OPERATING YOUR FIRE
The Oxysafe flame sensing & flue blockage safety system.
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a flue blockage safety device which 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 which 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 in 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 slide control is shown in figure 3.
1. Slide the control button to the bottom (ignition)
position marked on ‘Dream’ model or on
‘Opulent’ and ‘Heritage’ models. In this position, the
electronic ignition system should cause a series of
sparks that should light the pilot. Within four seconds of
the pilot igniting, the main burner should light at its
minimum setting.
If no sparks are produced to light the pilot, the battery
may need replacing. Details of battery replacement are
given further on in this manual.
Until you can obtain a replacement battery the fire can
be lit with a taper as described later in the instructions.
2. Keep the button at the ignition position for a further
ten seconds. This will prevent the flame-sensing device from shutting off the gas
while its probe warms up as explained above.
3. If low heat is required, release the button. The button will automatically spring up to
the low heat position shown in figure 3 (See note i below). If for any reason the slider
control does not spring up, raise the slider to the off (O) position (Topmost position)
and contact your installer.
