This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and con-
vected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic convertor burner
technology.
The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It
must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturers original parts
must be used.
The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the Installation
Requirements.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only used in a suf-
ficiently ventilated space. A minimum of 100cm2 (15.5in2) purpose provided ventilation is
required for this appliance. An openable window or louvre is also required. This appliance is
factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data
plate.
The room size should be a minimum of 40m3(1412ft3) to allow adequate circulation of air
and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but
these spaces must not be separated by a door. In order to convert from cubic feet (ft3) to
cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume (in ft3) by 35.3. This appliance is intended as a
secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without some form of
background heating present.
The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. The
appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the
flue products to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe.
The appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or rules in force. It is strongly recommended that a
CORGI registered engineer is used for this purpose, as they are the only persons approved
by the HSE under the above regulations.
On initial lightup of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the first few hours of
operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from outlet grille, this should be
no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows
and doors open during this period.
Read all these instructions before commencing installation.

IMPORTANT NNOTES

INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS
This appliance may be installed with or without a hearth. If a hearth is fitted, the size and design may be as
desired. If the appliance is to be sited near a disused natural draught flue it is recommended that the old flue
should be partially sealed off to prevent draughts, however some ventilation will be required to prevent con-
densation. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. It is possible to install the appliance onto certain
types of combustible materials - see section entitled ‘Clearances to combustible materials’.
In the event that the fire is sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue, any
existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts. The
passageway into the flue should be partially sealed to prevent excessive draughts, however some ventilation
will be required in the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness. Advice should be sought from your
local building control officer.
ROOM SSIZING
The room size should be a minimum of 40m3(e.g. 13’4” x 13’4” x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and
ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not
be separated by a door. To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume in cubic feet
(ft3) by 35.3.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS ((continued)
Clearanccessttonnon-ccombusstibless
Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-made
materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before pro-
ceeding with installation.
Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4in). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm
(20in).
The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind the
appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.
The appliance may be installed with or without a non combustible hearth. If a hearth is fitted, the size and design
may be as desired.
A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than
400mm from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible.
Serenity mmodels oonly: The appliance must not be installed closer than 600mm to the floor. This dimension is
measured from the floor to the bottom of the casing. This clearance is necessary to allow clear access and view-
ing of the control knob.
Clearanccessttoccombusstible mmaterialss
Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame.
Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should
be considered as a combustible material or surface.
Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm(4in) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted
within a distance of 500mm(20in) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the
appliance regardless of distance.
The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm measured from the top of the appliance
glass panel.
Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre.
Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the
wall above the appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any
type of combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appli-
ance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the
appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with
their installation.
The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does
not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound
and constructed from a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wall
paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and
embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or dis-
colouration may occur over time.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and
ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances
that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not dam-
aged.
The appliance may be positioned as close to a solid floor (i.e. stone, wooden laminate etc.) as the particular
design of fireframe permits, however it is not permitted to install the appliance within 100mm of carpet, rugs or
fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance frame.
Serenity mmodels oonly: The appliance must not be installed closer than 600mm to the floor. This dimension is
measured from the floor to the bottom of the casing. This clearance is necessary to allow clear access and view-
ing of the control knob.

VENTILATION
A minimum of 100 cm2purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. This may be achieved either
with one vent (100 cm2at a high or low position in the room), or split ventilation (50cm2 installed at high level
and 50cm2 installed at low level within the room). An openable window or equivalent is also required. The
requirements of other flued appliance operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration
when assessing ventilation.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation fitted under, or within
immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of the ODS sys-
tem. The appliance MUST NOT be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. For Republic of
Ireland, see relevant rules in force.

sary.
Serenity mmodels oonly ::The decorative casing assembly is com-
prised of two parts, the lower case section and the upper case
section. These are supplied attached to the main firebox, and
must be removed before installation. This is achieved as fol-
lows; First remove the grille from the top of the fire buy insert-
ing a screwdriver into one of the holes at either end of the
grille. Move the screwdriver towards the centre of the fire and
lift up to detach the grille. The upper case fixing screws may
now be accessed (as shown). There are two sets of screws at
either end of the casing. Remove the screws and carefully lift
the upper case section from the firebox. Remove the lower

GAS SSUPPLY RROUTES
General ::No more than 1.5m of 8mm diameter pipe must be used to avoid unnecessary pressure drops.
If a concealed gas connection is to be made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors
using the shortest possible route.
For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient wall
thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided. Prior to chas-
ing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may
already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corrosion. Ideally factory fin-
ished protected pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fit-
tings must not be used. The pipework installation must be tested for soundness before any protection is applied
and/or the pipework and fittings are buried.
Reflection mmodels oonly ::There are four possible
entry points for the gas supply pipework to enter the
appliance firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’
type holes. Non-concealed gas connections may be
made using the entry points at either end of the fire-
box or the one in the bottom of the firebox. A con-
cealed gas connection may be made using the
knock out hole in the centre back of the firebox.
Select the most appropriate entry point and knock
out the relevant hole.
Serenity mmodels oonly ::The space available for a sup-
ply pipe routing within the firebox is limited, there-
fore it may be preferred that the pipework emerge
from the wall in the hatched areas indicated as
shown. These areas are clear of the firebox, but con-
cealed by the lower casing of the appliance. They
are also clear of the space needed to remove the
burner. An in-line restrictor cock is provided as a
means of isolating the appliance. The pipework rout-
ing to the inlet of the valve may then be as desired.
Note : The burner is removed via the base of the
main firebox - i.e. downwards, and any supply piping
should allow easy removal of the burner unit.
Saturn mmodels oonly ::There are three possible entry
points for the gas supply pipework to enter the appli-
ance firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’ type
holes. Select the most appropriate entry point and
knock out the relevant hole. The positions of these
holes are shown relative to the positions of the lower
fixing points which appear on the fitting template.

PREPARING TTHE AAPPLIANCE
Reflection mmodels ;;At this stage
it is necessary to assemble the
rear frame of the appliance.
Unpack the four frame sections
and lay face down on a soft sur-
face taking care not to damage
the painted finish. Using the
eight no. 8 self tapping screws
provided, fix the frame pieces
together as shown below, mak-
ing sure that the edges align
neatly. The decorative front frame assembly is fitted after the main fire-
box has been fitted to the wall.
Serenity aand SSaturn mmodels; The out casing / frame components are fit-
ted after the main firebox has been fixed to the wall. The ceramic tiles are
factory fitted.
FIXING TTHE AAPPLIANCE
After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into account the site requirements as
specified in section 4 of these instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the proposed supply
pipe routing, the firebox of appliance may be secured to the wall. A fitting template is supplied to assist with this.
The template serves a number of different models, and due to the dimensional differences between models the
position of the upper fixing holes vary. The lower fixing positions, however remain the same and these should
be used as a starting point, especially when calculating clearances to combustible materials, clearances from the
floor or ceiling (as appropriate). After the lower fixing positions have been confirmed as satisfactory and marked,
the upper fixing points may then be marked on the wall. It is recommended that a spirit level be used to ensure
the installation is square and level.

FIXING TTHE AAPPLIANCE ((continued)
If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes
using a 7mm masonry bit. Insert the fibre wallplugs provided.
If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then special cavity
screw fixings will be required which are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed from metal
and not plastic. Serenity mmodels oonly ::Due to the weight of the appliance four additional fixing points are pro-
vided for securing to the wall (if required).
If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the
appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall.
Insert the wall fixing screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately
5mm from the wall. Now hang the appliance onto these
screws through the two keyhole shaped holes in the back
panel of the appliance.
Insert the lower fixing screws into the lower wall plugs
through the corresponding depressed holes in the lower
part of the back panel. Do not tighten fully yet.
Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this
stage it is recommended to check the horizontal align-
ment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjust-
ments can still be made if necessary. When this has been
checked, tighten the lower fixing screws fully.
Reflection aand SSerenity mmodels ::To access the upper fixing screws insert a
screwdriver through the holes in the deflector plates above the catalyst as
shown above.
CHECKING TTHE BBURNER
There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is
designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length. The burner should be visually inspected to
ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door
should be removed by removal of the retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensur-
ing a good seal.
TESTING AAND CCOMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edition of BS6891.
OPERATING TTHE AAPPLIANCE
The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burner.
Saturn mmodels ::The control knob as accessed by lifting the hinged
panel on the right hand side of the appliance.
Reflection aand SSaturn mmodels ::The control knob is a spherical design
and is marked as shown in the diagram to the right;
Serenity mmodels ::The control knob is located in the centre of the
appliance, underneath the lower casing. The knob is housed within a
control plate which has the various control markings printed onto it.
All mmodels ::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.
