2 Introduction
We thank you for your confidence in the Metalfire fireplace that you have purchased. Our products guarantee
many years of heating comfort.
Read these installation and use instructions carefully before starting the installation. Afterwards, you hand them to
the customer.
We advise you to check the appliance upon delivery for any transport damage.
The Avenue range consists of the following models:
AVENUE MF 600-75 GHE
AVENUE MF 700-60 GHE
AVENUE MF 800-75 GHE
AVENUE MF 900-60 GHE
AVENUE MF 1050-40 GHE
AVENUE MF 1050-60 GHE
AVENUE MF 1050-75 GHE
AVENUE MF 1300-40 GHE
AVENUE MF 1300-60 GHE
AVENUE MF 1600-40 GHE
These appliances are closed-circuit gas fireplaces that must be connected to an individual flue that consists of two
concentric pipes. The discharge of flue gases and the supply of combustion air takes place through this pipe
system which can be installed through a wall or roof duct.
These appliances, therefore, operate independently from the air in the room.
It is very important that these gas fireplaces are installed only by a qualified fitter, according to national
and local regulations.
Gas and electricity facilities must be implemented in accordance with national and/or local regulations.

3 Safety
3.1 CE certification mark
This appliance has been tested according to the 90/396/EEC directive that is included in the EN 613 standard.
Every appliance is adjusted and functionally tested during production.
3.2 Safety instructions during installation
The installation of this closed-circuit gas fireplace may only be carried out by a recognized installer according to
applicable national and/or local regulations.
Check before installation that the gas supply (gas type and pressure) are in accordance with the configuration of
the appliance. This information can be found on the rating plate.
No other objects may be placed in the combustion chamber except the originally supplied ceramic log set.
Take the necessary precautions using incombustible materials so that items in the immediate vicinity of the
appliance (curtains, floor, walls and so on) are not overheated.
All implemented safety features in the appliance may never be bypassed, changed or switched off.
If the flame protection in the appliance is activated on purpose or accidentally, putting out the fire as a result, you
need to wait for three minutes before igniting it again.
The tightness of the gas connection and the flue gas discharge must be checked.
3.3 Safety instructions for user
Never use this closed-circuit fireplace as an open fireplace. So always keep the door and the window in the door
of the appliance closed when it is in use.
Do not use the appliance if the glass in the door is cracked or broken.
If the glass or the door are defective, a recognized Metalfire dealer must replace them immediately.
These gas fireplaces radiate significant levels of heat. The entire outside of the fireplace becomes extremely hot
(the metalwork, door, glass, surface and surround, etc.).
So ensure that young children, the elderly and disabled people stay a safe distance from the fireplace so that they
cannot come into contact with it, and make sure there is a guard around the fire, if necessary.
Never let children operate the fireplace without supervision.
Make sure that flammable materials (wooden mantels, curtains, flammable liquids, furniture and so on) are always
separated from the fireplace by at least 1 m both above and around it.
Following installation, all visible parts of the fireplace should be considered as active heating surfaces and
therefore should not be touched when the fireplace is in use. Touching these parts constitutes a risk of burns.
3.4 Fireplace safety functions
This closed-circuit gas appliance uses a pilot flame that is continuously on when the appliance is in operation. The
pilot flame is detected via an electronic ionization detector. The gas supply to the main burner and ignition of the
gas only takes place after the pilot flame has been detected correctly.
There is two-way communication between the remote control and the receiver.
This ensures that an error message appears on the remote control screen if there is a malfunction (see Section 8
on error analysis).
If the pilot flame is not detected during ignition, the fireplace will send an error message to the remote control
screen. Error messages can be reset five times at most during a 24 hour period.
The fireplace is fitted with pressure-reducing valves on the top of the fireplace to minimize the risk of injuries due
to the increase in pressure in the appliance during irregular ignition of the gas mixture.

4.2 Gas and electricity connection
As standard practice, the gas valve and control electronics are connected on the left-hand side of the appliance.
When ordering, customers have the option of requesting a different layout.
They are mounted as a unit on a bracket that is separate from the appliance.
The control unit and the fireplace are connected with flexible connectors.
An ISO 7 R1/2” male thread is provided for the gas connection.
There is an earthed plug for the electrical connection.
Voltage: ~ 230 V, 50 Hz, 60 VA, 0.26 A
A 230 V earthed power point must be available (3 x 2.5 mm²).
Both connections must always be accessible for service purposes.
4.3 Conversion to another gas type.
Adjustments to convert the fireplace for use with a different gas type may only be
performed by the manufacturers, namely Metalfire.

5.2 Installing and positioning the fireplace
5.2.1 Safety distances to be respected at installation
The fireplace surround and finish must be made from incombustible and heat-resistant material.
There must be a minimum distance of 30 mm between the rear wall and the fireplace.
There must be a minimum distance of 100 mm between the fireplace and the sidewalls.
Metalfire offers a set of 15 mm insulation boards made of calcium silicate and cement for every type of fireplace,
which can be installed directly on the fireplace.
Brickwork and plastering must not be in direct contact with the fireplace or the optional mantelpiece;
there must always be a gap of at least 3 mm between them.

5.2.2 Positioning the fireplace
The fireplace is supplied with 4 adjustable support feet.
The height of the support feet can be adjusted from the inside of the fireplace as well as from the outside.
If the highest position of the support feet is not sufficient, a supporting structure must be built on which the fire can
be placed. It must be strong and stable enough to bear the weight of the fireplace.
If the interior structure of the fireplace hampers access to the M12 levelling bolts along the sides, they can be
reached by dismantling the inside lining and the bottom cover plates.
The fireplace can then be levelled by removing the silicone plugs in the bottom corners of the fireplace using a
long 19 mm socket wrench and a 6 mm Allen key.

If it is not possible to supply the room air at the bottom via the sides of the surround, an opening must be made at
the bottom in the front for the air supply from the room.
One option is a finish at the bottom of the frame that has a slit through which the air can be drawn by convection
flow.
See the outline drawing below:

5.2.4 Installing the fireplace without Metalfire+ frame underneath
If the fireplace is not finished with a full Metalfire+ frame, the support brackets provided must be used for the
model with the door, the corner model and the triangular model.
This is necessary to ensure that the door or the glass is always dismantled correctly.
To ensure that the required distance is kept, the fireplace comes with two adjustable spacers for adjusting the
height, and brackets that can be used to position the incombustible finishing material.
These brackets are not designed to serve as supports
The spacers can be adjusted to the required height for the finish and finishing material
Note that there must always be an expansion joint of 3 mm between the fireplace and the finishing
material
