TO LIGHT AND OPERATE ••

-------,

WARNING: Ifthe flames are found to be extinguished and the control is not in the OFF position, the control knob should be returned to

the OFF position and no attempt should be made to light the gas until at least 3 minutes have elapsed.

SAFETY

The fire isfitted with a flame supervision device and an atmosphere sensing device which will shut off the gas supply iffor any reason the

pilot goes out. The device will also extinguish the pilot if the oxygen content in the room falls below a prescribed level. If the fire keeps

going out, the fault must be rectified immediately by a competent person.

jy

The control knob is illustrated in Fig. 2 and has the markings OFF, HIGH, MED, ECON and PILOT.

The control knob is located on the right side ofthe fire. Depress the control knob to the PILOT IIGN position until the ignition starts. Keep

the control knob pushed in for a further 10 seconds before releasing. The pilot should remain lit and the control knob will spring back to
the ECON position .. Refer to Fig. 3 for viewing ofthe pilot when lit.

When the pilot is established, slide the control knob to the HIGH position. Your fire is now operating on full heat input. You may now slide
the control knob to any the position, HIGH, LOWor ECON.

--------,

Generally the fire will only need dusting. Any painted
surface or metal part should be cleaned with a damp
cloth only. Never use any abrasive materials or metal

polish on painted surfaces or metal parts.

FUEL EFFECT COMPONENTS

From time to time you may need to remove loose

coals for dusting. The appearance of the fire after you

have removed the loose coals is shown in Fig. 4. Use

a soft brush to remove any powdery deposits from the

loose coals. Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean the

coals. If you need to remove the coal bed to dust

away larger particles then it is recommended that you

first remove the outer case. As you lift out the coal bed

take care that you do not damage it against the pilot

burner and also take precautions that particles do not

fall on your carpet etc.

As well as loose coals and coal bed there are a rear

coal and side cheeks which you will not need to

remove but can be dusted in situ after removing the

coal bed. Remove any deposits on the burner with a

soft brush

When replacing the coal bed put it in rear end first to

avoid damage against the pilot. The coalbed is a close

fit in the burner tray. Ensure that it is properly located

by sliding it sideways and front to back. Replace the
loose coals. Place five loose coals in the front
recesses with their decorative faces forward. Similarly
place the remaining four loose coals on top of the
recesses formed by the front loose coals and touching

the rear coal (Fig. 5). Ensure that the loose coals are

stable and not likely to fall off.

Periodically vacuum away any loose particles that
have fallen on the hearth or into the base of the fire.
