1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROU D 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 fire place surrounds and
proprietary fire place 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 fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind
the trim. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper 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 POSITIO
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 / CHIM EY I SPECTIO
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 fire place and is clear of any
obstruction. Any dampers or register plates, other than those supplied on
the cast front 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 fire place must be completely sealed off.
4. 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.
5. 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.
5

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.
6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of
the appliance.
1.6 FIRE PLACE OPE I G A D CHIM EY CATCHME T SPACE
The front opening of the fire place must be a minimum of 400mm wide, and
500mm minimum in height. 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 fire place to
prevent leakage. See below in fig.1
When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient
depth to accomodate any debris which may fall from the chimney. This depth
must be sufficient to accomodate 12 litres of volumetric space.

3.3 CHECKI G FOR CLEARA CE OF COMBUSTIO 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 hold a smoke match just inside and
below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire. (It is
recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when check
ing for clearance of combustion products). 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 any where in the vicinity of the
appliance, or in adjacent rooms 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 fire and will soon disappear.
At this stage any minor adjustments to the coals should be made
using suitable long handled tongs and taking care not to damage the
coals.
Finally, hand the Installation and Maintenance Instructions and the
Users Instructions over to the customer and explain the operation of the
fire.

SECTIO 4
MAI TE A CE
Servicing otes
Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI
registered engineer. This is a condition of the Flavel guarantee schemes.
The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for
accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the
chimney.
The condition of the coals should be checked and if necessary the whole set
should be replaced with a genuine replacement set.
The burner assembly is designed to be removed as a complete unit for ease of
access. After any servicing work a gas tightness check must always be
carried out. All sections apply for coal fuelbed model variants.
For Diagrams refer to Section 2
4.1 Removing the burner assembly from the fire.
4.1.1 Prepare work area (lay down dust sheets etc.)
4.1.2 Remove the front bars / ash pan cover and put them in a safe
location. Remove the loose coals from the fuel bed. Remove the
fuelbed matrix & ceramic front rails.
4.1.3 Isolate the gas supply and remove the inlet pipe from the appliance
inlet elbow. Unscrew and remove the two screws which retain the
burner at the base. Remove the burner assembly from the fire.
4.1.4 To refit the burner assembly. Push the burner to locate against the rear
panel of the cast and secure the burner at the base of the control panel

SECTIO FIVE - USER I STRUCTIO S
5.1 About your Flavel Waverley Inset Tray
The Flavel Waverley Inset Tray incorporates a unique and highly developed fuel
bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames
and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuel-bed
components ensures long and trouble free operation.
When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch
used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals or pebbles, it is non-toxic and
will soon disappear.
Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to
obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.
IMPORTA T SAFETY I FORMATIO
WAR I G
This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a
fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and
infirm. Fireguards should conform to B.S. 8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use
with gas heating appliances).
It is important that this appliance is serviced at least once a year by a CORGI
registered gas installer and that during the service the fire is removed from the fire
opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages
which must be removed. The chimney should also be checked to ensure
clearance of flue products. These are conditions of the manufacturers
guarantee. After installation or during servicing a spillage test must always
be carried out.
Rubbish of any type must EVER be thrown onto the fuel-bed, this could affect
safe operation and damage the fire.
Any debris or deposits should be removed from the fuel-bed from time to time.
This may be carried out by referring to the cleaning section as described later in
this book.
Only the correct number and type of coals must be used and only
complete and genuine replacement sets must be sourced from BFM Europe Ltd.
Ltd (See rear cover of this book for contact details)
The appliance must only be used with the coal set supplied and must not be used
with other coals.
Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never
dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire. ever use aerosols or
flammable cleaning products near to the fire when it is in use.
The ceramic fuel-bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and
19

sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.
The fire must only be operated with the cast surround supplied with the fire.
5.2 Operating the Fire
To light the fire proceed as follows:-
1) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to
reach the pilot.
2) Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the pilot
does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. When
the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds
to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control
knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :-
Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position
marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach
the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in behind the front ceramic coals on the left
hand side. This will light the pilot flame. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold
the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the
pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.
3) After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high
position and the main burner will light. It is recommended that for most
efficient performance the fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with
the gas control on maximum.
4) The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give
the desired heat output.
WAR I G
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to re-light the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.
SPILLAGE MO ITORI G SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with a spillage monitoring system which shuts down the fire
if the evacuation of combustion products from the fire is affected by a partially or
fully blocked flue. If this system operates the fire will go out. If this occurs, leave
the fire for at least three minutes then follow the lighting procedure as described in
the previous section. In the event of repeated operation a CORGI registered
gas installer must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.
