Installation the fire
•
Remove the tray for vermiculite.
• Remove the burner plate.
• Mark out and drill 4 holes (8mm) in the back face of the
fire opening in the positions shown in fig 2.
• Fit the expanding shells with eye bolt and fixing the eyes
securely into the rear of the fire opening.
•
Making the Gas Connection.
• The gas connection should be made to the appliance inlet
elbow using 8 mm rigid or semirigid tubing.An isolating
elbow or gas cock must be fitted to the pipe work.
• Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each
of the cables through one of the two holes at the top of
the fire box.
• Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the
hearth and reach into the fire opening.
Thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the
pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire.Thread the
free end of the cables through the corresponding circular
hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully
slide the firebox back into the fire opening and pull both
cables tight .
• Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and
ensure that the tensioning nut is screwed fully up against
the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw (this provides
maximum travel for the tensioning nut).
• Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand
tight up against the tensioning screw, then secure each nip-
ple with a hexagonal wrench.
• Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables
and pull the fire snugly against the wall.
Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up
against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to be
compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.
•
Seal the bottom with lute.
• With the fire securely in place, if a concealed gas connec-
tion has been made through the access hole in the rear of
the fire, the cover should be slid down so that the circular
cutout neatly traps the gas supply pipe.
The securing screws should then be tightened to lock the
cover in positon.
• Replace the burner plate.
• Replace the tray for vermiculite.

Checking for clearance of combustion
products
• Close all doors and windows in the room.
• Light the fire and allow to run for approximately
5 minutes on high position.
• After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match just
inside and below the centre of the lower front edge of the
top of the fire. (It is recommended that a suiteble smoke
match holder is used when checking for clearance of com-
bustion products ).All smoke generated should be drawn
back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in doubt,
repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes.
If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a
fault exists. If, after investigation the fault cannot be traced
and rectified, the fire must be disconnected from the gas
supply and expert advice obtained.
• If there is an extrator fan fitted any where in the
vicinity of the appliance, the test should be repeated
with the fan running on maximum and all intercon-
necting doors open.
• After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on
high position to fully warm up.
During this time a slight odour may be noticed, this is due to
the "newness"of the fire and will soon disappear.At this stage
any minor adjustments to the coals should be made using
suitable long handled tongs and taking care not to damage
the coals.
• Finally, hand the instructions over to the customer and
explain the operation of the fire.
Remote control
Remote control is supplied as a standard accessory.
Batteries, with a life expectancy of approximately one year,
feed the electrical supply.The remote control will only
work if the pilot light is lit.
Connecting the receiver
The remote control system comprises a receiver and a
remote control, packed together in one box. The receiver
must be connected to the appliance.
This is done as follows:
• Take the receiver out of the box.
• Slide the plug of the cable onto the receiver circuit board
(fig. 5).
• Connect the wires to the connectors on the gas control
valve.The different sized plugs correspond with the con-
nectors on the gas control valve.
• Open the lid.
• Insert 4 penlight batteries (type AA). Make sure they are
the right way round.
• Replace the lid.
• Place the reciever under the appliance on the floor. Make
sure that the red LED points to the front.
• NB: Fit the receiver as far away from the
burner tray as possible to prevent the receiver from
getting too hot.
Replacing the batteries in the receiver
• Open the flap at the front.
• Take the reciever and open the cover.The batteries are
under that cover.
• Remove the old batteries and insert the new ones, making
sure that the + and – signs on the batteries correspond
with those in the holder.
Inserting or replacing the batteries
in the remote control
• Remove the cover on the back of the remote control.
• Connect a square battery (type 6LR61) to the clip.
• Fit the battery in the holder.
• Replace the cover.
• The temperature is shown on the display in Fahrenheit,
press both buttons for a few seconds and it will change to
Celsius.
NB: Do not throw old batteries in the dustbin.They
should be treated as Chemical Waste.

If that is the case, hold button A firmly pressed for
another 5 seconds.Then release button A and check that
the pilot light is still burning. Now turn button A to the
large flame , which will open the main valve of the
control block. Depending on the setting of the control
button B, high or low flames will be visible. If the ignition
does not operate properly, relight.
Remote Control
The height of the flames can be regulated by remote con-
trol, which will turn button B on the gas control block.
Press the bottom button ( ) on the remote control for
a smaller flame.When you push the button above ( )
and the little button at the remote control at the same
time, the flames become higher. Manually adjusting button
B will have the same effect.A certain force is required
when rotating button B, a clicking sound is quite normal.
Pilot light setting
If the heater is not in use but you would like the pilot
light to remain alight, set button A to the small flame. The
gas supply to the main burner will then be turned off.
Switching off
Turn button A to the "0" setting.The gas supply to the
burners will then turned off.
Important
A built-in safety lock is activated when the appliance is
switched to "OFF" (closed down setting).Therefore, wait
5 minutes before relighting the heater.Within this period,
do not try to push the lighting button, as this has been
blocked by the safety lock. Do not force the button, as
this may result in damage to the mechanism.

GENERAL NOTES
English
GENERAL NOTES
Flue-gas protection
An insufficient air supply or a malfunctioning chimney duct
could reduce the concentration of oxygen in the room to
such an extent that there would not be enough oxygen
left for complete combustion of the gas, resulting in the
formation of carbon monoxide.The air supply must com-
ply with national guidelines.
This appliance is fitted with an ‘oxypilot’ (pilot-light
burner), which also prevents a dangerous concentration of
combustion products forming in the room as a result of
incomplete gas combustion.The installer should allow the
fire to burn for 10 mins. and then check that the flue gases
are discharged properly.
The pilot-light burner cannot be serviced. If it is defective,
you can order a new one via your installer. Only authentic
replacement parts are to be used.The pilot-light burner
must not be adjusted or altered in any way whatsoever.
The installer must not short-circuit the pilot-light system
in any way whatsoever.
Gas Safety Regulations
(for installation & use) 1998 (amended)
In your own interest and that of safety, it is law that all gas
appliances are installed by competent persons in accor-
dance with the above regulations. Failure to install appli-
ances correctly could lead to prosecution.
NB:The Council of Registered Gas Installers, whose
members are identified by the emblem shown
here, are all required to work to the recognised
standards.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Periodic maintenance should be carried out by a registered
installer.The gas-control block must not be greased. Do
not use any caustic or abrasive agents when cleaning the
appliance.The chimney must be inspected regularly to
make sure that all flue gases are discharged through the
chimney. Do not allow excesses of soot to build up in the
chimney. Any soot that has formed in the chimney should
be removed, only when it is cooled down.The ventilation
should be checked regularly to make sure that there is no
obstruction.
Discoloration of walls and ceiling
Brown discoloration is an annoying problem, which is
difficult to solve. It can be caused by dust burning as a
result of poor ventilation, for example, or by cigarette
smoke or candles.
These problems can be avoided by ensuring that the room
the heater is in is properly ventilated.A good guideline for
ventilation is:
New buildings : 3.24 m3/ hour per m2floor
surface of the room.
Existing buildings : 25.20 m3/ hour for a room.
Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible, keeping the
wick as short as possible.While they enhance the
atmosphere, candles and oil lamps also cause the
formation of large quantities of unhealthy soot particles in
your home. Cigarette and cigar smoke contains tar, which
upon heating will precipitate on cold or damp walls. If you
have a newly cemented chimney or have had any other
reconstructions / renovations done, you are advised to
wait at least 6 weeks before lighting your fire, to allow the
walls, floor and ceiling to dry out completely.
Lighting the heater for the first time
There can be an unpleasant smell when you light the
heater for the first time.This is caused by the varnish
evaporating and will disappear after a few hours.We
therefore advise you, on initial use, to heat the appliance at
the highest setting while ventilating the room it is installed
in.
Extra protection
This heater meets the normal safety standards regarding
surface temperatures, but physical contact with heated
surfaces should be avoided where possible.An additional
guard is recommended to protect young children and
elderly, infirmed or handicapped people.
