convected heat using the latest burner technology.
Before Installation, check that the local distribution conditions, nature of the gas and pressure, and adjustment of
the appliance are compatible.
This appliance is intended for use on a gas installation with a governed meter.
This Gas Installation may only be installed by a registered professional competent person (Gas Safe
installer in the UK). The installation must adhere to the requirements of the local and national Building
regulations and national standards. The installation manual must also be followed.
Ensure that the Flue Terminal is not in any way obstructed and is clear of vegetation, i.e. trees, shrubs etc. and
that no objects are leant against the terminal or guard.
Always clean the Window Panel before the fire is ignited. Any finger prints must be removed, as these will be
burnt into the glass and will be un-removable.
WARNING : Do not operate this appliance if the glass panel has been broken (or cracked), removed or is open.
The appliance is designed to fit numerous installation situations as listed in these installation instructions.
However only flue approved by Nestor Martin for this appliance may be used.
This appliance is a balanced flue product and is room sealed and as such requires no additional ventilation for
operation. However an adequate supply of fresh air to maintain temperatures and a comfortable environment is
recommended.
This appliance is designed as a heating appliance, and as such will get very hot in operation, all surfaces (except
the controls and access door) are considered to be working surfaces and as such should not be touched. The
front windows and surrounds are not considered to be fully secure guards against accidental contact. It is
recommended that an approved fire screen be used if children, the elderly or persons with limited mobility are to

2.1 First Time of Operation
Before igniting the appliance, ensure that all packaging, safety stickers and any protective wrapping have been
removed, and that the glass has been cleaned, including all fingerprints from the glass.
Ensure that the room is adequately ventilated the first time that the appliance is ignited, we would recommend
opening windows if possible. Run the appliance at full setting for a few hours so that the paint gets an opportunity
to fully cure. During this period it is possible for some fumes and vapours to be given off. We would recommend
keeping children and pets out of the area at this time.
2.2 Remote Control Overview This Nestor Martin Gas Appliance has been constructed with
an advanced remote control system. This consists of three
main parts; Handset (fig. 1.1), Receiver (fig. 1.2) and Gas
Valve with Manual Override (fig. 1.3). The Gas control valve
and the Receiver are behind the access door. This is also
where the product Data Label is located.

User instructions
2.3 Batteries
Remote Handset:
1 x 9V "PP3" Battery, Quality alkaline recommended
Receiver:
4 x 1.5V "AA", Quality alkaline recommended for maximum life.
An alternative AC Mains Adaptor may be used to power the Receiver instead of the 4 AA batteries. Only an AC
Mains Adapter supplied by Nestor Martin may be used. The Mains Adaptor is plugged into the DC 6V socket on
the end of the receiver.
Note - if the AC Mains Adapter is used, remove the 4 AA's from the Receiver, failure to do so could result in
damage and failure of the Receiver. During a period of power outage, the receiver may be unplugged and
batteries returned to the Receiver.
2.4 Replacing the batteries
Handset:
There is a battery level indicator on the display of the handset. When this gets low remove the cover on the rear
of the handset and replace the battery with another 9V PP3 battery.
Receiver:
Three short audible beeps will sound when the appliance is on to indicate that the batteries in the receiver are
getting low.
When the batteries get very low the appliance will be turned off by the remote control. This will fail to happen if
the power supply is interrupted.
To replace the Receiver batteries, slide the cover off of the top of the receiver and use the ribbon to pull the
batteries out. Replace the batteries with new 1.5V AA's, ensuring that the ribbon is located under the batteries
and that the polarity is correct on all 4 batteries.
Never mix new batteries with old, this will result in the new batteries being emptied very quickly.
When the batteries are replaced, it may be necessary to reset the transmitter code, as detailed in the next
section.
2.5 Setting the Transmitter code
Press and hold the RESET button with a sharp object (pen or screwdriver) until you hear two audible beeps. After
the second, longer beep, release the RESET button.
Within the next twenty seconds press the down button (Button D fig 1.1) on the remote handset until you hear an
additional long signal confirming the code is set.
2.6 To Ignite the appliance
Note - If this appliance is extinguished or goes out in use for any reason, wait 3 minutes before attempting to
relight the appliance. The Gas Control Valve has an interlock device which will not allow relighting until the 3
minutes have passed.
To be able to use the Remote control Handset (fig. 1.1), the rocker switch on the Gas Valve, must be turned "ON"
(the "1" position) and the manual Dial set to the "On" position.
- Simultaneously press and hold buttons B & C (Star and Large Flame), until a short acoustic
beep confirms the start sequence has begun; release the buttons.

3.4 Flue Connection
3.4.1 General notes
This appliance may be installed with a roof terminal (C31) or a wall terminal (C11).
This appliance may only be used with Balanced Flue (otherwise known as Concentric Flue) parts as specified by
Nestor Martin. The Nestor Martin specified flue parts have been approved with the appliance. If the appliance is
installed on non- Nestor Martin approved parts, Nestor Martin cannot guarantee or accept and responsibility for
the proper and safe working of the appliance.
The flue system must be constructed from the appliance upwards, with all joints being fully locked and sealed
using the Nestor Martin specified parts.
The certified pipes to use are :
Vertical configuration (roof) :
Pipes US 100/150 mm Metaloterm B.V. with adaptator USAK 2 10 and with the vertical roof
terminal USDVC2 10
- Horizontal configuration (wall) with vertical pipes starting from the appliance :
Pipes US 100/150 mm Metaloterm B.V. with adaptator USAK 2 10 and with the horizontal wall
terminal USDHC2 10
- Horizontal configuration (wall) starting directly from the appliance with horizontal connections :
pipes US 100/150 mm Metaloterm B.V. with adaptator USAK 2 10 and with USDSC 10 (terminal
SNORKEL)
3.4.2 Timber Frame Construction
Whilst it is possible to install room-sealed appliances in timber frame properties, great care needs to be taken to
ensure that the flue assembly does not interfere with the weather proofing qualities of any outer wall which it may
penetrate. Before attempting this work, further details need to be referenced, (e.g. “Gas Installations in Timber
Frame Buildings” from the Gas Safe installer series in the UK).
3.4.3 Carport or Building Extension
Where a flue terminal is sited within a carport or building extension, it should have at least two completely open
and unobstructed sides. The distance between the lowest part of the roof and the top of the terminal should be at
least 600mm.
Note: A covered passageway should not be treated as a carport. Flues should not be sited in a covered
passageway between properties.
3.4.4 Basements, Lightwells and Retaining walls
Flue terminals should not be sited within the confines of a basement area, light well or external space formed by
a retaining wall, unless steps are taken to ensure the products of combustion can disperse safely at all times. It
may be possible to install this Balanced Flue system in such a location provided that it is not sited lower than 1m
from the top level of that area to allow combustion products to disperse safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total clearance of the combustion products in accordance with the
included information.

10
When the products of combustion are discharged, they should not cause a nuisance to adjoining or adjacent
properties and they should be positioned so that damage cannot occur to other parts of the building. If the outer
wall surface is constructed of combustible material, a non-combustible plate should be fitted behind the terminal
projecting 25mm beyond the external edges of the terminal.
