SECTION TWO Introduction (user instructions)
The PARAGON FOCUS RS 18 is an inset room sealed live fuel-effect gas appliance designed for use in
locations that do not have a conventional chimney. The appliance must be installed against an outside wall
because the air to support combustion is taken from the outside and the products of combustion are
expelled to the outside.
The appliance incorporates a safety device in the form of a FLAME SUPERVISION DEVICE, which constantly
monitors the flame and will cause the gas to be switched off if the flames are extinguished for any reason.
THIS DEVICE MUST NOT BE OVERRIDDEN. If this situation occurs on a regular basis have the appliance
checked by a qualified engineer. The problem may be due to a blocked or restricted flue.
Before removing the fret, trim, glass or fuel bed for cleaning the fire should be turned off, and left to cool
down.
NOTE: In use some discoloration of the components will take place in the combustion box, this is normal, but
can be kept to a minimum if the coals are placed correctly (i.e. after cleaning). See Section 4.
As with all heating appliances certain areas (Working Surfaces) become very hot when the appliance is in
use. Only the ashpan knob and the gas control knob should be touched when the fire is being used.
SECTION THREE Operation (user instructions)
Do not use this appliance without the glass panel fitted, or if this panel is cracked or broken.
WARNING: If the burner or pilot is extinguished for any reason, do not attempt to re-light
the pilot for at least three minutes.
If outing issue continues remove the pilot shield (refer to section twelve on page 22 for how to remove pilot
shield)
LIGHTING THE FIRE
The pilot can be left on or the pilot can be extinguished and relit each time the fire is used.
The appliance Control Knob is positioned behind the fret or fascia panel.
The full lighting procedure for MANUAL VERSION is as follows: -
A.
Push knob in as far as possible on gas control.
B.
Turn knob anti-clockwise until a click is heard. The knob will stop at the position marked
'
'
and a spark
should be seen at the tip of the ignition probe. At the same time the pilot flame should light. KEEP THE KNOB
PRESSED IN FOR 20 SECONDS. Should the pilot fail to light, turn the control knob clockwise to the
'
'
position, wait 3 minutes, and repeat the procedure.
C.
After lighting the pilot flame the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly. This will allow you to
turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the position marked
'
'
. The pilot flame should then ignite the main
fire.
D.
It is possible to adjust the height of the flames by turning the control knob between the positions marked
'
'
and
'
'
. Note that the knob 'latches' in position at either end of this movement and must be pushed in
slightly before it can be turned.
E.
To turn the fire off, depress the knob slightly and turn it to the
'
'
position.
F.
To completely extinguish the fire, depress the knob slightly and turn to
'
'
the position.
