INTRODUCTION
The Paragon P8 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 P8 incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot, with variable setting
between low and high settings and is operated via remote control. The system is powered by a
battery pack; therefore no mains electrical supply is required.
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 P8 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.
The pilot can be left on (standby setting) or the pilot can be extinguished and relit each time the
fire is used.

SECTION ONE Introduction Continued
The Paragon P8 is battery operated; therefore no mains electrical supply is required. Power to the
appliance is provided by 6 high power alkaline 1.5V batteries (AA size) (a spare set of 6 AA batteries
is supplied with the appliance).
If you hear a repeated ‘bleep’ sound come from the appliance this indicates the appliance battery
pack is low and should be changed. If this is ignored the system will go into a lock out mode, which
will not allow the appliance to be use until a new set of batteries are loaded. (See Page 6)
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 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.

SECTION TWO Operating the Appliance
Before attempting to operate the appliance check
that nothing has been placed in front of the
appliance that may interfere with the remote sensor
operation.
To light the appliance using the remote hand set:
a. Point the remote control hand set in the direction of
the appliance and simultaneously press the buttons
marked ‘ off’ and ‘standby’. Continue to hold in
these two buttons until a ‘bleep’ is heard
(approximately 2-3 sec.) and then release these
buttons. 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). If the ignitor stops sparking and the pilot
fails to light, repeat this procedure.
b. The appliance can be adjusted up or down by pressing the
appropriate button
' '
(low setting) or
' '
(high setting).There are 5 heat settings and the fire will
give a double bleep when the maximum or minimum heat setting is reached. To switch off the
appliance press the OFF
' '
button or if the appliance is to be switch off for a short period it is
recommended that the ‘standby’ button be used. This switches the main burner off but leaves the
pilot on and will extend battery life.
c. The appliance can be switched off with out using the hand set by removing the appliance
batteries located behind the ash pan cover. When the batteries are removed there will be a delay
(up to 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. If the fire fails to light or
extinguishes for any reason, it will be necessary to re-set the fire. This can be done by pressing
the off button then following the normal lighting procedure.
NOTE: If the fire is extinguished for any reason wait 3 minutes before relighting.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION (HAND SET)
If while pressing any of the buttons on the remote hand
set the low battery indicator lamp either stops flashing
or appreciably slows then the battery should be
changed.
TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN HAND SET (AAA 1.5 V
LR3 X2 )
Remove the cover from the rear of the handset and fit
replacement batteries, taking care not to strain the
battery connections.
LOW BATTERY INDICATION (APPLIANCE)
If you hear a repeated ‘bleep’ sound come from the
appliance this indicates the appliance battery pack is
low and should be changed as soon as possible. The appliance will continue to work normally for a
short period but if the warning is ignored you may experience difficulty lighting the appliance or the
appliance may automatically switch off for no apparent reason.
NOTE: The appliance cannot be used when the battery is completely flat.
P8 Users Instructions
TO REPLACE APPLIANCE BATTERIES (6 High Power Alkaline AA 1.5V)
(Rechargeable batteries can be used providing they are a nickel metal hydride type 1.5V AA
with a minimum capacity of 2200mAh).
a. Remove the two side panels (held on by magnets)
b. Lift out the front grill
c. The battery holder is located at the left hand side. Carefully lift out the battery holder and replace
the six high power alkaline AA batteries as a complete set, or recharge where rechargeable
batteries have been used. If rechargeable batteries are used they MUST be a Nickel Metal
Hydride type with a minimum capacity of 2200mAh
d. WARNING: batteries will overheat if fitted incorrectly, when fitting the batteries ensure that
they are fitted as per the marking on the rear of the holder (i.e. minus of battery against
spring)
e. Once the new batteries are loaded the fire will continue to bleep until re-set. This can be done by
pressing the “off “button on the handset followed by the normal ignition sequence as above. If the
fire continues to bleep this may indicate a loose connection or badly loaded batteries

SECTIONTHREE Cleaning Continued
GLASS CLEANING
From time to time it will be necessary to clean the glass panel of your P4. 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 fuel bed shapes.
REMOVING GLASS PANEL
Remove the two side covers LH and RH which
are held on with magnets.
Undo the four M4 nuts retaining the glass
fixing bracket using the tool provided then
pull clear from location studs.
