1.7 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
The gas fire is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During
the first hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an
unpleasant smell. This is harmless, however. Operating the gas fire at full capacity
for a few hours, while ventilating the room, will eliminate the smell. Moreover,
deposits may form on the inside off the glass; these can be removed with a dry
cloth when the gas fire has cooled down.
1.8 DAILYMAINTENANCE
lRegulary check that the air supply is still open.
lEnsure 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
sufficiently ventilated. Regularly remove any dust deposits from behind the
control flap by means of a vacuum cleaner.
If the glass is broken or cracked, it must be
immediately replaced before operating the
gas fire again.
lIf anything is spilt on the fire, switch it off immediately and wait for it to cool
down sufficiently before cleaning. Never use scouring powder, aggressive
cleaners or fire polish on the gas fire. Use only a dry lint free cloth.
lBarbas 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.
•Stains on soap stone can be removed by rubbing gently with a washing-up
sponge and drying with a tea towel.
IMPORTANT
The installation must only be carried out by a
CORGI registered installation engineer.

2INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 GENERAL
The appliance has a decorative fire.
The gas fire must be positioned and connected as a “open” appliance by a CORGI
registered gas installation engineer in accordance with the following installation
instructions, nationally and locally applicable regulations (see “Technical Details/
Regulations” at the rear of this manual).
If you have any queries regarding the installation, please consult your local gas
company.
If an existing chimney is to be used, please consult your installer first. If the
chimney was previously used for a wood or coal fire, then it should be cleaned by
an expert. Achimney draw of approximately 5 Pa (= 0,05 mbar) is sufficient for full
load of the appliance. If the chimney draw is more than 20 Pa (= 0,2 mbar), then it
is recommended to reduce it.
IMPORTANT:Before beginning the installation, check that the details
on the rating plate correspond to the gas type and
pressure to which the appliance will be connected.
2.2 FLUE PROTECTION
This appliance is supplied with a security system T.T.B. It is a thermostat which
shuts off the pilot light and main burner under any of the following circumstances:
linsufficient chimney draw.
lunder-pressure in the house due to a mechanical exhaust system.
lbad connection between the appliance and the flue.
lpartial or total blockage of the flue, for instance, due to falling debris.
linsufficient external air supply in an entirely closed house.
lflue down draught due to wind.
After the problem has been rectified, the appliance can be put back into operation.
It is not permitted to bypass the security system. Always call your installer in

2.4 GENERAL SERVICES
1. FLUE
Before installation, it must be verified that the flue has sufficient draw.
Remove all flue gas dampers (if present) in the flue or fix them in the open
position. The flue must be at least 2 metres long. In order to prevent
condensation in a masonry flue and, if necessary, to improve correct
operation of the appliance, it is recommended that the flue be fitted with an,
(insulated) aluminium or (flexible) stainless steel pipe of Ø100 mm
(minimum).
An protective cap must be placed on top of the chimney to prevent rain
entering.
2. COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
The combustion air supply has to comply with national and local
regulations. The minimum dimensions are detailed in “Technical Details/
Regulations” at the rear of this manual. The air supply opening must be
non-closable !!!
3. THERMOSTAT SENSOR
The appliance is equipped with a thermostat sensor which is normally fitted
to the bottom plate. The thermostat function can be improved by positioning
the sensor on the plinth behind the appliance.
Ensure that the sensor remains easily accessible at all times for service
maintenance.
4. GAS CONNECTION
The Ø12 mm or Ø15 mm gas connection, is located at the rear of the
appliance. Connect the gas supply to the appliance using the push
coupling. Use only gas piping with a minimum diameter of 1/2” G with a
shut-off valve.

2.5 POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT :Leave a minimum of 10 cm space between the
rear of the appliance and the wall, and at least
20 cm clear from the sides.
Because of its weight, the appliance ECO 550 /
ECO 650 / ECO 750, needs to be installed on a
sufficiently strong floor.
Put a protective plate on the floor if the ATLANTA/
SAVANNAH, appliance installation is on wood or
carpet.
Flammable materials, such as curtains, should not
be placed in the vicinity of the gas fire.
Minimum safe distance: 100 cm
2.5.1 Chimney connection opening
The appliance has a combined chimney (top/rear) connection opening, which is
factory-fitted as a top connection.
If you wish to use the rear connection option, the connection opening must be
detached from the top and exchanged with the cover plate at the rear.
In the case of the ATLANTA/SAVANNAH, the top connection opening can be
dismantled after removal of the top plate of the appliance, which is fastened with 4
bolts. In the case of the ECO 550, ECO 650 and ECO 750, it is only necessary to
lift off the soapstone top panel.

ECO 650 / ECO 750) can now be connected to the appliance. Make sure that the
connection is completely gas tight.
2.5.4 Gas connection
When connecting the gaspipe, ensure it is not kinked or deformed, and that the
gastap remains unobstructed.
Also during connection of the gas, take care not to twist the gas regulating block.
Make sure that the gas regulating block and supply pipes are not sujected to
stresses.
2.5.5 Checking the Gas Connection
After connection of the gas supply, check that all connections are completely gas
tight using soapy water or a leak tester.
2.5.6 Positioning the Ceramic Log Set
IMPORTANT : •Do not place any vermiculite or logs against the pilot
flame burner. Make sure that the pilot flame can burn
freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper
ignition of the main burner ensured.
•The burner bed (with vermiculite granules) and the
positioning of the logs must not be changed.
Remove the front and glass plate (ECO 650 / ECO 750) or, open the glass plate
(ATLANTA/ SAVANNAH / ECO 550). Distribute the vermiculite granules over
the burner and position the ceramic log set as shown in figure 5 (Natural gas
appliance) or figure 6 (Propane appliance)
(see also Chapter 5: Disassembly/assembly of the regulator and burner)
1. Distribute the vermiculite granules evenly over the burner.

2.5.7 Checking the Appliance Following Installation
After installation, the installer needs to visually check the gas flames. When the
fire is ignited, the flames should be short and blue/yellow in colour. These flames
should gradually increase in height and become more yellow. When all flames are
yellow, the gas fire has reached the correct temperature.
The installer should also verify, by using the appliance for the first time, after 10
minutes of operation, that there is no flue leakage.
