2. INTRODUCTION
In addition to information about setting-up the appliance, its
operation and maintenance, these instructions for use also contain
advice about its safe use.
The appliance is fully protected by means of a modulating
thermostatic switch and a thermoelectric pilot flame safety device to
prevent the accidental escape of gas from the main burner.
The appliance is protected by a thermal safety device (TSD . This
safety device switches the appliance off if flue gases spread through
the room. This can happen if there is insufficient ventilation and/or if
the flue does not work properly.
The appliance is available with a steel mantle or soapstone or
ceramic covering.
Should it prove necessary, due to moving house for instance, the flue
outlet can be moved from the top to the rear of the fireplace or vice
versa.
A conversion kit is available from Faber International for this purpose.

It is the law in the UK that aallllgas appliances, are installed by a
competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and
Use Regulations (As amended , the relevant British Standards for
Installation work, Building Regulations, Codes of Practice and the
manufacturers instructions.
The installation should also be carried out in accordance with the
following where relevant;
The installation should also be carried out in accordance with the
following where relevant;
BS8303 BS5871 Part1
BS5440 Parts 1&2 BS715
BS6891 BS1251
Building Regulations and Standards issued as relevant by the
Department of the Environment or the Scottish Development
Department.
In the Republic of Ireland installation should be carried out in
accordance with IS813, ICP3, IS327, Building Regulations, Codes of
Practice, the manufacturers instructions and any other rules in force.

prosecution and invalidate the appliance warranty
Note:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs.
Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance shortly
after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural circulation of air,
moist and volatile components from paint, building materials, carpet
etc. will be attracted. These components can settle themselves down
onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown
vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become scorched
or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing the
appliance.

4. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION
4.1 GAS CONNECTION
A G3/8" gas connection should be made with a (CE approved G1/2"
stopcock in the supply pipe, in the chimney.
Be sure that the controls do not get twisted during connection. Avoid
tension on the controls and the gas line.
Once the gas is connected, check all fittings for leaks.
4.2 PLACING OF THE APPLIANCE
Place the base of the fireplace at least 5 cm from the chimney breast.
Connect the appliance to the gas supply.The appliance is fitted with
a pressure regulator.
Check all the gas connections for leaks. Use soapy water and/or a
gas-leak detector.
Connect the fireplace to the chimney pipe. A 100 mm ø pipe should
be connected to the rear flue outlet. A 150 mm ø pipe or a 100 mm ø
pipe with a 150 mm ø decorative pipe should be connected to the
top flue outlet. Corrosion-resistant material should be used to make
the joint between the outlet and the chimney pipe. This connection
pipe should never be attached lower than the flue outlet itself. In the
event the flue outlet is connected to the chimney pipe by means of
an elongated pipe, this should be attached at an upward gradient of
at least 2% as viewed from the flue outlet.
To avoid condensation forming in a brick chimney – and improve the
draught, if necessary – the chimney should be fitted with an
aluminium or stainless steel pipe with a minimum diameter of 100
mm.
Attach the thermostat sensor to the skirting using the clip provided.
4.3 OPENING THE DOOR
The fireplace door can be opened by first loosening the screw in the
door handle, on the left-hand side of the window, then lifting the
handle itself (see fig. 1 .
4.4 LOG SET
Note! To ensure proper burning, the log set may only be arranged
according to the instructions provided by Faber International (see fig.
2 . Other placement can cause soot.
Before arranging the log set, scatter the bag of embers over the
burner. Place the longest log on the far right of the firebox, with its
end resting on the support in the middle. Place the shorter log on
the left, with its end resting against that of the first log, in the
middle of the burner zone. Place the final log diagonally over the
first two, with one end at the foot of the right-hand log and the
other around the middle of the left-hand one.
Close the door after arranging the log set.
