•The FR920HE has been designed and tested to the requirements of EN613
and BS7977-1:2009 and is suitable for use in all EU countries with matching
gas categories.
•The FR920HE is a high efficiency gas fire for use with a chimney or flue
system.
•The FR920HE incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot,
with variable setting between low and high settings and is operated via
remote control hand set. The system is powered by a battery pack therefore
no mains electrical supply is required.
•Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a low frequency noise
may be heard, this may be more noticeable on the low setting.
•The FR920HE 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 a blocked flue. If this regularly occurs do not attempt to relight the
appliance until a qualified engineer has checked it.
•The installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer in
accordance with National Regulations.

Page 5 of 60
Spirit Fires Limited. 4 Beaumont Square, Aycliffe Industrial Park, Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
•Clearances between the fire and all combustible materials must conform to
National Regulations.
•This appliance is supplied as a complete fireplace package including gas fire
burner unit, enclosure and fascia. This fire must be installed and used in
accordance with these instructions.
•The builders opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a non-
combustible material.
•For some countries a non-combustible hearth must be fitted in front of the
fire in accordance with National Regulations (e.g. United Kingdom).
•Flue System: The FR920HE can be used with a brick/precast chimney or
using a flue liner with a minimum diameter of 125mm (5”). If installing in a
chimney this should be inspected prior to installation to ensure it is working
correctly. If the chimney has previously been used with a solid fuel
appliance it will also require sweeping. Consult a flue specialist to inspect
and test the flue prior to installation. The chimney must have a minimum
effective height of at least 2 metres. This is not necessary if the flue has
previously been used with a gas appliance or if it is a new installation. (see
technical section for full details on the flue requirements). Any flue damper
plate or flue restrictor must be removed.
•Gas Supply: This appliance is intended for use on a gas installation with a
governed meter. The FR920HE is available for Natural Gas only. Inlet is via
an 8mm connection via the isolation valve provided with the fire. The gas
connections must be in accordance with National Regulations. If the gas line
is longer than 1.5mtrs then the gas line should be increased in diameter to
15mm and possibly larger depending on the final length to ensure a steady
gas supply. The fire is supplied with an isolation valve inside the appliance.
This must be used. When closed this will allow the complete burner and
control assembly to be disconnected for maintenance or repair in
accordance with National Regulations.
•The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing device. If for any reason any part of the pilot assembly
is to be replaced ALL the assembly including the pilot burner, thermocouple,
electrode and injector must be exchanged complete for an original
manufacturer’s pilot assembly only. This atmosphere sensing device is not
adjustable and must not be put out of action. The pilot light shuts off both
the main burner and pilot if evacuation of the combustion products is
interrupted (blocked chimney). If the flame supervision device operates
no attempt should be made to re-light the gas fire until at least 3
minutes have elapsed. To relight the fire consult page 52. If the
device operates again do not use the fire until the reason for operation is
found – consult a Gas Safe Engineer.
•The FR920HE is battery operated; therefore no mains electrical supply is
required. Power to the appliance is provided by 3 high power alkaline 1.5V
batteries (AA size) these batteries can be changed to Nickel Metal Hydride
rechargeable batteries providing they have a minimum capacity of 2200
mAh. A set of high power alkaline batteries (AA size) will last a minimum of
1 year. The life of the battery will depend on how the appliance is used and

Page 6 of 60

Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
the battery manufacturer and quality. The fire is operated by the handset
provided. Please take some time to learn the lighting procedure and
operation of the hand set. The handset uses 2 x 1.5v AA batteries. The
handset shows the condition of the batteries. (see section on remote system
and changing batteries).
•The chimney or flue (unless new or previously used with a gas appliance)
must be swept before installation if it has been used for solid fuel.
•The fire is supplied as “frame-less” to create a letterbox style opening in the
wall. If choosing to fit a stone trim around this great care must be taken of
the choice of stone and the bonding method to ensure the stone is safely
fitted to the wall and cannot crack with heat.
•Failure to install the appliance correctly could lead to prosecution. In GB
(Great Britain), the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e.
GAS SAFE registered, in accordance with the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION
AND USE) REGULATIONS, the building regulations (or the building
regulations (Scotland) or the building regulations (Northern Ireland). In IE
(Ireland), the appliance must be installed by a competent person and
installed in accordance with the current edition of I.S.813 Domestic Gas
Installation, the current building regulations.
•Glass: The glass front of this fire acts as a dress guard, conforming to BS
1945 (1997) however, a fireguard conforming to BS6539 (1997) must be
used to protect young children, the elderly or infirm. The appliance MUST
NOT be used if the glass safety screen is broken, removed or is open.
•Smells: During initial usage, an odour may be evident. This is the starch
binder used during the manufacture of the fibre components of the fire, and
there are no harmful effects produced.
•Flame: During initial starting of the appliance condensation may be seen on
the glass and the flame may be unstable or blue. This is normal with this
type of appliance and will disappear when the fire and flue system are
warm.
•During the normal operation of the fire some staining may appear on some
parts of the fire burner. This is quite normal due to the heat generated by
the appliance.
•This is a high efficiency gas fire and generates a considerable amount of
heat from the top of the appliance. Care must be taken to prevent any
damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishing or decoration, e.g.
many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too
close to the appliance. Combustible material i.e. wall panelling or wallpaper
must be removed from behind the fire and fire trim.
•It is advised that this appliance is serviced annually (every 12 months), as it
is more likely to provide trouble-free operation.
•The fire does not require purpose built permanent ventilation as it conforms
to BS 5871-2: 2005 +A1: 2007 – Annex B (has a net heat input of ≤7kW
and a flue flow of ≤70m3/h
•This appliance becomes hot during operation therefore all areas must be
considered to be working surfaces.

Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
Remote Control System: The fire uses an RF remote system to operate this
is a new and modern design new to the market.
The hand set supplied must be held in the palm of your hand for a few seconds
until the safety lock is removed and the green light comes on. The hand set will
indicate room temperature, the current flame setting – high to low – the
battery levels in the main unit and the hand set and also the error codes when
there is an issue. The error codes are shown in the troubleshooting section of
the manual.
Take some time to read how the remote handset operates before
trying to use the appliance.
Glass Panel: The design has been created to hide the fixings for the glass. At
first it may seem difficult to remove the glass however it is very
straightforward if the instructions are followed. Take some time to learn how
the glass is removed and fitted.
Before starting to install the fire the glass panel must be removed. Once
removed from the fire ensure the glass is stored safely until it is required.
Removing/Fitting the Glass Panel
The glass is easy to remove as long as the steps set out below and images are
followed.
To remove the glass a 13mm open ended spanner is required. DO NOT
REMOVE THE BOLTS. DURING THE REMOVAL PROCESS THERE SHOULD BE
NO NEED TO TOTALLY REMOVE THE BOLTS. IF THE BOLTS ARE REMOVED IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT TO REFIT THEM TO THE FIRE.
When removing the glass great care needs to be taken with handling of the
glass. Ceramic glass is very brittle and is easily cracked or chipped. If the glass
is damaged in any way then a replacement piece must be purchased from the
manufacturer of the gas fire. No other glass is allowed to be used on the fire.
Using non-manufacturer glass on the fire will negate the CE approval and
render the appliance dangerous. The warranty is also void.
Ensure that the seal around the glass is not damaged or broken. If any damage
exists a new seal will be required from the manufacturer before fitting the glass
to the fire.

Glass Removal
1. Remove the side pieces and front air grille.
2. Slacken off the bottom row of bolts to loosen the lower glass bracket and
the hold on the glass.
3. Slacken off the top row of bolts until the top bracket is loose enough to be
flipped forward and pulled out.
4. The glass will now fall forward.
5. Screw the top bolts back in using fingers until seated – they do not have to
be tight. This creates a gap at the top.

Page 11 of 60

Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
6. By holding the glass on both sides lift the glass out of the lower bracket by
moving it up into the gap between the top row of bolt heads and the
fireplace front.
7. Once the glass is clear of the lower bracket it can be lowered down again
into the gap created at the bottom between the lower bolt heads and the
fireplace front.
8. While holding the glass flip the glass top forward and lift out the glass panel.
9. Ensure the glass is stored in a safe place.
Fitting the Glass
Refitting the glass is a reversal of the above procedure.

APPLIANCE INSTALLATION
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification
of type of gas and pressure) and adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
Installation must be carried out by a Gas safe registered engineer and must
adhere to national and local legislations and regulations.
The appliance installation should be in accordance with the current version of
BS 5871-2, (which is BS5871-2: 2005 +A1: 2007 for the installation and
maintenance of gas fires, convector heaters, fire/back boilers and decorative
fuel effect gas appliances- Part 2: Inset live fuel effect gas fires of heat input
not exceeding 15kW, and fire/back boilers).
As stated in the section above there are two versions of this fire:
Version 1 – BS7977 – the fire is designed to be installed into a fireplace
opening with a brick built or pre-cast chimney. The fire is a cartridge that must
be used in a suitable fireplace chamber and sealed.
Ventilation into the recess is provided via the appliance chassis design and the
debris inspection plate in the lower section of the gas fire. This inspection plate
has a 20mm ventilation hole. This must not be blocked. This plate should be
removed during servicing to clear any debris which has collected in the
chimney during normal use. Once cleaned the plate must be replaced.
If installing this fire to BS7977 go to page 10
Version 2 –EN613 – the fire is designed to be used in a new build property
without a chimney. The fire is pre-fitted with a special flue box. This is then
connected to a 125mm flue liner. The fireplace is then built around using stud
work and boards to create a false chimney breast.
If installing this fire to EN613 go to page 21

Spirit Fires Limited. 4 Beaumont Square, Aycliffe Industrial Park, Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
Before Starting
Building work should only commence after a thorough survey of the intended
location of the impending installation has been completed and it has been
established that the unit can be installed and operated without risk to the
owner or tenants of the property or their neighbours.
Chimney
The BS7977 version of the is intended to be used within an brick built chimney
or a brick chimney lined with a flue liner. This must have a minimum diameter
of 125mm [or equivalent area] and a minimum length of 2 metres. If the
chimney has been used previously with a solid fuel fire this must be swept
before installation of the gas appliance. It is advised to perform a smoke test
prior to installation to confirm the chimney is working correctly. The flue must
be sealed to the fireplace enclosure in line with building regulations.
Gas Supply
Consult the Data Plate within the appliance to ensure the correct gas type and
pressure is available within the property. Before commencing to create the
fireplace opening for the inglenook unit note that a gas supply is required. The
gas supply pipe should run into the installed enclosure from either the rear, left
or right hand sides, the gas supply is best run through the left side of the
enclosure.
The fire has an 8mm inlet with an isolation valve and pressure test point within
the appliance. This pressure test point is used when commissioning the
appliance. The gas pipe work should be routed into the enclosure via the
available access holes. If the gas pipe work is over 1.5mtrs in length it is
recommended that the pipe work is increased in diameter from this point to
15mm and possibly 22mm depending on the length to the meter. This will
ensure a stable gas supply.
Hearth
If this appliance is to be fitted above a hearth the base of the opening
must be a minimum of 50mm from the hearth.
If the fire is to be fitted without a hearth the minimum height from the
base of the fire is 100 mm.
When operating the glass on the fireplace becomes very hot. A hearth should
be considered if the fireplace is to be mounted at a height where contact with
the glass may cause injury. See section in manual.

Page 16 of 60
Spirit Fires Limited. 4 Beaumont Square, Aycliffe Industrial Park, Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
Building Work / Fireplace Opening
Measuring from the floor surface, the intended location of the base of the
enclosure unit is marked onto the wall. The fireplace opening should be located
centrally to the existing flue / chimney at your desired height. The area
indicated on the wall must be removed to create an opening to house the
fireplace. In some installations it may be necessary to install a lintel above the
opening, if so an allowance must be made to accommodate this lintel. (The
Fire does not have its own lintel).
The base of the chamber must be able to withstand the weight of the appliance
and must be sealed to ensure that all combustion products enter the flue.
Note: The base must be level – if the base is not level the flame will not be
central in the fireplace and the user will most likely complain.

Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
Fireplace Depth
To comply with BS7977-1 a minimum depth of 326mm is required. This
dimension is from the finished wall to the back of the fireplace opening.
See below image for the construction opening size.
Note: The image shows the brick wall without the render.The fireplace has a
20mm lip to allow the plaster board to be fitted flush to the fireplace to create
a letterbox design.
When measuring the fireplace opening the MINIMUM DEPTH FROM
FINISHED WALL TO BACK OF FIREPLACE OPENING IS 326MM

Page 18 of 60
Spirit Fires Limited. 4 Beaumont Square, Aycliffe Industrial Park, Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
Fitting the Fire
Before fitting the fire run an 8mm gas line into the chamber ready for
connection to the fire. The fire is supplied as a cartridge. Once a non-
combustible chamber has been created in line with the required dimensions the
fire can be lifted into the opening and secured to the chamber.
To gain access to the fire box chamber remove the vanity cover as shown on
page 12. Store the vanity cover safely so it cannot be damaged.
The gas pipe should be fed through the appropriate hole in the enclosure ready
to connect to the isolation valve. See images below.
NOTE:
There must be a clearance of 10mm above the fireplace.
There must be a clearance of 10mm on each side of the fireplace.

Page 19 of 60
Spirit Fires Limited. 4 Beaumont Square, Aycliffe Industrial Park, Newton Aycliffe, County
Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
NOTE:
The fireplace must be positioned within the opening with a minimum of 35mm
clearance at the back. This is critical to ensure the fire operates safely.
The outlet is on the back of the fireplace and must not be obstructed.
This minimum 35mm clearance at the back of the appliance ensures that the
products of combustion are cleared properly into the chimney.
The fireplace has a 20mm lip to allow a clean finish to the plasterboard.
Once positioned the fireplace must be secured to the base of the fireplace
opening using plugs and screws.

Durham, DL5 6XN. Tel : [phone] Web : www.spiritfires.co.uk
NOTE:
The above image shows the final fireplace positioned in the opening with the
plaster board fitted.
The fireplace must be sealed to ensure that the cavity created by the fireplace
opening only allows the air and products of combustion created by the fire flow
upwards out of the chimney.
