INTRODUCTION
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL is a decorative fuel effect appliance with a radiant heat conserver box for
improved efficiency.
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL is designed and tested to the requirements of the EN 509
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL is available in two versions Natural Gas or LPG (Propane Gas Only). The
markings (G20 for natural gas or G31 for propane) on the packaging and the data badge specify the gas for which the
appliance has been factory set. Note: These appliances should only be used on the appropriate gas specified. They
are not suitable for conversion from one gas to the other.
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL should be installed and serviced by a competent person i.e. Gas Safe-
registered, in accordance with the current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 (as amended).
The chimney or flue (unless new) must be swept before installation if it has been used for solid fuel or oil.
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot, and main
burner low and high settings.

6 LT5049 (ISS 2)
The PARAGON 2000 Plus SLIDE CONTROL incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen Depletion System,
which constantly monitors the oxygen in the room and will cause the fire to switch off if the oxygen level reduces,
for instance due to insufficient ventilation or a blocked flue.
If this repeatedly occurs do not attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer has checked it, the
problem may not be due to lack of air or a defective flue.
Warning:-This appliance has a naked flame, has with all such fires it is recommended that a fireguard should be
used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. Fireguards should conform to BS 6539 (1984) (Fireguards
for use with solid fuel appliances).
During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel bed. This is quite
normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive black staining does occur it may be due
to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
SECTION TWO Operation (user instructions)
The full lighting procedure is as follows: -
A. Push slide control lever down, as far as possible a clicking noise will be heard and the pilot will light, HOLD
DOWN FIRMLY FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS.
B. Pull lever up and the pilot light should remain alight and the main burner should light on its low setting.
C. Should the pilot fail to light, pull the lever fully up to turn off the appliance, wait 3 minutes and repeat the
procedure (a & b). If the pilot does not light and no clicking noise is heard replace the battery and try again.
D. After lighting the pilot flame and the main burner on its low setting the control lever may be lifted until slight
resistance is felt, this will put the burner on its high setting.
E. To completely extinguish the fire, pull the lever up past the resistance to its fullest extent.
F. The fire may be operated on either its low or high setting.
G. It is recommended that the appliance is operated on its high setting for a short period before adjusting to
the low setting.
H. If the ignition does not operate fit a new 9V battery (PP3/MN1602) to the ignition unit, located behind the
fret adjacent to the gas inlet pipe, and repeat ignition procedure prior to reporting a fault.
Note: - If the ignition fails the pilot can be lit with a taper or a match held at the pilot head.

It is recommended that a non combustible hearth extends a minimum of 300mm forward of the fire opening and a
minimum of 150mm either side, and that a rise exist at the front edge and sides of the hearth of a minimum of 50mm.
The fire may be installed so that its base sits on a surface of a fire opening at least 105 mm up from the floor (this is to
ensure that no flame or incandescent material is less than 225mm above the floor, a requirement of approved
document “J”). Where this is the case a means must be provided to support the fret this may typically be meet with a
small projecting hearth of minimum 100mm.Unless the fret is fixed to the appliance or is an integral part of the fascia
of the appliance.
Consideration should be given to the location of the appliance ensuring it is very visible and it should be positioned at
a height were it can clearly be seen on approach.
Frets, and Fascias used for HOLE in the WALL must be compliant with Paragon Fires CE approval; these are listed at
the end of this page.
Where the fire is fitted as a “Hole in the Wall” without a hearth the installer MUST ensure the appliance is fixed firmly
into the opening to ensure no movement takes place to the fuel bed when the appliance controls are operated.
The installer MUST ensure that the fuel bed is laid correctly and securely
The installer MUST advise the user that care should be taken when the appliance is in use to ensure occupants do not
get unnecessarily close to the appliance or position furniture or other appliances to close.
The installer MUST remind user of the requirement to fit a “secure fireguard” where the room is used by elderly, infirm
or young persons.
The installer MUST explain to the user that the area immediately in front of the appliance must always be keep clear
of combustible items other than the floor covering (which must be fixed)
Purpose-built superimposed fire-resistant hearths and back panels, specified as suitable by the manufacturers, may
be used, or a suitable proprietary fire surround with a 100oC rating.

www.charltonandjenrick.co.uk 19 LT5049 (ISS 2)
CLEARANCE TO SHELF
Minimum clearance from hearth to underside of combustible shelf should be 700mm provided shelf depth 150mm
or less. This height may be reduced to 640mm for a shelf depth of 100mm or less. ( Low Lintel 650mm for shelf of
150mm).
When the shelf depth is increased by increments of 12.5 mm greater than 150mm, add 25mm to the 700mm minimum
clearance.
CLEARANCE TO SIDES OF FIRE
Minimum width between vertical sides of combustible surround should not be less than 700mm provided fire is central
to surround and sides do not project more than 150 mm. When vertical side forward projection is increased by 12.5
mm add 50 mm to inside width of surround.
N.B. When fire is fitted this provides a minimum side clearance of 100mm.
Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or decoration, e.g. many
embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance.
VENTILATION
In the United Kingdom no special ventilation bricks or vents are required into the room containing the appliance,
provided normal adventitious room ventilation exists. The installer must satisfy this point by carrying out a mandatory
spillage test.
In the Republic of Ireland permanent ventilation must comply with the rules in force
SECTION NINE To Install the Appliance (installation instructions)
EXAMINE FLUE / CHIMNEY
Check that the flue/chimney conforms to the required specifications as previously stated. Examine the condition
and carry out any remedial work. If the flue/chimney has been used for solid fuel or oil, it should be swept prior to
appliance installation. A smoke test must be carried out to check that satisfactory smoke clearance has been
established. If all the smoke is not drawn into the flue, pre-heat the flue with a blowtorch or similar and re-check. If
there is any uncertainty examine for the cause and, if necessary, seek expert advice.
CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY
Determine where the gas supply is to be connected to the appliance. This may be done from the front of the unit
from either the left or right side, or a concealed fitting from the rear.

The pipe should be positioned so that when the appliance is pushed back into the opening it enters the grommet
hole at least 180mm, taking into account the requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with enclosed pipes.
Note: pipe-work in the opening of the fireplace to the rear of the appliance must be suitably wrapped in accordance
with the regulations.
Taking great care grip the copper protective sleeve at
the end of the gas control spindle (DO NOT GRIP
SPINDLE IN ANY OTHER PLACE) as shown and remove
the screw from the end as shown above.
Ensure the spindle is pushed back inside the control
valve as far as possible. Ensure the bell crank
mechanism is swung up to give easy access to the
gas connection point as shown.
Cut a cross slit in the rubber grommet and feed the
appliance onto the 8mm-gas supply pipe. Position
the restrictor elbow supplied and mark supply pipe
at its cut off length. Remove appliance, cut pipe to
correct length, refit appliance and make gas
connection with restrictor elbow use 15mm A/F
spanner taking care not to apply any force to the gas
control spindle as above. Ensure the restrictor valve
is opened and its cap replaced tightly.
Check for gas soundness. Reconnect the bell crank
mechanism as above ensuring that the gas control
spindle is gripped only over the protective copper
sleeve and no other part of the spindle as, ensure
NO side strain is applied to the spindle.
