INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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 (and
meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional
requirements of BS 715. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at least
12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.
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 restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.
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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct
installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals. 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 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. In accordance with BS
EN 1858, pre-cast flues built with directly plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as to ensure
proper operation 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.
This appliance is suitable for use with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150OC minimum rating.

VENTILATION
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance
. The requirements of other appliances operating 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 natural ventilation for cor-
rect operation of the flue. If the appliance does not spill with the windows open, but spillage is detected with the windows closed, this demon-
strates 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 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 venti-
lation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given in the diagram below 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 materials (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 requirements 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.
UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
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 cast front fret, and the bags containing the coals. Remove the cardboard packing 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.

INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE
Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.
The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Remove the appliance from it’s carton as described previously and
stand on a dust sheet or similar. Place the coals, ceramics and fixings
safely to one side.
Remove the burner from the assembly by removing the two screws in
the data/control plate. Lift away the plate, and remove the two screws
retaining the tray legs. The tray is now free and may be lifted away.
Knock out holes are provided in the rear of the firebox for use where
concealed pipework is required. Knock out the holes 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 supply pipe and sleeving.
Note: DO NOT
install or use the appliance without this seal in place.
If the hole is inadvertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet.
Failure to fit this seal correctly will cause the flue suction to act upon
the area under the burner resulting in poor performance.
SPIGOT RESTRICTOR. If fitting the fire into a Class 1 or good Class 2 flue, attach the spigot restrictor to the rear of the appliance using screws
provided.
If spillage is detected during the commissioning of the appliance, the spigot restrictor should be removed immediately.
PREPARING THE OPENING
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 cor-
rectly from the terminal. If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the firebox 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 firebox 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 obstructed in any way. Remove the firebox and take any nec-
essary measurements before making good and preparing for final installation. Apply the self adhesive sealing strips around the edge of the
rear of the firebox frame, approximately 5mm in from the edge.

PREPARING THE OPENING (continued)
Cable fixing: For fixing the fire by the cable method, see relevant section.
Fixing by screw: Mark and drill the fireframe or base, and relevant points in the opening or on the wall. Use the wallplugs supplied in the
loose parts pack only.
Gas supply:
Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply (if required) can now be put into place. Refer to the rel-
evant section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The end of the 8mm sup-
ply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SUPPLY ROUTING
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed as shown in the following diagrams.
An isolator cock or restrictor elbow must be fitted to the incoming supply to facilitate servicing.
If using a concealed supply it should be laid in accordance with the diagram below. Select the supply route most relevant to the entry
point of the gas supply into the fireplace opening.
If using an across the hearth connection, then the cast firefronts are notched and the supply pipe can be routed through this.
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.
CABLE FIXING
Drill four holes using a 8mm masonry bit to a depth of 42mm as shown in the dia-
gram 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.
Thread both tensioning cables through the holes at the top of the firebox, both
eyelets, and back through the lower holes in the firebox as shown in the photo-
graph. Before finally fitting the firebox, apply the self-adhesive sealing strips
around the rear of the firebox frame.
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 tensioner head.
Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable taut and tighten nipple.
Adjust tensioner using a suitable spanner to pull the appliance back into position, to allow an
even seal around the fireplace opening.
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 and tuck the coils out of the way as sug-
gested in the photograph.

FITTING THE BURNER TRAY
Important Note: Check the thermocouple nut connection into the rear of the valve is secure.
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. Fit the two securing
screws through the tray legs to secure the assembly.
Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections. Fit the
data/control plate to the tray using the two screws provided. Ensure that
the control knob can be pushed fully in and does not touch the plate.
Fit the deflector baffle to the two locations on the front face of the fire-
tray. Screws are provided for this purpose. The baffle should be level with
the lower edge of the tray. Place the firefront in front of the fire tem-
porarily to check the angle of the baffle. The casting 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.
GAS CONNECTION
Purge the gas supply to remove any air, and connect the previously installed gas supply to the control tap and tighten all joints.
If using an across hearth connection ensure the decorative frame and firefront will clear the supply route. 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
Fit the tapered brick pad into the securing brackets in the upper area of
the firebox. Place the large brick panel against the rear of the firebox
Place the ceramic combustion matrix onto the burner and the ceramic side
cheeks onto the matrix.
Place the front row of six coals on to the matrix, with the two coals sec-
ond front each end turned on their sides. 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. Corners or rough edges MUST NOT be allowed to enter the flame
ports. If in any doubt pull the coals as far forward as possible.
Place the middle row of five coals onto the flats in the matrix. Ensure the
coals are not put into the holes in the matrix. Place the two end coals firmly
against the side cheeks and back to the steps on the matrix, turning them on
to their sides as shown.
Place the rear row of four coals, making sure that the flat sides are firmly
against the brick panel and side cheeks as shown.
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.

FUEL BED LAYOUT (continued)
Coals may be rotated slightly within their positions to give a good visual effect.
The edges or corners of the front row of coals MUST NOT be allowed to enter the flame slots in the matrix. If in doubt, pull them forward as
far as possible. Pay special attention 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 possibility of heat discolouration.
The fire is designed to operate correctly with the coals supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the fifteen coals,
or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the coal bed.
FUEL BED LAYOUT - Pebble effect option
This fire is supplied with 15 ceramic pebbles. The pebbles may vary slightly in
size, shape and colour, in order to allow a realistic layout.
Fit the tapered brick pad into the securing brackets in the upper area of the fire-
box. Place the large brick panel against the rear of the firebox
Place the ceramic combustion matrix onto the burner and the ceramic side
cheeks onto the matrix.
Place the front row of six pebbles on to the matrix. Ensure the pebbles are firmly
against the side cheeks as shown in the photograph. If necessary, pull the peb-
bles forward slightly to ensure their rear edges do not overhang the flame ports.
The edges of the pebbles MUST NOT be allowed to enter the flame ports.
Place the middle row of four pebbles onto the supports in the matrix, over the
top of the holes. Ensure the pebbles are not turned sideways, such that they actu-
ally enter the holes.
Place the rear row of five pebbles, making sure that the flat sides are firmly
against the brick panel and side cheeks as shown.
Note: The pebbles must not be crammed together, or inserted into the holes in
the matrix. A well laid out, generously spaced pebble layout will give the best
results.
The pebbles may be rotated slightly within their positions to give a good visual effect. Pay special attention to finally adjust the pebbles with
the fire lit on the HIGH setting in order to ensure that no flames play onto the firebox sides. This will reduce the possibility of heat dis-
colouration.
The fire is designed to operate correctly with the pebbles supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the fifteen
pebbles, or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the fuelbed.

FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME
The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame. The frame attaches to the firebox
using either four magnetic pieces, or as a three piece clip-on assembly. Before fitting
the frame remove any plastic protective coating.
For three piece frames : The side pieces of the clip on assembly should be pushed into
position first, followed by the top bar (shown), which should overlap the sides.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care should be taken
when handling the three piece frame components. 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 supplied
with the appliance.
For single piece frames : Fit the magnets to the backing plates in four corners of the
firebox as shown. Follow the frame assembly instructions which are provided with the
frame itself.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the cur-
rent edition of BS6891.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the matrix. Rotate the coals or pebbles for good view-
ing. 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 the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three min-
utes 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.
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
To commission the appliance, the burner pressure must be in accordance with the
figures stated in section 2.0 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 running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.
If the burner pressure is too low, then check the inlet pressure with the appliance
running. If this is less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instruc-
tions 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.
Upon satisfactory checking of the burner 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 burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance must
not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guidance.
FLUE 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 creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should
resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The ther-
mocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the installer to tight-
en. 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 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 appliance 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 away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that
spillage is occurring. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been complet-
ed 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.
DO NOT allow the fire to be used until the test is satisfactorily passed.
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.
Advise that cleaning of the fire may be achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on most surfaces.
Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered 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 pre-
vent contamination 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.
Advise that the fire will emit a “newness” smell for a time after initial commissioning and that extra ventilation may be needed during this
time. Advise that the fire is fitted with a spillage safety device (O.D.S.). If the fire shuts down, this system may be in operation. If spillage is
suspected, SWITCH APPLIANCE OFF and call in the installer to investigate any problems.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC PARTS
Remove the firefront and place to one side. Remove the ceramic components. Gently clean in the open air. Be careful not to create dust
from the coals. Where necessary replace damaged components with genuine spares. Seal scrap ceramic components in plastic bags and
dispose at proper refuse sites as directed. Re-fit the coals by referring to the relevant section of these instructions.
REMOVING THE BURNER TRAY
Remove the decorative front. Remove the ceramics and the data/control plate and place safely aside.
Remove the two screws securing the tray legs to the firebox. Pull tray forward slightly and lift away.
Refitting is the reverse of above, being sure to engage the tray location lugs on the shelf at the rear of the firebox.
DISMANTLING THE BURNER TRAY
Remove the tray as previously described. The pilot unit can be removed by withdrawing the tubing nut, the thermocouple nut on the rear of
the valve, and the two securing screws, and lifting away. Remove the tubing nut from the valve end of the pilot pipe, and blow through to dis-
lodge any debris. Remove the two tubing nuts on the ends of the gas pipe to the injector elbow and blow clear. Release the screw through
the supporting leg and lift assembly clear. The injector pipe can now be checked for debris. Remove the nut retaining the injector elbow.
Blow through the elbow to remove any debris.
The valve is not field serviceable, apart from the pilot filter. Remove the control knob by pulling it forwards, then remove the largest of the
three screws on the face of the valve. Slide the filter out and clean away any debris that may have accumulated. The filter element should also
be blown clean. This component should not require replacement, however if signs of deterioration are evident then a genuine spare part must
be used. If a large amount of debris is present in the filter then the pipework and control should be thoroughly cleaned before re-assembly.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
Remove the burner tray as in relevant section and pilot unit as described. Clean the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through. Check
the aeration holes are free of any dirt or lint. Clean thoroughly internally, the connection can be removed from the base of the pilot unit using
two spanners to make cleaning easier. Do not damage or try to remove the pilot injector. The unit is factory set and the only check necessary
is to ensure the spark gap is correct. See specifications for gap setting.
REMOVING THE FIREBOX
Remove the burner tray as described previously. Protect the hearth from potential damage. Unroll the coiled tensioner cables from the rear
of the firebox. Remove the securing nipples and tensioner adjusters. The firebox is now released from the opening and can be slid outward
onto the hearth. Inspect the fireplace opening for debris and if excessive rectify the flue before proceeding further. Check the seal around the
fireframe and if necessary replace. Refitting of the firebox is as described in the fitting section of these instructions.

FIREFRONT
This fire is supplied with a particular style of firefront. Use of the firefront will ensure an adequate airflow under the fuelbed for the correct
functioning of this appliance.
Compliance with safety standards cannot be guaranteed if another style of front is used.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.
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 appliance, providing the forward
projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).
Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned
too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.
VENTILATION
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance.
The requirements of other appliances operating in the same space
or room, and the results of a spillage test must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been car-
ried out by your CORGI registered installer.
For Republic of Ireland, ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pilot is visible through the underside of the left hand side of the matrix. 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, ensur-
ing 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 sec-
onds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished dur-
ing 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, 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.
FLUE 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 reasons may
be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the
draught should resolve this. The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. A grommet seal may also be missing from the
firebox causing abnormal draught to shut down the pilot. Call your installer to check seals are properly fitted.
If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check
the flue and ventilation and carry out any remedial work required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the flue system is passed as
safe.
