NOTICE
DISCOLOURATION OF WALL SURFACES
Most heating appliances generate warm air convection
currents and transfer heat to any wall surface against which
they are situated.
Some soft furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers) may
not be suitable for use where they are subject to temperatures
above normal room levels and the manufacturer's advice
should be sought before using this type of wall covering
adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining from convected air currents will
be increased in environments where high levels of cigarette
smoke or other contaminants exist.
Description
The Baxi Bermuda VP3 and Baxi Bermuda SP3 are
combined gas fired central heating boiler and gas fire
units, designed for installation in a living room. These
boilers and fires are designed to be used on Natural
Gas (For propane see page 35).
The heat input of both fires at their maximum setting is
5.74kW (19,600 Btu/h) with an output of 3.52kW
(12,000 Btu/h). Electronic ignition is provided to light
the main burner. The fires are controlled by a control
knob positioned on the right hand side of the case.
This control knob has six positions giving a choice of
five output settings.
Position - OFF
Position - IGNITION/PILOT
Position 1 - LOW
Position 2 - MEDIUM
Position 3 - MEDIUM/HIGH
Position 4 - HIGH
The artificial coal bed may be illuminated by
concealed bulbs as and when required. The light
effect is operated by a switch situated below the
control knob. It may be used whether the fires
are ON or OFF.
Important Information
This product contains Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F.)
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive
exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation
to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Care must be taken when
handling these articles to ensure the release of dust or fibres
is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres
from these articles is kept to a minimum, during installation
and servicing it is recommended that a H.E.P.A. filtered
vacuum is used to remove any dust, soot or other debris
accumulated in and around the appliance. This should be
performed before and after working on the installation. It is
recommended that any replaced item(s) are not broken up but
sealed within heavy duty polythene bags and clearly labelled
“R.C.F. waste”. This is not classified as “hazardous waste”and may
be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these
articles but it is recommended that gloves are worn and the normal
hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area are
followed and always wash hands before eating or drinking.

SITE REQUIREMENTS
340mm
13mm
830mm
Fireplace Opening
The principal site requirements are determined by the
boiler unit, but the following details are essential for the
correct installation of the fire unit:
Fireplace Opening: Height: 560mm (22in)
Width: 406mm (16in) min
508mm (20in) max
NOTE: Where possible the fireplace opening
should be made to the maximum width i.e. 508mm
(20in). The wall behind the fire must be non-
combustible.
If a fire surround is to be used, it must have a minimum
rating of 100oC. Any gaps between the wall and the
surround must be sealed. The surround or wall
must have a flat vertical surface, centrally fixed
about the opening measuring a minimum of
765mm (301/8in) high by 765mm (301/8in) wide.
VENTILATION
Ventilation air supply should be in accordance
with the relevant standards. In GB this is BS
5440 Pt. 2. In IE this is I.S. 813 “Domestic
Gas Installations”. The permanent ventilation
area size requirements are:-
SP3/VP3 & 45/4 68.54cm2(10.62in2)
SP3/VP3 & 57/4 89.15cm2(13.82in2)
SP3/VP3 & 51/5 75.63cm2(11.72in2)
The permanent vent may be directly into the room
containing the appliance. The vent may also be sited
in another room provided an interconnecting vent is
used. The vent must not be installed inside the
builders opening. The vent should be sited following
good practice for a habitable room.
We recommend the use of the Stadium BM720 ‘Black
Hole’ventilator which is available from your local
merchant. HEARTH MOUNTING
If the fire unit is to be hearth mounted then the hearth
must be of a non-combustible material at least 13mm
(1/2in) thick and measuring at least 340mm (133/8in)
deep by 830mm (323/4in) wide and fitted centrally
about the fireplace opening. The top surface of the
hearth should be a minimum of 50mm (2in) above floor
level and must be level with the base of the builders
opening. On no account should the fire unit be
fitted directly onto a combustible floor or carpet.
WALL FIXING
NOTE: Whilst the Bermuda VP3 is
intended to be hearth mounted, it may
also be fixed to a wall.
If the fire unit is to be fixed to the wall
then it is strongly recommended that the
fireplace opening is made to the
maximum width i.e. 508mm (20in).
A shelf may be fitted above the
fire unit provided that it is not
less than 76mm (3in) above the
fire canopy and not more than
229mm (9in) in depth. The area
between the shelf and the top of
the fire must be non-combustible.

Initial Preparation
Unpack the fire unit by removing the polystyrene
packing piece complete with fitments and placing to
one side, then lift the fire from its box.
Electrical Connections
Electricity is supplied to the fire unit via the plug-and-
cable assembly provided with the appliance.
The cable must be connected to the plug and socket
on the boiler base. This connection should be made at
the same time as the boiler electrical connections.
NOTE: The method of connection to the electricity
supply must facilitate complete electrical isolation
of the appliance. Connection may be made via a
fused double pole isolator with a contact
separation of at least 3mm (1/8in) in all poles
and serving the appliance and systems control
only (max. fuse rating 3 amp). A permanent
electricity supply to the boiler is required.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. 4 core
input cable for connection to the boiler unit must
NOT be less than 0.75mm2(24 x 0.2mm) PVC heat
resistant to 70°C grade 1 to BS 6500 table 15 or 16.

Manual Control Models
If the fire supply cable has not been fitted when wiring
the boiler proceed as follows:-
Isolate the electrical supply to the boiler
including the permanent live.
Remove the boiler controls assembly
as described in the boiler Installation
and Servicing Instructions.
The socket should be wired as
described in the boiler Installation and
Servicing Instructions.
Remove the screw fixing the input socket to the boiler
base. Slide the socket to the right, then lift to remove.
Remove the screw fixing the cover to the
socket housing and remove the plastic
cover, revealing the terminals and cable
clamps and boiler wiring.

From the plug and cable connection supplied with the
fire unit, the following connections should be made,
making sure that the appropriate cable clamp is used
to hold the cable firmly.
Connect the blue wire (neutral) to the remaining
terminal marked ‘N’. Connect the brown wire
(permanent live) to the remaining terminal marked
‘L2’. Route the green & yellow wire (earth) through
the cut-out in the socket housing and connect it to the
earth terminal.
The earth wire should be long enough so that the
live and neutral wires will become taut before the
earth wire if the cable is pulled.
Refit the socket cover and fix in place with the
screw.
Refit the input socket assembly to the boiler base and
fix in place with the securing screw.
Reconnect the controls connection plug to the
input socket and again, fix in place with the
securing screw.
Clamp the input cable in place using the
appropriate clip.
