2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Bellfi res gas fi re with an open combustion system.

This quality product will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the fl ame effect and warmth that it provides.

Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the appliance for the fi rst time. Keep this booklet in a safe place.

2.2 BUILT-IN PROTECTION OF THE APPLIANCE

The appliance is fully protected by means of a thermo-electric pilot light shut off in the event of a gas escape from the main burner. Furthermore, the appliance is fi tted with an “oxy-stop” pilot fl ame that shuts down the burner if the fl ue gas is insuffi ciently exhausted.

This atmosphere protection; the “oxy-stop” pilot light, should not replace an independently installed carbon monoxide detector.

2.2.1 Safety

Do not place embers, vermiculite granules, wood logs or pebbles against the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot fl ame can burn at all times freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper ignition of the main burner ensured.

Ignoring these directions could lead to a dangerous situation.

Do not place fl ammable objects within 100 cm of the appliance. Pay special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the fi re.

When igniting the pilot light and burner, always keep a minimum distance of 100 cm from the front of the appliance.

If the pilot fl ame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to re-light it.

It is essential that the appliance, the fl ue and the burner air intake are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fi tter/gas specialist.

The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed. For this, please refer to the Installation instructions (Chapter 2: Maintenance), that are supplied separately with each appliance.

The gas fi re must never be used with the door open or the door glass removed.

Instructions for use

9

Bellfi res

English

Never place fl ammable material on the ceramic log set.

The fi lling of the main burner with embers and wood logs, or pebbles, may not under any circumstances be changed or added to.

Do not place easily-fl ammable materials, such as nylon clothing or fl ammable liquids, in the vicinity of the gas fi re.

Ensure at all times that children and other people who are not aware of the operation of the gas appliance are only in the vicinity of the appliance exclusively under supervision.

Use a fi reguard to protect the people and children mentioned above against possible burns.

2.3 OPERATION: REMOTE CONTROL

Figure 1: Remote control

2.3.1 General

Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fi re !!

The appliance is opperated by radio remote control.

This comprises a hand-held transmitter and a receiver. The receiver is part of the gas control block assembly.

10

Instructions for use

Bellfi res

English

The receiver and the gas control block are onder in the appliance.

If the appliance is supplied with a convection fan (option) and/or ambient lighting

(option), these are then connected to a module. In this case the module is situated on the side of the receiver.

The hand-held transmitter and receiver are powered by batteries.

Hand-held transmitter : 1x 9V battery.

Receiver : 4x 1.5V battery type LR6 or AA.

Option: 6V adapter (230 VAC). Available from your fi tter.

The module is fed from mains.

Module : 230 VAC.

The module for connecting the convection fan and ambient lighting also supplies power to the receiver. In this case the receiver does not require batteries. If the receiver is supplied with batteries, then the appliance will continue to function when power is down.

Note: Hand-held transmitter and receiver are not interchangeable with previous models.

The pilot light is situated in the front of the burner, behind a cowl. Should the pilot light

go out, you must wait fi ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-ignite the fi re.

Important

Once the fi re is lit, it must burn at maximum for approx. 10 minutes to allow the chimney to come up to temperature!

2.3.2 Hand-held transmitter

The remote control works by radio signal. The hand-held transmitter is confi gured in the factory with a unique signal code.

Replacing the batteries

• The hand-held transmitter/receiver batteries have a service life of approx. one year.

We recommend you use alkaline batteries.

Rechargeable batteries are not permitted.

• If the receiver’s batteries are nearly empty, the system will turn the appliance off completely. This will not occur if the receiver is connected to an adaptor (6V) (option) or if the appliance has a module for a convection fan (option) and/or light (option).

• The batteries must be replaced whenever:

1 Hand-held transmitter : The battery symbol indicates this in the display.

: Battery fully charged : Battery empty

2 Receiver: 3x short audio signal, audible when the motor-knob operates.

1 Hand-held transmitter:

* Open the cover on the back of the transmitter.

* Carefully remove the 9V battery and disconnect it from the contact.

Do not pull the wires!

* Connect the new battery and replace in the battery compartment. Close the cover.

2 Receiver:

* Carefully pull the receiver assembly out of the compartment behind the facade of

the appliance.

* Open the cover.

* Remove the batteries from the battery compartment.

* Place four new 1.5V batteries (LR6 or AA type) as indicated in the battery

compartment. The negative end (-) of the battery must always be at the contact

3 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

The gas fi re is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During the fi rst hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an unpleasant smell. This is harmless, however. Operating the gas fi re at full capacity for a few hours, while ventilating the room, will eliminate the smell.

After using your gas fi re for the fi rst few times, you may be aware of a light deposit on the inside off the glass. This is caused by the paint curing. Once your fi replace has cooled down, this deposit can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.

Instructions for use

23

Bellfi res

English

4 DAILY MAINTENANCE

• Ensure that as little dust, and as few particles of cigarette smoke, candles and oil

lamps as possible pollute the air in the room in which the appliance is used. Heating

of these particles by the convection system of the appliance could lead to

discoloration of the walls and ceiling. It is therefore very important to ensure that the

room in which the appliance is located is suffi ciently ventilated. Regularly remove

any dust deposits from behind the facade (top and bottom sides) by means of a

vacuum cleaner.

Important: • Regularly clean the glass on the inside of the appliance with glass spray or ceramic hob cleaner.

(See installation instructions for dismantling/assembling the glass.)

Attention ! • If the glass is not cleaned on time, this can result in becoming dull and diffi cult, if not impossible, to clean.

• Careful with glass cleaner ! Make sure that no glass cleaner liquid fl ows in the sealing of the inside of the glass pane at the bottom of the door.

Spray each time a little glass cleaner liquid on the glass, and polish it off immediately.

Glass cleaner liquid in the sealing of the door can cause dissolving of the black border on the inside of the glass. It will become very spotty and can’t be repaired.

• If the glass is broken or cracked, it must be immediately replaced before operating the gas fi re again.

Broken ceramic heat-resistant glass may not be disposed in a glass recycling container, but must be included in normal household waste.

• If anything is spilt on the fi re, switch it off immediately and wait for it to cool

down suffi ciently before cleaning. Never use scouring powder, aggressive

cleaners or fi re polish on the gas fi re. Use only a dry lint free cloth.

• Heat resistant lacquer in aerosols can be obtained from your distributor. During the yearly maintenance, the lacquer can be used to repair small areas of damage.

5 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

It is essential that the appliance, the fl ue and the burner air intake are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fi tter/gas specialist.

The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed.
