PARAGON FOCUS RS PLUS REMOTE Users Instructions
SECTION ONE Important Information Cont.
The PARAGON FOCUS RS REMOTE 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); these batteries can be
changed to Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries providing they have a minimum
capacity of 2200 mAh. A set of 6 high power alkaline 1.5V batteries (AA size) would give in the
order of 200 -380 operations while 6 rechargeable batteries when fully charged would give
approximately 200-300 operations. These figures are only given for guidance and may vary
depending on how the appliance is used and the battery manufacturer and quality.
A special long life lithium battery is available as an optional extra and would be expected to give in
excess of 12 months normal use (a minimum of 1000 operations), however it is not subject to the
guarantee. For more information call the telephone number located on the back of this booklet.
Using the standby facility when the appliance is switched off for short periods can extend battery life.
The standby facility switches off the mains gas supply to the appliance but the pilot remains alight.
An audible repeated bleep warning indicates that the appliance batteries need changing or charging
(if rechargeable batteries have been used).
Important: Batteries should be changed or recharged as soon as possible as the appliance
will not light if the battery power gets to low.
Although the PARAGON FOCUS RS PLUS REMOTE is fitted with a glass front which acts as a
dress guard it is strongly recommended that a fireguard should be used for the protection of
children, the elderly or infirm. Fireguards should conform to B. S. 6539 (1984) (Fireguards for use
with solid fuel appliance).
The slot located at the top of the PARAGON FOCUS RS PLUS REMOTE are the hot air outlets
and as such must not be obstructed in any way (particularly by clothes or other combustibles). In
addition the base of the appliance should not be obstructed by such items as this may adversely
affect the performance of the appliance.
Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or
decoration. Many wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance, it is
strongly recommended that any proposed wall covering intended for use immediately above the
appliance should be tested in the hottest position (immediately above) first. Run the fire on high
over a few days
All combustible material must be removed from behind the fire and fire trim.
The first time you light your new appliance a smell may occur due to its new condition. This is
quite normal and will soon disappear after a few hours use at maximum setting (open a window
until the smell disappears).
The appliance MUST NOT be used if the glass panel is not correctly fitted or if this panel is
cracked or broken.
Any debris should be cleaned from the appliance. A vacuum cleaner can be used but only after all
the loose coals have been removed.
Prior to removing or cleaning the fuel bed components refer to the ‘Health and Safety
Notice’ located on page 3 of this booklet.
The appliance should be serviced annually by a competent person i.e. a GAS SAFE registered
engineer in accordance with these instructions.
