1. HANDLING AND UNPACKING
Before continuing any further with the installation of this firefront please read the
following:
Important instructions.
A carry handle is fitted to the top of the firefront. We recommend that this is used
when moving the firefront.
The approximate lifting weights (kg) of the firefront parts are listed below:
Model Heat engine Fascia Firefront casting Spacer
Lyrica 8.0 1.5 3.54 1.0*
Nano 8.0 2.68 N/A 1.0*
*See section 3.
One person should be sufficient to lift the firefront. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Always bend from the knees rather than
the waist. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst handling the firefront.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the firefront as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

5. FITTING THE FIREFRONT
Important: Before continuing with the installation of this firefront please ensure
that you have completed the information on the last page of this guide. This
includes boiler information.
It is important to install the boiler before installing the firefront.
Please read this section thoroughly before positioning the firefront.
Fitting the cable clamp.
If the mains cable is to be routed to the left hand
side of the firefront there is a cable clamp
supplied with the firefront to hold the cable in
place. This prevents the cable being trapped
under the firefront during installation. Fit the cable
clamp as in figure 3.
Do I need any tools?
You will need a Pozidrive / Phillips / cross head
screwdriver. This should have a number 2 size tip.
Where and how can you fit the firefront?
Q What opening size do you need in the surround or fireplace opening?
A This firefront can be fitted into fireplaces or surrounds where the following
dimensions are available.
Width 390mm - 490 mm
Height 560mm - 595 mm
Depth At least 95mm
Q Can the firefront be installed into a ‘hole in the wall’ (elevated opening)?
A We do not recommend the firefront for this type of installation.
Q Do you want to fit the firefront into a surround or fireplace opening without
the optional spacer frame?
A The minimum rebate / depth required is 95mm.
Q Do you want to fit the firefront into a surround using the optional spacer
frame?
A The minimum rebate required is 45mm.

Q Do you want to fit the firefront against a flat wall with the base of the
firefront on a hearth or similar surface?
A You will need to purchase two optional spacer frame kits - See section 3. These
spacers when added to the one supplied with the firefront enable the firefront to
be flat wall fixed. The depth of the combined spacer frames is 150mm.
General notes to read before fitting your firefront.
Ensure that the boiler has been commisioned and the benchmark checklist in
the boiler installation guide completed.
There should be at least 10mm clearance between the top of the fascia and anything
such as a shelf, fireplace surround or mantel etc. This will allow the fascia to be
removed and fitted during servicing. To check the shelf clearance gently place the
fascia against the surface to which it is to be fixed and measure the distance from the
top of the fascia.
If fitting the firefront onto a reflective or shiny surface such as a hearth we
recommend that this surface does not extend further than 300mm from the fixing
plane (wall). Reflective or shiny surfaces that project further than 300mm may reflect
an image of the internal light source.

Securing the Firefront.
The firefront must be secured into position to prevent it from being tipped over.
The following securing options are available:
Method A - Securing with wire.
Method B - Securing with wire using an Optional Spacer Frame kit (See
section 3).
If fitting the firefront onto a decorative hearth surface such as marble or tile it is
advisable to protect the hearth surface. Do not drag the firefront as the surface finish
may be damaged.
Method A - Securing with wire.
1. Supplied with the firefront is a spacer frame. The
opening for the Boiler Control should be on the right
hand side when fitting.
2. Secure the spacer frame to the firefront using four
No.8 x 3/8 screws supplied (See figures 2 and 4).
3. Insert the Boiler Control lead through the opening in
the spacer frame, then ensuring that the display is at
the top, gently push the Boiler Control into place. The
control will ‘click’ into place. Place the firefront in front
of the boiler, connect the Boiler Control lead to the
lead on the boiler and check the boiler operation.
4. There is a supply cable slot on both sides of the
spacer frame. It is located at the base. Decide which
side to pass the supply cable through and position the
supply cable in the spacer frame slot.
5. Supplied with the firefront is a steel wire. This will be
used to secure the firefront to the top of the boiler.
6. At the top of the firefront there are four small holes,
two each side of the firefront. From the front of the
firefront, thread about 50mm of the steel wire into the
outside small hole on the right side of the firefront (See
point 1 - figure 6).
7. Thread the other end of the wire through the remaining
small hole to the left. Continue to push the wire through
this hole until there is only a small loop of wire at the
front of the firefront (See point 2 - figure 6).
8. At the back of the firefront there will be a long piece
and a short piece of wire coming through the two holes.
Hold the short piece and give the long piece a gentle tug.

7. REMOVING THE FASCIA AND FIREFRONT
To gain access to the boiler for servicing and maintenance it will be necessary to
remove the firefront. Do this as below:
1. Where applicable remove the lower casting from the base of the firefront. Firmly
hold the lower sides of the fascia and gently pull the bottom forward to release the
magnets that hold the bottom in place. Lift the fascia upward and forward until the
fascia hanging brackets are clear of the upper hanging brackets on the firefront. Place
the fascia away from the work area.
2. The firefront is is held in place with a single
wire. It will be necessary to loosen and remove
the wire at one side. Do this by placing a flat
ended screw driver or similar tool behind the
wire loop on the front of the firefront (See figure
10). Push the wire loop towards the outer hole
and pull on the wire where it passes through an
outer hole in the firefront. The wire should
become loose and can then be pulled from the
outer hole. With the end of the wire free, gently
pull the firefront forward.
3. After completing work on the boiler fit the
firefront and fascia as in sections 5 and 6 of this
guide.

1. OPERATING THE FIREFRONT
Never cover the firefront or obstruct the opening at the base of the firefront,
this could cause overheating and consequent risk of fire.
The firefront can be controlled by the manual control located on the lower left hand
side of the firefront. These controls are for the firefront only and have nothing to do
with the operation of the boiler. For boiler operation see section 2 of the owner guide.
Important Safety
Never cover the heater or obstruct the openings at the base of the heater, this
could cause overheating and consequent risk of fire.
What are the three switches for?
The heater is operated by three switches located on the lower left hand side.
Switch 1 = Main On - Off. (In the ‘ON’ position, only the flame effect
operates)
Switch 2 = 1kW fan heat setting and flame effect. (Switch 1 needs to be
in the ‘ON’ position to enable switch 2 to operate).
Switch 3 = 2kW fan heat setting and flame effect. (Switches 1 and 2 need
to be in the ‘ON’ position to enable switch 3 to operate).
OWNER GUIDE

2. OPERATING THE BOILER
The Boiler Control is located on the right hand side of the firefront (See figure 1).
Note: To operate the Boiler Control the On / Off button needs to be pressed for a
minimum of half a second.
Understanding the Boiler Control functions.
Is the Boiler ON or OFF?
If the boiler is OFF the display on the Boiler Control will read OFF.
This means the boiler will not operate even if the system external
controls (timer, programmer etc.) are requesting central heating or
domestic hot water.
If the boiler is ON then the display on the Boiler Control will show a
number, this being the ‘primary flow’ temperature which is the
temperature of the water in the central heating system.
In this condition the boiler is not operating, but will respond to a request from system
external controls.
How to switch the Boiler ON.
If the boiler is OFF, open the hinged panel that covers the Boiler Control. Press the
On / Off button on the Boiler Control for half a second.
OWNER GUIDE
Figure 1. Boiler Control (Shown with door open)

© Baxi Heating U.K. Limited 2009. Page 20
How do you know when the system external controls are requesting heating or
hot water ?
(When switched ON the boiler will be operated by a separate control. This may be a
timer or room thermostat control).
1. When the boiler is ON and heat is required a vertical bar will
appear in the top left of the display. The bar will remain visible for as
long as the thermostat or timer are operational (i.e. If the timer is set
for the boiler to operate for a two hour period, then the bar will remain visible for the
two hours)
2. Once the bar appears there will be a short delay of up to 60
seconds, the boiler will then commence the ignition sequence. When
the main burner lights, the flame symbol will appear in the top left of
the display. The ‘primary flow’ temperature will be seen to increase.
Troubleshooting.
If the boiler fails to light within 3 ignition attempts, a lockout condition
will occur and an error code (E133) will be displayed on display.
Error codes are displayed in two parts, i.e. for ‘E133’ (Ignition
lockout), the display will show ‘E1’ alternating with 33.
How to RESET the Boiler.
If an error code is displayed a manual reset operation may be required. A list of error
codes that can be reset are given on the oposite page. To reset the boiler, open the
door on the boiler control and press the ‘RESET’ button (top) for at
least 3 seconds (no more than 30 seconds). The display will show
(r - 4) or the number corresponding to available reset attempts.
When the RESET button is released the display will change to
(r E S) for 2 seconds to indicate the reset action has occurred.
NOTE – RESET ATTEMPTS ARE LIMITED.
A maximum number of 4 resets in 5 hours is available. After each reset action, the
counter is reduced by one. ONLY after 5 hours of no reset action will one reset be
added.
If the maximum number of reset attempts have been reached, the
boiler control will display [r - -], blinking.
In this case, a waiting time of 5 hours is required to recover one further reset attempt.
After 4 reset attempts we recommend that you contact Heateam on 0844 8711 565.
When contacting heateam it will help to quote the error code that has been displayed.
