This product is free from asbestos.
This product uses components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it
makes sense 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 polythene bag, and clearly marked 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 do 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.

General Installation Requirements
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions and the adjustment pressure of the appliance are compatible.
(Natural gas G20 at 20mbar pressure. Category I
2H
). The fire must not be installed in a room containing a bath or in any
room where steam may be present. The fire is designed for installation into a builder’s opening conforming to BS 1251 and
twin walled metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715. The flue box must be installed on to a suitable non-combustible
insulating surface at least 50mm thick. This gas fire is suitable to use with precast flues with a minimum free internal cross
sectional area of 12500mm
2
. In perfect circumstances a precast flue will be built with an air gap between the flue bricks and
the plaster, but, some earlier precast flues built with plaster directly on the face of the blocks may show evidence of plaster
cracking when fitted with a gas fire. This is not normally a problem caused by the appliance however; the customer should
be advised insulation or an air gap should be included between the blocks and the plaster to prevent any further damage.
The flue must have an effective vertical height of not less than 3 meters, measured from the base of the hearth to the top of
the flue. The flue spigot on the reverse of the fire must not be obstructed by anything and should have at least 50mm
clearance above and behind them. Diagram 1B
Any dampers, plates or restrictors should be removed or fixed in the fully open position before installation. Check
that the flue pipe in the roof space is connected and the correct diameter.
A natural draught system is required and unless new, the flue or chimney should be swept before installation. Also the flue
must be checked to ensure a proper draw can be obtained and that there is no leakage from any of the joints. This is best
done with a smoke pellet.
The flue must only be connected to one fireplace and must not vent more that one gas appliance (i.e. back boiler).
In the case of flue problems it is recommended that a suitable approved terminal be fitted to the termination of the flue. The
terminal should prevent a down draught in any condition and prevent rain and debris from falling down the flue. In all cases it
is recommended that you seek professional advice.
This appliance is suitable to be installed in to back panels approved to a minimum temp’ rating of 150
o
C. A non-combustible
insulation of not less than 50mm must be fitted to the top surface of the metal flue box.
PLEASE NOTE: Local wind conditions can affect the performance of the flue.

Site Requirements
Please read these instructions carefully before installation
Any exposed brickwork should be inspected and repaired where necessary.
The opening should be from 390 mm to 430mm wide and from 540mm to 568mm high and a minimum depth for precast and
5’’ flues of 125mm and for Class 1 a minimum depth of 200mm. Diagram 1A
Diagram 1A Diagram 1B
This appliance requires a natural draught flue system, which may be one of the following: -
225 x 225 Brick or Stone
175mm (7’’) minimum diameter flues (Class 1)
125mm (5’’) minimum diameter flues (Class 2)
Precast flues to BS 1289 including flue blocks with a minimum flue area of 12500mm
2
The flue should be swept before installation of the fire and be tested with a smoke pellet to ensure there are no blockages or
restrictions.
There should be no other openings in fireplace or flue other than the catchment around the face of the opening and the flue
terminal to allow dispersion of flue gases.
The fire must only be installed on non-combustible walls, with a flat area minimum 30mm required around the face of the
opening on to which the frame of the appliance can be sealed.
When the fire is fitted into a fire surround with a deep rebate, normally, the back panel will be fitted with a spacer / marble
slips to fill the gap between the wall and the fire. This should also be sealed with a suitable material such as fire cement. If
there are no slips fitted a spacer must be made and sealed to ensure that the flue does not leak.
To enable the products of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the fire outlet must have a minimum clearance of
50mm between it and the back wall opening or any other obstruction. Diagram 1B
The area immediately above the spigot must form a smooth path for the products of combustion to reach the flue.
*Note: If a pre cast flue or metal box has been previously used for solid fuel or oil appliances, these dimensions must be
increased to 200mm

5
This fire requires a hearth constructed of non-combustible materials and must conform to the minimum dimensions.
Diagram 1C
Diagram 1C Diagram 1D
The hearth must be at least 12mm thick and the top surface should not be less than 50mm above the surrounding floor level,
or have a fixed fender 50mm high, surrounding the hearth.
The surface on which the appliance is to stand must be flat and level with the surface of any decorative hearth fitted in front
of the opening. This fire may be used with a non-combustible fireplace such as marble.
Wooden/combustible shelf may be fitted above the fire as long as it is more than 200 mm above the fire (785mm above the
hearth) and the shelf does not project more than 100mm in front of the fixing plane. If the shelf overhangs more than 100mm
the distance to the fire must increase as shown in Diagram 1D.
Wooden/combustible materials may be fitted to within 100mm on either side of the fire (minimum 660 between uprights),
providing it does not project forward more than 100mm. If the projection is greater than 100 mm the side clearance must be
increased, by 25mm per 25mm increase in the projection.
Non-combustible materials may be fitted to within 10mm on either side of the fire.
Any combustible sidewall must be a minimum of 500mm from the opening.
Combustible items such as flooring, furniture and soft wall covering such as blown vinyl and embossed papers may scorch
or discolour if placed close to the fire.
Ventilation
Additional purpose-built ventilation is not normally required for this appliance in GB. For IE (Republic of Ireland) ventilation
with a minimum cross sectional area of 100cm
2
is required and should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that it
remains clear.
The chimney should be checked annually for spillage (smoke test) when the appliance is serviced and it should also be
checked for excessive build-up of soot.

There is a flue spigot restrictor plate and TWO fixing screws supplied with these instructions. Diagram 2. This plate must be
fitted to installations where the flue diameter is 7’’ or greater. If the fire fails the spillage test on a 7’’ or greater flue, the
restrictor plate may be removed. Do not fit the restrictor to 5’’ or precast flues.
Diagram 2 Diagram 3
Remove the 3 burner fixing screws and carefully remove the burner. Diagram 3
Before running the gas supply into the fire opening, offer up the firebox to ensure that it fits correctly into the opening.
Note: This appliance must be connected with rigid or semi rigid tubing.
If you have a concealed pipe, it should be run now. The fireplace-opening end of the conduit through which the gas pipe has
been run should be sealed around the pipe to prevent the fire drawing air through the conduit. Cover the end of the 8mm-
supply pipe to prevent any debris getting in during installation of the firebox.
A 38mm hole is provided in the back panel of the firebox to enable entry of pipework. Drill a suitable hole in the rubber
grommet supplied, and fit over the tube.
Fit the foam seal to the outer edge on the rear face of the front frame, making sure that there are no gaps between joints.
Cables and eyelets are provided to allow the appliance to be
wired back into the fireplace opening. There are also four fixing
holes in the fire front frame if required. Check that the rear face of
the opening is structurally sound and fit the eyelets and wallplugs
in the position shown in Diagram 4. Only use the wall plugs
supplied.
Thread the cables through the two larger top holes in the bottom
edge of outlet, feed through the two eyelets and then through the
two holes in the back panel.
Push the firebox back into position and fit the adjusters and
clamps and fix the fire into position by tightening the screw
clamps.
Inspect the seal for possible leaks and re-seal if necessary.
Coil up any surplus cable. DO NOT CUT OFF.

Purge the gas line and pressure check the installation for gas soundness.
Fire Tray Installation
If a concealed gas supply has been incorporated into the installation, ensure the 8mm-supply pipe is in the correct position
to locate the gas inlet pipe.
A gas cock (supplied) must be fitted to the supply inlet pipe on the gas fire, preferably at the front of the burner tray, for easy
access. Please ensure you use as short a run of 8mm pipe as possible. Not more than a 1m length is recommended, as
excessive 8mm pipe could result in a pressure drop. No soldered joints should be made within the appliance.
Connect the 8mm pipe from the adjacent gas supply point isolating cock to the appliance at the pressure test elbow. The gas
inlet pipe is located at the centre beneath the burner and may be connected through the back panel of the fire. The
appliance may be fitted with 8mm rigid or semi-rigid. Ensure all pipes are clear of swarf.
Ensure the gas entry is sealed with the grommet supplied.
Secure the burner assembly with the three screws previously removed.

USER’S INSTRUCTIONS
To the Customer
Annual checking of the flue and regular servicing of this fire is recommended to ensure continued safe operation. Once a year is
the recommended service interval. British Gas/Scottish Gas can carry out this work.
Important Notes: This appliance has been designed to work on natural gas. It is the law that all appliances using
natural gas shall be installed by a competent person, who shall fit in accordance with current Gas Safety Regulations,
the relevant British Standard Installation Specifications, Code of Practice and in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and the various recommendations contained in the building regulations issued by the Department of the
Environment and the building standards (Scotland) regulations issued by the Scottish Department.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THESE REGULATIONS COULD LEAD TO PROSECUTION AND DEEM THE
WARRANTY INVALID.
Please ensure that you are handled all the manufacturer’s documents on completion of the installation. Keep a note of the
installer’s name and address for future reference. Always use the fire in complete accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
The flue system should be checked at least once a year to ensure there is no excessive build up of soot and to ensure the
continued safe clearing of the products of combustion. Parts of this appliance become naturally hot during use.
WARNING: this appliance has a naked flame. A fireguard to BS 6539 or 6778 should be used for the protection of
young children, the elderly and the infirm.
No combustible materials or flooring should protrude onto or to be placed on the hearth. Do not use this fire as a drying
appliance. Do not use this appliance without the correct number of fibre coals, as described in the installation section.
Additional coals MUST NOT BE USED. Do not throw or attempt to burn any other materials on this fire.
Please ensure that before this fire is fitted, the flue has been swept and checked for obstructions or defects within the flue,
which may prevent the free flow of products of combustion. Any purpose – provided ventilation should be regularly checked to
ensure there are no blockages.
If the pilot or fire goes out for any reason, do not attempt to re-light for 3 minutes.
It is quite usual that after first lighting the fire will give off an unusual odour or flame pattern. This should not cause concern, as
the appliance will burn itself in after approximately 30 minutes.
Ventilation
This appliance does not normally require additional ventilation into the room. For Republic of Ireland, ventilation may be
required. Refer to local rules in force.
Replaceable Parts
The ceramic coal and fuel bed is a user replaceable part. Please refer to the Installation Instructions.
Cleaning the Appliance
Before cleaning the appliance, ensure that the fire is turned off and cold.
The fibre back, coals and fire bed may discolour in use. This is normal on this type of this gas appliance.
This product uses components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes
sense 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
polythene bag, and clearly marked 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 do
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.
Debris from any source or soot formed will require removal. This should be carried out by a competent person. Soot will
normally burn itself off as the fire operates. If the soot becomes excessive, the coal, fire beds should be carefully removed.
Cleaning must only take place in the open air or a well-ventilated room using a soft brush on all parts including the fibre back
panel. We do not recommend the use of an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
If excessive debris or soot has been formed it may indicate a problem with the flue or fire which must be investigated and
repaired if required by a competent person.

Clearances to Combustible Surfaces
Wooden/combustible shelf may be fitted above the fire as long as it is more than 200mm above the fire (785mm above the
hearth) and the shelf does not project more than 100mm in front of the fixing plane. If the shelf overhangs more than 100mm the
distance to the fire must increase as shown in the graph in the installation section.
Wooden/combustible materials may be fitted to within 100mm on either side of the fire (minimum 660 between uprights),
providing it does not project forward more than 100mm. If the projection is greater than 100 mm the side clearance must be
increased, by 25mm per 25mm increase in the projection.
Non-combustible materials may be fitted to within 10mm either side of the fire.
Any combustible sidewall must be a minimum of 500mm from the opening.
Combustible items such as flooring, furniture and soft wall covering such as blown vinyl and embossed papers may scorch or
discolour if placed close to the fire.
Operating the Appliance
The gas control valve is situated at the base of the fire tray behind the ash pan cover
along with the data information badge.
The gas control valve incorporates a thermoelectric oxygen depletion device, which in the
event of the problem with the flue performance causing the spillage of products into the
room, the valve will automatically shut off the gas and turn off the fire.
If the appliance switches off automatically, wait for a minimum of 3 minutes then re-light
the fire as described but if the fire continues to switch off automatically, seek professional
advice.
The gas control valve situated behind the fire front offers the following settings: Off, Ignition / Low and High
To light the fire, press in the black control knob and hold in whilst turning anti-clockwise past the spark position (one click) to the
Ign/Low position of the fascia. The Burner should now light on Low.
IMPORTANT: If the burner has failed to ignite after 3 attempts you MUST wait for 3 minutes prior to attempting to re-light.
Having confirmed that the burner is alight, keep the control knob pressed in for further 10 seconds and then release. The burner
should now stay alight on low. If it does not, repeat the procedure.
Now press the control knob in a short way and continue turning fully anti-clockwise to the High flame position.
The burner can now be adjusted to the required setting.
To turn the fire off, push the knob in and turn clockwise to the “O” position.
Spark Failure
In the event of a defective igniter, the pilot can be lit manually by repeating the lighting procedure, this time using a lighted taper
near to the burner when the control knob is turned through the spark position. Once pilot is lit, follow the instructions as normal.
Servicing
All servicing must be carried out by a CORGI registered installer.
The fire and flue should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that products of combustion are entering the flue and there is
no evidence of large deposits of soot on or in the fire bed.
Servicing must be carried out annually and by a competent person, such as a CORGI registered installer. If an operational or
ignition fault develops it must not be used until it has been corrected by a competent person.
Important notice to customer
The cream fibreboard, which may be supplied with this appliance, may discolour on its initial startup.
Please do not be alarmed as this is due to the starch content used in the curing process of the fibre burning out. The
fibre will show signs of discolouration for approximately 1 hour. After this time the starch content will have burnt out
to leave the board close to its original cream colour.
For cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section in the users instructions headed “Cleaning the Appliance”.
Please note that this process is in no way detrimental to the safe operation of the fire.
The model number of this appliance is as stated on the rating plate.
