2. APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall
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.
* When converted using Kit 0595221
The appliance data label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can be seen by
removing the lower frefront casting.

Figure 1. Hearth and Fireplace Opening Dimensions

Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant
British Standard Code of Practice.
3.2 In the United Kingdom, as supplied, this appliance can be installed in the
following situations: -
3.2.1 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). 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.
3.2.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations
! It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 1.
!
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 72mm.
3.2.2 To a fireplace incorporating a metal flue box conforming to BS715 with a
minimum internal depth of 195mm. Incombustible mineral wool insulation of not less
than 100mm thickness must be applied to the top surface of the firebox (See figure 2)
and it must stand on a non-combustible hearth. See figure 1.
3.2.3 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
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.)
Page 7
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 2. Metal Flue Box

must be not less than the dimension shown in figure 3.
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.
3.2.4 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.
3.3 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.
! 200mm diameter factory
made insulated flue manufactured
to BS 4543.
! A properly constructed precast flue conforming to B.S 1289 or BS EN 1806.
!
A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 175mm. See B.S 6461 Part 1 for suitable
materials. Metal flue pipes must comply with B.S 715.
! Single wall, twin wall or flexible flue liner of minimum diameter 125mm. The
materials used are stainless steel or aluminium as specified in B.S. 715.
3.3.1 The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3m.
Page 8
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 3. Pre-cast Fireplace

3.3.2 The flue must be clear of any obstruction and its base must be clear of debris.
3.3.3
The flue must be completely sealed so that combustion products do not come into
contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.
3.3.4 The flue must serve only one fireplace.
3.4 The flue must conform to BS 5440: Part 1 in design and installation.
The flue, measured from the bottom of the fireplace opening to the bottom of the
terminal, shall be not less than 3m in actual vertical height. When calculated in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex A, the minimum equivalent
height of the flue
shall be 2.0m of 125mm dia. flue pipe.
3.5 The flue must not be used for any other appliance or application.
3.6
Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not possible
they must be fixed in the open position.
3.7
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.
3.8
If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop any
draughts.
3.9 The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth (N.B.
conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The appliance can be
fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O”-150°C surround. The hearth material
must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least
50mm above floor level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets (See figure 1).
3.10
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by
the convector box top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should
be made good if necessary. The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a
good seal with the convector box can be made.
Page 9
INSTALLER GUIDE

3.11 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.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 150mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm. (See Graph 1)
3.12 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.
3.13
The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or shower
or where steam is regularly present.
3.14
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.
3.15 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
Page 10
INSTALLER GUIDE
Graph 1. Combustible shelf clearances

3.16 Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a room, which is built entirely
below ground level (See BS 5871 Pt2).
3.17 If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from the area covered by the outer surround. The cladding
must also not touch the surround. (See figure 4).
We suggest that the actual surround is used as a
template to mark the area for combustible
cladding removal and that this area is increased
by at least 2mm all round.
3.18 The minimum allowable distance from the
outside of the appliance case to a corner wall
having combustible material or any other
combustible surface which projects beyond the
front of the appliance is shown in figure 5.
For access purposes the recommended
clearances to non combustible surfaces are
shown in figure 5.
Page 11
INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 5. Appliance dimensions
Figure 4. Removal of
Combustible cladding

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.
3.20 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.
3.21
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, or the infirm.

5. FIREPLACE CHECK
5.1 Fireplace check
5.1.1 Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 3.2. This may
entail removing the fireback and infill material behind the fireback.
5.1.2 Fireplace general condition
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that the convector box can be
installed without it rocking and so that a good seal can be made at the bottom front of
the box. The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered
by the convector box top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces
should be made good if necessary. If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with
combustible cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area covered by the outer
surround. The cladding must also not touch the surround. (See figure 4). We suggest that
the actual surround is used as a template to mark the area for combustible cladding
removal and that this area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
5.1.3 Soundness for appliance attachment
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1) By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2)
Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together
with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 9 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the
proper tools and equipment.
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
the rawlplugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back and towards the centre of the
fireplace floor are sound enough to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas have
deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with a suitable cement.
5.1.4 Installations using a metal flue box
The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a minimum
100mm layer of mineral wool or equivalent insulation. (See figure 2).
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
Page 14
INSTALLER GUIDE

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.
6. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the electronic ignition system
performs satisfactorily.
Fit the battery to the ignition block located below the burner tray at the left side (see
figure 7). The positive terminal (+) is to the top as you insert.
!
Depress the slider control as far as it will go. This should close the ignition circuit.
Sparks should be seen tracking from the electrode pin to the pilot tip. See figure 8.
! If there are no sparks make the following checks.
! Check condition of battery and that it is correctly
fitted.
! If the above is satisfactory, check the ignition circuit
and components - see the servicing section in this
manual.

Figure 8. Slider control

7. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any direction. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for isolating the gas
supply and a pressure test point.The ‘T’ connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at
this stage. The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
7.1 Concealed Supply Pipe Connection
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 opening at the back of the convection box (near
the left side) and run to the ‘T’ Connector at the front
The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the convection box must be
kept clear of the area which will be taken by the convection box when it is installed. A
template is supplied to aid the installation of the pipe run.
We recommend the following method for installing with a concealed supply pipe:
1. Cut the template to the shape shown by the "Debris catchment area". Note that the
areas are different for fireplaces with conventional brick flues and precast flues.
2. Place the template on the fireplace floor (printed side upward) with the front line
level with the front surface of the fireplace. The centre line of the template should line
up with the centre of the fireplace. Tape the template securely in this position.
3.
Make sure that the fireplace is clear of all material over the full area covered by the
template including that marked "Debris catchment area".
4.
Install the supply pipe to run through the thick line marked "Supply pipe entry" and
up to the inlet ‘T’connector position. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet ‘T’
connector is 30mm above the fireplace floor. The inlet elbow should be removed from
the appliance and fitted to the supply pipe at this stage. Remove the template.
Note: If
the supply pipe connection is to be from the right side, keep the template, It will be
useful for bending the pipe later on (See section 9).
7.2 Side Supply Pipe Connection
The appliance is designed to allow a side supply pipe to run in front of the front
surround and through a cut- out at either rear bottom corner of the fire front casting. For
side connection, final installation of the supply pipe should be left until the appliance is
installed in the fireplace. For a right side connection the pipe will have to be formed to
clear the burner unit mechanism.
Page 16
INSTALLER GUIDE

8. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION
8.1 Appliance Preparation
1. 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
discolouration around the burner ports.
2. Disconnect the control linkage from the burner
unit by removing the shouldered screw which joins
the control linking bar to the control pivot unit.
See figure 9.
3. Detach the burner unit from the convector
box by removing two screws - See figure 10.
Lift the burner unit clear.
4. Fit the two small ‘U’ section seals to the
bottom edges of the convection box side
flanges (See figure 11).
5. Fit the two lower case support brackets to
the convection box side flanges. See figure
12.

Page 18
INSTALLER GUIDE
6. For concealed connection only: Pierce a
hole in the seal at the back of the
convection box. See figure 13. The seal
must envelop the pipe. If the hole is larger
than the pipe, seal it with tape. Do not
pierce the seal unless the supply pipe is to
pass through it.
7. Fit the upper case support strip to the
top of the convection box, using three
screws inserted from the back of the
appliance. See figure
14.
8. Colourway only
Detach the slider
knob by removing
and discarding two
screws. Attach the
slider knob extension
bracket to the slider
arm using two of the
screws supplied in the
bag containing the extension bracket. Attach the slider
knob to the slider extension bracket using the other
two screws supplied in the bag containing the
extension bracket. See figure
15.
9. There is a length of self
adhesive foam seal supplied
with the fire. This will need to
be fitted to the outer rear edges
of the side and top flanges of
the convector box. Cut the
foam seal to the required
length. Be careful not to stretch
the seal when measuring.
Remove the protective backing
from the foam seal and fit this
to the rear of the top flange
(See figure 16). Figure 16. Fitting the foam seal

8.2 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.
Fit the restrictor as shown in figure 17 using the two screws provided.
9. CONVECTION BOX INSTALLATION
9.1 Method 1- 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 convector box centrally in the
fireplace in the position in which it is to be
permanently installed. If a concealed connection
is being used, insert the convector box 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 convector box. See figure 18.
4. Remove the convector box. 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 convector box back in position in the fireplace.
7.
Fit a woodscrew through each hole in the convector box flanges and tighten to seal
the box to the fireplace surround.

9.2 Method 2 - Cable Retention
1. Make sure that the relevant
areas at the fireplace back are
sound enough to take the
eyebolts. If these areas have
deteriorated due to prolonged
use they should be made
sound with a suitable cement.
2. Drill four holes in the rear
wall of the fireplace for the
eyebolt plugs. The holes
should be drilled within the
range of positions shown in
figure 19 using a no.12
masonry drill. The holes
should be equidistant each side of the centre line
of the fireplace to ensure that the appliance
finishes centrally in the opening when tension is
applied to the cables.
3. Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the
fibre plugs supplied with this appliance - Never
use plastic plugs instead of the fibre plugs
supplied. Screw the eyebolts into the plugs.
Make sure that the bolts are secure.
4. Place the convector box unit close to the
fireplace but allow sufficient access into the
fireplace opening so that the cables can be threaded through
the eyebolts and returned through the back of the convector
box. If a concealed connection is being used, insert the
convector box into the fireplace feeding the supply pipe
through the pierced hole in the rear seal.
5. The convection box has two holes at each side of the
convected air opening. Insert one end of each cable (one
cable each side) from the back through the lower of the two
holes and return the end through the upper of the holes. See
figure 20. Give the cables a pull so that they grip against
the convection box flanges.
6. Thread the cables through the upper eyebolts in the rear
wall and then through the lower eyebolts. Return the cables through the holes near the
bottom of the convection box back panel and through the "V" shaped brackets near the
