the appliance is provided by 6 high power alkaline 1.5V batteries (“C” size) (a spare set of 6 “C”

batteries is supplied with the appliance

An audible repeated bleep warning indicates that the appliance batteries need changing or charging
(if rechargeable batteries have been used).

Important: Batteries should be changed as soon as possible as the appliance will not light if
the battery power gets to low.

SECTION ONE Important Information Cont.

 The Appliance is for use on Natural Gas ( G20 @ 20mbar ) only.
 Failure to install appliance correctly could lead to prosecution.

In GB (Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. GAS SAFE
registered, in accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS,
The Building Regulations (or The Building Regulations (Scotland) or The Building Regulations
(Northern Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, if appropriate.
In IE (Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in
accordance with the current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building
Regulations and the current ETCI rules for electrical installation, if appropriate.

 Although the INFINITY 890 BF is fitted with a glass front which acts as a dress guard it is strongly

recommended that a fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly or infirm.
Fireguards should conform to B. S. 6539 (1984) (Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliance).

 Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or

decoration. Many wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance, it is
strongly recommended that any proposed wall covering intended for use immediately above the
appliance should be tested in the hottest position (immediately above) first. Run the fire on high
over a few days

 All combustible material must be removed from behind the fire and fire trim.

 The first time you light your new appliance a smell may occur due to its new condition. This is

quite normal and will soon disappear after a few hours use at maximum setting (open a window
until the smell disappears)

 With use the inside of the air box will change colour, particularly the sides and rear. This is quite

normal and often adds to the overall effects of the appliance.

 The appliance MUST NOT be used if the glass panel is not correctly fitted or if this panel is

cracked or broken.

 Any debris should be cleaned from the appliance. A vacuum cleaner can be used but only after all

the loose shapes have been removed.

SECTION TWO Introduction

 The INFINITY 890 BF is an inset room sealed decorative fuel-effect gas appliance designed for

use in locations that do not have a conventional chimney. The appliance must be installed against
an outside wall because the air to support combustion is taken from the outside and the products
of combustion are expelled to the outside.

 The appliance incorporates a safety device in the form of a FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE,

which constantly monitors the flame and will cause the gas to be switched off if the flames are
extinguished for any reason. THIS DEVICE MUST NOT BE OVERRIDDEN. If this situation
occurs on a regular basis have the appliance checked by a qualified engineer. The problem may
be due to a blocked or restricted flue.

 Before removing the, trim, glass shapes for cleaning the fire should be turned off, and left to cool

down.

 NOTE: In use some discoloration of the components will take place in the combustion box, this is

normal, but can be kept to a minimum if the shapes are placed correctly (i.e. after cleaning). See
Section 4.

 As with all heating appliances certain areas (Working Surfaces) become very hot when the

appliance is in use.

SECTION THREE Operation

a. Point the remote control hand set in the direction of

the appliance and press the button. Continue to
hold the button for approximately 2 seconds and
release. When released a bleep should be and heard
the appliance will automatically go through the ignition
sequence and the pilot should ignite. Once the pilot is
alight the appliance will automatically go to the high
setting (approximately 20-25sec).

b. If the ignitor stops sparking and the pilot fails to light

press the button for at least 2 seconds and
release, again a bleep should be heard. Then repeat
the lighting procedure.* See note on page 7

SECTION THREE Operation Cont.

e. The appliance can be switched off with out using the hand set by removing the appliance batteries

located behind the fascia. When the batteries are removed there will be a delay (up 3minutes)
after which, double bleeps may be heard and shortly after the appliance will extinguish. Ensure
that the battery is reconnected once the fire as been extinguished. The appliance cannot be
operated without the use of the handset.

Room Thermostat mode

The remote handset checks the room temperature at a fixed time intervals. Depending on the
difference between set room temperature and the actual room temperature the remote proceeds to
modulate in one level steps. Once the room temperature is reached it moves to standby position pilot
only.

The icon “PILOT” will appear on the LCD display. As soon as the actual room temperature falls below

the SET room temperature, the system will move from standby to the high flame level. From this point
it will proceed again the modulation process.

Note: Due to the temperature checks at timed intervals, the display temperature on the handset may exceed
the room setting temperature before the appliance defaults to the pilot setting.

TO REPLACE BATTERY IN HAND SET (3 AAA TYPE BATTERIES)

Remove the cover from the rear of the handset and fit replacement battery.

Clock Regulation

 Lay the glass panel down on a flat working

surface on top of an old opened newspaper
with the side to be cleaned uppermost.

Follow the Instructions on the Hob Cleaner
Bottle.

On stubborn stains (where the appliance has been used for a long period without glass panel being
cleaned), use a new Brillo Pad well wetted with the Hob cleaner applied directly to it.

Ensure all the residues of the cleaner are removed with a damp cloth and the glass panel is
completely dry before fitting to the appliance.
