We wish you happy heating with the purchase of this gas fire.
Please read these instructions carefully before you install the fire and start using it.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
Always quote type and serial number in the event of a problem.
1. General
The Apertura is delivered complete. You should inspect the appliance for damage in transit immediately on
delivery. Any damage found should be reported without delay and as precisely as possible to your supplier.
Please refer to the delivery document in this connection. Your fire is coated with heat-resistant enamel that
can withstand extremely high temperatures. Burn the fire at high during the first hours of use and ventilate
the room well. The curing of the enamel may produce a smell/smoke, but this is harmless, however.
After the window has cooled down, any marks on the glass should be removed immediately with glass
cleaner.
Important information
The Apertura must be installed, connected and inspected by a recognized installer, in accordance with national and regional standards. The appliance must be checked by the installer for gas tightness to gas and
combustion products and the correct operation of the various components and functions. In addition, the
flue system and the outlets in external walls or roof surface must comply with current regulations. The fire
falls within the category of closed appliances in an installation space, without blower and with a flue loss
in excess of 17 % (non-condensing).
Guarantee ( see page 21 and 22)
Always complete your guarantee card in full and return it to your supplier immediately after purchase.

Adjusting the temperature display (ºC en ºF)
After the 9 V battery (B-1) has been connected, the auto and timer buttons can be pressed simultaneously
to change the temperature setting. The display will start flashing and the adjustment mode has now been activated. Change temperature from ºF to ºC by pressing the auto button. This function can also be used to set
the clock at the correct time, by pressing the high/low buttons high: hours, low: minutes.
The display will automatically return to the Start position, but this can also be done by pushing the timer
button.
Setting the required temperature
Press the auto button until the display starts to flash. Use the high/low buttons to set the required tempera-
ture. Wait or now press the auto button again and the display will return to the auto
position. A temperature
sensor in the remote control measures the ambient temperature. The remote control compares the ambient
temperature with the temperature set and subsequently sends a signal to the receiver, which operates the gas
block motor to increase or reduce the flame height
Setting the timer function
Press the timer button until display P 1
* flashes. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the
time for the first heating period.
Press the timer button until display P 1
) appears. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the
time for the end of the first period.
Press the timer button until display P 2 * flashes. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the
time for the first heating period.
Press the timer button until display P 2 ) appears. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the
time for the end of the first heating period.
Either wait or press the timer button, and the display will return to the timer setting. If the symbol ) ap-
pears, the present time is outside the heating period.

Manual flame height adjustment using various modes
Press the high button to switch the fire on or to adjust the flame height upwards; use the low button to
lower the flame height or until only the pilot light is burning. The manual control function overrides all
functions. Simply press the high or low button in order to activate the manual control function. The trans-
mit symbol will then appear at the top left of the display. Just press the timer or auto button to adjust set-
tings in the timer or auto function. When the auto function is activated by pressing the auto button, the set
temperature will appear in the display for a short time, before changing to the ambient temperature. There
is only one adjustment option for the temperature (setting auto mode, see paragraph 2) for both heating pe-
riods P1 * and P2 * and the same applies in the timer mode. When the timer mode has been activated, the
auto button can be pressed to check the temperature setting and the timer button can then be pressed again
to return to the timer
mode. When the timer mode is in the ) position ( “off” outside the heating period),
the gas valve will now be turned back to the pilot light setting.
Changing the battery
When the text BAT appears in the top right of the display, replace the battery with a new one.
Remote control : 1x 9V block (alkaline recommended)
Receiver : 4x AA 1.5V (alkaline recommended)
NB
Before settings are adjusted by means of the auto
and timer modes, press one of the high/low buttons in
order to see whether the transmit symbol appears in the top left of the display, and the green LED on the
receiver (See Page 14 diagram 6-F1). This makes it possible to check whether the whole remote control/
receiver combination is working properly.
The temperature is controlled by the activity of the gas block motor in adjusting the appropriate flame
height for a specific length of time. Flame height is determined by variables such as the size of the room,
capacity of the fire, battery voltage, etc. The remote control measures how quickly the room temperature
increases when the fire is on and activates the gas block motor for a longer or shorter time during the following heating period (for better flame height adjustment). After a number of periods, the fire will keep on
burning at “low”, or between the “low” period and “off”, when the heat is sufficient to maintain the pre-set
heat.
Connections
The right-angled connectors (D) of the receiver wires must be attached to the flat 6.3 mm & 4.8 mm connections linked to the motor. The model with thermostat and timer must only be used in combination with
the GV 34 gas block or a modified (motorized) GV 36 gas block, and then only with a cover with micro
switch connection. The connectors (P) must be coupled to the flat 2.7 mm connectors on the micro switch
for this purpose.
Technical specifications
Radiographic Transmission: Frequency: ON 40.5 kHz, OFF 40 kHz / Range: 0.5…10m
Ambient temperature : Transmitter & Receiver: max. 60ºC / Connecting wires: max.180ºC

light burner).
· When the pilot light is burning, hold the knob pushed in for a further 20 seconds.
· Release knob (A1) and check whether the pilot light continues to burn. If this is not the case, repeat the
ignition operation.
· After the ignition of the pilot light turn knob A1 round to position
Igniting the main burner
Button (B6) on the remote control (B) is used to ignite the main burner.
· The flame height has an infinitely variable adjustment, which is operated by continuing to push button
(B6).
· The flame height can be infinitely adjusted downward by pushing button (B7) until the burner is com pletely extinguished.
Extinguishing
Turn the main fire off completely by holding button (B7) pushed in, before extinguishing the appliance
completely.
· Now turn knob A1 to the right as far as it will go, to position push the knob in and then turn it to
position
Warning
After extinguishing the pilot light, wait at least 5 minutes before turning the appliance on again. Do not
burn any wood or other fuel. Do not place any highly flammable articles nearby. Only install the appliance
in a well-ventilated room. The air supply to the appliance must be guaranteed at all times.
Maintenance
· The fire can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The appliance should be switched off immediately if any-
thing is spilled on it. Never use an abrasive !!!
· It is recommended to have the fire inspected and cleaned by an installer before
every heating season. If the
special glass is broken or cracked, have it replaced at once before you turn the fire on again.
Warning: Gas fires become hot when they are in use. Care must be exercised therefore and children and invalids, for example, should be kept away from burning fires. Fires must also never be placed on or against
flammable materials (curtains etc.).
3. Preparations for installing the Apertura
Remove the accessories inside the supports. Carefully take the supports out of the box, so that the appliance
comes clear. Always check all components for damage or breakage. The appliance is now ready to be installed.

4. Installation instructions for the Apertura with concentric duct connection
General instructions
The fire should only be installed and connected by a registered installer, in accordance with the local Gas
Appliance Instructions. Also see Page 3 “Important information”
Never place the fire against or in a flammable wall. The gas connection must be stress-free, to ensure no
damage occurs to the gas regulating equipment. Check the gas connections for leaks, using soapy water or
leak detection spray. The pipe should therefore be de-aerated first. Light the fire in accordance with the operating instructions and check that the shape of the flame is even. After the first firing, you should remove
any deposit left on the glass window by the curing of the enamel.
