Introduction
This appliance is supplied as a complete suite of enclosure of gas fire
burner unit, enclosure and fascia. To comply with the approval this fire
must be installed as designed.
The fascia must be installed as intended and ventilation to the burner must
be provided. Special notice should be taken for the requirements of both
the metal and stone fascia versions as the enclosure must be installed
differently.
The fire is supplied with a gather to attach the enclosure to a 200mm Flue
Liner. This must be fitted with the appliance. Failure to use the gather
provided will invalidate the warranty.
This is a high power appliance and a steady gas supply within +/- 1mBar of
the approved pressure must be maintained at all times. Inlet is via an 8mm
gas line. If the gas line is longer than 1.5mtrs then the gas line should be
increased in diameter to 15mm and possibly larger depending on the
length of gas pipe required.
LPG Version. If running n Gas Bottles two 47Kg bottles with regulator and
changeover valve will be required. Failure to do this will result in nuisance
shutdowns.
This appliance requires a 240v 3A fused spur next to the appliance and
within easy access of the user.
Flue System & Ventilation
As this is a “double sided” appliance with an opening on both sides of the
appliance extreme care must be taken to ensure the flue system used is
sufficient to provide the correct draw and avoid spillage.
It is likely a “fan flue system” will be required, a site survey by a flue
specialist s recommended before installing the appliance.
The appliance must not be installed in the same room as an air
conditioning unit or ceiling fans. The appliance requires a minimum of
100cm2 free air room ventilation inline with building and local regulations.

Page 6 of 46
Unpacking the Appliance
Read these instructions fully before proceeding.
Carefully examine the carton for damage before unpacking. If it is
obviously damaged, consult the supplier over whether to proceed.
Remove the fire and examine its general condition. If satisfied by the
condition proceed with the installation. Any damage or defects must be
reported “before” installing the appliance. No claims will be accepted for
damage after the appliance has been installed.
The installation should only be carried out by a GAS SAFE Registered fitter
and in accordance with national and local Regulations for both gas and
electricity.
The installation must also be in accordance with relevant parts of local and
national building regulations.
For the Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to IS813 and ICP3
and any guidance notes from Bord Gais.
Failure to have the fire fitted by a qualified person inline with national
regulations will nullify ALL guarantees.

Burner Construction
Take some time to review the burner construction taking note of the
positions of the main components and connections.
WARNING: Removal of the connections from the remote system or the
grommets holding the mains supply and hard wire as shown in the
burner construction drawings will result in the warranty being
invalidated. No claims will be accepted for damage caused by the
burner being tampered with. All CVO fires are given a 100% full
function test at the factory and are very reliable hence there is no
need to remove any fittings.
There are 3 connections to the burner unit.
•240V 3A Mains supply
•8mm Gas Connection
•Hard Wire Remote Switch
Before commencing to create the fire opening for the inglenook unit, Note
to maintain a good standing pressure we recommend that a 15mm supply
be piped in as close as possible with a reduction down to 8mm diameter
copper pipe (no longer that 2m in length – gas supply to the burner unit)
must be installed, the gas supply pipe should run into the installed
enclosure from either the rear, left or right hand sides, the gas supply is
best run through the left side of the enclosure.
Additionally a 240volt 3amp fused spur power supply should be installed.
This is best fitted so that the power supply is located to the right side of
the unit. This will provide the power source for the remote control system.
NOTE – DO NOT connect power to the hardwired switch as this will
damage the remote control system. There are yellow labels attached to
the cables please follow the information.

The black lead is the electrical feed to the burner, a 3 amp fused spur located wherever
convenient is to be connected between the power supply and the burners black lead. The
Grey or white wire is connected to the hardwire switch which if used, can be positioned
as required. NOTE- DO NOT connect the Hardwire switch to the mains, as this will damage
the unit.
A mains connection is required close to the fireplace-a 0.7m cable is provided for this
purpose with a special plug connected to the burner control box.
A 3amp socket may be used, or a fused spur outlet can be purpose provided.
The colour code of the mains is as follows;
Green/Yellow - EARTH
Brown - LIVE
Blue - NEUTRAL
The appliance must be in a position so that the mains supply is accessible for routine
maintenance. A 3amp fuse should be fitted in the plug of fused spur.
WARNING – This appliance must be earthed.

Page 11 of 46
Remote Control System
The remote system is supplied with both the hard-wired wall mounted
switch and infrared hand held system as standard. Both options allow full
control of the fire – ON, OFF, UP, DOWN. The wall mounted switch and
cable carries low voltage, (20v). The colour code used in the switch wiring
diagrams must not be confused with normal mains colour coding.
Use and install both systems. This gives increased reliability and is
recommended by CVO. The removal of the remote components can lead to
accidental damage of the remote system which will not be covered by the
warranty. The magic eye is situated on the fascia and great care must be
taken on plugging this into the control board. When running the cabling for
the hardwire great care must be taken to ensure that the switch is wired
correctly (see image below taking notice of the “top” of the switch which is
where the Blue/Brown are attached.

Burner Connections
This fire is supplied with an enclosure and integral burner.
IMPORTANT: The appliance is supplied with a fully tested and working gas
burner. There is no need to dismantle the burner. This could result in
damage to the fire which is not covered by the warranty. No connections
should be removed or broken. Removal of any connections will result
in the warranty being invalidated.
The Fire requires 3 connections:
1. GAS SUPPLY
The fire has an 8mm inlet via an isolation valve. The fire also includes a
pressure test point elbow to test inlet pressure. The gas pipe work should
be routed into the enclosure via the available access holes. If the gas pipe
work is over 1.5mtrs in length it is recommended that the pipe work is
increased in diameter from this point to 15mm and possibly 22mm
depending on the length to the meter. This will ensure a stable gas supply.
2. HARD WIRE REMOTE
The hard wire remote has a switch connected. This cable should be routed
from the appliance to a position which is suitable for the user. If it is
required to remove the switch plate in order to install into the wall great
care must be taken when removing the switch. The switch has a “top”
marked on it. The cables must be fitted back in the same sequence
otherwise remote damage will occur.
3. MAINS VOLTAGE
This is via a black cable. This must be fitted to a 3A 240V fused spur supply
which is within access of the user should the fuse need changing. This is
the power source for the remote control system.
Great care must be taken when handling the burner and hard wire system.
Burner Removal
Removal of the burner will invalidate the warranty. If the burner
needs to be removed for repair follow the below steps:
•Remove the front shelf.
•Remove the 2 screws on each side which hold the shelf mounting
brackets to the enclosure.
•Disconnect the gas and electricity supply.
•The burner carriage is screwed to the bottom of the enclosure by 2
screws. Once removed the full burner assembly will lift out.
•Refit is the same procedure in reverse.
•The fire should be commissioned once refitted.

Installation Instructions
General
This Fire Ribbon unit is intended for decorative purposes. The installation
must be in accordance with National Regulations and must be carried out
by a qualified installer.
Clearances between the fire and all combustible materials must conform to
National Regulations.
This fire must be installed and used in accordance with these instructions.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions
(identification of the type of gas and pressure and the adjustment of the
appliance) are compatible.
The builders opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a non-
combustible material.
For some countries a purpose provided air supply must be fitted in
accordance with National Regulations (e.g. United Kingdom - minimum 100
cm2)
When installed, this unit should be located to the rear of the fire opening.
For some countries a non-combustible hearth must be fitted in front of the
fire in accordance with National Regulations (e.g. United Kingdom).
Any flue damper plate or flue restrictor must be removed or fixed
permanently in a fully open position, or shall only be fitted in accordance
with National Regulations.
The chimney must be swept before the appliance is installed.
NOTE: If the chimney is not swept, there is a possibility that loose debris
will fall onto the appliance which may result in damage and unnecessary
service costs. A simple smoke test will determine if the flue is working
correctly.
Before the fire is installed a flue test in accordance with National
Regulations should be carried out. The unit must not be installed unless
the chimney / flue length is at least the length and size indicated in
the ‘Technical Data’ section.
Under no circumstances should this unit be installed and operated within
any premises without an adequate flue or chimney system.

Page 14 of 46
The gas connection must be in accordance with National Regulations.
An isolation valve (or valves) has to be fitted adjacent to the appliance,
which, when closed allows the complete burner and control assembly to be
disconnected for maintenance and repair in accordance with national
regulations.
The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing device. If for any reason any part of the pilot
assembly is to be replaced ALL the assembly including the pilot burner,
thermocouple, electrode and injector must be exchanged complete for an
original manufacturer's pilot assembly only. This atmosphere sensing
device is not adjustable and must not be put out of action. The pilot light
shuts off both the main burner and pilot if evacuation of the combustion
products is interrupted. If the fire shuts itself off, do not use the fire, and
have the flue and fire checked by a suitably qualified person.
Do not throw rubbish on the unit, as this will block or hamper its efficiency.
Due to the newness of the materials, the fire may give off a slight smell for
a period of time after commissioning. This is quite normal and any odours
should disperse within a few hours of operation.
This fire is approved for use with a flue system of 1.5m. If a flue system in
excess of the specified length is used this may cause a very strong draw to
occur which will result in the flame being adversely effected. This may
cause the flame to be forced towards the back of the enclosure. This is
unavoidable and is a site specific condition and does not indicate an
appliance fault.
The fire must be installed with the fascia “floating” on the wall with the
required “air intake” area provided as shown in the following pages. The
fascia should never be “flush” mounted otherwise serious burner damage
will occur.
The fire should never be operated without the heat shield in place. Any
resulting damage is not covered by the warranty.

Page 15 of 46
Building and Installation Work
A qualified person should complete all building work; a qualified and
competent person to all relevant national legislative controls must carry
out the installation of gas burners, mechanical extraction, flue systems and
remote control units.
Building work
Building work should only commence after a thorough survey of the
intended location of the impending installation has been completed and it
has been established that the unit can be installed and operated without
risk to the owner or tenants of the property or their neighbours.
Where existing chimney systems are to be used in conjunction with the Fire
Ribbon, they should have been swept and undergone thorough
examination to ensure that they are in a sound and safe condition, as well
as providing an adequate draw when the gas fire unit is in operation.
A simple smoke test will reveal weather or not the chimney is working
correctly.
Installation Procedures
It is important that the gas supply is disconnected before any old existing
surround and hearth is removed.
The Fire Ribbon enclosure should be located centrally to the existing flue /
chimney at your desired height.
If the fire is not placed central to the chimney, the flame picture may pull
incorrectly.
In some installations it is necessary to install a small lintel unit above the
opening, if so an allowance must be made to accommodate the lintel. NOTE
- The Fire Ribbon does not have its own support lintel. NOTE – The support
lintel is not supplied with the unit.

Builders Opening / Wall Depth
IMPORTANT – Before commencing any work check the type of
fascia to be fitted.
The Enclosure has a total depth of 490mm. The actual wall depth is
decided by the type of fascia to be fitted.
For a Stone Fascia the enclosure front edge must sit 20mm
out from the finished wall.
For a Metal Fascia the enclosure front edge must sit flush with the
wall, regardless of the type of enclosure.
Examples:
Fire fitted with 2 x stone fascia – wall depth (finished face to finished
face – without fascia) – 450mm.
Fire fitted with 2 x metal fascia – wall depth (finished face to finished
face – without the fascia) – 490mm
Fire fitted with 1 x stone fascia & 1 x metal fascia – wall depth
(finished face to finished face – without fascia) – 470mm.
This wall depth is critical to ensure the fire fits correctly and performs as
designed.

Fitting the Gather
The gather supplied with the appliance must be fitted. Failure to fit the
appliance will nullify the warranty. The gather is designed to ensue the
appliance operates safely. How the gather is installed depends on the type
of installation. When installing in a new build situation t may be possible to
build the fire withy gather and flue then construct the final wall.
Dry fit the gather to the enclosure taking note of where the gather and
enclosure overlap. In some installations it may be possible to insert the
gather into the opening and lift up to allow space to slide the enclosure in.
This reduces the need for a very large builders opening. The joint between
gather and enclosure must be sealed by silicone or metal tape to ensure an
airtight seal when fitting the gather.
