LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE – MANUAL FIRE
FOR A FIRE WITH THERMATRONIC ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM SEE SEPARATE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
a. Turning pilot on from off position depress knob and turn anti-clockwise until it sparks.
More than one attempt may be required to light the pilot. Once lit hold in for about 10 seconds.
Release knob and turn to pilot position.
b. To turn burner on from pilot position depress knob and turn anti-clockwise to low flame.
To go to high flame depress knob again and turn anti-clockwise as far as it will go.
The flame can be varied to any point between high and low as desired.
c. To turn off depress knob and turn clockwise depressing knob at each point as you go
all the way round to off.
IMPORTANT NOTES
d. This appliance is fitted with an oxygen depletion sensing system, which automatically shuts off the gas supply to the main
burner if the oxygen level in the room is depleted, due to a lack of primary air, or obstructed flue that would lead to incomplete
combustion of the gas.
e. In the event that the fire shuts down due to any reason, attempt to restart it. If there is a continuing problem call in a properly
qualified specialist engineer.
f. There are no user replaceable parts in this appliance.
g. Do not change the fire front or fret supplied without checking with the supplier of this unit. A minimum primary air
inlet area of 50 sq. cm is required for the safe and efficient operation of the fire. Failure to observe this instruction is
potentially dangerous and will possibly invalidate the guarantee.
h. Regularly inspect the purpose provided ventilator (if fitted) to check that it is free from any obstruction.
i. The chimney should be regularly checked to ensure that all the products of combustion are entering the flue & that there is no
build up of soot. If there is, the appliance must be cleaned.
CLEANING THE FIRE
a. Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean the appliance as you will suck up the vermiculite.
b. Gently remove the simulated coal, pebbles, logs or driftwood one by one & remove soot deposits with a soft brush.
c. The vermiculite granules should be level with the top edge of the burner tray. Top up the vermiculite granules if required.
Ensure that vermiculite granules are not obstructing the burner slots or fouling the pilot burner assembly.
d. Coal, pebble, log & driftwood effect fires: Re-lay as shown on the relevant drawing. Do not add more simulated coals,
pebbles, logs or driftwood or change the firebed layout in anyway.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Simulated coals, simulated pebbles, simulated logs,
simulated driftwood or crushed rock manufactured
from refractory fibre, are supplied with this appliance.
Do not use real coals, pebbles, logs or driftwood, as
this is dangerous. If the simulated coals, simulated
pebbles, simulated logs or simulated driftwood need
renewing please obtain suitable replacements from a
Nu-Flame stockist.
