10. ALWAYS SWITCH THE FIRE OFF AND
ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME FOR IT TO COOL
DOWN BEFORE HANDLING ANY
COMPONENTS.
11. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS APPLIANCE
RETAINS HEAT FOR A LONG TIME AFTER IT
HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.
PLEASE NOTE
On first lighting your new fire, a slight odour may
occur due to its new condition. This is quite
normal and will disappear after a few hours use.
After some hours use, the ceramic coal pieces
may change colour. This is quite normal.
Some granules will be lost during the lifetime of
the appliance while cleaning etc. to allow for
replacement, surplus granules are supplied with
your new appliance. Keep these in a safe place.
In order to obtain an authentic flame effect, the
burner on this appliance is a granular filled pan
type. Due to the nature of this kind of burner,
there will be various “popping” and flame noises
not usually associated with ordinary gas fires.
As in a real coal fire, these noises are perfectly
normal.
The fire has been designed to give years of
trouble free service. To maintain its optimum
performance, advantage should be taken of the
regular servicing and inspection facilities
available for gas appliances. Annual servicing is
recommended. These instructions are provided
to help you in operating the fire and should be
kept in a safe place.

USER’S SECTION
FUEL EFFECT
This fire is supplied with ceramic fuel effect pieces
to simulate a real fire and a granular bed to
provide even flame distribution across the whole of
the bed. These items are safe to handle and the
coals are designed for easy re-fitting after
removal.
GAS CONSUMPTION
This fire has a maximum gas input of 6.9 kW,
which is equal to approximately 4.25 hours use for
one therm of natural gas.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS -
Manual Version
Figure 1
OFF
IGNITION
HIGH
LOW
For your safety, the fire is fitted with a Flame
Supervision Device (FSD), which will shut off the
gas supply if for any reason the pilot is
extinguished. This device incorporates a fixed
probe, which senses heat from the pilot burner
flame. If the probe is cool, the device will prevent
any gas flow unless the control knob is pushed in
at the IGNITION position.
If for any reason the flames go out or if the fire has
been turned off for any reason, always WAIT FOR
3 MINUTES before attempting to relight.
TO LIGHT THE FIRE
1. From the off position, SLOWLY push in
and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to
activate the spark at the IGNITION
position.
2. Keep the control knob pressed in at this
position for approximately 10 – 20
seconds to allow the Flame Supervision
Device to warm.
3. Release the control knob. The pilot should
remain lit independently.
SELECT THE BURNER FLAME LEVEL
NOTE: When first turned on the flames will appear
predominately blue. The coal bed will take time to
warm up. Although some glow will be seen after 5
– 10 minutes, the full effect will only be apparent
after a somewhat longer time.
1. After lighting the pilot as described above,
turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the
HIGH position. The fire will now ignite.
2. To decrease the amount of flame push the
control knob in slightly and turn to the
LOW position. The fire can now be used at
any desired setting at any position
between minimum (LOW) and maximum
(HIGH).
TO TURN OFF
1. Push in and turn the control knob
clockwise to the OFF position to
extinguish the flames and the pilot flame.
2. If desired he pilot flame can be left on to
make it quicker and easier to light the fire.
Although the pilot is using gas all the time
it is on, the amount used is minimal. To do
this turn the control knob to the IGNITION
position instead of the OFF position as
described above. If the fire is to be
switched OFF for long periods, it is
recommended that the control knob be
turned to the OFF position.
CLEANING
All cleaning MUST be carried out when the fire is
cold. NOTE: Heat is retained for some time after
the fire is switched OFF. Clean the surround and
fender parts with a slightly damp cloth and then
dry. Abrasive cleaners should NOT be used.
Normally the fire should only need dusting. Light
coatings of soot will usually be burnt off during the
normal operation of the fire. If however, particles of
mortar from the chimney accumulate these should
be removed from the coals and back brick by
dismantling them and cleaning with a soft brush. If
you remove the fuel effect pieces, then do so in
the reverse order to that shown in the fuel bed
fitting instructions (pages 9 – 15).
VI-06-09

If soot or other foreign matter has become mixed
with the granular materials and cannot be removed
by hand, remove the contaminated layer and
replace with a clean layer from the bag of granules
supplied with the fire. When levelling ensure that
none of the granules are pushed into the pilot
burner outlet.
If large pieces of debris are found any where in the
fireplace, the chimney and appliance should be
inspected and serviced by a competent person
before further use.

5 GAS SUPPLY PIPE
A nut and olive is provided for the copper pipe inlet
connection.
We would recommend that an isolation tap is fitted
upstream of the appliance to facilitate easier
connection and disconnection.
NOTE: The supply pipe must be of rigid durable
material. Flexible pipe MUST NOT be used.
6 APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
6.1 The appliance base plate should be fitted into
position first. To do this remove the two
screws from the base of the control panel
beneath the control knob. Then disconnect the
compression nut on the top of the isolation
elbow (see Figure 4). The burner assembly
can now be lifted off the base plate leaving
behind the base plate and the isolation elbow.
Place the burner assembly carefully to one
side using the packaging to protect any
surface from damage.
1 Nut
Figure 4. 2 Screws
6.2 Place the base plate into the fireplace
opening with the isolation elbow to the
front. The rear of the base plate should
touch the rear of the fireplace opening.
Ensure that it is in the centre of the
opening and mark the required screw
positions. Note: The base plate has a
number of holes in it for screw fixing. It is
not necessary to use all of the holes, just
the ones that are convenient.
6.3 Once the base plate has been securely
fixed, the gas supply can be connected to
the isolation elbow. Gas connection is by
concealed connection only. Remember to
protect the end of the supply pipe when
passing through walls, cavities etc, to
stop brick dust and debris entering the
pipe and causing a blockage.
6.4 HAVE YOU PURGED THE GAS
SUPPLY PIPES? This is essential to
expel any foreign matter that might be
blown into the valve assembly, injector, or
pilot etc. and cause a blockage.
6.4 Once the gas supply has been connected
and purged then the burner assembly can
be refitted in the reverse order to removal
ensuring that the tabs on the rear of the
base plate fit into the slots on the
underside of the burner assembly.
6.5 CHECK FOR GAS SOUNDNESS
Turn on the gas supply and check for gas
soundness with a suitable leak detection fluid (see
BS 6891).
Please check all joints including the pilot
assembly.
6.6 FUEL BED ASSEMBLY
Please refer to the User’s section for details
on assembling the fuel effect components
(Page 6).
7 FUNCTIONAL CHECKS
Remove the pressure test point sealing screw
from the isolation elbow and attach a suitable
pressure gauge.
Light the pilot and check the correct operation
of the burner at all the flame settings. Refer to
the Operating instructions on pages 4 and 5.
Check that the inlet gas pressure is as stated
on page 6 when the fire is at its highest
setting.
Once the fire has been lit for 5 minutes turn
the gas OFF at the isolating elbow. After a
further 3 minutes turn the gas supply ON
again, if the gas has stopped flowing, the
Flame Supervision Device (FSD) is operating
correctly. Always check that the gas has
stopped flowing even if you hear the FSD
valve close within the 3-minute period.
Turn OFF the appliance and the gas supply
and refit the pressure test point sealing screw.
Turn ON the gas supply and check for leaks
around the pressure test point sealing screw
with a suitable leak detection fluid.

8 CHECK FOR SPILLAGE
A SPILLAGE CHECK MUST BE MADE
BEFORE THE INSTALLED APPLIANCE IS
LEFT WITH THE CUSTOMER. DO THIS
TEST WITH ALL THE COALS FITTED AND
THE FENDER AND ASHPAN IN PLACE.
CARRY OUT THE TEST AS FOLLOWS:
8.1 Close all doors and windows in the room
containing the appliance.
8.2 Light the appliance and set to the HIGH
setting.
8.3 Leave the appliance ON for 5 minutes
then light a smoke match. The match
should be inserted 10mm below the top of
the opening and be pointed upwards at
45° to the horizontal.
Move the smoke match across the
opening. The installation is satisfactory if
all the smoke is drawn into the chimney.
8.4 If all the smoke is not drawn into the
chimney, leave the fire alight for a further
10 minutes at the HIGH setting and then
repeat the test. If all the smoke is still not
drawn into the chimney, inspect the
sealing to the fireplace surround. If the
sealing is satisfactory DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE AND SEEK EXPERT
ADVICE.
8.5 Open all internal connecting doors,
hatches, etc in the same room as the
appliance. Keep all the doors and
windows that open to the outside of the
building closed. Re-check for spillage as
described above. If an extractor fan is
fitted in the same room as the appliance or
a connecting room, check that spillage
does not occur with the fan operating, all
doors, and other openings between the
fan and the appliance open.

10.1 TO REMOVE THE BURNER UNIT
(a) Remove the fender and ash pan cover
together with all the coals.
(b) Disconnect the appliance from the
gas-isolating elbow and remove the
two screws (refer to Figure 4.). The
burner tray can now be lifted up and
away from the base plate. Take care
to protect the pilot head from damage.
NOTE: The burner tray is quite heavy.
(c) Tip the granular material into a secure
bag. We would recommend the
replacement of this inexpensive
material and the ember kit.

from the pilot burner assembly.
(d) Disconnect the electrode lead from the
pilot burner assembly.
(e) Remove the two screws at the front of
the pilot burner bracket (refer to Figure

removed completely as the pilot
burner has a slot in it.
(f) If defective, the whole assembly
MUST be replaced. DO NOT attempt
to replace the individual components
as this could compromise the
operation of the ODS pilot.
(g) Reassemble in the reverse order.
10.3 TO REMOVE THE GAS TAP /
FSD / IGNITION UNIT
(a) Follow 10.1 above to remove the
