INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Preliminary Notes Before Installation

This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radi-

ant and convected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type cat-

alytic convertor burner technology.

The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion

System). It must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manu-

facturers original parts must be used.

The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the

Installation Requirements.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only

used in a sufficiently ventilated space. A minimum of 100cm2purpose provided

ventilation is required for this appliance. An openable window or louvre is also

required. This appliance is factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the

pressure stated on the appliance data plate.

The room size must be a minimum of 40m3to allow adequate circulation of air

and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent

spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door. In order to convert

from cubic feet (ft3) to cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume (in ft3) by 35.3.

This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be

used in a room without some form of background heating present.

The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping

area. The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic

converter cleans the flue products to provide a complete combustion system,

which is intrinsically safe.

The appliance must be installed by a competent[1] person in accordance with Gas

Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

On initial lightup of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the first

few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from

outlet grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should

be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this period.

Read all these instructions before commencing installation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless catalytic flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and convect-

ed warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic converter and burner technology.

• The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the flue products

to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe. It is designed to operate on Natural Gas

and is factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data plate.

• The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It must not be

adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturer’s original parts must be used.

• This appliance must be installed by a competent[1] person to ensure that the size of the room in which the

appliance is to be installed is sufficient and the ventilation provision for that room is sufficient for the appli-

ance. Details of how to determine the suitable room size is given in section 3.1 of these instructions and

details of how to determine suitable ventilation are given in section 4.1.

• In the event of gas leakage from the appliance, the gas supply must be turned off at the nearest isolating

valve.

• The appliance must be installed in accordance with the following:

• Failure to comply with the above could lead to prosecution and deem the manufacturer’s warranty invalid.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only in a sufficiently venti-

lated space. The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as described in sections 3.0 and 4.0.

The appliance must be installed in a correctly sized room (see section 3.1), and the correct purpose provided

• On no account should the appliance inlet or outlet openings be blocked or obstructed in any way. Do not

place objects on top of the appliance. Do make sure the appliance is

installed on a flat wall.

• It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These cur-

rents move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the

heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater

where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, candle smoke

etc.) exist, may cause the walls to become discoloured.

• This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and

should not be used in a room without some form of background heat-

ing present. If the appliance is used in a room as the sole source of

heat, then condensation may occur on colder surfaces within the room.

• On first light up of a new appliance, burning off of high tempera-

ture paint and lubricants may occur for the first few hours of opera-

tion. During this period some smoke may be emitted from the outlet

grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room

should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this

period. During this period the appliance may cause smoke alarms to

sound. If this happens, reset the alarms, but do not remove the bat-

teries.

• WARNING: Due to the nature of this product the area around the

top of the appliance (i.e. the grille) gets very hot. Care should be taken when operating the appliance. The

manufacturer of this appliance considers all surfaces as working surfaces with the exception of the control

knob. The guard (glass front) is to prevent risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should be per-

manently removed. It Does Not Give Full Protection For Young Children Or The Infirm. Where young chil-

dren, pets, the elderly or infirm are concerned, a suitable fireguard should be used.

User Instructions

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

If the appliance is to be sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue then

the old flue must be sealed off. It will be necessary to ventilate the old flue to prevent condensation and damp-

ness forming, however any air vent used to ventilate the old flue must not be sited within 500mm of this appli-

ance. If the flue can be ventilated to the outside of the building then this is usually the best solution. If in doubt

then advice should be sought from a local building control officer.

The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. If the appliance is to be mounted on a newly fabricated area of

wall that also serves the purpose of sealing off the old flue then it is very important that there are no holes,

gaps or otherwise in this wall that will allow draughts from the old flue to enter the room, especially directly

behind the appliance. Such draughts could affect the performance of the ODS system and result in nuisance

cutting out, for example. If the gas supply pipe is to enter the appliance from the rear, i.e. emerge from the

wall behind the appliance, then any hole in the wall from which the pipe emerges must be tightly sealed.

Propane/LPG models must not be installed in cellars, basements or any room which is completely below ground

level.

ROOM SIZING

The room size MUST be a minimum of 40m3(e.g. 13’4” x 13’4” x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air

and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces

must not be separated by a door. To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume

in cubic feet (ft3) by 35.3.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

This appliance is designed to be wall-hung. Do not recess any part of the appliance into the wall.

This appliance may be installed in any room in the home except bathrooms or bedrooms. The appliance is

designed to be versatile, and as such will operate correctly when exposed to normal gentle draughts experienced

within the home. It is not recommended, however that the appliance be installed in areas where it is likely to be

directly exposed to persistent strong draughts, that may be generated by outside doors, windows, air vents, air

conditioning units, extractor fans, ceiling fans etc. See section 4.1 for more information on ventilation.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)

Clearances to non-combustibles

Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-made mate-

rials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before proceed-

ing with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4in). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm (20in).

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind the

appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.

A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than 400mm

from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 60mm of a solid floor (i.e. wood or stone) or hearth. This

dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

Clearances to combustible materials

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame.

Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should be

considered as a combustible material or surface.

Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm(4in) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted

within a distance of 500mm(20in) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appli-

ance regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm measured from the top of the appliance

glass panel.

Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre.

Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall

above the appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of

combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It

should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the appliance

are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with their installa-

tion.

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and

does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally

sound and constructed from a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Brick, concrete, finished plaster,

most types of conventional wall paper and dry-lined plasterboard are usually examples of suitable materials,

however as there are many methods of wall construction and many variations in the composition of construc-

tion materials, in some circumstances, cracking may occur to plasterwork. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl

and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or

discolouration may occur over time. Avoid siting the appliance near joins or joints in plasterboard as exposure

to moderate heat may cause cracking along the joint line.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and

ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances

that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not dam-

aged.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 100 mm of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of any

kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

VENTILATION

A minimum of 100 cm2purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. This may be achieved

either with one vent 100 cm2at a high or low position in the room, or split ventilation i.e. 50cm2 installed

at high level and 50cm2 installed at low level within the room. An openable window or equivalent is also

required. The requirements of other flued appliance operating in the same room or space must be taken

into consideration when assessing ventilation.

4.0

4.1

VENTILATION (continued)

Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 4 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation fitted under, or

within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of the

ODS system. The appliance MUST NOT be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. For

Republic of Ireland, see relevant rules in force. The appliance should not be installed within 1 metre of any

air vent.

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE

Remove the outer packaging, remove any instructions or fixing kits.

Read ALL these instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.

GAS SUPPLY ROUTES

There are four possible entry points for the gas

supply pipework to enter the appliance firebox as

shown in figure 2.

These entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes.

Non-concealed gas connections may be made

using the entry points in the bottom or sides of

the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be

made using the knock out hole in the centre back

of the firebox.

Select the most appropriate entry point and knock

out the relevant hole with a sharp tap from a ham-

mer and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to slip snugly

around the outside of the supply pipe and sleeving.

All installation pipework must be in accordance with the current edition of National regulations/codes and

the rules in force.

In order to avoid unnecessary pressure drops, use of small diameter pipe should be kept to a minimum, for

example, we recommend no more than 1.5 metres of 8mm pipe. If a concealed gas connection is to be

made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors using the shortest possible route.

For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient

wall thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided.

Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets out-

lets which may already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corro-

sion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a min-

imum and compression fittings must not be used.

The pipework installation must be tested for tightness before any protection is applied and/or the pipework

and fittings are buried.

FIXING THE APPLIANCE

Remove any protective film coatings from the fin-

ished/decorative surfaces of the appliance. After having select-

ed the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into

account the requirements as specified in sections 3 and 4 of

these instructions, the

integrity of the wall, and

the feasibility of the pro-

posed supply pipe rout-

ing, the firebox of the

appliance may be

secured to the wall.

To ensure customer

safety, be sure to design

the installation so that the strength of both the wall and any wall fix-

ings used are sufficient.

Focal Point Fires plc. assumes absolutely no responsibility for

injuries and/or damages that may occur due to improper installation or handling. The appliance should not

be installed until all wet plastering and/or dry wall sanding and wall painting has been completed. Do not

block the ventilation holes of the appliance.

The wall onto which the appliance is installed must be flat. Install

only on a vertical surface. Avoid sloped surfaces. Installation onto

anything other than a vertical wall may result in fire, damage or

injury. If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a con-

ventional cavity brick wall, or a solid wall, then the wall plugs and

fixing screws provided may be used. Depending on the condition of

the wall it may be necessary to use additional fixings. In this situa-

tion, any additional fixings and

wallplugs should be of the same size

and type as the ones provided. At the

appropriate stage of the installation, drill four holes using only a 8mm mason-

ry bit to a depth of 42mm. Insert the wallplugs provided ensuring they are

flush to the wall.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed con-

struction wall then efforts should be made to fix in at least two positions ver-

tically, into one of the wooden studs, or supporting wooden members of the wall using two of the fixing

screws provided. If this is not achievable then the wall should be strengthened using appropriate building

materials.

If there is no alternative than to rely on some plasterboard fixings then special cavity screw fixings or hol-

low wall anchors will be required which are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed

from metal and not plastic and of the design shown in figure 4. For further guidance for wall fixing in tim-

ber framed buildings refer to any relevant local codes of practice.

Flat Wall Fixing - All Models

To assist with fixing the appliance, a template is provided as

shown in figure 3. Mark the positions shown as “Fixing points”

on the wall. If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure

the gas supply pipe is in its final position and can enter the

appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on

the wall.

Drill the wall as appropriate for the type of wall as previously

described in this section, and insert the chosen type of wall fix-

ings. Insert the wall fixing screws into the top wall plugs, tak-

ing care to leave the screws protruding approximately 5mm

from the wall.

Now hang the appliance onto these screws through the two

keyhole shaped holes in the upper brackets on the back panel of the appliance. Insert the lower fixing

screws into the lower wall plugs through the corresponding fixing holes in the lower part of the back panel.

Do not tighten fully. Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is recommended to

check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made

if necessary.

When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.

To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the round access holes in the front face of

the outlet grille (as shown in figure 5). These access holes are located in the same position on all models.

CHECKING THE BURNER

There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is

designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length.

The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter.

If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the

four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal.

7.0

The wall where the appliance is

to be installed must be capable

of long-term support of the total

load of the appliance. Measures

should also be taken to ensure

sufficient strength to withstand

the force of earthquakes, vibra-

tion and other external forces.

WARNING

Plasterboard alone is not consid-

ered to be a structural material.

It is not recommended to rely on

plasterboard fixings alone to

support the weight of the appli-

ance.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edition of BS

6891 (natural gas installations) or the current edition of BS 5482 pt1 (propane installations).

For Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to the current edition of IS813 (the relevant standards

governing installation).

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burner.

The control knob as accessed by lifting the hinged panel on the

right hand side of the appliance. It is of a spherical design and is

marked as shown in figure 6;

Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold

there for a few seconds. Continue turning anti-clockwise through

the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has

lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.

When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for

approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot

should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait

three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.

To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the

high position. The main burner should light after a few seconds. To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the

control knob clockwise to the low setting.

To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the

pilot position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and

release.

SPARK FAILURE

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3 - 5mm to produce a good spark. There

should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the piezo electric spark fails, the pilot cannot

be lit manually.

SETTING PRESSURE

The pressure test point is located on the left hand side of the appliance, on the main burner pipe, next to

the brass restrictor/connector. Release the setting pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge.

Light the fire on the HIGH setting.

To commission the appliance, the burner pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in the data

section of these instructions.

The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures and

any significant variation could indicate a supply prob-

lem. If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter

/regulator may be set incorrectly. This should be

checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by

the gas supplier.

If the burner pressure is too low, then check the inlet

pressure with the appliance running. If this is less

than than the figure stated in section 2.0 of these

instructions it will need to be reset by the gas suppli-

er. If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter

pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply

pipework is to be suspected.

This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting, shut off elbow not fully

open or solder flashing across a joint. Identify the cause of the restriction and rectify. Switch the fire off,

disconnect the pressure gauge and refit the test nipple screw. Light the fire and check for gas soundness.

In the event that the burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these

instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guid-

ance.

BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER

All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control

the fire. After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appli-

ance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out

at least once annually.

Advise that cleaning of the fire maybe achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild deter-

gent on most surfaces. Advise that the fire will emit a "newness" smell for a time after initial commission-

ing and that extra ventilation may be needed during this time. Recommend that a guard be used for the

protection of the young, pets, the elderly and the infirm.

SERVICING

Isolate the fire from the gas supply. Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A sug-

gested procedure for servicing is detailed below.

1. Lay out the dustsheet and tools.

2. Remove the decorative frame/facia assembly. Removal is described in section 8.4.

3. Remove the glass door assembly (4 screws) and clean carefully.

4. Inspect the burner and the catalyst and clean if necessary with a soft brush.

5. Disconnect the gas supply.

6. Detach the burner front cover plate by removal of the four retaining screws. Undo the four

screws retaining the burner support brackets to the base and rear of the firebox. Remove the

control knob and spindle assembly from the valve by removal of the spindle retaining clip.

7. Remove the burner unit, strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly.

8. Clean the in-line restrictor, pilot assembly and the burner tube. Do not attempt to remove the

pilot injector as this can cause damage.

9. Re-assemble components.

10. Turn on the gas supply and leak test. Check pilot and burner for good ignition.

11. Refit the glass door assembly, ensuring a good seal.

12. Refit the decorative frame/facia assembly as detailed in section 8.4.

13. Check the purpose provided ventilation is un-obstructed.

14. Light the fire and test setting pressures.

15. Check safe operation of the appliance.

For specific servicing instructions, see relevant sections.

SERVICING THE BURNER UNIT AND GAS ASSEMBLY

Firstly, remove the decorative frame assembly per the reverse of section 8.4, the glass panel, and discon-

nect the gas connection inside appliance. The gas connections to the gas valve can now be released. Detach

the burner front cover plate by removal of the four retaining screws. Undo the four screws retaining the

burner support brackets to the base and rear of the firebox. Remove the control knob and spindle assem-

bly from the valve by removal of the spindle retaining clip. The burner may now be removed.

Remove the pilot and main burner pipes and blow through to dislodge any debris. Now remove the restric-

tor elbow and blow through to make sure it is entirely clear.

Unclip the pilot lint gauze and clean with a soft brush. Clean the exterior of the pilot assembly with a soft

brush and blow through the flame ports on the pilot head. Check the aeration holes are free from lint or

dirt. The pilot assembly can be removed if required by disconnecting the electrode HT lead, gas pipe and

unscrewing the mounting screws and lifting away.

The pilot assembly is a non-serviceable item and should not be taken apart. Aeration holes must be

absolutely clear internally for proper operation. NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE

THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT. Modifications are dangerous and can have serious unseen effects on safety. If

the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply to it, or the thermocouple needs

replacement.

The gas valve is a non-serviceable item. If this needs replacement, remove M4 securing screw holding the

valve in place, remove all pipe unions, electrode lead, thermocouple lead and then the complete valve.

Replacement must be original manufacturers parts. Re-assemble in the reverse of removal. Ensure setting

pressures are as stated in Section 2; Appliance Data.

PILOT ASSEMBLY

Clean the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through. Check the aeration holes are free of any dirt

or lint. Clean thoroughly internally, the connection can be removed from the base of the pilot unit using

two spanners to make cleaning easier. Do not damage or try to dismantle the pilot injector.

The unit is factory set and the only check necessary is to ensure the spark gap is correct. See specifica-

tions for gas setting.

NEVER MODIFY OR BEND THE THERMOCOUPLE TO MAKE THE PILOT STAY ALIGHT. If the pilot will not

stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply, or the thermocouple needs replacement. Modifications

are dangerous and can have a serious unseen effect on safety and therefore MUST not be done.

Replacements must be original manufacturers parts. Re-assemble in the reverse of removal. Ensure setting

pressures are as stated in Section 2; Appliance Data.

CATALYST

It is recommended that the catalysts are inspected for signs of damage and dirt during routine servicing

procedures. The expected life of the catalysts is in excess of 11,000 hours (10 years of normal use). After

this time the catalysts should be replaced.

If there are any deposits of dirt or soot on the catalyst they should be cleaned with a soft brush and a vac-

uum cleaner. If removed for cleaning ensure the seals are in good condition before replacing the catalyst.

New seals will usually be required. The performance of the catalysts may be checked using a combustion

gas analyser as follows. Any analyser used should conform to EN 50379-3.

Ignite the fire as per the operating instructions, and run at maximum setting for 15 minutes. Position gas

sample probe directly over the catalysts via the outlet grille, on top of the appliance. Record the carbon

dioxide (CO2) concentration and then the carbon monoxide (CO) concentration as displayed by the analyser

- also noting the units in which the values are expressed. Most analysers display carbon dioxide (CO2) con-

centrations in percentage (%) terms and carbon monoxide concentration in parts per million (ppm) terms.

In order to calculate the combustion ratio for the appliance (CO/CO2) it is first necessary to express both

gas concentrations in terms of percentage. To convert from parts per million (ppm) to a percentage (%)

divide the ppm figure by 10,000. Examples : 35ppm = 0.0035%, 15ppm = 0.0015%, 5ppm = 0.0005%. Now

divide the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) expressed in percent by the concentration of carbon

dioxide (CO2) to obtain the appliance combustion ratio.

The combustion ratio of the gasses emitted by the catalytic convertor should not exceed 0.0015.

If replacing, firstly, remove the decorative frame/glass facia (as described in section 8.3) and outer casing.

The catalysts are located on the top of the internal firebox and can be removed by unscrewing the retain-

ing nuts securing the clamping plates. Remove the catalysts their seals and discard. Refit the new catalysts

and seals in reverse order, ensure the catalysts and the glass door have good seals.

TESTING FOR FIREBOX LEAKAGE

Appliances that are several years old or have been extensively dismantled should be checked for sound-

ness. It is important that all the products of combustion pass through the catalytic converter at the top of

the firebox before leaving the appliance. The firebox is heated by lighting for a few minutes to provide a

flow through the firebox. The burner is then shut off and a smoke pellet or match introduced at the base

of the fire underneath the burner tray. Large quantities of smoke will emerge from the top of the appli-

ance, but none should emerge from the joints or gasket faces, especially around the door.

It is important to note that the appliance can never be expected to be 100% smoke tight and small quan-

tities of smoke may be seen in corners of joints and gasket faces etc without affecting safety when the

fire is in operation.

CLEANING THE CERAMICS

The tiles are fragile and should not be removed unless necessary.

Remove the casing and the glass door assembly. Remove the ceramic tiles. Gently clean in the open air.

Be careful not to create dust from the tiles. Where necessary replace damaged components with genuine

spares. Seal scrap ceramic components in plastic bags and dispose at proper refuse sites as directed. If

using a vacuum cleaner, a HEPA filtering system is recommended. Re-fit the tiles.Refit the glass door assem-

bly ensuring a good seal. Refit the casing.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• The installation and Servicing of this fire MUST only be carried out by a competent person in accordance

with local Codes and/or Regulations, Building Regulations and the manufacturer's instructions.Failure to

comply with the above could lead to prosecution and invalidate the appliance warranty. In the event of gas

leakage from the appliance, the gas supply must be turned off at the nearest isolating valve. This appliance

is only suitable for the gas type for which it is supplied.

• Keep a note of the installer's name and address, the original purchase receipt and the date of installation.

Failure to produce this information may invalidate the warranty. The appliance should be serviced regular-

ly to ensure continued safe operation. See the servicing section for fur-

ther reference.

• The guard (glass front) is to prevent risk of fire or injury from

burns and no part of it should be permanently removed. It Does

Not Give Full Protection For Young Children Or The Infirm. Parts

of this appliance become naturally hot during use. It is recom-

mended that a suitable fireguard is used, especially where young

children, pets, the elderly or infirm are concerned. The manufac-

turer of this appliance considers all surfaces as working surfaces

with the exception of the control knob and control panel. •

Combustible items, such as flooring and furniture and soft wall cov-

erings (such as blown vinyl or embossed paper), low temperature

surrounds etc may discolour if fitted too close to the fire. See rel-

evant section for further details on clearances to combustibles. No

combustible materials or flooring should protrude onto the hearth

(if fitted).

• This appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (ODS).

• DO NOT burn any foreign material on this fire. Under no circumstances shall the appliance be used if the

glass front door or panel has been removed, damaged or is open. On no account should the appliance inlet

or outlet openings be blocked or obstructed in any way (see figure 1). DO NOT place objects on top of the

appliance.

• WARNING: Due to the nature of this product the area around the top of the appliance (i.e. the grille) gets

very hot. Care should be taken when operating the appliance.

The integral catalysts should be checked by the installer upon servicing to ensure there are no defects or

obstructions that may prevent the satisfactory flow of combustion products. The expected life of the cata-

lyst is in excess of 11,000 hours (10 years of normal use). After this time the catalyst should be replaced.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

Clearances to non-combustibles

Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-

made materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information

before proceeding with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4”). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm

(20”).

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind

the appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.

A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than

400mm (16”) from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 60mm (2.4”) of a solid floor (i.e. wood or stone) or

hearth. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES - continued

Clearances to combustible materials

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to

flame. Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate

heat, should be considered as a combustible material or surface. Clearance to the sides of the appliance

are 100mm (4”) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted within a distance of 500mm (20”)

of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appliance regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm (31.5”) measured from the top of the

appliance glass panel. Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance

within a distance of one metre. Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma/LCD

screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall

mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves

should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture

frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to

moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with their installation. The back of the appliance may be

installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does not interfere with the vari-

ous vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from

a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Brick, concrete, finished plaster, most types of conven-

tional wall paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock,

blown vinyl and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as

scorching and or discolouration may occur over time. If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall

or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appli-

ance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier is not dam-

aged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not damaged - refer to section 7.0 of the

installation section of these instructions. The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 100 mm

(4”) of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the

bottom of the appliance firebox.

VENTILATION AND ROOM SIZE

Purpose provided ventilation of 100cm2MUST be provided for this appliance. An openable window or

equivalent is also required. Any ventilation fitted must comply with local Codes and/or Regulations.

Ventilation fitted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adverse-

ly effect performance of the combustion monitoring system (ODS) system. The appliance shall not be

installed within one metre of any existing air vent, and any new air vent shall not be installed within one

metre of the appliance.

WARNING : Ventilation openings must never be blocked or restricted in any way.

The requirements of other appliances operating in the space or room must be taken into consideration

when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by your installer. A supply of fresh

air into the room is advisable to maintain temperatures within limits.

The room size should be a minimum of 40m3(e.g. 13’4” x 13’4” x 8’). This is to allow adequate circula-

tion of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but

these spaces must not be separated by a door. Note : To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3)

divide the room volume in cubic feet (ft3) by 35.3.

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next

to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impu-

rities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, candle smoke etc.) exist, may cause the walls to become dis-

coloured. This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room

without some form of background heating present. If the appliance is used in a room as the sole source of

heat, then condensation may occur on colder surfaces within the room. This appliance must not be used in

bathrooms and bedrooms.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

COMBUSTION MONITORING SYSTEM

This fire is fitted with a combustion monitoring safety device (ODS). If the appliance shuts down during use

for no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened cre-

ating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem and removal of the draught should resolve

this. The appliance can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section.

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appli-

ance OFF, call in your installer to check the appliance and ventilation. Remedial work must be carried out

as required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the appliance and installation is passed as safe.

If the pilot continues to be extinguished, you must call your installer to check the operation of the com-

plete appliance.
