This product uses fuel effect pieces 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 to take care when handling these articles 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. When replacing these articles
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 licensed to
accept such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles,
but we 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.

4.2
In the United Kingdom, as supplied, the appliance can be installed in the following
situations:
4.2.1 To a fireplace complete with surround and hearth as shown in figure 1 and
complying with BS1251 after removal of the fireback and sufficient material behind the
fireback for a debris
catchment space. The
required fireplace, hearth,
debris catchment area and
clearance dimensions are
shown in figure 1.
4.2.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’
installations.
It is recommended that a
hearth should be installed
as in figure 1. If a hearth is
not fitted, the fire must be
installed so that the
distance from the base of
the fireplace opening in the
wall to the finished floor
level is at least 85mm.
Where there is no floor

Figure 1. Hearth and fireplace opening dimensions

covering or carpet and the floor is of
a type that is likely to be covered in
such a way in the future then the
distance from the base of the
fireplace opening in the wall to the
floor level should be increased to at
least 160mm. The minimum shelf
height will have to be taken from the
base of the fireplace opening.
4.2.2 To a fireplace incorporating a
metal flue box complying with the
constructional requirements of
BS 715 and BS EN 1856 Part 1. The
dimensions of the flue box must
conform to those shown in figure 2.
4.2.3 A precast concrete or clay flue
block system conforming to BS EN
1858 or BS 1289 with dimensions as
in figure 3 or using a 05654K1 spacer
kit. (Installation Instructions part
number 3003095). The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1858 recommend that
there should be an air space or insulation between the flue blocks and the plaster
because heat transfer may cause cracking on directly plastered flues. However, generally
this appliance is suitable for installations under all circumstances unless there is a
history of cracking problems.
Remember that faults such as cracking may be caused by poorly built and restrictive
flues, e.g. mortar extrusions, too many bends, flue heights below three metres,
restrictive terminations etc (See figure 3).
4.2.4 If the fireplace opening is greater than the acceptable dimensions given in this
guide, do not use the back of a fire surround or marble to reduce the opening. This may
cause cracking of the surround back or marble.
4.3 Suitable flues and minimum flue sizes are as follows: -
It should be noted that, as with many appliances, sharp bends or horizontal runs in
metal flues at the top of the system can be a cause of problems in these types of
installation.
! 225mm x 225mm conventional brick flue.
! 175mm diameter lined brick or stone flue.
!
200mm diameter factory made insulated flue manufactured to the current edition of
BS EN 1859 or BS 4543.
! 175mm diameter flue pipe. See BS6461 Part 1 for suitable materials.

Figure 2. Metal flue box

! Single wall, twin wall or flexible
flue liner with a minimum diameter of
125mm. The materials to be used are
stainless steel or aluminium as
specified in BS EN 1856 Part 1. The
liner must be sealed to the
surrounding area above the fireplace
opening and to the top of the chimney.
An approved terminal must be fitted.
! A properly constructed precast
concrete or clay flue system
conforming to BS1289 or BS EN
1858. This system is only suitable if
the conditions stated in section 4.2.3
are met.
4.4 The flue must conform to BS
5440: Part 1 in design and installation.
The flue, measured from the bottom
of the fireplace opening to the bottom
of the terminal, shall be not less than
3m in actual vertical height. When
calculated in accordance with BS
5440: Part 1 Annex A, the minimum
equivalent height of the flue shall be
2.0m of 125mm-dia. flue pipe.
4.5 The flue must not be used for
any other appliance or application.
4.6
Any chimney damper or restrictor should be removed. If removal is not possible,
they must be secured in the open position.
4.7
If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that was previously used
for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should be
inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
4.8 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
4.9 The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth unless the
conditions in section 4.2.3 are met (N.B. conglomerate marble hearths are considered as
non-combustible). The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O”-

dimensions

150°C surround. The hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of the
hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor level to discourage the placing
of carpets or rugs over it.
The surface of the hearth must be sufficiently flat to enable the bottom of the fascia and
the bottom front cover to be aligned horizontally. Any excessive unevenness (uneven
tiles, Cotswold stone, etc.) should be rectified.
The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets.
4.10
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by
the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should be made
good if necessary.
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a good seal with the hotbox
can be made.
4.11 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance. Please
bear this in mind when installing.
4.12
This appliance must not be installed in any room that contains a bath or shower or
where steam is regularly present.
4.13
An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on in
this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
4.14 Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2 and
in IE reference should be made to the current
edition of IS 813 “Domestic Gas Installations”
which makes clear the conditions that must be
met to demonstrate that sufficient ventilation
is available.
4.15 If the appliance is to be fitted against a
wall with combustible cladding, the cladding
must be removed from the area covered by the
fascia. The cladding must also not touch the
fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the
actual fascia is used as a template to mark the
area for combustible cladding removal and
that this area is increased by at least 2mm all
Page 11
INSTALLER GUIDE

Figure 4. Removal of combustible
cladding

round. If the cladding projects forward from the fixing plane of the fire the clearance at
the top of the appliance must be increased to a minimum 15mm. This will allow for
fascia removal.
4.16 The minimum height from the base of the fireplace opening to the underside of
any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is shown below: -
•For a shelf up to 150mm deep
Minimum height = 700mm.
•For a shelf deeper than 150mm
Minimum height = 700mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
(See graph 1).
4.17 Proprietary terminals must comply with BS EN 1856 Part 1 . Any terminal or
termination must be positioned in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1 to ensure that the
products of combustion can be safely dispersed into the outside atmosphere. Where the
appliance is connected to an unlined brick chimney it is generally unnecessary for the
chimney pot to be replaced or for a terminal to be fitted unless the flue has a diameter
smaller than 170mm.
4.18 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 a genuine manufacturers replacement

part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not replaceable.
4.19
The glass panel is a working surface and is hot during normal operation of the fire
and whilst cooling. A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the
protection of young children, the elderly, or the infirm.
4.20 The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is shown in figure 5.

Check that all the listed parts are present and in good condition. The pack may contain
additional components to that stated above. These can be discarded.
6. FIREPLACE CHECK
6.1 Fireplace check.
6.1.1 Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with
the requirements described in
section 4.2. This will probably
entail removing the fireback and
infill material behind the
fireback. The debris catchment
area shown in figure 7 must be
kept clear of obstructions.
6.1.2 Fireplace general
condition
The fireplace floor should be
reasonably flat to ensure that the
hotbox can be installed without it
rocking and so that a good seal
can be made at the bottom front of the box. The front face of the fireplace should be
reasonably flat over the area covered by the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure
good sealing. These faces should be made good if necessary. If the appliance is to be
fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the cladding must be removed from the
area covered by the fascia. The cladding must also not touch the fascia (See figure 4).
We suggest that the actual fascia is used as a template to mark the area for combustible
cladding removal and that this area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
6.1.3 Soundness for appliance attachment
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1) By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2)
Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together
with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 10 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the
proper tools and equipment.
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
Page 15
INSTALLER GUIDE
© Baxi Heating U.K. Limited 2006.
Figure 7. Fireplace area

the fibre plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back and towards the centre of the
fireplace floor are sound enough to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas have
deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with a suitable cement.
6.1.4 Installations using a metal flue box
The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a 100mm layer
of mineral wool or equivalent insulation (See figure 2).
6.2 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.
7. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the ignition system performs
satisfactorily.
7.1 Fitting batteries to the remote control handset.
The remote control handset is battery powered.
There are three ‘AAA’ size batteries supplied.
Remove the rear battery compartment cover
from the remote control handset. To do this
push the tab towards the bottom of the handset
and lift (See figure 8). Fit the batteries in to the
handset taking care to locate them correctly. It
is important that the + and - symbols on the
battery match those of the illustration inside the
battery compartment. With the batteries inserted
the display screen on the handset will now
display the room temperature in degrees
centigrade and the word ‘OFF’ in the top left
hand corner.

7.2 Fitting batteries to the heat engine.
The gas valve on the heat engine is battery powered. There are three ‘C’ size batteries
supplied. Fit the batteries into the battery holder on the front right hand side of the heat
engine. It is important that the + and - symbols on the battery match those of the
illustration inside the battery holder.
7.3 Setting the handset and receiver relationship.
The handset and receiver unit on the fire will not comunicate unless the following
procedure is completed. Ensure that sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been completed.
NOTE: Whenever the on-off button
has been pressed the ‘ON’ word will flash
on the handset screen for 5 seconds and return to ‘OFF’ if no other buttons are
pressed. This is a default in case of the on-off button being pressed accidentally.
xPress the on-off button
(The word ‘ON’ will now start to flash in the top left hand
corner of the display screen).
xQuickly press and hold the on-off button ,the flame increase
button and the
flame decrease buttons simultaneously.
xPress the ‘SET’ button.
The L.E.D. light on the bottom left hand side of the fire will illuminate and the clock

control handset is now set to operate the fire.
7.4 Checking the ignition operation.
xPress the on-off button
(The word ‘ON’ will now start to flash in the top left hand
corner of the display screen).
xPress
the ‘SET’ button. The L.E.D. light on the bottom left hand side of the fire will
illuminate and a small twin flame symbol will flash on the handset. There will be a
slight delay and several sparks should be seen between the electrode and pilot tip. If
there are no sparks check the following: -
x
Repeat section 7.3 ensuring that the L.E.D. light on the bottom left hand side of the
fire illuminates when the ‘SET’ button is pressed.
x
Ensure that the electrode lead is connected to the terminal at the base of the electrode.
xIf the above is correct, check for damage to the electrode lead.

8. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any rear-concealed connection. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for
isolating the gas supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then, before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace
it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the hotbox and run to the ‘T’
connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the
hotbox must be kept away from the area which will be taken by the hotbox when it is
installed. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet ‘T’ connector is 25mm above the
fireplace floor. The inlet ‘T’ connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.
9. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION
1. Detach the spillage plate from the hotbox by removing
the four screws (See figure 9).
2. Remove the protective film (Where fitted) from the
spillage plate. Place the spillage plate in a safe place
away from the work area.
3. Remove the six screws from the side of the inner
reflector (See figure 10).
4. Carefully lift the inner reflector and pull forward to
remove. Be careful not to scratch the top surface of
the burner cover (See figure 10). The reflector may
‘spring’ a little. For this reason it is important to hold
the edges firmly when removing.
5. Remove the protective film from the inner reflector.
Place the inner reflector in a safe place away from the
work area.
6. Remove the two screws to the side of the burner cover (See figure 11)
7. Detach the burner cover by lifting clear of the burner module (See figure 11)
8. Remove the protective film (Where fitted) from the burner cover. Place the burner
cover in a safe place away from the work area.
9. Detach the burner unit from the hotbox by lifting clear.
10. Fit the two “U” section seals to the bottom edges of the hotbox side flanges (See
figure 12).

11. It is important that the grommet supplied in the
loose parts pack is fitted to the hole in the rear of the
convection box.
12. For concealed
connection only: Pierce the
grommet to allow the pipe to
pass through it. The grommet
should envelop the pipe. If
the hole is larger than the
pipe, seal it with tape. Do
not pierce the grommet
unless the supply pipe is to
pass through it.
13. The appliance is supplied
with two fireback spacers.
Do not fit the fireback
spacers if the fire is to be
installed into a precast or
clay flue block system as in
section 4.2.3. These should
extend backwards to ensure sufficient clearance
from the back of the fireplace. Remove the label

14. This appliance is supplied with a flue restrictor for use where the flue draught is
excessive. The restrictor must NOT be fitted
where a precast flue or a flue liner is used. For
all other installations the restrictor should be
fitted. There may however, be certain
exceptional circumstances where fitting the
restrictor causes the fire to fail the spillage test.
In such cases the restrictor will have to be
removed. After removal conduct the spillage
check again.
The restrictor is packed loose with the
appliance and is fixed with two screws (See
figure 14). The restrictor has two
location holes and a notch along one
edge. It is important that the notch is
positioned to the top (See figure 14).
15. There is a length of self adhesive
foam seal supplied with the fire. This
will need to be fitted to the outer rear
edges of the side and top flanges of the
hotbox. Cut a 485mm length of foam
seal. Be careful not to stretch the seal
when measuring. Remove the protective
backing from the foam seal and fit this
to the rear of the top flange (See figure
15). Cut two 580mm lengths. Fit these
to the rear outer edges of the side
flanges. Ensure that there is no gap
between the foam seals where they meet
at the top flange (See figure 15).
