2. APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls 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. This is not classified as
“hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of
industrial 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.

3.2 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney, which was previously
used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should be
inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
Page 5
INSTALLER GUIDE

3.3 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not
possible they must be fixed in the open position.
3.4 Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2 and
in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available
3.5 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance. Please
bear this in mind when installing.
3.6 The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance case to a
cornerwall or other combustible surface which projects beyond the front of the
appliance is 100mm at either side. The minimum allowable distance from the outer case
to a non-combustible surface that projects beyond the front of the appliance is 50mm.
This will give sufficient access for servicing.
3.7 The minimum height from the top surface of the hearth to the underside of any
shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is detailed below.
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum height = 750mm.
Page 6
INSTALLER GUIDE
Graph 1. Combustible shelf clearances

• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 750mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm. (See Graph 1)
3.8 The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or shower
or where steam is regularly present.
3.9 In the United Kingdom, as
supplied, this appliance can be installed
in the following situations: -
3.9.1 A masonry chimney with a
minimum diameter of 175mm (7”) free
from any obstruction, and with any
damper or restrictor plate in the chimney
removed or secured, and having a
minimum effective flue height of 3m
(10ft). Note the relevant flat surface area
requirement – See figure 1. A masonry
chimney having a correctly installed flue
liner to BS715 and with a minimum flue
diameter of 125mm is also acceptable.
Chair brick removal may not be required
providing at least 50mm clearance is
available from the flue outlet to any
fireplace component. The appliance is
designed to cater for low lintel
installations (min height 505mm)
providing a minimum distance of
25mm is maintained between the lintel
and the front face of the fireplace (i.e.
25mm rebated fire surround).
3.9.2 To a fireplace that has a precast
concrete or clay flue block system
conforming to BS1289 or BS EN 1806.
The appliance is suitable for
installations conforming to older
versions of BS1289 as well as the
current edition. The flue blocks must
have a minimum width not less than
63mm and a cross-sectional area not
Page 7
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 2. Pre-cast Fireplace
Figure 1. Masonry Fireplace

less than 13,000mm2.Older editions of BS1289 required a cross-sectional area of
13,000mm2. The current revision of the standard requires 16,500mm2. This appliance is
suitable in both cases. The total depth of the opening measured from the finished front
of the fireplace (Including plaster, surround etc.) must be not less than 118mm. See
figure 2.
The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1806 recommend that there should be an air
space or insulation between the flue blocks and the plaster because heat transfer may
cause cracking on directly plastered flues. However, generally this appliance is suitable
for installations under all circumstances unless there is a history of cracking problems.
Remember that faults such as cracking may be caused by poorly built and restrictive
flues, e.g. mortar extrusions, too many bends, flue heights below three metres,
restrictive terminations, etc.
3.9.3 A metal flue box conforming to BS715 with a minimum internal depth of 150mm.
Incombustible mineral wool insulation of not less than 50mm thickness must be applied
to the top surface of the firebox and it must stand on a non-combustible hearth. See
figure 3.
3.9.4 If the fireplace opening is greater than the acceptable dimensions given in
this guide, do not use the back
of a fire surround or marble to
reduce the opening. This may
cause cracking of the surround
back or marble.
3.10 The following flues are
suitable:
 225mm x 225mm
conventional brick flue.
If a flue liner is used, it must be a
minimum of 125mm diameter.
The liner must be sealed to the
surrounding area above the
fireplace opening and to the top
of the chimney. An approved
terminal must be fitted.
 A properly constructed
precast flue conforming to B.S 1289.
 A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 127mm. See B.S 6461 Part 1 for suitable
materials. Metal flue pipes must comply with B.S 715.
Page 8
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 3. Metal Flue Box

3.10.1 The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3m.
3.10.2 The flue must be clear of any obstruction and its base must be clear of
debris.
3.10.3 The flue must be completely sealed so that combustion products do not
come into contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.
3.10.4 The flue must serve only one fireplace.
3.11 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
3.12 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations
 It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 4.
 If a hearth is not fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance from the
base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at least 88mm.
3.13 An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on in
this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
3.14 A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, or the infirm.
3.15 The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the
appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer
should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have
been thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances should
the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers replacement
part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not replaceable.
3.16 This appliance may be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth (N.B.
conglomerate marble is considered as non-combustible). The appliance can be fitted to a
surround with minimum approved class “O” temperature rating of 150 degrees. The fire
surround must be sealed to the wall.
3.17 The appliance must be mounted on a non-combustible hearth in accordance with
Figure 4. The hearth material must have a minimum thickness of 12.5mm (1/2”). The
periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor level to
Page 9
INSTALLER GUIDE

discourage the placing of carpets or
rugs over it.
3.18 Propane gas appliances must
not be installed in a room, which is
built entirely below ground level
(See BS 5871 Pt2).
3.19 Proprietary terminals must
comply with BS 715 or BS 1289.
Any terminal or termination must be
positioned in accordance with BS
5440 Part 1 to ensure that the
products of combustion can be safely
dispersed into the outside
atmosphere. Where the appliance is
connected to an unlined brick chimney it is generally unnecessary for the chimney pot
to be replaced or for a terminal to be fitted unless the flue has a diameter smaller than
170mm.

Remove all the items carefully to prevent damage. Take special care when handling the
ceramic components. Some items may be contained in the packaging fitments -
Examine the packaging carefully before discarding. Check that all the items are present
and undamaged.
4.2 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.
4.3 The Flue Restrictor
This appliance is supplied with a flue restrictor for use where the flue draught is
excessive. The restrictor must not be fitted where a precast flue or a 125mm flue
liner is used. For flue liners greater than 125mm and all other installations the restrictor
should be fitted. There may however, be certain exceptional circumstances where fitting
the restrictor causes the fire to fail the spillage test. In such cases the restrictor will have
to be removed. After removal conduct the spillage check again.
The restrictor is packed flat with the appliance and will require bending prior to fixing.
Bend the restrictor as shown in figure 5.
Fit the restrictor as shown in figure 6 using the two screws provided.
Page 11
INSTALLER GUIDE

4.4 Appliance Preparation
 Remove any transit tape and packing and
inspect for any evidence of mishandling which
might affect the performance. Each unit is flame
tested before it leaves the factory and as a result
there may be slight discoloration around the
burner ports. There may also be slight thermal
cracking across the burner surface that is perfectly
normal and is not detrimental to performance.
 Remove the two surround securing screws
(See figure 34). Remove the outer surround by
gently pulling the base of the outer surround
forward whilst lifting clear of the case support
bracket.
 The burner assembly is retained by one screw
set in the front leg - See Figure 7. Remove the
screw and carefully remove the burner assembly by
lifting and sliding forward from the firebox. The
burner is produced from a soft ceramic material and
should be handled carefully.
 A foam seal is supplied which will
need to be attached to the rear face of the
firebox frame on all three sides. Ensure
that all joints are butted together to
prevent air gaps.
4.5 The Gas Supply Pipe
8mm rigid tubing must be used to
connect the gas supply to the appliance.
An olive and nut are provided for
connection to the “T” connector supplied
with the appliance. The “T” connector
can be rotated to allow connection from either side (along the front of the fire) or the
rear. The “T” connector includes a valve for isolating the gas supply.
4.5.1 If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then, before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the sealed grommet at the back of the firebox and run to the
“T”connector.

5. FIREBOX INSTALLATION
Method 1.
5.1 Cable Retention
 Cables and eyebolts are
supplied for the retention of
the appliance. Ensure that
the internal fireplace
components are sufficiently
sound to take the eyebolts
and wall plugs. These
should be fitted as shown in
figure 8 using the wall plugs
and a No.10 drill. Use only
the fibre wall plugs supplied
(or similar). Never use
plastic plugs instead of the
fibre plugs supplied.
 Assemble one end of the
cable to the top of the fire
by passing it through the
small round hole and
locking by positioning the
cable end in the adjacent
slot. Pass the other end of
the cable through the
eyebolt & hole in the
lower side of the appliance
and fit adjusters as shown
in figure 9.
 With the adjusters fully
screwed in, carefully
manoeuvre the appliance
into the fireplace opening.
Take up any slack on the
cables, and tighten cable
nipples into position.
 Tighten the appliance into the fireplace opening by turning the adjuster nuts to
compress the sealing foam sufficiently to provide an effective seal. Do not overtighten.
Page 13
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 9. Cable adjustment
Figure 8 Cable Retention Method

If the sealing foam does not fully compress, then the adjusters and nipples may require
to be slackened and the cable pulled up tighter before re-tightening the adjuster.
Do not cut off any excess cable, instead coil up the cable against the flange, as it may be
required for servicing purposes.
Method 2
5.2 Front Fixing to Fireplace Surround
1. Make sure that the fireplace front surround
area is sound enough to take the rawlplugs and
woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a
suitable cement.
2. Place the hotbox centrally in the fireplace in
the position in which it is to be permanently
installed. If a concealed connection is being
used, insert the hotbox into the fireplace feeding
the supply pipe through the pierced hole in the
rear seal.
3. Mark the fireplace front surround through the
four fixing holes in the side flanges of the
hotbox. See figure 10.
4. Remove the hotbox. Drill four holes in the
fireplace front surround at the marked positions
using a no.12 masonry drill.
5. Insert a rawlplug into each hole.
6. Place the hotbox back in position in the
fireplace.
7. Fit a woodscrew through each hole in the hotbox flanges and tighten to seal the box
to the fireplace surround.
5.3 Floor Sealing (All Installations)
 Using the floor sealing tape supplied, seal the bottom of the hotbox to the fireplace
and hearth floor. Run the tape over the burner-fixing bracket.
Page 14
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 10. Front Fixing

6. BURNER INSTALLATION
 Refit the burner unit to the appliance reattaching it to the front leg bracket by the
screw.
 Connect the supply line to the appliance.
 Pressure check the installation pipework for gas soundness. In the United Kingdom
check in accordance with the current edition of BS 6891. In the Republic of Ireland
refer to the current edition of I.S. 813 “Domestic gas installations”. A long brush may be
required to reach some joints.
6.1 Preliminary Burner Checks
Some burner operations can be checked at this stage. Checking now will mean that less
disassembly will be required if any problems are found. A full check should still be
made, however, after final installation.
 If closed, open the isolating valve at the “T” connection.
 Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the “PILOT/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 “PILOT/IGN” position. A
spark should be generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot.
If not turn the control knob back to the off position and repeat the procedure.
 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 release
it. If the pilot does not remain alight, ensure that the air has been purged, that the pilot
orifice is clear and that the thermocouple connections are sound. Replace the pilot unit
if necessary (see servicing section of this manual).
 When the pilot is alight and stable, partially depress the knob and turn to “LOW”.
The pilot should then light the main burner at its low setting. There may be a delay of
up to four seconds between the pilot lighting and ignition of the gas at the main burner.
This is normal and is due to the time required to fill the main burner compartment with
sufficient gas for ignition.
 When the burner is operating properly, partially depress the control knob and
gradually turn it anti-clockwise. The burner flames should gradually increase until the
knob reaches the “HIGH” position.
 When all the checks have been completed partially depress the control knob and turn
to “OFF”.
 If 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.
Page 15
INSTALLER GUIDE

6.2 Reference Pressure Check
The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat input at the inlet pressure shown in the
Technical Specification section 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 situated below the bottom right corner of the burner unit. Check the
pressure with the appliance alight and set at maximum output.
 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.
7. FITTING THE CERAMICS
7.1 Both models
1. Fit the burner tray trim over the front rim of
the burner tray. Push the trim fully down. See
figure 11.
7.2 Fitting Coals to models supplied
with a Coal Ceramic Fuel Effect.
(For models supplied with a Pebble
Ceramic fuel effect see section 7.3)
1. Place the rear base coal in the
firebox. It should rest on the ledges at
the sides and back of the firebox and its
rear face should touch the rear ceramic
wall. See figure 12.
Page 16
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 12. Rear Base Coal Position
Figure 11. Burner Tray Trim

2. Place the front base coal in the firebox
with its bottom front locating over the front
rim of the firebox. Pull the coal forward so
that it locates immediately behind the front
rim of the firebox. See figure 13.
There are two types of loose coals. These are
identified with the letter “A” or “B” on the
underside of the coal.
There are three “A” coals and two “B” coals.
3. Place a type “A” coal between the front
and rear base coals with the letter “A”
upright and so that the coal is against the left
side of the firebox. See figure 14.
4. Place a type “B” coal between
the front and rear base coals as
shown in figure 15. The letter “B”
should be upright.
5. Place a type “A” coal between
the front and rear base coals with
the letter “A” upright. The top of
the coal should rest against the centre
coal of the rear base coal as shown in
figure 16.
Page 17
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 16.
Figure 15.
Figure 14.
Figure 13. Front base coal position

6. Place the remaining type “B” coal
at the right side of the firebox
between the front and rear base coals.
The letter “B” should be upright. The
coal should touch the right side of the
firebox. See figure 17.
7. Place the remaining type “A” coal
between the front and rear base
coals. The letter “A” should be
upside down with its rear face
between the right and centre coals
of the rear base coal. Angle the
coal so that the gap between it and
the type “B” coal to its right is
appreciably larger than the gap
between it and the type “A” coal to
its left but do not have it touching the type “A”
coal. This will give the best flame effect. See figure
18.
7.3 Fitting Pebbles to models supplied with
Pebble Ceramic Fuel Effect.
(For models supplied with a Coal Fuel Effect see
section 7.2)
1. Place the rear base pebble in the firebox. It
should rest on the ledges at the sides and back of
the firebox and its rear face should touch the
rear ceramic wall. See figure 19.
2. Place the front base pebble in the firebox with
its bottom front locating over the front rim of the
firebox. Pull the pebble forward so that it locates
immediately behind the front rim of the firebox.
