INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be

present. The fire has been designed to fit into a pupose made builders’ opening meeting certain dimensional

requirements.

The flue must have an effective height of at least three meters, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue.

Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal

is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.

A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney

must be swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pel-

let or similar to ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary

before the appliance is installed.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. The flue must be connected to

only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler).

There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into, and the one venting

the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow.

The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 785mm and 865mm wide, and 670mm to

710mm high.

Opening DEPTH should be 350mm or greater. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form

part of the installation.

This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following;

225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone.

175mm (7in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.

175mm (7in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715.

Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off.

The opening wall must be non-combustible and have adequate flat surface for appliance sealing.

The appliance is supplied with a non-combustible hearth, the surface of which is at least 12mm thick. The top

surface is at least 50mm above the surrounding floor level. The appliance must be fitted with this hearth.

To enable the products of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet on the top of the appliance

must have a minimum 50mm clearance between it and the back wall of the opening or other obstruction. The

area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.

A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given

below.

A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 30mm of the top edge of the fireframe.

Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the frame of the

appliance, providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).

Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.

As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and

embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.

VENTILATION

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances

operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.

If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may be insufficient

natural ventilation for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater problem should the property

be of modern nature. If the appliance does not spill with windows open but does with windows closed, this

proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if not, it will be the flue at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best

solution. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2.

Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which cannot be cor-

rected by any amount of ventilation.

For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.

UNPACKING TTHE AAPPLIANCE

Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top end cap. Read all the instructions

before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.

Remove the box containing the hearth and fireframe, the box containing the ceramic logs, and the box contain-

ing the burner unit. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any bags containing other fittings or parts.

When all loose parts have been removed, the outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appliance. Check that

the components supplied correlate with the checklist given in section 7.0.

Note: EEnssure tthat tthe ggassssupply iissiissolated bbefore ccommenccinggiinsstallation ooftthe aappliancce.

The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with the specifications laid down in the

appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the firebox and burner unit from their cartons and stand upon

a dust sheet or similar. Place the stone effect frame, ceramic logs and fixings safely to one side.

Knockout holes are provided in the rear of the firebox for use where concealed pipework is required. Where

necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied.

A small incision can how be made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleeving.

PREPARING TTHE OOPENING

Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit cor-

rectly from the terminal. If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed.

This appliance is designed to fit into a purpose-made builders opening. The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimen-

sions should be between 785mm and 865mm wide, and

670mm to 710mm high. Opening DEPTH should be 350mm

or greater. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill pan-

els which form part of the installation.

IMPORTANT ::The sstructural iintegrity ooftthe wwall mmust bbe

maintained. IItiisrrecommended tthat tthis sstage ooftthe iinstalla-

tion bbeuundertaken bbyaaqqualified bbuilder.

Obtain a suitable lintel. We would suggest either a pre-cast

concrete or steel lintel. Minimum bearing lengths - Generally

lintels should be bedded the correct way up on the supporting

bearings in the mortar. The recommended minimum bearing

length for use in 3.5N/mm2blockwork is 100mm in openings

up to 1000mm.

Fit the lintel, and remove brickwork as necessary in order to

make an opening to the correct size. Ensure the base of the

opening is level and flat.

Make good the front wall surface around the opening, ensur-

ing that the surfaces are true, vertical and flat in order to

ensure a good seal when the firebox is fitted. This front surface

must be non-combustible and capable of withstanding 150OC.

Offer up the firebox to the fireplace to check the fit is good.

Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and

square to the wall or back panel. At this stage it is essential to

ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not restricted in any

way. Remove the firebox and take any necessary measure-

ments before making good and preparing for final installation.

The non-combustible hearth unit should now be secured in

place. Before sliding it in to position attach the sealing strips

provided along the rear faces of the hearth. Once positioned

centrally seal the the box frame to the hearth with the silver

tape provided. Before running the gas supply into the opening,

protect the hearth surface using surplus packaging materials.

SCREW FIXING. For fixing by screw, mark and drill the fireframe

or base, and the relevant points in the opening or on the wall.

Rawlplugs will again be required. Pre-punched holes are not

proided for this purpose to allow you to choose the optimum

positions.

GAS SUPPLY. Following preparation for the fixing method, the

concealed gas supply, where required, can now be put into

place. Refer to the gas supply section for suggested pipe routes.

The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be

sealed. The ends of the 8mm supply pipe should be temporari-

ly sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.

CABLE FIXING. For fixing of the fire by the cable method, see

the relevant section. The cable fixing locations should be

marked on the back of the opening and the holes drilled. Fit the

fibre rawlplugs and eyebolts to these holes.

GAS SSUPPLY RROUTING

When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed. An in-line restrictor cock is

supplied with the appliance. It is recommended that this be incorporated into the 8mm supply in an accessible

position, for example, underneath the 'shelf' of the appliance.

A compression fitting is supplied in order that the 8mm supply pipe may be connected directly into the gas valve.

A concealed connection may be made to the appliance by routing the supply pipe into the lower firebox via one

of three knock-out holes. These are located in the sides and rear of the firebox.

The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be

sealed to the pipe at its ends.

The open end of the supply pipe should be sealed temporarily during the installation of the firebox to prevent the

ingress of dirt and dust.

FITTING THE FIREBOX

The firebox may be fitted to the opening by using screw fixing or by the cable kit as described in the relevant

section. Leave the polythene coating in place unitl fitting procedures are complete to eliminate any risk of scratch-

ing the decorative stainless steel finish of the firebox.

To fit the firebox, firstly check the fire goes fully back into the opening.

Secure the fire box by drilling and screwing down the frame of the firebox, or use the cable fixing method.

INSTALLATION BBYCCABLE FFIXING KKIT

Drill the four holes for the rawl plugs, as shown in the diagram. If the fireplace configuration does not allow

the exact layout given, the eyebolts should be positioned as close to the correct layout as possible.

Before finally fitting cables, apply the self adhesive sealing strips. The fireframe must be sealed evenly to the

fireplace opening all around the periphery.

Thread the tensioning cables through the holes in the top of the firebox, then the eyelets, and finally through

the lower holes in the back of the firebox, as shown in the photographs.

Push the appliance back into to fireplace, centralise, and pull the loose tensioning cables through the holes

into the firebox. . Thread the tensioner bolts onto the cables, with the nuts screwed down close to the ten-

sioner head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable tight, and tighten nipple.

The tension of the cable may now be adjusted by using a suitable spanner on the ten-

sioner nuts to pull the appliance tightly against the fireplace opening. Visually inspect

the seal and reseat if necessary.

Note: DDO NOTTccuutooff eexxcessssccable.

Surplus cable must not be cut off, as it will be

impossible to refit the fire after servicing. Coil

up the surplus cable, and locate under the shelf

at the rear of the firebox. Two cable ties are

provided so as the cable may be secured out of

sight.

FUEL BED LAYOUT

Please refer to the relevent section of the user manual section of this booklet.

FITTING THE MARBLE FFRAME

The appliance is supplied with a marble frame, supplied in three pieces. The frame

is held onto the firebox by six mounting brackets, which need to be screw to be

screwed to the wooden blocks on the rear of the marble frame in the locations

pictured. The brackets may be adjusted to provide a perfect fit. It is recomended

that the brackets be bent to approximately 40 degrees from the vertical position.

DDoonnoottoovveerrbbeennddtthheebbrraacckkeettss..

Lift the frame into position on the front of the firebox, firstly the two ‘legs’ fol-

lowed by the ‘header’. The plastic protective film may be removed from the fire-

box at this stage. Once in place the joins may be filled with the sealant provided.

This can be wiped clean and level with a damp sponge.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current Approved Codes Of Practice

(ACOPs).

When the appliance is first used, protective oils coating the firebox may burn off. It is advisable to ventilate the room

during this period, at least one hour.

OPERATING TTHE FFIRE

The control knob of the fire is marked as follows ;

The pilot is visible at the rear of the burner. Push in and turn the control

knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds.

Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click, ensuring the pilot

has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.

When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for approx-

imately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay

alight. If not, retry ignition. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait

three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.

To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and con-

tinue turning anti-clockwise to the large flame position. The main burner

should light after a few seconds.

OPERATING TTHE FFIRE ((continued)

To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise to the low flame setting. The flame height may

be adjusted as desired between high and low settings by turning the control knob to the required position

between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’.

To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot

position and release.

To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

SPARK FAILURE

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should

be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by pro-

ceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described, and after turning the control knob through the spark

position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.

SETTING PRESSURE

Remove the screw from the pressure test point, situated on the main injector pipe to the left hand side of the dec-

orative valve cover, and attach a U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting.

The setting pressure should be in accordance with the figures stated on page 2 of these instructions. The fire is

factory set to achieve these pressures, and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If the pres-

sure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if

necessary reset by the gas supplier.

If the pressure is too low, then check the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is incorrect

it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable,

then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size

pipes, restriction in a fitting or solder flashing across a joint. (NOTE: you will not get an accurate reading of the

inlet pressure with a pressure gauge on the end of the supply pipe - this is the static pressure in the system. You

must use a T piece and measure the supply pressure with the fire on High - the dynamic pressure).

FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason

then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot dis-

turbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. If a grommet seal has been left out of

the firebox then this also will also cause intermittent shutdown (recall your installer to fit). The gas pressure reach-

ing the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The thermocou-

ple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get

the installer to tighten.

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF,

check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT

allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test.

The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure contnued function

of the ODS.

The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare

parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer.

If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
