Frequently Asked Questions - Sense FABER

How to light the pilot light of the Faber Sense fireplace?

To light the pilot light, press control button A and turn it left from position ● to position ⬆ (small flame). You will first hear a sound then a spark. Keep it pressed for a few seconds to purge air. If necessary, repeat until the pilot light stays lit. After lighting, hold the button down for about 10 seconds, then release and check that the pilot light does not go out. Then turn the button to high position.

How to adjust the flame height on the Sense model?

After lighting the pilot light, use control button B on the adjustment unit to adjust the flame height between pilot and full. You can also use the remote control (if available) with the buttons (large flames) and ⬤ (small flames). The remote control only works if the main burner is lit.

What to do if the pilot light goes out during use?

If the pilot light goes out, wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to relight it. Possible causes include an operation error, a safety device reaction (supply/evacuation system failure) or a problem with the pilot light itself. If the problem persists, contact your certified installer.

My Faber Sense remote control no longer works, how to adjust it?

To adjust the remote control, set the receiver to 'on', press and hold the MOD button for 3 seconds until the green light turns on. Then press a button on the remote: the light goes off. Press again: the light flashes then goes off. If you hear a beep and the gas motor runs, the adjustment is successful. The code may be lost after prolonged inactivity.

How to replace the remote control batteries?

Remove the cover on the back of the remote. Gently pull the battery clip without pulling on the wires. Replace the batteries with two AAA/LR03 alkaline batteries. Snap the clip back, close the cover. If the remote still does not respond, repeat the adjustment procedure (see previous question). Dispose of used batteries in chemical waste containers.

How to clean the glass of the Faber Sense fireplace?

Before cleaning the glass, turn off the appliance and wait for it to cool completely. Open the door by unscrewing the handle lock. Use a soft cloth to remove deposits. If necessary, a ceramic cooktop cleaner can be used. Absolutely avoid fingerprints, as they can become embedded and indelible.

What are the essential safety instructions for the Sense fireplace?

Do not use if the glass is broken or a cover is removed. Keep flammable materials (curtains, furniture) at least 100 cm away. Use a fireguard if children, elderly, or disabled persons are present. Surfaces (except handle and buttons) may exceed 100 °C. Do not place flammable objects in the combustion chamber. After renovation work, wait until humidity and solvents dissipate before lighting the appliance.

Can I use the fireplace if the glass is cracked or broken?

No, it is strictly forbidden to operate the fireplace when the glass is broken or a cover is removed. Damaged glass can compromise the seal and safety of the appliance. Contact a certified installer to replace the glass before any use.

Is annual maintenance required for the Faber Sense fireplace?

Yes, it is recommended to have the chimney cleaned once a year (if open combustion). Additionally, the appliance must be inspected and cleaned by a certified installer periodically. Routine maintenance (exterior, glass) can be done by the user after cooling, with a damp cloth.

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 extinguish

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
• 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 ● (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.
