INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Compatible wall thicknesses for the Installation Methods detailed in this Guide are as follows;
Note: These dimensions are between the surface of the marble/backpanel and the surface of the outside wall.
Internal
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam
may be present. The firebox must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface
at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base are of the box. This appliance is suitable for use
with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150ºC minimum rating. A suitable gas supply and
an electrical 3 Amp fixed fused spur are both required near the intended appliance site.
External
Please refer to the diagram on the following page for more details of the most suitable site for
the fan terminal. The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed in any way
allowing poor disposal of combustion products. A safety cage should be fitted in place over the
terminal to ensure compliance with Byelaws. Terminals located in passageways between two prop-
erties, public footpaths or which might discharge over the same may be subject to local byelaws
on items such as minimum distances for projection. In these circumstances it is the installers
responsibility to check that the location of the terminal does not infringe any byelaws. If in any
doubt about flue terminal location, especially with regards to garages and car ports then further
advice should be sought from CORGI or the manufacurer.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to combustible materials, such as plastic drainpipes
and fences. If these are impossible to avoid, then a suitable metal deflector must be used if the
flue gasses begin to heat the object. For minimum standard dimensions of clearance see below.
Covered areas such as under car ports should be avoided but if no alternative is available the fol-
lowing notes should be adhered to; The covered area should have at least two open sides (i.e. a
roof and ONE supporting wall). If more than one side is filled, then advice must be sought on the
location’s suitability. Any openings into dwellings such as doors, windows and air vents under the
covered area must be at least 1200mm away from the terminal position. If the roof is construct-
ed from plastic material, great care must be taken with the installation as there is no simple
method of protecting this type of roof from heat build up.
TERMINAL LOCATION
Minimum location distances
A - 300mm above ground level/roof or balcony level.
B - 200mm below balconies or car ports.
C - 1500mm vertically between terminals.
D - 300mm horizontally between terminals on same wall.
E - 75mm below gutters, soil pipes or drain pipes.
F - 200mm below eaves.
G - 300mm from internal or external corners
H - 150mm from vertical drain pipes.
J - 300mm directly below an openable window or other
opening e.g. air vent .
K - 1200mm from an opening into the building under a car port.
L - 600mm from a surface facing the terminal.
M - 1200mm from another terminal facing the terminal.
Care should also be taken with the terminal location relative to nearby plants, grass, or trees as
the gases expelled may be hot enough to damage them. At least 1000mm clearance is recom-
mended.
Note: Dimensions relate specifically to the exhaust outlet at the base of fan terminal box.

SITE REQUIREMENTS
For aesthetic purposes it is essential that the hearth and infill plinth area are flat and level. The
hearth and infill must also be square to the back panel. Failure to comply with this could cause
the appliance to lean away from the fireplace resulting in an unsatisfactory installation.
The electrical earth to the property and all wiring must be carried out in accordance with IEE
Wiring Regulations (including any Local Regulations). If you are unsure about this aspect, then
professional advice should be sought. This appliance is suitable for use with a 230V~50Hz (ac)
single phase (normal domestic) electrical supply. Connection to the mains supply should be made
with the three core cable (green/yellow -earth, blue - neutral, brown - live) to a fixed fused spur
with double pole insulation (minimum 3mm separation of poles) and fused at 3 amp. Take care
not to pull or damage the internal wiring to the the fan unit at any time during installation. Should
the mains cable become damaged at any stage, it should only be replaced with the manufactur-
ers supplied cable (part no. EL006225/0). Failure to use a genuine spare could cause a hazard.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
If a concealed gas supply is to be used, the supply pipe must be sleeved through walls and floors.
If the fire is to be inset into the cavity leaf, only factory sleeved pipe should be used. For further
details see relevant section. A separate isolation device must be incorporated into the incoming
gas supply to facilitate servicing. No more than 1.5 metres of 8mm pipe should be used in the
connection of the gas supply to the appliance, as more could result in an unacceptable drop in
pressure.
This appliance must only be installed onto a non-combustible wall or surface. The fire requires a
hearth with a non-combustible surface at least 12mm thick. The top surface of the hearth must
be at least 50mm above floor level, or be surrounded by a raised edge or fixed fender of at least
50mm high. The non-combustible hearth must extend a minimum of 300mm in front of, and
150mm either side of the live part of the appliance. The hearth must therefore be a minimum of
680mm wide.
The appliance must be installed by one of the following methods;
1 - Fitment against an existing inner house wall with a suitably constructed fireplace
and/or false chimney breast to enclose the depth of the fire.
2 - Insertion into a purpose made opening in the inner leaf of a cavity wall or disused fire
place opening with the use of a suitable fireplace surround etc. Note: The appliance must
not bridge the cavity - any overhang being kept to a minimum, and the Installation
instructions must be adhered to. Building Control requirements may vary in some
areas, enquiries should be made accordingly.
3 - Installation into a timber framed dwelling using the clearances to combustible materi-
als shown in the relevant section. Building Control requirements vary in some areas,
enquiries should be made accordingly.
An unprotected combustible shelf may be fitted above the appliance, provided it complies with
the minimum dimensions stated below. Protective materials can be used to deflect heat from
shelves that are too low.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe.
Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the
frame of the firebox providing it projects no further forward than 100mm (4in). As with all heat-
ing appliances, decorations, soft furnishings and wall coverings (such as blown vinyl, flock and
embossed paper) may discolour or scorch if positioned too close to the fire. If the appliance is fit-
ted to a dry-lined wall, the gap between the plasterboard and blocks must be sealed with non-
combustible material and any unplastered board replaced with superlux or other non-combustible
material if in direct contact with the appliance.

VENTILATION
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required with this appliance. However, the ventilation
requirements of other gas appliances in the same room or space should be taken into consider-
ation. A spillage test should be carried out as described in the relevant section with the doors and
windows both open and closed, and with any extractor fan running on full. Where fitted, ventila-
tion must comply with the requirements of BS 5440 part 2. Vents directly underneath or within
the immediate vicinity of appliances must not be used as they may adversely affect ODS pilot
operation.
Note: For Republic of Ireland see IS813, ICP3 and IS327 and any other rules in force.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
Remove the fire tray from the firebox by removing the two securing screws in the front legs of
the tray and rear mounted transit screws, and invert
the tray. Carefully unplug the safety solenoid on the
tray from the control box by squeezing the clip on
the three way connector and easing apart. Place the
tray safely to one side along with the fuel bed com-
ponents, firefront and decorative frame.
The three radiant panels may now be fitted inside
the firebox. Select the plain or patterned side of the
panels and insert as follows; Lay the firebox on it’s
back. Lay the tapered panel onto the rear face of the
firebox. The side panels should be fitted by insert-
ing their front edges into the pre-fitted retaining
brackets on the front face of the firebox. Gently
align the side panels with the sides of the firebox, over the back panel
already in place. Make sure that the side panels are pushed up firmly
to the roof of the firebox, and back firmly to retain the rear panel. Make
small adjustments to line up the mortar lines if required. Clamp the side
panel using the ‘L’ shaped brackets and screws provided. The screws
should locate into the holes in the sides of the firebox.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION (continued)
Apply the self adhesive sealing strip to the rear perimeter of the firebox frame so as not to be vis-
ible. This will eventually seal the firebox to the fireplace back panel. Place the fire to one side
whilst the site is prepared for flue installation. Mark the vertical centreline of the desired location
of the appliance after first checking for clearances to pipes and cables in the wall, and also the
terminal position outside.
Note: The vertical centreline of the pilot hole
will either be 475 (Eko 3021 models) or 500mm
(Eko 3031 models) from the floor PLUS the
thickness of the hearth you are using. This
dimension is obviously FROM the hearth top
surface if it is already fitted
Mark the position of the 30mm cable hole in rela-
tion to the flue centreline. Using a suitably long
masonry bit, drill through both leaves of the cavi-
ty wall. Check outside that the clearances from the
hole are adequate for installation to proceed.
Check all dimensions with the diagram in the rel-
evant section. Now drill the 30mm cable hole in
the wall.
OUTER WALL APERTURE
From the outside of the property, open up the
pilot hole in the external leaf of the cavity to the
required size.
If the fan terminal is to mounted directly onto the out-
side wall, the hole should be opened up to a 125mm
diameter aperture centred around the pilot hole.
If the fan terminal is to be recessed into the outer leaf,
the hole should be opened up to the dimensions given
in the diagram.
Clear all the brick rubble and debris that may have fall-
en into the cavity. If the cavity wall insulation is
obstructing your view of the inner leaf then clear this
back.
GAS SUPPLY ROUTES
The gas supply may enter the appliance across the hearth or through the ‘knock outs’ provided
in the rear of the firebox. Gas pipes should not be buried or routed through walls without being
protected by conduit or sleeving. An isolation tap must be included in the gas connection pipe to
facilitate servicing.
Note: Any fittings used underneath the
appliance must be rated to 80oC and must
not come into contact with the underside
of the burner unit
For INSTALLATION METHOD 1, the gas supply
can be run in the conventional manner taking
due account of rules and regulations.
For INSTALLATION METHOD 2, use only facto-
ry sleeved pipe in a continuous unjoined
length in the cavity of the wall and area which
communicate with the cavity. Ensure a good
seal where the pipe enters through the appli-
ance grommet. This is a permitted gas supply
routing.

INSTALLATION METHOD 1
This method requires minimal modification to the property’s wall and is achieved utilising
either an extended firesurround or by constructing a shallow false chimney breast of a min-
imum 180mm deep. See diagram for further dimensions.
Centering on the pilot hole already drilled, create a hole from inside the property 125mm diame-
ter. If the property has loose fill cavity wall insulation fitted, it will be necessary to seal the wall
cavity where the flue opening is formed to prevent insulation material coming into contact with
hot surfaces of the fire and it’s components. The recommended method is to pack a depth of 50-
100mm of Rockwool or a similar non-combustible insulation material into the cavity .
Where the property does not have existing cavity wall insulation, it is still recommended that a
space 50-100mm into the cavity is packed with Rockwool or similar material, to prevent any future
installation of cavity wall insulation from coming into contact with hot areas of the appliance.
At this point the false chimney breast or fire surround should be installed.
Note: When constructing the stud partition, all uninsulated, combustible material must be
kept a minimum of 75mm away from the fireplace. Combustible materials closer than 75mm
MUST be protected with a minimum of 25mm insulation material.

INSTALLATION METHOD 2
This method allows for installation of the appliance with the rear part of it's firebox recessed
into the inner leaf of the cavity wall. This will enable a standard fireplace to be flush fitted to
the wall and the appliance will then be fitted flush into the fireplace. The structural integrity of
the wall must be maintained.
Check on the type of cavity insulation used, and if it is of the granular type then take suitable
precautions when opening up the wall not to allow excessive loss of insulation material from
the cavity. Packing the cavity with Rockwool should help hold back loose fill insulation material.
Unless lime and mortar has been used, it will be necessary to drill four holes with a masonry,
drill, and then use a mechanical cutter (Sharksaw) to cut out the correct size of 'slot' required
for the chosen lintel.
NOTE: Obtain a lintel 750mm long x 75mm deep x thickness of the inner leaf. We would sug-
gest either a pre-cast concrete or steel lintel; Catnic CN52 or CN46 depending on thickness.
Typical inner leaf weights when sizing a lintel over a 450mm wide opening are 90kg for 100mm
blockwork and 120kg for 125mm blockwork.
Plan to minimise disruption to occupants and protect any other parts of the building against
dust infiltration. Areas that are opened up will need to be protected against rain or snow during
the work and if there is a risk of frost, replacement brickwork will require protection until mor-
tars have hardened.
Set out where possible centrally beneath a block join
as shown. Use a drill for guide holes, and a 'shark
saw' or angle grinder to form an opening to suit the
lintel.
The lintel should be inserted and securely slate
pinned, leaving the wall above safe and firm.
Note: Always bed on mortar, DO NOT dry bed.
Remove all masonry from below the lintel, and
clear debris from the cavity.
The top of the exposed cavity must be sealed with
Superlux board or a similar non-combustible materi-
al. The board should be fixed at an angle, lower at
the back, so as to direct any moisture coming down
to the outside wall. This board should be fixed with
screws, Unibond, or a similar adhesive. It is impor-
tant to fit this board or a cavity tray to protect the
property and the appliance from drips of water. The
sides of the opening where the cavity is exposed
should be packed with Rockwool or similar non-
combustible material to a minimum depth of 50mm.
The Rockwool packing must extend from the base of the opening to the Superlux board.
The non-combustible hearth should now be formed or secured in place.

INSTALLATION METHOD 2 (continued)
It is essential the Rockwool pad be fitted to the rear of the appliance to prevent condensation
and to insulate the appliance firebox from the cold air of the cavity.
Note: Neither the appliance nor the Rockwool insulating pad should bridge the cavity.
Consult your local Building Control Department for any additional construction require-
ments or further advice.
INSTALLATION METHOD 3
Installation into timber framed dwellings
Where removal of any part of the inner timber leaf of the wall is involved, the structural integrity
of the wall must be maintained and the advice of your local Building Control Department should
be sought. If the property is under any N.H.B.C. cover, it is advised that their advice on this mod-
ification should also be sought.
Either of the two preceding methods of installation may be adapted for use in timber framed
buildings, providing extra care is taken to prevent combustible materials from contact with hot
surfaces.The appliance must be installed in accordance with British Gas documents DM2 and DM3
or the Institute of Gas Engineers published procedure IGE/UP/7.
Special attention must be paid to the location of the studwork frames of the inner leaf and the
appliance positioned accordingly. Wires and pipes that run within the inner timber leaf must also
be located and taken into account when positioning the appliance.

INSTALLATION METHOD 3 (continued)
Installation using rebated fire surround or false chimney breast.
When using this method of installation the
following amendments should be incorpo-
rated 25mm clearance must be allowed
from the appliance firebox to any insulat-
ed combustibles. 75mm clearance must
be allowed to any unprotected com-
bustibles. 50mm minimum thickness of
insulation should be provided around flue
pipe and gather hood. Where the flue pipe
passes through the inner leaf, a hole
100mm larger than the flue should be cut
to allow 50mm air gap around the entire
flue circumference.
The vapour barrier on the back of the
inner leaf should be cut and carefully
fixed to prevent any ingress of damp into
the plasterboard layer. A layer of insula-
tion will need to be provided to insulate
the surface of the inner wall from the heat
effect of the flue. It may be advantageous to use a sheet of Superlux board for this purpose.
Installation by setting the appliance into the inner leaf of wall.
When setting the appliance into the inner wall find a suitable position between the wall panel
frames and carefully open up a hole to the dimensions given in the relevant section, paying care-
ful attention to securing the damp proof membrane back into position. A drip collar of galvanised
or stainless steel should be formed with the twisted joint on the underside of the flue to disperse
drips.
An air gap of 75mm between all hot surfaces and the surrounding wall should be allowed, if pro-
tective insulation is used this may be reduced to 25mm clearance. The exposed cavity should be
sealed off using Superlux or a similar non-combustible board, see below.
Note: Neither the appliance nor the Rockwool insulation should overhang the cavity space.

FLUE PREPARATION
When all the preparation work has been completed for whichever method of installation has been
chosen, and with the fire surround fitted, take the appliance and slide the round flue section over
the spigot on the rear of the fire. Protect any decorative hearth with a dust sheet or similar, place
the appliance in position with the flue section protruding through the wall(s) to the outside. Make
sure the firebox is fully pushed home before marking two fixing holes in the base of the firebox.
Outside the property, mark a line on the flue tube level with the outer surface of the wall, where
it protrudes through.
Remove the firebox from the location and slide off the flue section. If the fan terminal is to mount-
ed directly on the the outside wall, cut the flue tube to length along the marked line. If the ter-
minal is to be recessed into the outer wall, a second line should be marked 85mm back
towards the appliance. The flue tube should then carefully be cut to length along the relevant
line. Do not remove the ceramic insulation. File off any rough edges and slide back on to the appli-
ance spigot ensuring the ‘O’ ring remains seated in its channel. Slide the Rockwool jacket into
place over the flue section, this may be secured with aluminium tape. With a suitable drill bit,
make the two previously marked holes in the base of the firebox, drilling down through into the
non-combustible hearth. Fit two rawl plugs into the holes.
FIREBOX AND BURNER TRAY
The mains electrical supply cable exits from the rear of the appliance and the FIXED FUSED SPUR
(fused at 3 Amp) should be arranged to allow easy connection.
Stand the appliance in front of the opening and feed the fan wiring harness through the hole
drilled in the wall. You may find this easier if a short length of plastic conduit is first fitted to the
hole. The cable must run outside of the insulating jacket, and be arranged so that is does not
touch any hot surfaces. Feed the mains cable through to the location of the fixed fused spur.
Depending on the location of the 8mm gas supply, feed through the back of the firebox and fit
the grommet seal (if applicable). Now carefully slide the appliance back into position and secure
into place using the two previously drilled holes. Ensure the flue unit has passed correctly through
the wall.
Note: If using an over hearth gas supply, the route of the pipe should be located through the
purpose provided cutouts (if applicable) on the decorative firefront supplied with the appli-
ance.
Place the burner tray near to the firebox and connect the three-way plug from the control box to
the safety solenoid mounted on the burner. Connect the gas supply to the entry point on the gas
valve. Secure the burner tray into position with the two screws though the burner legs.
FITTING THE FAN TERMINAL
The external fan terminal can now be fitted. This comprises three parts, the wall fan box section,
the cover and the trim frame (only used for recessed mounting). At this point, the trim must be
fitted to the fan box unit if the terminal is to be recessed into the wall. Remove the four self tap-
ping screws from the sides of the fan box, and slide the trim frame over the box with the fixing
flanges facing into the wall. Secure with the four screws and proceed to fit the terminal as
described below.
Offer up the fan unit and feed the connecting cable through the entry hole in the wall plate. It may
be advantageous to remove the rubber grommet in the entry hole to aid insertion of the wires and
refit afterwards. Run the connectors through the entry hole, then feed them through the grommet,
before finally refitting the grommet to the entry hole.
Note: The grommet MUST be refitted in order to prevent damage to the fan wiring harness.
Installing the fan terminal by surface mounting on the outside wall
Slide the fan unit on to the previously installed flue pipe. Mark the four fixing screw positions on
the wall, and drill the 5mm securing holes into the brickwork. Affix the fan terminal to the wall
with the rawl plugs and screws provided. A bead of silicone weather sealant, or similar suitable
sealant should be applied along the top edge, and down the two sides of the terminal where it
meets the wall, to prevent the ingress of water. Any excess sealant should be wiped away.

FITTING THE FAN TERMINAL (continued)
Fitting the fan terminal by recessing into the outer wall
If already fitted, remove the four long M4 screws from the top and bottom of the fan terminal. Fit
the terminal into the wall opening previously prepared, ensuring the flue tube seats correctly over
the terminal spigot. When correctly fitted, insert the four screws into the threaded inserts fitted
to the inside of the top and bottom of the terminal. Using a suitable screwdriver, continue to wind
in the four screws from the inside of the box until the fan terminal is held securely in the open-
ing. Alternatively, four holes may be marked in the sides of the fan terminal, and these drilled
through into the brick work. The terminal can then be secured with wall plugs and screws. Apply
a bead of silicone weather sealant, or similar suitable sealant around the top and side edges of
the frame to provide a good seal to the wall, eliminating water ingress.
Note: The recessed fan terminal MUST NOT be cemented into place within the outer wall. The
louvres in the sides of the fan terminal MUST be allowed to vent to the cavity to aid cooling
of components within.
With the terminal fixed into position the wires may now be connected. Attach the green earth wire
to the screw securing the fan earth wire. Fit the two three way connector to the relevant connec-
tors from the fan unit and pressure switch. Check that none of the wires can come into contact
with hot surfaces or moving parts of the fan. Use the cable tie supplied to secure the wires to the
terminal. With all the cables properly connected, fit the terminal cover ensuring the fan outlet is
clear, and secure with the four screws provided. Offer the wire terminal guard cage into position,
mark and drill the relevant mounting holes, and secure into place using rawl plugs and screws.
The terminal guard should be fitted at all times to comply with any byelaws in force.

GAS CONNECTION
Refit the burner tray into the firebox, fit the two screws through the locating holes in the tray legs,
and tighten.
Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris BEFORE connection. Now discon-
nect the inlet restrictor elbow from the inlet pipe. Connect the previously installed gas supply to
inlet restrictor elbow, and re-fit the restrictor elbow to the inlet pipe of the appliance.
If the data/control plate is not already fitted, attach with two screws, ensuring the control knob
is free to be depressed fully.
FUEL BED LAYOUT - Eko 3021 MODELS
This fire is supplied with 11 ceramic coals. The coals
may vary slightly in size, shape, in order to allow a
realistic layout.
Firstly, remove the ceramic components from their pro-
tective packaging, and place the brick panel against the
rear of the firebox
Place the ceramic combustion matrix onto the burner.
Place the front row of five coals on to the matrix. Ensure
the coals are firmly against the side cheeks as shown in
the photograph. If necessary, pull the coals forward
slightly to ensure their rear edges do not overhang the
flame ports. The edges of the coals MUST NOT be
allowed to enter the flame ports.
Place the middle row of four coals onto the supports in
the matrix, over the top of the holes. Ensure the coals
are not turned sideways, such that they actually enter
the holes.
Finally, place the rear row of two coals.
Note: The coals must not be crammed together, or
inserted into the holes in the matrix. A well laid out,
generously spaced coal layout will give the best
results. The coals may be rotated slightly within their
positions to give a good visual effect. Pay special atten-
tion to finally adjust the coals with the fire lit on the HIGH setting in order to ensure that no flames
play onto the firebox sides. This will reduce the possiblity of heat discolouration.
The fire is designed to operate correctly with the coals supplied when assembled according
to the instructions. Never add to the eleven coals, or change them for a different type. Never
throw rubbish or other matter onto the fuelbed.

Coal Effect Option
1. Remove the combustion matrix from its pro-
tective packaging, and position onto the burn-
er tray as shown. The front edge of the matrix
should sit snugly behind the back edge of the
burner rails. Do not fit the matrix on top of the
burner rails.
2. Next, remove the front coal strip from its
protective packaging and position as shown.
The rear edge of the front coal strip should fit
in front of the burner rail. Again, do not to
place on top of the burner rails. When the front
coal is in position bend up the three metal tags
at the front of the tray to retain (inset).
3. Open the bag of 16
moulded coals. All of the coals are the same.
Take five coals and place them as shown. Care
should be taken to ensure that the coals bridge
the gap between the front coal and the four
coal supports at the front of the matrix. Care
should also be taken not to push the coals
right down between the coal supports, as this
can detract from the flame picture when the
appliance is running.
4. Take five more moulded coals and position
as shown to form the ‘second row’ of the fuel
effect. The coals may be rotated as desired to
fit into the gaps between the coal supports in
order to create a random, realistic effect.
Again, remember not to push the coals down
too far into the valleys between the coal sup-
ports as this can have a detrimental effect to
the flame picture.

5. Now take another four coals and place
behind the second row of coals, in order to
complete the third row. The coals may be ori-
entated as desired to achieve a realistic effect.
Keep the spacing between the coals even and
uniform. The two coals at the ends of the row
may be placed rearwards, towards the back
corners of the fuel matrix.
6. Finally, take the two remaining coals and
place at the back of the fuel matrix, in the cen-
tre as shown. Adding these coals should com-
plete the appearance of the fuel bed giving an
even distribution of equally spaced coals.
The fire is designed to operate correctly with
the coals supplied when assembled according
to the instructions. Never add to the sixteen
coals, or change them for a different type.
Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the
coal bed.

Pebble Effect Option
1. Refer back to section 9.1 - Fuel bed layout
(coal effect option) and follow steps 1 and 2.
The front strip and fuel effect matrix used for
pebble effect versions are of the same design
as coal effect versions, but have a different sur-
face finish.
2. Open the bag of 16 ceramic pebbles. All of
these pebbles are the same. Take five pebbles
and place them as shown. Care should be
taken to ensure that the pebbles bridge the
gap between the front strip and the four sup-
ports at the front of the matrix. Care should
also be taken not to push the pebbles right
down between the supports, as this can affect
the flame picture when the appliance is run-
ning.

3. Take five more ceramic pebbles and position
as shown to form the ‘second row’ of the fuel
effect. The pebbles may be rotated as desired
to fit into the gaps between the supports in
order to create a random, realistic effect.
Again, remember not to push the pebbles
down too far into the valleys between the sup-
ports as this can have a detrimental effect to
the flame picture.
4. Now take another two pebbles and place
behind the second row of coals, next to each
other in the centre of the fuel bed. The pebbles
may be orientated as desired to achieve a real-
istic effect. Keep the spacing between the peb-
bles even and uniform.
5. Finally, take the four remaining large peb-
bles and place at the back of the fuel matrix as
shown.
Once again, the pebbles may be orientated as
desired in order to give a realistic effect. Avoid
pushing the pebbles down between the sup-
ports. The fuel bed layout is now complete.
The fire is designed to operate correctly
with the pebbles supplied when assembled
according to the instructions. Never add to
the sixteen pebbles, or change them for a
different type. Never throw rubbish or other
matter onto the fuel bed. Due to the light
colour of the pebbles, some discolouration/sooting is to be expected during normal use.
FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME AND FRONT
The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame in a variety
of finishes. The frame is held onto the firebox by one of two
methods; either by magnetic pieces fitted to the steel back-
ing plates, or as a three piece clip-on assembly. If not pre-fit-
ted, the clip-on frame pieces should be hooked over the outer
edges of the fireframe, and pushed firmly home. The sides
should be fixed first, followed by the top bar, which overlaps
the sides. Push firmly home. A plastic protective film may be
applied to the outside of the frame and should be removed
at this stage.
IMPORTANT : Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care
should be taken when handling the three-piece frame
components. The use of protective gloves is recommend-
ed.
Place the decorative firefront in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. The fire-
front shown in these instructions may be different to the one supplied with the appliance.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edi-
tion of BS6891.
WARNING : DO NOT USE AEROSOL TYPE LEAK DETECTOR AS THIS CAN DAMAGE THE ELEC-
TRONICS.
When the appliance is first used, protective oils coating the firebox may burn off. It is advisable
to ventilate the room during this period, at least one hour.
OPERATING THE FIRE
Turn on the power supply and momentarily press the ON switch
on the control box located to the right of the control knob. The
fan should operate with the warning light illuminated. Almost
immediately the fan will slow down to operating speed and a
click may be heard as the safety solenoid opens allowing gas to
the burner unit. The warning light on the control box should
extinguish.
The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the fuel bed.
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 not, retry ignition. If the pilot is extin-
guished during use of the fire, 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. Press the OFF
button on the control box to switch off the fan.
SPARK FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good
spark. There should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails,
the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described,
and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob should be held in and the
pilot lit with a taper.
SETTING PRESSURE
Remove the screw from the pressure test point, situated on the main injector pipe by the pilot,
and attach a U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting. The setting pressure should be in accor-
dance with the figures stated on page 2 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve
these pressures, and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If the pressure is
too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire run-
ning and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.
If the pressure is too low, then check the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If
this is incorrect it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. 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 or solder flashing
across a joint.
Note: you will not get an accurate reading of the inlet pressure with a pressure gauge on the
end of the supply pipe - this is the static pressure in the system. You must use a T piece and
measure the supply pressure with the fire on High - the dynamic pressure.

SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no
apparent reason then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened cre-
ating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve
this. If a grommet seal has been left out of the firebox then this also will also cause intermittent
shutdown (recall your installer to fit). The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked
(again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The thermocouple connection into
the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the
installer to tighten.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the
appliance OFF, check the flue for obstruction or leakage. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage
test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test. The aeration hole
of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of
the ODS. The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation
by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appli-
ance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the
Troubleshooting section as a guide.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for
five minutes. Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge
of the fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run the smoke
match across the opening. All the smoke should be drawn into the upper firebox. Any smoke
returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring. If the initial test fails, run the fire for
a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat
with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating
doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.
NOTE: If spillage is still indicated after undertaking all of the above, there may be a prob-
lem with the flue and/or fan box setup, or insufficient ventilation is present.
If the problem cannot be rectified immediately, then expert advice should be sought. Inform the
user, disconnect the fire, and attach an explanatory label.
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
appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST
be carried out at least once annually.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be cov-
ered with matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint
only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamina-
tion with overspray. Ventilate the room during the use of the spray.
DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or ceramics, or wash them in water.
