The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977-1:2002 and the result is 81%. The gross calorific
value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The test data from which it has been calculated has been certified
by GL Industrial Services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure
(SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be present. The fire has been
designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 or BS EN 1858 (and meeting certain dimensional require-
ments), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. The flue box must be installed onto a suit-
able non-combustible insulating surface at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.
A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney must be
swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure
proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary before the appliance is installed. The
flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue. Any flue damper
plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal is not practical, the restric-
tion must be fixed in the fully open position. The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent
more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that
the appliance is installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class GC1,
as regulations allow.
This appliance has been tested for use in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289 or BS EN 1858. In accordance with BS
1289 part 1, pre-cast flues built with directly plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as to ensure proper oper-
ation with any type of gas fire. In some instances of this flue construction, temperature cracking of the surface plaster may
occur through no fault of the appliance. An air gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal
flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of
joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals.
This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm.
This appliance MUST be installed into a non combustible back panel capable of withstanding 150oC.
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in situ,
providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See figure 1. The open-
ing WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 400mm and 440mm wide, and 550mm to 575mm high.
Opening DEPTH should be 145mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused or previously only
used with a gas fire. DEPTH should be 185mm or greater for a flue which has previously been used for a solid fuel or oil burn-
ing appliance. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation. Any existing under grate
draught device must be sealed off. WARNING This fire is designed to get very hot! The fireplace opening wall or back panel
must be non-combustible and rated to withstand 150oC.

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances oper-
ating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.
If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance, then amongst other problems there may be insufficient nat-
ural ventilation for correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does not spill with the windows open, but spillage is
detected with the windows closed, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation. If spillage is still detected with the
windows open, the flue is at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation. Any ventilation
fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity (1 metre)
of the appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS may occur.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance that cannot be corrected by
any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary
flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given
in figure 2 are complied with.
Constructional Note: The frame of the fire, any back
panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be
sealed together so that there is no possibility of leakage
between them. Adequate clearances to combustible mate-
rials (e.g. false chimney breast construction) must be
maintained.The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting
the prefabricated box shall be complied with at all
times. To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit, some minor
adaption may be necessary for certain flue boxes. A check
should be made to ensure the firebox does not obscure
the flue box outlet. The firebox, base of the flue box, and
hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws to
secure installation. It is important that the sealing require-
ments of the appliance are met at all times and that the
flue box is well sealed to any back or infill panel. Note:
The DEPTH dimension is inclusive of any back or infill
panel.
Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read all the instructions before
continuing to unpack or install this appliance.
Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the cardboard pack-
ing pieces, and any other bags or boxes containing fittings or other parts. When all loose parts have been removed, the
outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appliance. Check that the components supplied correlate with the compo-
nent checklist given in section 7.1. Please dispose of all the packaging materials at your local recycling centre.

The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications
laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the appliance
from it’s carton as described previously and stand upon a dust sheet or similar.
Place the decorative frame, coals, ceramics and fixings safely to one side. Remove
the glass panel assembly by removing the retaining screws. Remove the burner from
the assembly by removing the retaining screws (slide control models only - discon-
nect the slide mechanism by removing one M4 nut from the assembly). The tray is
now free, and may be lifted away.
Spigot restrictor : The appliance is supplied with an optional spigot restrictor.
The spigot restrictor may be fitted when the fire is to be installed in a good class 1
flue, a conventional brick chimney, or a 175mm (7”) circular flue. The spigot restric-
tor is not recommended for pre-cast and 125mm (5”) circular flues as it may cause
spillage. If required, fit the spigot restrictor using three No8 x 5/16 Self tapping
screws (supplied loose) as shown in figure 3.
If spillage is detected during the commissioning of the appliance, the spigot restrictor should be
removed immediately.
Slide controls models : The control knob is supplied as a loose part. Insert the control knob
into the hole in the top of the slide control spindle (Figure 4). Secure the control knob in posi-
tion using the M4 nyloc nut provided. Affix the Slide control position marking sticker on the
trim next to the control knob as shown if figure 16.
Supply pipe entry : Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use
where concealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with a
sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can now be
made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleeving. Do not install
or use the appliance without the seal in place. If a hole is inadvertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit
the seal correctly will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, resulting in poor performance and intermittent
cutting out of the burner. Some possible pipe routes are shown in figure 6.
The appliance is supplied with a high temperature rope sealing strip factory
fitted to the firebox.
Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke
pellet. All of the smoke should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from
the terminal. If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective
action is completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the convector box in and out of
the opening. Part of the packaging is an ideal hearth saver pad.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the convector box
to the fireplace to check the fit is good. Ensure that it slides in correctly, the
sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base
is firm in the floor of the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this
stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not obstruct-
ed in any way. Remove the convector box and take any necessary measure-
ments before making good and preparing for final installation.
Cable fixing : Drill four holes as shown in figure 5 and fit the wall plugs. If
the fireplace does not allow for the exact layout shown, the eyebolts should
be fixed to give a similar configuration as possible. To complete the cable
fixing of the convector box, refer to section 8.3.
Fixing by screw : Mark and drill the fireframe or base, and relevant points in the opening or on the wall. Additional screws
will be required for this method of fixing.
When the opening is ready for installation of the
fire, the gas supply can be routed. Some possi-
ble supply pipe routes are shown in figure 6.
Select the supply route most relevant to the entry
point of the gas supply into the fireplace open-
ing. The gas pipe must be suitably protected
where it passes through fireplace openings. Any
sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends.
The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress of dust and dirt during installation.

Thread both tensioning cables through the holes at
the top of the firebox, both eyelets, and back through
the lower holes in the firebox in the positions indicat-
ed in figure 7.
Push the appliance back into the fireplace, centralise
and pull the loose cables through the holes into the
firebox. Thread the cable tensioners onto the cables as
shown, with the nuts screwed down close to the ten-
sioner head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable,
pull cable taut and tighten nipple. Adjust tensioner
using suitable spanners to pull the appliance back into
position, to allow an even seal around the fireplace
opening. See figure 8.
Visually inspect the seal and reseat if necessary.
Surplus tension cable MUST NOT be cut off as this will
prevent proper installation after servicing. Coil up the
surplus cable as shown in figure 9.
Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can
be achieved. Place the burner tray into the firebox making sure that
the rear lugs locate properly on to the ledge in the firebox.
Manual control models : Fit the two securing screws through the
tray legs to secure the assembly.
Slide control models : Fit the four securing screws - two through
the tray rear first and then two through the legs of the tray to
secure the assembly - see figure 10. Reconnect the slide mechanism
by replacing the M4 nut and serrated washer on the assembly.
All models : Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connec-
tions. Fit the deflector baffle to the two locations on the front face
of the firetray as shown in figure 11. Screws are provided for this
purpose. The baffle should be level with the lower edge of the tray.
Place contemporary firefront in front of the fire temporarily to check
the angle of the baffle. The front should fit well and the control
devices beneath should not be visible to the eye. Realign the baffle
slightly if necessary to achieve the correct fit.
Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris
BEFORE connection. Now disconnect 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.
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of BS6891.
When the appliance is first used, protective oils coating the firebox may burn off. It is advisable to ventilate the room dur-
ing this period for at least one hour.
The spark gap between the spark electrode and the thermocouple should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There
should be no need to adjust this.
Manual control models : 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.
Slide control models : If the electric spark fails, replace the battery. Refer to section 10.0 of the user instructions.
For fuel bed layout instructions, refer to section 9.0 of the user instructions.

Refit the glass panel ensuring that the unsupported edge of
the glass is facing downwards. Take care not to damage the
ceramic fuel bed when fitting. Secure using four M6 screws
previously removed. Now fit the hood. This is provided sepa-
rately. Remove all protective packaging materials. Carefully
attach using two No8 x 5/16 self tapping screws (also pro-
vided within loose parts) in the positions shown in figure 12.
Do not overtighten. Now fit the decorative front coal piece.
This is intended to sit flush in front of the glass panel in
order to complete the realistic coal fuel effect.
Attach the strip using two M4 screws in the positions shown
in figure 13. Take care not to damage the ceramic part of the
component.
The appliance is supplied either with a one piece or three
piece decorative frame.
For one piece frames : The appliance is supplied with a one
piece decorative frame that is attached to the front of the fire-
box with the magnets provided. Place the decorative fire-
front in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into
place. The firefront shown in these instructions may be dif-
ferent to the one supplied with the appliance.
For three piece frames : The side pieces of the clip on
assembly should be pushed into position first, followed by
the top bar (shown in figure 14), which should overlap the
sides.
Important Note : Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care
should be taken when handling the three piece frame com-
ponents. The use of protective gloves is recommended.
Place the firefront into position in front of the fire and slide
the ashpan door into place. Do not use any other firefront
other than the one supplied with this appliance. The firefront shown in these instructions may differ from the one sup-
plied with the appliance.
The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side
of the fuel bed. The fire features a ‘twin spark’ ignition system to aid lighting, Push
the control knob in fully and turn anti-clockwise through both of the SPARK positions,
keeping fully depressed, hold there for a few seconds. If the fire has not been used for
some time, hold the knob in this position for longer, to allow any air in the pipes to
be purged. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark clicks to the nine
o’clock position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and
repeat.
When the pilot lights after one of the two sparks, keep the knob depressed in the nine
o’clock position 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,
push the knob in slightly and turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the pilot only position from
the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the nine o’clock position and release. To turn the
fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.
The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side
of the fuel bed.
Push the slide control knob fully downwards to the SPARK position, and hold there for
approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. When
the pilot light has established, release the slide control knob and it will return to the LOW
flame setting. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeat-
ing the ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, move the slide control knob upwards to the HIGH flame set-
ting. The fire can also be set to operate anywhere between HIGH and LOW by moving the
control knob to an intermediate position.
To turn the fire OFF, move the slide control knob upwards fully to the position marked
‘O’.

Release the pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge.
Light the fire on the HIGH setting. To commission the appliance,
the operating pressure must be in accordance with the figures stat-
ed in section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to
achieve the correct flow rates at the specified operating pressure.
Any significant variation in the operating pressure could indicate
a supply problem. If the operating pressure is too high, the gas
supply meter/governor may be set incorrectly. This should be
checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier. If the operating pressure is too low, then check
the meter/governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of
these instructions it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the inlet pressure is too low, but the meter/governor
pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. Upon satisfactory checking of the
inlet pressure, turn the fire off, disconnect the pressure gauge and refit the test point screw. Light the fire and check
for gas soundness. In the event that the inlet pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section
of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the problem investigated and rectified.
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 creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this.
Re-check the gas pressure to ensure it is adequate (see section 2.0). The thermocouple connection into the back of the
gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, in this case re-tighten.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check
the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appli-
ance 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 appliance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then
further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a
smoke match and put in the smoke match tube provided. Light the smoke match and position the end of the smoke
match tube centrally next to the draught diverter as shown in figures 18 and 19.
All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue.
Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring.
If the spillage test fails and the spigot restrictor is fitted, remove the spigot restrictor, re-fit and re-test. If the initial
spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfac-
torily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors
open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.
DO NOT allow the fire to be used until the test is satisfactorily passed.
