APPLIANCE.
• Primarily a decorative appliance - not certified as a space heater.
• The unit must be installed and serviced by a qualified person.
• Wash hands after handling coals and ensure children do not handle them as the colouring may
contain toxic dies.
Carin for your Nectre Wonderfire
Your Nectre Wonderfire has been designed for ease of use and is very easy to maintain. The fire is
a sealed unit and there are no user serviceable components inside, other than the batteries.
To clean:
• Metal surfaces; simply wipe over with a damp cloth.
• Do not use harsh cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ceramic coals; Lightly vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
• Pilot Light; check for lint and dust, vacuum as necessary.
• For units with a fan, check the air intake at the front of the fire is free of lint and dust, vacuum
and clean as necessary.
• Do not attempt to clean the unit whilst it is operating (including Pilot Light) or whilst it is hot.
• After a number of hours of use of the Fire, there may be a slight blackening of some parts the
coals. This is normal and helps enhance the realistic coal fire look.
If your Nectre Wonderfire needs servicin
Your Nectre Wonderfire is reliably designed and built to a fully tested design. If the fire has been
only recently installed and fails to operate, you should call the installer to solve any problems.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with; the manufactures installation instructions,
Municipal building codes, and any other relevant statutory regulations
• The Nectre Wonderfire Gas Fire is only to be used with natural gas. Please refer to the
“Servicing Details” section of these instructions.
• It is recommended that a secondary guard complying with AS 2286 be installed.
• The guard is fitted to this appliance to reduce the risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of

recommended that a fire guard be used with the appliance.
• The overall dimensions of the fire is 465mm wide (front), 325mm wide (rear) x 250mm Deep x
320mm high. (See below for minimum fire place dimensions).
• The appliance may be installed in an existing open fireplace (as a Type 1 appliance), in an
existing fireplace with the Nectre fan assisted convector box (as a Type 1 appliance) or in a
purpose built enclosure with the Nectre fan assisted convector (zero clearance) box (as Type 2

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installer
•The Wonder fire (type 1) must be installed in a fire resistive fire place with a proved draught.
•The chimney must be swept and inspected to see if it is in sound condition.
• The chimney must be a minimum area of 22 000mm2 (e.g. 150x150mm if masonry or 150mm
diameter if round metal flue).
• NOTE – WHERE THE APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED INTO A MASONARY FIREPLACE A
FABRICATED FLUE MUST BE USED.
• An approved 150mm diameter Gas Cowl must be fitted.
• The flue or chimney of an open gas fire must be kept clear at all times. Devices which close or
temporally close the flue or chimney are not permitted. (e.g. a damper must be removed or
securely disabled in the fully open position.)
• If these conditions are met the chimney should usually provide satisfactory draw. In any event,
the chimney and final installation must be tested for spillage into the room. This can be done by
lighting a paper fire in the fireplace (before the appliance is installed) and holding a smoking
twist of paper or a smoking match by the front of the fireplace. Air conditioning vents near the
fireplace may also cause spillage.
• The fireplace must be at least 470mm wide (front), 325mm wide (rear) x 240mm Deep x
400mm high to suit the Type 1 burner.
• The room must have total fixed ventilation equal to the chimney / flue area.
• Refer also to “Wonderfire FFB Convector Box” instructions if fitting a Convector Box.
Fitting the unit
• The unit should be fixed to the base of the fireplace with a screw to each front corner of the
burner.
• Remove the front trim taking care of the wiring to the battery box or unplugging if necessary.
Gas
• Gas connection is to a ½” BSP barrel union connected to the control valve. This is located
centrally under the unit. Take care to not damage the wiring loom
• Thoroughly blow out the supply pipe to clear any dust and debris.
• Ensure all connections are gas tight.
• Note: Do not bring the gas supply down the active chimney.
Coals
The Nectre Wonderfire has ceramic coals and a burner designed to appear like a wood/ coal fire.
The unit is supplied with the ceramics assembled ready for operation.
• When the unit is unpacked check that no damage has occurred in transport.
• Carefully place the ceramic coal assembly on top of the burner making sure that it sits in place
correctly.
• No other coals should be added as this will adversely affect the performance of the fire.
• Wash hands after handling the coals as they may contain toxic dyes.

19
COMMISSIONING
• Once the fire is fitted and connected to the gas, the air bled from the supply pipe, prepare to
test the unit’s operation.
• Read pages 3-11 of this installation instructions first.
•Ensure the switch on the battery pack is in the “Off” position. Remove the plastic battery box
cover (two screws) and fit 4 AA 1.5 volt batteries. A mains adapter can also be connected. Turn
the gas supply on.
• Place the slider switch to the “Remote” position. Insert the end of a paper clip or other similar
object into the hole marked PRG on the front cover. The receiver will beep 3 times.
• Insert the 3 AAA batteries in the remote controller. Push the “On” button. The receiver will beep
4 times. The remote controller is a radio operated unit, so needs to be in the proximity of the
appliance but not necessarily pointing at it.
• Press the ON/OFF key on the remote. The appliance will beep once and the igniter should
spark. It may take some time for the air to bleed from the system through the pilot. (a hand held
gas lighter can be used to speed up this process). Ensure the thermometer symbol is neither
“On” or “Smart” by pressing the thermostat key on the remote. Test the Hi to Low operation
using the “Up/Down” button on the remote.
• After 10 minutes operation from cold, test for fireplace spillage, i.e. all products of combustion
are entering the flue, by traversing the perimeter of the opening or canopy, using a smoke
generator (e.g. a smoking twist of paper or smoke match).
