•For some countries a non-combustible hearth must be fitted in front of
the fire in accordance with National Regulations (e.g. United Kingdom).
•Flue System: The FR600 can be used with a brick built chimney or a
lined flue with a minimum diameter of 125mm (5”). The chimney must
have a minimum effective height of at least 3 metres. The chimney
should be swept prior to installation if it has previously been used with
solid fuel. This is not necessary if the flue has previously been used with a
gas appliance or if it is a new installation. (see install section for full
details on the flue requirements). Any flue damper plate or flue restrictor
must be removed.
•Gas Supply: The appliance is for use on Natural Gas (G20 @ 20mbar)
only. Inlet is via an 8mm gas line to the isolation valve provided with the
fire. The gas connections must be in accordance with National
Regulations. 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
final length to ensure a steady gas supply. The fire is supplied with an
isolation valve inside the appliance. This must be used. When closed this
will allow the complete burner and control assembly to be disconnected
for maintenance or repair in accordance with National Regulations.
•The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing devise. 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
devise 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.
•The FR600 is operated by a manual control valve with piezo ignition
therefore no mains electrical supply is required. Please take some time to
learn the lighting procedure.
•The chimney or flue (unless new or previously used with a gas appliance)
must be swept before installation if it has been used for solid fuel.
•The fire front (fret) or fascia supplied must be used with this appliance.
The fascia must be installed with the fascia “floating” on the wall.
•Failure to install the appliance correctly could lead to prosecution. In GB
(Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person
i.e. GAS SAFE registered, in accordance with the GAS SAFETY
(INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS, the building regulations (or the
building regulations (Scotland) or the building regulations (Northern
Ireland). In IE (Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent
person and installed in accordance with the current edition of I.S.813
Domestic Gas Installation, the current building regulations.
•The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS 1945
(1997) however, a fireguard conforming to BS6539 (1997) must be used
to protect young children, the elderly or infirm.
•The appliance MUST NOT be used with the glass safety screen removed or
if it is damaged or cracked.
