SECTION ONE Introduction Continued
The PARAGON 2000 Plus incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot,
and main burner low and high settings.
The PARAGON 2000 Plus incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen
Depletion System, which constantly monitors the oxygen in the room and will cause the
fire to switch off if the oxygen level reduces, for instance due to insufficient ventilation or a
blocked flue.
If this repeatedly occurs do not attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer
has checked it, the problem may not be due to lack of air or a defective flue.
Warning:-This appliance has a naked flame, has with all such fires it is recommended
that a fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm.
Fireguards should conform to BS 6539 (1984) (Fireguards for use with solid fuel
appliances).
During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of
the fuel bed. This is quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if
excessive black staining does occur it may be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid.
This should be checked prior to contacting a service engineer.
SECTION TWO Operation
The pilot can be left on or the pilot can be extinguished and relit each time the fire is used.
The appliance Control Knob is positioned behind the fret.
The full lighting procedure is as follows: -
a. Push knob in as far as possible on gas control.
b. Turn knob anti-clockwise until a click is heard. The knob will stop at the position
marked ' ' and a spark should be seen at the tip of the ignition probe. At the same
time the pilot flame should light. KEEP THE KNOB PRESSED IN FOR 20
SECONDS. Should the pilot fail to light, turn the control knob clockwise to the ' '
position, wait 3 minutes and repeat the procedure.
c. After lighting the pilot flame the control knob should be allowed to spring out slightly.
This will allow you to turn the knob further anti-clockwise to the position marked ' '.
The pilot flame should then ignite the main fire.
d. It is possible to adjust the height of the flames by turning the control knob between
the positions marked ' ' and ' '. Note that the knob 'latches' in position at either
end of this movement and must be pushed in slightly before it can be turned.
e. To turn the fire off, depress the knob slightly and turn it to the ' ' position.
f. To completely extinguish the fire, depress the knob slightly and turn to ' ' the
position.

the rear of the appliance frame. IMPORTANT: - the
flue restrictor plate must not be fitted when the
appliance is installed in this type of flue.
Note: An inspection should be made to ensure that
the internal walls of the flue are clear of mortar
fangs. It is recommended that the plasterwork
should not be directly bonded to the surface of the
flue blocks, ensuring that there is a small air gap
between the flue blocks and the wall surface. The fire can be installed with the plasterwork
being directly bonded to the flue blocks but there is a risk of surface cracking occurring to
the plaster above the appliance.
CLASS TWO FABRICATED METAL
A double-walled or insulated metal flue box built to the requirements of BS 715 with an
insulated flue having a minimum diameter of 125 mm (5 ins) and a minimum effective
overall height of 3 metres (10 ft).
IMPORTANT: - the flue restrictor plate must not be fitted when the appliance is
installed in this type of flue.
Note: A brick or stone chimney with a 125 mm (5 ins) minimum diameter flue liner
conforming to BS 715 may be used. Provided a suitable sealing plate is fitted to the base
of the liner and the appliance does not restrict the opening into the liner.
Note: Dampers or register plates must not restrict any of the above flues. The flue must
only service a single appliance and not have any branches or traps, which may impede the
natural draught. If a terminal is fitted it must be suitable for the purpose.
SECTION EIGHT Fireplace Requirements
A flat face of 605 mm high x 500 mm wide must be provided around the fireplace opening
for the fixing of the appliance to ensure that a good seal is formed. The base of the fire

CLEARANCE TO SHELF
Minimum clearance from hearth to underside of combustible shelf should be 700mm
provided shelf depth 150mm or less. This height may be reduced to 640mm for a shelf
depth of 100mm or less
When the shelf depth is increased by increments of 12.5 mm greater than 150mm, add
25mm to the 700mm minimum clearance.
CLEARANCE TO SIDES OF FIRE
Minimum width between vertical sides of combustible surround should not be less than
700mm provided fire is central to surround and sides do not project more than 150 mm.
When vertical side forward projection is increased by 12.5 mm add 50 mm to inside width
of surround.
N.B. When fire is fitted this provides a minimum side clearance of 100mm.
Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings
or decoration, e.g. many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed
too close to the appliance.
VENTILATION
In the United Kingdom no special ventilation bricks or vents are required into the room
containing the appliance, provided normal adventitious room ventilation exists. The
installer must satisfy this point by carrying out a mandatory spillage test.
In the Republic of Ireland permanent ventilation must comply with the rules in force
SECTION NINE To Install the Appliance
EXAMINE FLUE / CHIMNEY
Check that the flue/chimney conforms to the required specifications as previously stated.
Examine the condition and carry out any remedial work. If the flue/chimney has been used
for solid fuel or oil, it should be swept prior to appliance installation. A smoke test must be
carried out to check that satisfactory smoke clearance has been established. If all the
smoke is not drawn into the flue, pre-heat the flue with a blowtorch or similar and re-check.
If there is any uncertainty examine for the cause and, if necessary, seek expert advice.
CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

GAS CONCEALED CONNECTION
If the supply is to be a concealed connection it would be advisable to route 8mm O/D half
hard copper tube to the rear right side of the fireplace opening, taking into account the
requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with enclosed pipes. Form the tube so that it enters
the fire via the blind grommet at the rear of the appliance. An 8mm restrictor elbow can be
positioned under the burner assembly on the right-hand side connected to the gas supply
pipe and its outlet connected to the gas appliance.
Note: pipework in the opening of the fireplace to the rear of the appliance must be suitably
wrapped in accordance with the regulations.
GAS CONNECTION FROM THE FRONT
Connections may be made from the front of the appliance from either the left or right in 8-
mm diameter pipe. If a left-hand connection is required the tube should be routed behind
the bezel plate under the gas control tap and onto the inlet elbow. The inlet elbows should
be rotated to the required position. A suitable isolating cock should always be fitted in the
supply feed to the fire to facilitate servicing.
FIXING FIRE INTO OPENING
Remove the paper backing from the length of foam seal and stick it around the rear flange
of fire. If a spacer is going to be used stick the second length (supplied with the spacer kit)
around the rear face of the spacer unit, THE FOAM SEAL MUST BE POSITIONED TO
ENSURE AN AIR TIGHT SEAL WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS FITTED.
NOTE: -DO NOT USE PERAMENT SEALING COMPONDS i.e. SILICON SEALANT.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE APPLIANCE TO BE DAMAGED WHEN IT IS REMOVED FOR
SERVICING, AND COULD INVALIDATE THE WARRENTY.
If the spacer is not being used, mark position of flange hole in the fireplace front drill and
fix firebox in position with wall plugs and wood screws. If spacer is being used fix the
spacer to the fireplace first with wood screws and wall plugs then screw firebox to spacer
box using screws provided.
