IF YOU SMELL GAS
DON’T SMOKE
EXTINGUISH ALL NAKED FLAMES
DON’T TURN ELECTRICAL SWITCHES ON OR OFF
TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE METER
OPEN DOORS AND WINDOWS TO GET RID OF THE GAS
IMMEDIATELY CALL THE GAS EMERGENCY SERVICE – SEE YOUR
LOCAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY
DO
Have the fire installed by a competent person. In the United Kingdom, installation
must be in accordance with the latest edition of the Gas Safety (installation & use)
Regulations. In the Republic of Ireland, installation must be in accordance with all
national and local regulations in force.
Have the chimney swept prior to installation if it was previously used for solid
fuel.
Have the fire installed in accordance with the installation instructions
Allow a minimum clearance of 90mm from the top of the appliance case to the
underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the case to be lifted off for servicing and
also allows sufficient access to operate the control knob. For a shelf made from wood or
other combustible materials deeper than 150mm the minimum clearance must be as
shown in graph 1. Please bear this in mind if ever you add a shelf.
Provide a suitable guard that complies with BS 8423 for the protection of young
children, the elderly and the infirm. Such a guard is also recommended for the
protection of pet animals. (Although this fire conforms to all the applicable standards, it
is a heating appliance and certain parts of its surface will become hot.)
Note: The guard supplied with the fire acts as a fireguard conforming to BS1945:1971
and satisfies the Heating Appliance (Fireguard) (Safety) Regulations 1991.

DO
Wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the fire is switched off or the
flames are extinguished for any reason. (Your fire is fitted with a safety device that will
automatically shut off the gas supply to the fire if, for any reason, the flames go out.)
Get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your fire. Soft wall
coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) which have a raised pattern are easily affected by
heat. They may, therefore, scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating
appliance. Please bear this in mind whenever you are considering redecorating.
Provide a minimum clearance of 50mm between the outer case sides and any
corner wall having combustible material or other combustible surface which projects
beyond the front of the fire (See figure 1). Please bear this in mind if ever you are
considering altering the room.
DON’T
Hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the fire.
Fill in the space behind the case.
Use the fire without the dress guard being in position.
Attempt to clean or service the fire until it has been switched off and allowed to
cool completely.
Use the fire with damaged radiants.

OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device that will shut
down the appliance in the event of abnormal flue conditions. This device is NOT a
substitute for an independently mounted Carbon Monoxide detector.
The device will also automatically shut off the gas
supply to the fire if the pilot flame goes out due to
lack of oxygen or for any other reason.
If this device starts to repeatedly shut off the gas,
get expert advice.
This device incorporates a probe that senses that the
heat from the pilot flame is correct. If this probe is
cool, the device will prevent any gas flow unless
the control knob is held down at the ignition
position.
If, for any reason, the flames go out when the fire is
hot or if the fire is turned off when hot, always wait
at least three minutes before attempting to
relight.
To light the fire
The control is shown in Figure 2.
Depress the control knob and turn
anticlockwise towards the 1/IGN position. A
spark should be generated at the pilot while
turning. The spark should ignite the pilot. If
it does not, keeping the knob depressed,
continue to turn the knob anticlockwise. A
second spark should ignite the pilot. The
pilot flame can be seen through the opening
immediately below the centre radiant – See
figure 3.
If the pilot does not light, turn the knob back

OWNER GUIDE
PLEASE NOTE
When operating your fire for the first time, some vapours may be given off which may
cause a slight odour and could possibly set off any smoke alarms in the immediate
vicinity. These vapours are quite normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.
Figure 2. Control
Figure 3. Pilot flame viewing
to OFF and try again.
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition mechanism the pilot can be lit with a
long match or taper – See the next page.
When the pilot has lit keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow the
flame sensing probe to warm up.
The control knob can then be set to your preferred heat level. The settings are:
To turn off partially depress the knob and turn clockwise to off. Wait at least three
minutes before attempting to relight.
Lighting with a match or taper
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise towards the 1/IGN position.
While keeping the knob depressed, light the pilot by inserting a long match or
taper into the pilot viewing opening (See figure 3).
When the pilot is alight, keep the knob depressed for about ten seconds to allow
the flame sensing probe to warm up before setting to your preferred heat level.
For your own convenience, have the heater serviced as soon as possible.

CLEANING
Turn the fire off and allow it to cool before attempting any cleaning.
Normally the fire will only need dusting. The bright metal trims may be cleaned with a
damp cloth and dried with a soft duster. Obstinate marks can be removed from the guard
and trims using soapy water. Never use abrasive cleaners.
The radiants can be cleaned with a soft brush - see below for how to remove the
radiants.
REPLACING THE RADIANTS
See figure 4.
Turn the fire off
and allow it to cool
before attempting to
remove the radiants.
Remove the dress
guard by pressing
down the two hooks at
the top. Tilt the guard
forward and lift out.
Lift the radiant
upward to clear the
metal retaining bar
then pull out bottom
first.
Fit the new
radiant by inserting its
top under the top lip of
the radiant box then
swing the bottom of
the radiant over and behind the retaining bar. It is important that the back face of the
radiant should rest against the rear ribs in the firebox. There will be a small gap
between the bottom front edge of the radiant and the retaining bar.

OWNER GUIDE
Always use the
correct type of
replacement radiant.
Ask for part number
0544649 (GC No. 125
164).
Figure 4. Replacing radiant
Replace the dress guard. Locate the bottom of the dress guard in the two holes in
the bottom panel apron. Push the guard back so that the two spring projections at the top
of the guard engage in the slots under the front decorative canopy.
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance
In order to achieve and maintain high levels of personal safety and performance
efficiency, it is essential that the opening at the back of the fire and the flue are kept
clear of any form of obstruction. It is possible that deposits of mortar or soot could fall
and accumulate causing the flue to be blocked or restricted and so preventing proper
clearance of dangerous exhaust fumes.
In the United Kingdom it is the law that a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue
and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every
twelve months by a competent person (In the U.K., a CORGI registered installer).
We recommend that all gas appliances and their flues, wherever situated, are checked
annually.
Servicing
In the United Kingdom servicing can be carried out either by a Valor Service
engineer or a CORGI registered installer.
If you require your fire to be serviced, please contact British Gas or Scottish Gas
TELEPHONE 0845 950 0400 and please quote the following details which can be
found on a ‘swing’ plate located below the burner behind the bottom hearth casting
a) Model and G.C. number.
b) Serial Number (To be found on a label near the bottom of the right side of
the case.)
