2.0 Site Requirements
2.1 THE FIREPLACE AND SURROUND
The fireplace must be of non-combustible material having an opening size to the dimensions shown in Fig. 2 for Hearth
Mounting and Fig. 3 for Wall Mounting respectively. It is IMPORTANT that there is no combustible material or cladding in
the vertical flat area shown in dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 3. The fire should be installed so that no part of the combustible
side wall is less than 508mm (20in) from the radiant source. If this is not possible, the combustible side wall must be
suitably protected.
Some curvature of the surround is permissible but should this mean that there would be a gap between the back of the
fire and the surround exceeding 13mm (½in) then a flue spigot extension (not supplied) must be used. The maximum
projection of the spigot extension measured from the back of the fire is 150mm (6in). A 150mm extended spigot RW Part
No. 991134 is available. It may need shortening to suit the installation.
A wooden shelf may be fitted above the fire. The underside of any combustible shelf of 150mm (6in) depth must be at
least 115mm (4½in) above the top of the fire. For shelves of greater depth allow an increase of 13mm (½in) in shelf
height for every 25mm (1in) increase in shelf depth. (Refer to shelf height in Users Instructions).
A clearance of 50mm (2in) measured from the case side is required at each side for access / servicing.
NOTE: For battery replacement, the RH side clearance should be increased to around 115mm.

A spillage test must be made before the installed fire is left with the user. This carried out in the following manner: Light
the fire and leave on at full rate. Close all doors and windows in the room and after the fire has been alight for five
minutes, insert a lighted smoke match under the canopy above the centre radiants 25mm (1 in) inside (See Fig 15). If
the smoke is drawn into the fire the installation is satisfactory. If the smoke is not drawn into the fire leave for another
ten minutes and repeat the test, if the smoke is still not drawn into the fire remove the fire and check the sealing of the
closure plate. If this is satisfactory remove the spigot restrictor, if fitted, re-fit the fire then check for spillage. If the
spillage still persists DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRE CONNECTED TO THE GAS - SEEK EXPERT ADVICE

Servicing Instructions
9.6 PILOT FILTER
Remove the pipe connecting the pilot to the gas
tap (2 nuts). The pilot filter is located in the outlet
from the tap, prise it out with a pin. Insert new
pilot filter (it may be convenient to balance the
new filter on the outlet and push home using a
matchstick). Re-fit the pipe, tighten the nuts and
check
operation.
9.7 PILOT ASSEMBLY
The pilot is an atmosphere sensing device and
must be replace as a complete unit. Repair must
not be undertaken.
NOTE: If the fire keeps going out or exhibits signs
of nuisance shut off, check the operation of the
pilot as follows:-
(a) Inspect the pilot flame, if suspect check gas
supply. Clear blockage if necessary, if flame is
still suspect replace pilot assembly.
(b) Check the thermocouple. If faulty replace the
pilot assembly.
(c) Check the magnet unit in the gas tap. If faulty
replace the tap.
(d) Check the ventilation in the room. Vitiation
may be due to lack of sufficient air supply.
(e) Check for satisfactory clearance of
combustion products. Vitiation may be due to
spillage of combustion products into the
room.
Disconnect the pilot feed pipe at the gas tap and
the pilot body at the main burner. Pull off the spark
lead at the electrode and disconnect the
thermocouple nut at the gas tap. Withdraw the
pilot complete with pipe. Swap the pipe onto the
new pilot. Re-assemble in the fire and make all the
connections. Check the operation of the fire.
9.8 PIEZO IGNITER
The ingniter is not renewable as a separate item. If
the igniter is faulty, the gas tap/fsd assembly must
be replaced.
A lint filter has been fitted to the pilot of this
appliance to filter out any dust or lint which may
present in normal household room air.
9.9 PILOT LINT FILTER
If you notice that the appliance has a floppy yellow pilot
flame and/or there is difficulty in lighting the appliance
then the lint filter may need cleaning. Cleaning should
be carried out by vacuuming the dust and lint from the
filter. If vacuuming alone is not successful in curing the
ignition problem then a Gas Safe registered engineer
must be called to investigate the problem.
To remove the lint filter for cleaning or to gain access to
the aeration hole simply slide the lint filter downward.
Refit by pushing up against the pilot bracket, ensure it is
crimped to hold it in place.
When supplied as a spare part the lint trap must be fitted
as shown and crimped to fix in place, ensuring it is
‘butted up’ to the pilot bracket.

The Benchmark Scheme
Glen Dimplex UK is a licensed member of the Benchmark Scheme which aims to improve the standards of installation
and commissioning of domestic heating and hot water systems in the UK and to encourage regular servicing to optimise
safety, efficiency and performance.
Benchmark is managed and promoted by the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council.
Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the Benchmark Checklist on the back pages of the Installation &
Servicing instructions supplied with the product and that you have signed it to say that you have received a full and
clear explanation of its operation. The installer is legally required to complete a commissioning checklist as a means of
complying with the appropriate Building Regulations (England and Wales).
Installations carried out in England and Wales must be notified to Local Area Building Control either directly or through
a Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to the customer who
should, on receipt, write the Notification Number on the Benchmark Checklist.
The filled in Benchmark Checklist/Service Record by the installer will be required in the event of any warranty (UK and
Ireland installation)
After servicing, complete the relevant “Service Interval Record” section of the Benchmark Checklist contained in the
Installation & Servicing instruction booklet.

WARNING
WARNING
TO TURN OFF
Push in the control knob slightly and turn it clockwise to the OFF position. If you wish, instead of turning to OFF you
may turn to PILOT and leave the pilot running permanently. The pilot consumes very little gas (0.2kW).

Battery Spark ignition
Depress the control knob and turn it slowly anticlockwise to
the pilot position. Depress the control knob, sparks will
be heard and the pilot should light which can be seen
below the right centre radiant. If the pilot did not light try
again, by depressing the control knob. When the pilot has
lit keep the knob depressed for a further 10 seconds to
activate the flame supervision device, otherwise the pilot
will go out again. Once the pilot is established turn the
control knob to the desired setting.
Piezo Spark Ignition
Push in the control knob and turn it anti-clockwise from
OFF position towards the pilot position until you feel
some resistance. With the knob still pushed in, pause for
one to two seconds and then continue to turn to pilot .
The piezo operates and two ‘clicks’ will be heard and the
pilot lights. Keep the control knob pushed in for a further
10 seconds before releasing. The pilot should remain lit
and can be seen below the right centre radiant. If the pilot
did not light or failed to remain alight, push in the control
knob slightly and turn clockwise to OFF position and
repeat the lighting procedure. Once the pilot is
established turn the control knob to the desired setting.
If the flames are found to be extinguished and the control knob is NOT in the OFF position, the control knob must
be turned to OFF and no attempt should be made to relight the gas until at least 3 minutes have elapsed.

The fire is fitted with a flame supervision and Oxygen depletion device. This will shut the fire off if the pilot goes out for
any reason. This may be caused by the Oxygen level in the room falling below a prescribed level due to a poor flue pull
etc. If the fire keeps going out you must have it checked by a ‘Gas Safe’ registered engineer.
The pilot burns at all settings, giving a localised extra glow to the left of the centre right hand radiant. This localised
glow will be more visible at the lower settings, and is quite normal.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The ignition spark generator, containing the battery (size
AA), is located at the lower rear RH side. Unscrew the cap,
anti-clockwise, off the battery holder. Remove the battery,
and replace with a new one. This should be inserted ‘flat
end first’ - this is the negative terminal. Replace the cap
carefully to avoid cross-threading it.
Please note: Consumable items, such as batteries, are
not covered by the guarantee.
If you want to relight a hot fire, wait 3 minutes before
doing so.
LIGHTING WITH A TAPER
In the unlikely event of failure of the ignition spark, the
fire can be lit with a taper. First light the taper and apply
it to the pilot and then press the control knob and turn it
anti-clockwise to pilot position. After the pilot is lit,
keep the knob pushed in for a further 10 seconds before
releasing. The pilot should still remain lit.
NOTE: The control knob is situated
on the top right hand side of the
fire and is marked with the symbols
OFF, Pilot , 1, 2, 3, 4.
The control knob is connected to the gas tap by a universal
coupling and will have a ‘loose feel’ to it, which should not
cause concern.
NOTE 1: Instructions for lighting are also in the lift up lid of the bezel on the fire.
NOTE 2: The control knob should be pushed in slightly before turning and always set to one of the stated positions.
