For use in I.E. this appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only
in a sufficiently ventilated space. Please consult document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas
Installation, issued by the National Standards Authority of Ireland.
1.2 FLUE AND CHIMNEY SUITABILITY
This appliance is designed for use with conventional brick built or lined chimneys and fabricated
flues. It is also suitable for use with pre-cast flue blocks conforming to B.S. E.N. 1858 and metal
flue boxes conforming to BS 715. All flues must conform to the following minimum dimensions.
Minimum diameter of circular flues 125 mm
Minimum effective height of all flue types 3 metres
1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY
The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other
combustible floor materials.
The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fireplace surrounds and proprietary fireplace
surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150oc.
If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire surround or
fireplace all combustible material must be removed from behind the trim. Soft wall
coverings such as blown vinyl, wallpaper etc. could be affected by the rising hot air and
scorching and/or discoloration may result. Due consideration should be made to this when
installing or decorating.

1.4 SHELF POSITION
The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum distance of 200mm
above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs
more than 150mm the distance between the fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for
every 25mm of additional overhang over 150mm.
1.5 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure that all the
following conditions are satisfied.
1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fireplace and is clear of any obstruction. Any
dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in the open position.
2. Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for an appliance
burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The base of the chimney / flue must
also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.
3. Any under-floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off.
Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s length and check
that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during and after the
smoke pellet test. With pre-cast flues it is especially important to check the inside of the
flue for extruded cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue blocks. If
present, these should be removed by rodding the flue before proceeding with the
installation.
4. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the chimney / flue and that
the smoke can be seen issuing from the terminal / chimney pot outside. There must be
no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke
pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney /
flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry. If
the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if there is no up-draught do not proceed with the
installation. If there is a history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested
and certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be considered.
A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of the
appliance.

1.6 FIRE PLACE OPENING AND CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE
The front opening of the fireplace must be between 380 and 425 mm wide, and between 550 and
565mm high. If the opening exceeds these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from
suitable non-combustible material to produce a correct size opening. Any surround must be
suitably sealed to the fireplace to prevent leakage. See fig.1
Fig.1
A minimum sized builders opening with a flat rear face and no chair brick fitted must be a minimum
depth of 190mm to accommodate any debris which may fall from the chimney.
See fig. 2 below.
Fig.2
1.7 FITTING TO FIREPLACES WITH EXISTING CHAIRBRICKS AND CONVENTIONAL
BRICKBUILT CHIMNEYS
This appliance is suitable for use in fireplaces fitted with an existing chairbrick without the need for
removal of the chairbrick, providing the minimum depth of the fireplace exceeds 190mm. If the
depth is less than 190mm then the spacer (optional) must be used to give a minimum clearance
from the rear of the fire to the rear of the chairbrick of at least 90mm to allow sufficient space for
the collection of debris which may fall down the chimney. The fireplace must be checked to
ensure that no part of the chairbrick is within 50mm of the flue outlet of the fire when installed.

1.8 FITTING TO PRE-CAST FLUE INSTALLATIONS
To install the fire box in to pre-cast flue starter blocks, there must be at least 105mm from
the mounting face of the fire to the rear of the pre-cast flue starter block to allow sufficient
space for debris collection. If this dimension is less than 105mm then the spacer (optional) must
be used to increase the depth to at least 105mm from the mounting face of the fire. It is important
to consider this depth when choosing a fire surround as the thickness of the fire surround must be
sufficient to give a total depth of at least 128 mm to the rear of the starter block, otherwise there
will be insufficient depth. This can be reduced to 52mm if the optional black spacer is used. To
increase this depth the fire surround may be packed away from the wall using suitable non-
combustible board, providing the installation is correctly sealed. If in doubt about the suitability of
the fire contact CFM Europe Ltd. for advice before proceeding.
It is important to ensure that the pre-cast flue is in good condition and is free from extruded mortar
or sealant from between the flue blocks.
1.9 FITTING TO PRE-FABRICATED TWIN WALL METAL FLUE BOXES
The appliance may be fitted to twin wall metal flue boxes conforming to the constructional
requirements of BS 715, (for example the Selkirk LFE 125 box). The box must have a minimum
flue diameter of 125mm internal and minimum internal dimensions of 380mm deep by 650mm
high by 480mm wide. There are no maximum dimensional requirements for the box. The top face
of the box must be insulated with a minimum thickness of 50mm of non-combustible mineral wool
insulation or similar material. The flue box must stand on a non-combustible base of minimum
thickness 12mm.
1.10 HEARTHS
This appliance must only be installed on to a concrete or non-combustible hearth. The hearth
material must be a minimum thickness of 13mm with the top surface at least 50mm above the
floor. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the fire opening and have a minimum width of
760mm and a minimum projection of 125mm forwards from the fire opening.
1.11 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in the form of an
oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of a partial or complete
blockage of the flue causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire is
operated. The following are important warnings relating to this spillage monitoring system.
1) The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the installer.
2) The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of operation.
3) When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged only a complete original manufacturers part
may be fitted. It is not possible to replace individual parts on the pilot system on this appliance,
only a complete pilot assembly (including the thermocouple) may be fitted.

1off Fire box / burner assembly
1off Trim
1off Loose items bag.
1off each User instruction book and Installation book.
2.2 INSTALLING THE FIRE BOX
a) Remove the Top Infill Panel, Pilot Heat Shield and Glass Frame as shown in section 4 to allow
access to the burner
b) Ensure that the hearth is protected from damage and carefully lift the firebox into the fire
opening, then slide it back into position. Check that the firebox flange fits flush to the sealing
face of the fire surround or wall with no gaps present.
c) Remove the four retaining screws securing the burner to the firebox. The base of the burner
unit can now be pulled forward, allowing the burner to be removed outwards and downwards
from the firebox. See below.

d) The gas supply can be bought in to the firebox from either the left-hand rear or the left-hand
side.
e) Carefully withdraw the firebox from the opening to enable the gas supply and fire fixing to be
completed.
f) The inlet pipe should be connected to the isolating / inlet elbow of the appliance using 8mm
rigid or semi-rigid metal tubing. There must be no soldered joints within the firebox.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test should be carried out to
establish that the existing pipework is sound.
Depending on the spacer option selected, (flush fit or 3” black spacer) there is a choice of methods
of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the installer to deal with any type of installation.
The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing
method which is described in the following section in detail.
The other methods are listed below.
1) If flush fit option is used, the fire may be secured using the cable method as
Described below, or alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg.
loose masonry in rear of fire opening), the fire can be secured to the fire surround using
four screws and wall plugs through the holes provided.
2) If the 3” black spacer is used, secure fire box to spacer using 4off M5 x 6 screws. Make
sure there is a good seal between the firebox and spacer and spacer and surround.
To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows-
g) Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire opening in the positions
shown below.

g) Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the fire opening.
If the clearance at the rear of the fire is at the minimum specified for a precast flue application,
it may be necessary to bend over the fixing eyes after screwing them fully into the rear of a
pre-cast starter block.
i) Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the cables through one of the
two holes on each side of the flue outlet shroud.
j) Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and reach into the fire
opening. Thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the
same side of the fire. Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular
hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the firebox back into the fire
opening and pull both cables tight.
k) Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the tensioning nut is
screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw (this provides maximum
travel for the tensioning nut).
l) Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up against the tensioning
screw, then secure each nipple with a flat bladed screwdriver. See below

11
m) Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the fire snugly against the
wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up against the sealing face of the
wall, it does not need to be compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.
n) With the fire securely in place, if a concealed gas connection has been made through either of
the access holes in the sides of the fire, the holes should be closed around the pipe to prevent
leakage of air through the gap around the pipe.
o) Refit the burner in the reverse order using the four M4x 6mm pozi pan screws.
p) Refit Top Infill Panel, Pilot Heat Shield and Glass Frame as shown in section 4
q) Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas supply pipework to
remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the gas control
valve on the fire.
2.3 GAS TIGHTNESS AND BURNER PRESSURE
a) Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a manometer.
b) Turn on the main gas supply and carry out a gas tightness test.
c) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. Hold in the
control knob for a few seconds to purge the pipe work then press the igniter button. The
burner should light, continue to hold the control knob for a few seconds then turn to the full-on
position.
d) Check that the gas pressure is 20 mbar (+/- 1.0mbar) 8 in w.g.(+/- 0.3 in w.g.).
e) Turn off the fire, remove the manometer and refit the pressure test point screw. Check the
pressure test point screw for gas tightness with the appliance turned on using a suitable
leak detection fluid or detector.

COMMISIONING
3.1 LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to relight the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
a) Turn on the gas restrictor at the inlet fitting.
b) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. Hold
in the control knob for a few seconds to purge the pipe work.
c) Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the burner does not
light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. Continue to hold the
control knob for 5-10 seconds to allow thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out
when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
d) Turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high position and the main
burner will light.
e) Turn the control knob clockwise to the low position and the gas input will be reduced to
the minimum setting.
f) Slightly depress the control knob and turn to the pilot position, the main burner will go
out but the pilot will remain lit.
g) Slightly depress the control knob and turn to the off position, the pilot will now be
extinguished.
h) After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high position to fully warm
up. During this time a slight odour may be noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the
fire and will soon disappear.
3.2 CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
a) Close all doors and windows in the room.
b) Light the fire and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high position.
c) After approximately 5 minutes using a smoke match holder, position the tip of the
smoke match 25mm inside the draft diverter, which is in the centre of the convection air
aperture. All smoke generated should be drawn back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs
or if in doubt, repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes.

d) If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a fault exists. If, after
investigation the fault cannot be traced and rectified, the fire must be disconnected
from the gas supply and expert advice obtained.
e) If there is an extractor fan fitted anywhere in the vicinity of the appliance, the spillage
test should be repeated with the fan running on maximum and all interconnecting doors
open.
f) After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high position to fully warm
up. During this time a slight odour may be noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the
