1. SAFETY
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the stove before and after working on the stove. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.
Installer
Tiger stoves are efficient appliances giving off convected, conducted and radiated heat. All the surfaces of the stove, except the controls, are working surfaces and become hot in use. They must not be touched or have any combustible objects or materials placed on or near them. A fire guard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young children, the elderly, the infirm or pet animals.
The appliance is fitted with a flue safety device. If the appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have been thoroughly checked. Under no circumstances should the flue safety device be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers replacement part should be fitted.

9.2 Flame supervision and spillage monitoring system.
The pilot unit incorporates a system that will automatically shut off the gas supply if the pilot flame goes out. Check that the system operates properly as follows:
1. Light the appliance. Set at the “HIGH” position and leave for one minute.
2a. Manual Control models
Turn the control knob to the ‘OFF’ position. The pilot and main burner will go out.
2b. Remote Control (RC) models
Set to the low burning position. Isolate the gas supply at the inlet "T" connector. The pilot and main burner will go out.
Note the time when the pilot goes out. Listen for a snap sound at the gas tap. Note
the time when the sound is heard. This sound is caused by an electromagnetic valve shutting off the gas supply through the tap. The valve is located in the body of the tap. The valve should operate within 60 seconds of the pilot going out. If the valve does not operate within this time limit do not allow the appliance to be used until the fault has been corrected.
This monitoring system must not be adjusted, bypassed or put out of operation.
This monitoring system, or any of its parts, must only be exchanged using authorised parts.
Remote Control (RC) models.

-
Point out that lighting instruction details are on the information label attached to the burner at the bottom of the appliance.
Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the owner guide under
“Operating your stove”. Advise that if the stove goes out for any reason, wait at least ten minutes before relighting. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off the stove, the appliance should be switched off and a specialist should be consulted.
Advise the customer that they should read their owner guide before operating the stove and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning your stove”.
Stress that no extra ceramic fuel effect pieces must be added over and above those supplied with the appliance and that any replacements must only be the authorised spares. Warn that ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of combustion with consequent health hazards.
Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply turn the control knob to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
Recommend that the appliance should be serviced by a competent person at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
Explain to the customer that when operating the stove 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 approximately twelve hours use.

OWNER GUIDE of this stove are considered to be working surfaces and so will become very hot when in use. Always take care when using this appliance.
Do wait three minutes before attempting to relight if the gas stove is switched off or the flames are extinguished for any reason (Your gas stove is fitted with a safety device that will automatically shut off the gas supply to the gas stove, if for any reason, the flame goes out. If this operates then wait at least ten minutes before operating the stove).
Do get advice about the suitability of any wall covering near your gas stove. 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.
Do not use this stove with the door open or with the glass panel damaged or removed. The door should always be secured shut (See “Cleaning your stove”).
If the window is damaged or will not close securely the stove must be turned off and not used until the window is changed or corrected by a competent service engineer.
Do not hang clothing, towels or any other fabrics over the gas stove.
Do not put more loose ceramic coals on the gas stove than the number given in the guide supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. This may have been attached to or placed inside this guide. Never use any ceramic coals other than those authorised for this gas stove. Incorrect combustion and subsequent health hazard could result.
Do not put paper or other materials into your gas stove.
Do not use the gas stove with damaged base ceramics.
Do not place any combustible material (rugs, carpet, plastic tiles, etc.) on the hearth.
Do not attempt to clean or service the gas stove until it has been switched off and allowed to cool completely.
Do not leave the stove on if the house is left unoccupied for a long period. We recommend that the stove is turned fully off.

OWNER GUIDE
OPERATING YOUR STOVE
PLEASE NOTE
When operating your stove 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 approximately twelve hours use.
This stove is supplied with ceramic “coals” and “logs” to simulate a real coal/log stove. After some use, the coals/logs may change colour. This is quite normal.
The 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 gas stove if the pilot flame goes out for any reason. If the device starts to shut off the gas frequently,
get expert advice.
The system 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 or remote button is kept depressed at the PILOT/IGN position.
If the safety system operates and the flames go out wait at least ten minutes before
attempting to relight.
Always make sure that the door is securely closed before lighting.
If the gas valve is operated to turn the stove off always wait at least three minutes
before attempting to relight.
Always make sure that the door is securely closed before lighting.
Operating the MANUAL CONTROL burner.
To light the burner
-
Depress the control knob and rotate it SLOWLY anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position (See figure 2). A 'click' will be heard as the integral piezo operates. A flame should appear at the pilot. The pilot can be seen by looking through the gap in the fuel effect (See figure 3). Keep the control knob depressed and hold the pilot ignition position for five seconds. When the control knob is released the pilot flame should remain lit. If a flame does not appear at the pilot then turn the control knob clockwise to the 'OFF' position and repeat the above.

Operating the burner.
-
When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti-clockwise to
'HIGH' position. (Depress the knob slightly to get past the pilot ignition position). The main burner should now light.
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the 'HIGH' position and turn back (clockwise) to
'LOW'. While turning, the burner flames should gradually become lower but remain alight.
Depress the control knob slightly to release from the 'LOW' position and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position. The main burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn OFF. This will extinguish the pilot.
While cooling, the ceramic fuel effects may

make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.
Figure 3b.
Note i) If the flames go out while setting the control, repeat the full lighting procedure. If the flames repeatedly go out have the stove serviced.
ii) Please note. When first turned on the flames will appear predominantly blue. The fuel effect pieces will take time to warm up. Although some glow will be seen after approximately ten minutes, the full visual effect will only be apparent after a somewhat longer time.
iii) The appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of operation. To do this, simply slide the control button to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed during previous operations.
iv) If operating the appliance for long periods it is beneficial occasionally to change the settings. This will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during operation.
