    The controls for that fire are at low level and behind the guard but to be quite honest i would recommend you ask to see the current gas cert or if not available get a Registered Gas Installer to check it over before you use it, this type of fire is an opened flue appliance and can be lethal.

    Personally! i'd rip it out.

    Any ventilation in that room by any chance?

    You might as well get a bundle of €50 notes and light them. More efficient to get it removed and stick a chimney baloon up the chimney.
