INTRODUCTION
The Paragon P6 as been designed and tested to the requirements of EN 613 and is suitable for
use in GB (Great Britain) and IE (Ireland).
The PARAGON P6 incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot, and main burner
low and high settings.
Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a low frequency noise may be heard, this may
be more noticeable on the low setting.
The Paragon P6 incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen Depletion System, which
constantly monitors the oxygen in the room and will cause the fire to switch off if the oxygen level
reduces, for instance due to insufficient ventilation or a blocked flue.
If this regularly occurs do not attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer has
checked it, the problem may not be due to lack of air or a defective flue.
To obtain an authentic fire sound, a noise will be noticeable from the burner.

SECTION ONE Introduction Continued
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The appliance is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar) only.
The chimney or flue (unless new or previously used with a gas appliance) shall be swept before
installation if it has been used for solid fuel.
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 Saferegistered, 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.
The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS 1945 (1997) however; a
fireguard conforming to BS6539 (1997) must be used to protect young children, the elderly or
infirm.
The appliance MUST NOT be used with the glass safety screen removed or if it is damaged or
cracked.
During initial firing, an odour may be evident. This is the starch binder used during the
manufacture of the fibre components of the fire, and there are no harmful effects produced.
During the warming up and cooling down of the appliance you may experience some expansion
and contraction noises. These are normal.
During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel
bed. This is quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive
black staining does occur it may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be
checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
Due to the nature of the high gloss finish on the outer trim, you may experience some markings in
the form of a film. This is quite normal and can be wiped off using a dry clean cloth when the fire
is cold causing no damage to the trim.
* The top of the outer firebox is not a working surface and therefore you should avoid placing
items on top*

Care must be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishing or
decoration; e.g. many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close
to the appliance. Combustible material i.e. wall panelling or wallpaper must be removed from
behind the fire and fire fascia.
It is advised that this appliance is serviced annually; as it is more likely to provide trouble-free
operation.
In GB (Great Britain) the fire does not normally require purpose built ventilation, but if for any
special reason purpose built ventilation is provided it should be checked periodically to ensure
freedom from obstructions.
In IE (Ireland) permanent ventilation must comply with the current edition of IS813.
SECTION TWO Operating the Appliance
Before operating the appliance the battery must be fitted to the spark generator. The generator and
boot connection is located on the base of the fire box on the left hand side. Connect the battery to the
boot connect and place the battery directly under the spark generator unit.
The full lighting procedure is as follows: a. Push slide control lever in,as far as possible a clicking noise will be heard and the pilot will
light, PUSH FIRMLY FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS.
b. Allow the lever to spring back the pilot light should remain alight and the main burner should
light on its low setting.
c. Should the pilot fail to light, pull the lever fully out to turn off the appliance, wait 3 minutes and
repeat the procedure(a &b).If the pilot does not light and no clicking noise is heard replace the battery
and try again.
d. After lighting the pilot flame and the main burner on its low setting the control lever may be
pulled out until slight resistance is felt, this will put the burner on its high setting.
e. To completely extinguish the fire, pull the lever out to its fullest extent.
f. The fire may be operated on either its low or high setting.
g. It is recommended that the appliance is operated on its high setting for a period of 10 minutes
before adjusting to the low setting.

SECTION THREE Cleaning
Warning: -
Before you clean any part of the appliance ensures that the appliance is turned off and cold.
CLEANING: FASCIA
Abrasive or chemical cleaner should never be used.
CLEANING: PAINTED SURFACES
These surfaces should be dusted regularly and any marks removed with a soft cloth.
Abrasive or chemical cleaner should never be used.
CLEANING: PILOT ASSEMBLY
(Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is turned off and
cold)
In some instances you may experience ignition problems even
when the appliance is new. This may be due to the aeration hole
in the pilot body (see photograph) being partial blocked with
dust, pet hairs, or other foreign matter. The source of this debris
could be such things as carpet fibres, decorating or pets etc.
To gain access to the pilot, remove the ash pan cover and fret or
fascia.
The pilot is located on the right hand side of the appliance, any
debris in or around the aeration hole should be remove using
the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. It is advisable not to blow the
debris into the hole as this may cause more of a restriction and
not rectify the problem.
Note: - Take care when cleaning in this area so as not to damage the pilot assembly.
GLASS CLEANING
From time to time it will be necessary to clean the glass panel of your 660 PC fire. We recommend
you use a Ceramic hob cleaner these are available for all leading super markets: - i.e. ASDA,
TESCO, SAINSBURY’S Etc.
Brands of hob cleaning we have tested and found suitable are - HOB BRITE & VITRO CLEAN.
Ensure the fire as been turned OFF for at least four hours to ensure it is cool.
Remove the glass panel as described below.
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 as 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.
Important: - The appliance must not be used if the glass panel is missing or damaged.
Note: - The glass may discolour quickly when first installed, and it should be cleaned. This is
due to the burning off process of the refractory shapes.
*The top of the outer firebox is not a working surface and therefore you should avoid placing
items on top*
