3.1 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.
• 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^ ). 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 .

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.

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.

3.2 Controlling the appliance

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. 1 and 2) that optionally can be adjusted with a G30 remote control.

3.2.1 Manual 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 lit 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 extinguish are:

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

Contact a qualified installer when the appliance extinguishes regularly.

3.2.1.1 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)

3.2.1.2 Pilot extinguish

3.2.1.3 Mainburner adjustment

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

3.3 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.

Beside manual operation the appliance can operate automatically with the use of a thermostat and timer.
