OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remote Control
The height of the flames can be regulated by remote
control, which will turn button B (fig. 8) on the gas control
block. Press the bottom button on the remote control for
a smaller flame; press the upper button for a higher flame.
Manually adjusting button B will have the same effect. A
certain force is required when rotating button B, a clicking
sound is quite normal.
Pilot light setting
If the heater is not in use but you would like the pilot light
to remain alight, set button A to the small flame.The gas
supply to the main burner will then be switched off.
Switching off
Turn button A to the "0" setting.The gas supply to the
burners will then be switched off.
Important
A built-in safety lock is activated when the appliance is
switched to the "0" setting (closed down setting).
Therefore, wait 5 minutes before relighting the heater.
Within this period, do not try to push the lighting button,
as this has been blocked by the safety lock. Do not force
the button, as this may result in damage to the mechanism.
GENERAL NOTES
Gas Safety Regulations (for installation & use) 1998
In your own interest and that of safety, it is law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons in
accordance with the above regulations. Failure to install
appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
NB: The Council of Registered Gas Installers,
whose members are identified by the emblem
shown here, are all required to work to the
recognised standards.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Periodical maintenance should be carried out by a
registered installer.You are recommended to free the
heater of dust before and occasionally during the heating
season. In time, a deposit can form on the inside of the
glass that is best removed with a damp cloth and a non-
abrasive cleaning agent (such as copper polish). Do not use
abrasives when cleaning the heater. Damage to the casing
varnish, caused by anything being put on the appliance, is
not covered by the guarantee.
NB: When replacing the thermocouple, the coupling nut in
the gas control block should first be tightened by hand and
then tightened a quarter-turn with an
open-ended spanner.
Discoloration of walls and ceiling
Brown discoloration is an annoying problem, which is
difficult to solve. It can be caused by dust burning as a
result of poor ventilation, for example, or by cigarette
smoke or candles.
These problems can be avoided by ensuring that the room
the heater is in is properly ventilated. A good guideline for
ventilation is:
New buildings
: 3.24 m
surface of the room.
Existing buildings
: 25.20 m
Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible, keeping the
wick as short as possible.While they Enhance the
atmosphere, candles and oil lamps also cause the
formation of large quantities of unhealthy soot particles in
your home. Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar, which
upon heating will precipitate on cold or damp walls. If you
have a newly cemented chimney or have had any other
reconstructions / renovations done, you are advised to
wait at least 6 weeks before lighting your fire, to allow the
walls, floor and ceiling to dry out completely.
