3. APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses a fuel effect and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic
Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure
to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to
ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release
of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and
servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any
dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on
the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items
are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly
labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive
hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we
recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or
drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or
drinking.This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.

5.1 Unpacking.
The carton contains the following:-
1off Fire assembly.
1off Ceramic fuel effect (In packaging inside firebox).
1off Closure plate.
1off Smoke match tube.
1off Olive & olive nut for gas line connection
1off Literature pack
Remove all the items carefully to prevent damage. Some items may be contained in
the packaging fitments - Examine the packaging carefully before discarding. Check
that all the items are present and undamaged.
5.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
After confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram
smoke pellet and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside
that the smoke exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable.
Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke
indicating a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few
minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may
need remedial work – Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow
through the flue.
5.3 Appliance preparation.
5.3.1. Stand the fire upright.
5.3.2 Remove two transit screws from the upper
back panel (See figure 4).
5.3.3. Remove the control knob by pulling clear of
the gas tap spindle.
5.3.4. Remove the control bezel by unscrewing two
screws (See figure 5).
5.3.5. Detach the fascia by removing the screws at
the sides (See figure 5).
Spring the bottom corners of the fascia outward and
pull the bottom of the fascia forward to clear the
fixing brackets. Lift the fascia upward and forward
to clear the top location (See figure 5).
5.3.6. The front of the fascia is secured by two screws as shown in figure 6. These
screws have been tightened to avoid damage to the fascia during transit. These
screws must be slackened to enable the customer to remove this section of the
fascia. Slacken the two screws, detach the window surround by sliding it upward and
then swinging the bottom forward. Lift and store carefully.

5.3.7. Remove the window unit by removing the
screws each side of the window frame and
lifting the unit clear.
5.3.8. Remove the ceramic fuel effect pack from
the firebox and keep it safe.
5.3.9. Check ignition spark.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking
that the piezo electric spark ignition system
operates satisfactorily.
To initiate the spark, temporarily refit the control
knob to the tap spindle. Depress the control
knob and while keeping it depressed,
slowly turn anticlockwise through
approximately 60° to the 1/IGN position. A
spark should track from the electrode pin
to pilot burner. If there is no spark or
incorrect tracking, check that the spark
gap is between the limits shown in figure
7. If the spark gap is correct, check the
ignition wiring.
Remove the control knob after checking.
5.3.10 For wall mounted appliances.
Remove the levelling screws and locknuts
from below the feet.
5.3.11 If the fire is fitted to a recessed fireplace, an
extension flue spigot up to a maximum total length of
125mm may be used. The extension must be a tight fit
over the flue spigot and be secured by two self tapping
screws. Note the minimum clearance required as shown
in figure 2.
5.4 Fitting the closure plate.
(See figure 8).
The closure plate has an opening at the bottom for a
central gas feed pipe. The gap between the pipe and this
opening should be sealed with tape after connection. If a
central feed pipe is not required the opening should be completely sealed with tape.
5.4.1 Hearth mounting
(See figure 9).
The closure plate must be fitted and sealed to the hearth and fireplace opening using
a suitable heat resistant material. If necessary cut the closure plate but make sure
that it overlaps the fireplace opening sufficiently to allow satisfactory sealing.

INSTALLER GUIDE

5.4.2 Wall mounting
(See figure 10).
The closure plate must be fitted and
sealed to the hearth and fireplace
opening using a suitable heat resistant
material.
If necessary cut the closure plate but
make sure that it overlaps the fireplace
opening sufficiently to allow satisfactory
sealing.
The bottom of the appliance must be at
least 100mm above any carpet or other
floor covering. To achieve this, the bottom
of the flue spigot opening must be at least
565mm above the finished floor covering.
5.4.3 Check the flue pull with closure
plate fitted by applying a lighted match or
smoke match to the flue spigot opening in
the closure plate and observe the smoke.
If there is a definite flow continue with the
installation. If not check the fitting of the
closure plate. The fireplace flue pull check
described in section 5.2 should have
confirmed that the fireplace itself is
satisfactory.

6.1 Installing to a hearth.
6.1.1 Place the fire centrally on the hearth making sure that the spigot lines up with
the spigot hole in the closure plate. Gently slide the appliance into place being
careful not to scratch the hearth. The spigot must enter the closure plate to a depth
of at least 15mm.
6.1.2 Level the fire by loosening the lock
nuts and turning the levelling screws in the
feet up or down as required while they bear
on the hearth. When the fire is level and
square to the wall, retighten the lock nuts.
6.2 Wall mounting.
The fixing hole positions in relation to the
flue spigot opening are shown in figure 11.
Mark these positions on the wall. The
positions can alternatively be marked by
placing the fire in position and marking the
wall through the holes in the back panel.
Drill and plug the holes using no.10 wall
plugs. Place the fire in position and secure
with four no.10 x 2in. woodscrews.

6.3 Gas supply connection.
8mm rigid tubing must be used to connect the gas supply to the appliance. An olive
and nut are provided for connection to the inlet “T”
connector on the appliance. The connector can be
rotated to allow connection from either side or the
rear. The connector includes a valve for isolating
the gas supply.
The closure plate has a cut-out for rear connection.
Seal the gap between the cut-out and the supply
pipe.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas
soundness. In the United Kingdom check in
accordance with the current edition of BS6891. In
the Republic of Ireland refer to the current edition
of IS 813 “Domestic gas installations”.
6.4 Fit the ceramic fuel effect and window.
6.4.1 Place the ceramic fuel effect in position.
Make sure that it rests on the ledges at the sides
of the firebox and that its back face is touching the
horizontal rib at the back of the firebox (See figure
12).
6.4.2 Replace the window unit. Secure the window
unit to the firebox the two screws removed
previously.
7. CONTROL AND PRESSURE CHECKS
7.1 Check control settings.
7.1.1 If closed, open the isolating valve at the inlet ‘T’ connector.
7.1.2 To help in checking the control positions while the fascia is detached, place the
control bezel over the gas tap spindle and against the tap bracket. Temporarily secure
to the tap bracket with one of the screws.
7.1.3 Fit the control knob over the gas tap spindle.
7.1.4 Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the 1/IGN
position until some resistance is felt. Keep depressed at this position to purge air from
the system then, while keeping it depressed, turn fully to the 1/IGN position. A spark
should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot.
7.1.5 When pilot ignition has been achieved, keep the control knob depressed for
approximately ten seconds to allow the thermocouple probe to warm up and then

7.1.6 Check all the control settings. These are:-
7.2 Check burner pressure.
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shown in
section 1 of this manual. No adjustment is necessary. Check the burner pressure by
fitting a pressure gauge at the test point. The test point is on the pipe connecting the
gas tap to the lower injector. Check the pressure with the appliance alight and set at
maximum output (Control knob position 4).
After checking, turn off the appliance. Remove the pressure gauge and replace the
test point sealing screw. Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum output position
and test around the sealing screw for gas soundness with a suitable leak detection
fluid.
If all the above checks are satisfactory, continue with the installation. If not, check the
control and ignition circuitry and components as described in the servicing section of
this manual.
7.3 Test for spillage.
A spillage test must be made before the installed appliance is left with the customer.

7.3.3 Leave the appliance on for seven minutes.
7.3.4 Insert the smoke match tube (with lighted match) into the side of the appliance
and against the back panel. Position the tube so that it is horizontal, against the back
panel and with its top edge touching the side of the draught diverter box. Slide the
tube until the indent in the tube is level with the diverter side (See figure 13).
7.3.5 The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the diverter box. If an
appreciable amount of smoke escapes from above the flue spigot or from the sides
leave the appliance alight at the maximum setting for a further ten minutes and then
repeat the test. If the test is still unsatisfactory disconnect the appliance and seek
expert advice.
7.3.6 If the above test is satisfactory, open all internal connecting doors, hatches, etc.
in the room. Keep all doors and windows that open to the outside of the building
closed. recheck for spillage as above. If an extractor fan is installed in the same room
as the appliance or a connecting room, check that spillage does not occur with the
fan operating and all doors and other openings between the fan and the appliance
open. If the test is satisfactory continue with the installation. If the test is not
