The fan is powered by a small adapter (provided) which plugs into a conventional wall socket. 
The adapter has a variable output from 3 to 12 watts so you can select your preferred speed. 
On  the  higher  settings  there  will  inevitably  be  a  little  noise  from  the  fan,  so  if  you  are  sitting 
reading  you  may  wish to  choose one  of  the lower  speeds. The  fire may  be  used  without  the 
fan  connected  at  all,  for  example  if  there  is  a  power  cut  or  there  is  not  a  convenient  power 
supply nearby, this will not damage the fire. 

 

Minimising the Heat Loss from your House 

A flued gas fire is connected to a flue or chimney to draw away the waste gases, generally this 
is far larger than is needed so it also draws a lot of the warm air from your room. The flue duct 
on  the  Surefire  has  been  calculated  to  only  allow  the  waste  gases  to  be  extracted  with  a 
minimal amount of heat loss. 

 

Flue Damper 

Because hot air rises, the hotter a flue or chimney gets, the harder it pulls the air. To counter 
this the Surefire has a unique damper which senses the temperature of the gases leaving the 
fire, and automatically opens or closes the opening to the flue. If you have a particularly poorly 
performing chimney the installer might disable this function. 

 

Baffle to Close the Flue 

Not  only  does  the  Surefire  regulate  the  opening  to  the  flue  when  the  fire  is  in  use,  it  also 
closes the flue when the fire is not in use. 

 

A chimney or flue connected to a normal gas fire will extract all the air from an average sized 
room once every hour, 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year. This is a huge amount of air 
being  lost,  warm  air  that  you  have  already  paid  to  heat.  Another  exclusive  feature  of  the 
Surefire is a baffle which closes the flue when not in use, keeping the warm air in your house. 
This massing saving is not included in the Surefire’s 94.7% efficiency rating, it is in addition to 
this. 

 

The fire is designed so it cannot be turned on when the damper is in the closed position 

 

Slide Control 

The slide control has been selected and developed to allow easy, high level, trouble free use. 
The operation works as follows: 
• 

Starting at the upper position, push the slider lever down to its lower position, at this 

point gas is allowed through to the pilot and you will hear the ignitor clicking. 
• 

You  will  see  the  pilot  light  through  the  coals  at  the  front  right  side.  Once  the  pilot 

lights, continue to keep the lever pushed down for a further 10 seconds. If it is not held down 
the flame failure device will not recognise that the fire has been lit and the pilot will shutdown 
again. 
• 

Release  the  lever  and  lift  it  to  roughly  the  half  way  position,  this  will  allow  gas  to 

pass to the main burner and will light the fire on ‘high’. 
• 

Should you wish to turn the fire down, push the lever down to the lower setting. 

• 

To turn the fire off (including the pilot light) lift the lever all the way to the top. In this 

position the baffle will also close the exit to the flue. 

 

Safety 

The most common problem with flues and chimneys is that if they become blocked, by a bird’s 
nest or a collapse of masonry for example, the burnt gases from the fire can flow back into the 
house. The burnt gases have a high amount of carbon monoxide which can present a hazard 
to  the  occupants.  With  the  Surefire,  the  burnt  gases  have  been  passed  through  a  catalytic 
converter  before  they  are  allowed  to  leave  the  fire.  The  catalytic  converter  removes  most  of 
the  carbon monoxide,  reducing  it to  such  a  low  level  that  even  if the  chimney  is  blocked the 
fire will continue to work safely.
