operation error
• interference of the safety device
• failure in the pilot flame system

Contact a qualified installer when the appliance extinguishes regularly.

2.2.1 Pilot ignition

To ignite the pilot light:

• simultaneously press and turn rotary knob A anti-clockwise to the (small flame) position at the (spark) position a click will be heard and the piezo-electric element starts to ignite
• hold the knob in this position for some seconds to clear the air from the pipe and allow gas to reach the pilot burner
• if the pilot light does not light return to the ● (stop) position and restart hold the knob for about ten seconds after the pilot light ignites
• turn the knob anti clockwise to the (large flame) position to allow the main burner to be ignited (see main burner ignition)

2.2.2 Pilot extinguishing

To extinguish the pilot light:

• first turn rotary knob B clockwise to the (off) position
• turn rotary knob A clockwise to the (small flame) position, then simultaneously press and turn rotary knob A clockwise to the (off) position

2.2.3 Main burner adjustment

To adjust the flame height, turn rotary knob B between the (off) position and the (large flame) position

2.3 Remote control (optional)

This version of the remote control is only meant to adjust the height of the flames. It only functions when the pilot burner is ignited and knob A is in the (large flame) position. Therefore, it isn't possible to ignite the pilot flame with the remote control or to extinguish the pilot flame. The radio-frequency remote control is intended for fireplaces installed in a domestic setting in all EU countries except Austria, Denmark, Finland, and Greece.

2.3.1 Transmission code

The transmission code of the remote control is already set at the factory and cannot be adjusted by the customer.

Adjust the main burner

First, always ignite the pilot light (see 2.1.1 pilot ignition) and turn the rotary knob to the (large flame) position.

Adjust the fire as desired with the buttons on the remote control (see figure 2.2):

• use the button to raise the flames
• use the button to lower the flames

2.4 Battery replacement transmitter

• Remove the cover on the back of the remote control to access the battery compartment.
• Carefully remove the batteries. Pay attention not to pull the wires.
• Replace with one alkaline 9V MN1604 or 6LR61 battery.
• Replace the cover.

2.5 Cleaning and service instructions

• Turn off the fire and allow it to cool down before commencing cleaning.
• It is recommended that the fire is inspected/serviced by a competent person at least once a year.
• To maintain the finish on the trim, wipe with a soft damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners, polish, or solvents as these can damage the surface finish.
• In case of a B1 appliance, always sweep the flue at least once a year.

2.6 Disposal of packaging and appliance

The appliance packaging is recyclable. The packaging could include the following materials:

cardboard, CFC-free foam (soft), wood, plastic, paper

These materials should be disposed of responsibly and in conformity with government regulations.

Batteries are considered chemical waste. The batteries should be disposed of responsibly and in conformity with government regulations. Remove the batteries before disposing of the remote control.

Information on how to responsibly dispose of discarded appliances can be obtained from local authorities.
