The convertion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by
multiplying the net efficiency
by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding down to the
nearest whole number.
This product uses a burner gasket and burner surface containing Refractory
Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important not to touch or disturb the burner surface to ensure
that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres
from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we
recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot
accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on the fire. Do NOT
vacuum the burner surface. When replacing the the burner surface we recommend
that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty
polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-
reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licenced to accept such
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we
recommend the use of suitable gloves to prevent irritation. We also recommend you
follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work
area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or
asbestos related products.

4.9 The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the
appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer
should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have
been thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances should
the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only genuine manufacturers replacement
parts should be fitted.
4.10 Allow a minimum clearance of 150mm from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from non-combustible
materials.
This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing.
For a shelf made from
wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
the
minimum clearance must be as below. Important : No combustible material (e.g.
Wallpaper, plastic tiling, wood panelling etc.) must be used on the fireplace wall below
the shelf.
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum clearance = 150mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 150mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See Graph 1).

1off Fire assembly.
1off Ceramic fuel effect (In packaging inside firebox).
1off Closure plate.
1off Smoke match tube.
1off Olive & olive nut for gas line connection
1off Literature pack
Remove all the items carefully to prevent damage. Some items may be contained in the
packaging fitments -Examine the packaging carefully before discarding. Check that all
the items are present and undamaged.
5.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the
flue. Verify outside that the smoke exits from one
terminal only and that the termination is suitable.
Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft
spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm
the flue for a few minutes and repeat the smoke
pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue
may need remedial work – Do not fit the appliance
until there is a definite flow through the flue.
5.3 Appliance preparation.
5.3.1.Stand the fire upright.
5.3.2 Remove two transit screws from the
upper back panel (See figure 4).
5.3.3.Remove the control knob by pulling
clear of the gas tap spindle.
5.3.4.Remove the control bezel by unscrewing
two screws (See figure 5).

fascia upward and forward to clear the top
location (See figure 5).
5.3.6. The front of the fascia is secured by
two screws as shown in figure 6. These
screws have been tightened to avoid damage
to the fascia during transit. These screws
must be slackened to enable the customer to
remove this section of the fascia. Slacken the
two screws, detach the window surround by
sliding it upward and then swinging the
bottom forward. Lift and store carefully.
5.3.7. Remove the window unit by removing the screws
each side of the window frame and lifting the unit clear.
5.3.8. Remove the ceramic fuel effect pack from the
firebox and keep it safe.
5.3.9. Check ignition spark
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the
piezo electric spark ignition system operates
satisfactorily.
To initiate the spark, temporarily refit the control knob
to the tap spindle. Depress the control knob and while
keeping it depressed, turn anticlockwise through
approximately 60° to the 1/IGN position. A spark should
track from the electrode pin to pilot burner. If there is no spark or incorrect tracking,
check that the spark gap is between the limits shown in figure 7. If the spark gap is
correct, check the ignition wiring.
Remove the control knob after checking.
5.3.10 For wall mounted appliances.
Remove the levelling screws and locknuts from below the feet.
5.3.11 If the fire is fitted to a recessed fireplace, an extension flue spigot up to a
maximum total length of 125mm may be used. The extension must be a tight fit over
the flue spigot and be secured by two self tapping screws. Note the minimum clearance
required as shown in figure 2.

Figure 6. Window surround removal.

5.4 Fitting the closure plate.
(See figure 8).
The closure plate has an opening at the
bottom for a central gas feed pipe. The gap
between the pipe and this opening should
be sealed with tape after connection. If a
central feed pipe is not required the
opening should be completely sealed with
tape.
5.4.1 Hearth mounting
(See figure 9).
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed
to the hearth and fireplace opening using a
suitable heat resistant material. If
necessary cut the closure plate but make
sure that it overlaps the fireplace opening
sufficiently to allow satisfactory sealing.
5.4.2 Wall mounting
(See figure 10).
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to
the hearth and fireplace opening using a
suitable heat resistant material.
If necessary cut the closure plate but make
sure that it overlaps the fireplace opening
sufficiently to allow satisfactory sealing.
The bottom of the appliance must be at least
100mm above any carpet or other floor
covering. To achieve this, the bottom of the
flue spigot opening must be at least 565mm
above the finished floor covering.
5.4.3 Check the flue pull with closure plate
fitted by applying a lighted match or smoke
match to the flue spigot opening in the
closure plate and observe the smoke. If there
is a definite flow continue with the
installation. If not check the fitting of the
closure plate. The fireplace flue pull check
described in section 5.2 should have confirmed that the fireplace itself is satisfactory.

pipe.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas
soundness. In the United Kingdom check in
accordance with the current edition of BS6891. In
the Republic of Ireland refer to the current edition of
IS 813 “Domestic gas installations”.
6.4 Fit the ceramic fuel effect and window.
6.4.1 Place the ceramic fuel effect in position Make
sure that it rests on the ledges at the sides of the
firebox and that its back face is touching the
horizontal rib at the back of the firebox (See figure
12).
6.4.2 Replace the window unit. Secure the window
unit to the firebox the two screws removed
previously.
7 CONTROL AND PRESSURE CHECKS
7.1 Check control settings.
7.1.1 If closed, open the isolating valve at the inlet ‘T’ connector.
7.1.2 To help in checking the control positions while the fascia is detached, place the
control bezel over the gas tap spindle and against the tap bracket. Temporarily secure to
the tap bracket with one of the screws.
7.1.3 Fit the control knob over the gas tap spindle.
7.1.4 Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the 1/IGN
position until some resistance is felt. Keep depressed at this position to purge air from
the system then, while keeping it depressed, turn fully to the 1/IGN position. A spark
should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot.
7.1.5 When pilot ignition has been achieved, keep the control knob depressed for
approximately ten seconds to allow the thermocouple probe to warm up and then release

orifice is clear and that the thermocouple connections are sound. Replace the pilot unit
if necessary (see servicing section of this manual).
7.1.6 Check all the control settings. These are:-
7.2 Check burner pressure.
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shown in
section 1 of this manual. No adjustment is necessary. Check the burner pressure by
fitting a pressure gauge at the test point. The test point is on the pipe connecting the gas
tap to the lower injector. Check the pressure with the appliance alight and set at
maximum output (Control knob position 4).
After checking, turn off the appliance. Remove the pressure gauge and replace the test
point sealing screw. Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum output position and
test around the sealing screw for gas soundness with a suitable leak detection fluid.
If all the above checks are satisfactory, continue with the installation. If not, check the
control and ignition circuitry and components as described in the servicing section of
this manual.
7.3 Test for spillage.
A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the customer.
7.3.1 Close all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.
7.3.2 Light the appliance and set the control knob to the maximum position (Position
4).
7.3.3 Leave the appliance on for seven minutes.
7.3.4 Insert the smoke match tube (with lighted match) into the side of the appliance
and against the back panel. Position the tube so that it is horizontal, against the back
panel and with its top edge touching the side of the draught diverter box. Slide the tube
until the indent in the tube is level with the diverter side (See figure 13).
7.3.5 The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the diverter box. If an
appreciable amount of smoke escapes from above the flue spigot or from the sides leave
the appliance alight at the maximum setting for a further ten minutes and then repeat the
test. If the test is still unsatisfactory disconnect the appliance and seek expert advice.
7.3.6
If the above test is satisfactory, open all internal connecting doors, hatches, etc. in
the room. Keep all doors and windows that open to the outside of the building closed.
recheck for spillage as above. If an extractor fan is installed in the same room as the
