2. SAFETY
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read
the following guide to manual handling:
-The lifting weight of this appliance is 16.86 kg.
-One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
-When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
-Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
-Avoid upper body / top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.
-Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
-Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
-Use gloves to provide additional grip.
-Always use assistance if required.
-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.

6. The front of the fascia is secured by two
screws as shown in figure 7. 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.
7. Remove the window unit by removing the
screws each side of the window frame and lifting the
unit clear.
8. Remove the ceramic fuel effect pack from the
firebox and keep it safe.
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 8. If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.
Remove the control knob after checking.
10. For wall mounted appliances.
Remove the levelling screws and locknuts from below the feet.
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 4.
6.3 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.

6.4 Fitting the closure plate.
(See figure 9).
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.
6.4.1 earth 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.

6.4.2 Wall mounting
(See figure 11).
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.
6.4.3 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
6.3 should have confirmed that the fireplace itself is satisfactory.
