ABOUT
YOUR
NEW
OASIS
The
Kinder
Oasis
fuel
effect
gas
fire incorporates
a
unique
and
highly
developed
fuel
bed
which
gives
the
realism
of
a
loose
coal
layout
combined
with
realistic
flames
and
glow.
The
use
of
durable
hard
ceramic
material
in
the
construction
of
the
fuel
bed
components
ensures
long
and
trouble
free
operation.
The
fire
incorporates
a
flame
control
which
allows
you
to
adjust
the
flame
appearance
to
give
the
desired
combination
of
flames
and
glow.
When
first
using
the
new
fire
a
slight
smell
may
be
noticed.
This
is
due
to
starch
used
in
the
manufacture
of
the
soft
ceramic
coals,
it
is
non-toxic
and
will
soon
disappear.
Please
take
the
time
to
fully
read
these
instructions
as
you
will
then
be
ab'le
to
obtain
the
most
effective
and
safe
operation
of
your fire.

as with
all
heating
appliances
a
fireguard
should
be
usecl
for
the
protection
of
children,
the
elderly
and
infirm.
Fireguards
should
conform
to
BS
6539
(1
984)
(Fireguards
for
use
with
solid
fuel
appliances).
Servicing
should
be
carried
out
annually
by
a
competent
person
such
as
a
CORGI
registered
engineer.
It
is
a
condition
of
CFM
Kinder
Lid
three
year
and
lifetime
guarantees
that
this
is
carried
out
by
a
competent
person
i.e
a
CORGI
registered
Engineer
in
accordance
with
these
servicing
notes
For
continued
safe
operation
of
the
spillage monitoring
system
the
oxy-pilot
assembly
must
be
replaced
at
the
annual
service.
These
are
available from
CFM
Kinder
L2d
at
a
specially
discounted price
to
encourage
routine
renewal
and
ensure
continued
safe
and
trouble
free
operation
of
the
spillage
monitoring
system.
Pilot
renewal
is
also a condition
of
the
above
guarantee
schemes,
The
condition
of
the
coals
should
be
checked
and
if
necessary
the
whole
set
should
be
replaced
with
a
genuine
replacement
set.
The
burner
assembly
is
designed
to
be
removed
as
a
complete
unit
for
ease
of
access.
After
any
servicing
work
a
gas
soundness
check
and
spillage
test
must
always
be
carried
out*
Rubbish
of
any
type
must
NEVER
be
thrown
onto
the
fuel
bed,
this
could
afTect
safe
operation
and
damage
the
fire.
Any
debris
or
deposits
should
be
removed
from
the fuel
bed
from
time
to
time.This
may
be
carried
out
by
referring
to
the
cleaning
section
as
described
later
in
this
book.
Only
the
correct
number
and
type
of
coals
must
be
used
and
only
complete
and
genuine
replacement
sets
must
be
used.
Always
keep
furniture
and
combustible
materials
well
clear
of
the
fire
and
never
dry
clothing
or
items
either
on
or
near
to
the
fire.
Never
use
aerosols
or
flammable
cleaning
products
near
to
the
fire
when
it
is
in
use.
The
hard
ceramic
fuel
bed
remains
hot
for a considerable
period
after
use
and
sufficient
time
should
be
allowed
for
the
fire
to
cool
before
cleaning
etc.
The
fire
must
only
be
operated
with the
brass
fender
and
ash
pan
cover.
These
must
always
be
in
position
when
the
fire
is
used.
OPERATING
THE
FIRE
There
are
two
types
of
control
for
the
fire.
a
high
level
switch
and
a
hand
held
remote control
unit.
There
is
also
an
aeration
lever
(situated
behind
the
ash
pan
cover)
which
slides
from
left
to right.
The
left
hand
position
gives
maximum
radiant
heat
and
output
whereas
the
right
hand
position
gives
more
flame
but
slightly
less
glow.
To
light
the
Fire
proceed
as
follows:-
Switch
on
the
mains
at
the
fixed
fused

Press
the
rocker
switch
marked
"I"
down
to
turn
the
power
on
to the
fire,
followed
by
the
button
with
an
upward
arrow.
(there
will
be
a
continuous
sparking
noise
until
the
pilot
ignites).
2)
The
fire will
now
go
through
a
testing
process,
once
the
tests
are
complete
the
fire will
ignite
(approximately
15
seconds).
It
is
recommended
that
for
most
efficient
performance
the
fire
is
allowed
to
warm
up
for
a
few
minutes
with
the
flame
adjuster
in
the
left
hand
position and
the
fire
in
the
high
setting.
If
the
fire
fails
to
light
turn
off
the
power
supply
to
fire
by pressing
the
rocker
switch
to
the
position marked
"0"
Then
Repeat
as
above.
3)
To
alter
the
flame
setting,
press
the
down
arrow
on
the
high

switch.
4)
To
turn
the
fire
off,
press
the
"0"
button
on
the
high
level
switch.
Within
the
electronic
controls
contained
in
this
appliance
is a temperature
sensor
which
is
used
to
control the
heat
input
between
the
high
(6.9kW)
heat
input
and
the
low
(4.2kW)
settings,
via
a
staged reduction
in
heat
input.
This
sensor
will
control
the
point
at
which
the
fire
regulates
between
the
high
and
low
settings,
but
the
point
at which
the
appliance
switches
between
high
and
low
is
dependent
upon
many
factors
such
as
room
temperature,
the
time
the
appliance
has
been
running,
flue
performance
etc.
If
all
8
L.E.D.s
are
illuminated
on
the
high
level
switch,
the
fire
will
always
run
at
the
high
rate
heat
input
{6.9kW),
irrespective
of
room
temperature
etc.
If
it
is
set
so
that
just
2
L.E.D.
is
illuminated,
it
will
always
run
on
the
low
rate
heat
input
(4.2kW)
again,
irrespective
of
room
temperature
etc.
The
point
at
which
the
fire
switches
between
"high'hnd
"low"
heat
inputs
via
the
number
of
L.E.D.s
illuminated
on
the
membrane
switch
is
dependent
upon
the
factors
stated
in the
first
paragraph
above,
therefore
we
recommend
that
the
fire
is
adjusted
via
the
remote control
or
the
high
level
switch
to
maintain
a
level
of
heat
input
&
temperature that
is
comfortable
for
the
persons
within
the
room
to
which
the
appliance
is
installed.

SPILLAGE
MONITORING
SYSTEM
This
appliance
is
fitted
with
a
spillage
monitoring
system
which
shuts
down
the
fire
if
the
evacuation
of
combustion
products
from
the
fire
is
affected
by
a
partially
or
fully
blocked
flue.
If
this
system
operates
the
fire
will
go
out.
If
this
occurs,
leave
the
fire
for
at
least
three
minutes
then
follow
the
lighting
procedure
as
described
in
the
previous
section.
In
the
event
07
repeated
operation
a
specialist
must
be
called
to
investigate
and
rectify
the
cause.
CLEANING
WARNING
Before
attempting
any
cleaning
operation
ensure
that
the fire
has
been
allowed
to
fully
cool.
CLEANlNG
THE
BRASS
AND
PAINTED
METAL
PARTS
The
brass
trim
fitted
to
this
fire
is
anodised
and
may discolour
with
use. However, this
part
can
be
regularly cleaned using a damp cloth
and
will
then
retain its looks for
the
life of
the
fire.
The
fender
and cover
(if
supplied
with
the
fire)
are
solid
brass
and
may
be
cleaned
using
a
suitable
proprietary
metal polish. If
you
purchased
an
alternative
fender from
your
supplier
it
is important
to
find
out
whether
it
is
lacquered
before
cleaning
it.
Pn
this
case,
your
supplier will
be
able
to
advise
you
on
the
best
cleaning
method.
The
brass trim is
best
cleaned
by
removing
it
from
the
fire
and
placing it
face
up
on a flat
surface.
The
trim
is
easily
replaced
by
repositioning
it
on
the
fire
and
pushing
it
back
onto
the
magnets,
After
using
any
metal
polish
or
cleaners
the
fire should not
be
used
for
15
minutes
or
so
to
allow
any
cleaning
solvents
to
evaporate.
Black
painted
metal
parts
should
be
gently
cleaned
with
a
damp
cloth.
Abrasive
cleaners,
chemical
cleaning
agents
or
any
type
of
polish
must
never
be
used
as
damage
to
the
paint
may
result.
CLEANING
THE
FUEL
BED
We
do
not
recommend
cleaning
the
fuel
bed
other
than
at
annual
service
intervals.
If
carbon
or
soot
accumulates
on
the
coals
or
fuel
bed,
this
is
easily
and
best
removed
by
moving
the
aeration
control
to
the
left
hand
position
and
running
the
fire
on
maximum
for
approximately
one
hour.
This will effectively
burn
off
any
deposits
without
damaging
the
coals.
If
coals
are
found
to
be
very
dirty or
are
damaged
they
should
be
replaced with a complete
set
of
replacement
coals
of
the
correct type.
The
old coals should
be
placed
in sealed
plastic
bag
and
disposed
of
as
normal
household
waste.
Coals
are
made
from a form
of
refractory ceramic
fibre
and
should
be
handled
carefully
to
avoid
generating
dust,
as
this
may
be
harmful
if
in
haled.
As
with
some
other
fibrous
materials,
handling
coals
without
gloves
could
cause
skin
irritation.
None
of
the
fuel
bed
components
or
coals
must
be
washed
or
exposed
to
any
cleaning
agents
or
water.
Any
damaged
parts
must
be
replaced
by
contacting
your
dealer
or telephoning
CFM
Kinder
LTD
on
the
number
stated
on
the
rear
cover
of
this
book.
Coals
must
only
be
replaced
with
a
complete
and
genuine
replacement
set
and
the
fire
must
never
be
run
with
the
wrong
number
or
damaged
coals.
The
fuel
bed
must
be
carefully
reassembled
as stated
in the
following
section.

TROUBLE
SHOOTING
This

has a degree
of
built
in
fault
diagnosis.
The
main
purpose
would
be
to
allow
the
customer
to
report
the
exact
problem
before
the
visit
from
a
service engineer.
Various
fault conditions can
be
detected
and
indicated
by means
of
the bar
graph
display. On
detection
of
a
fault
you
will
here
three
beeps
and
the
fire will
shut

and
placed in
a

will
be
lit,
one
at
a

depending
on
the
nature
of
the
