1 APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which
are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause
temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense 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.
The appliance data label is on a tie below the burner and is visible when the bottom front
cover is removed.

2.6 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.
2.7 The minimum allowable distance to a
corner wall or other combustible projection from
the outside edge of the front surround at either
side is 100mm. See figure 1
2.8 The minimum height from the top
surface of the hearth to the underside of any shelf
made from wood or other combustible materials
is as follows:-
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum
height = 750mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 750mm +
12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
See figure 1.
2.9 The appliance must not be installed in any
room, which contains a bath, or shower or where
steam is regularly present.
2.10 In the United Kingdom, as supplied, this
appliance can be installed in the following situations: -
2.10.1 A masonry chimney with a minimum
diameter of 175mm free from obstruction. Note the
flat surface area requirement (Figure 1a). 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. This appliance is
designed to cater for low lintel installations (minimum height 505mm) provided that a
minimum distance of 45mm is maintained between the lintel and the front face of the
fireplace – i.e the fire surround has a minimum rebate of 45mm.
2.10.2 A twin wall metal flue system conforming to BS715, the flue diameter being a
minimum of 125mm (See figure 2) with a minimum internal depth of 250mm.

the top surface of the system firebox and
must stand on a non-combustible base of
25mm thickness.
2.11 The appliance must be mounted
behind a non-combustible hearth with
minimum dimensions as figure 3. (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

3.2 Check Ignition Spark
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the
electronic ignition system performs satisfactorily.
3.2.1 Fit the battery to the ignition block located below the
burner tray at the left side. See figure 4. The positive terminal
(+) is to the right as you insert.
3.2.2 Depress the slider as far as it will go. This
should close the ignition circuit. Sparks should be seen
tracking from the electrode pin to the thermocouple tip.
See figure 5.
If there are no sparks make the following checks.
a) Check condition of battery and that it is correctly
fitted.
b) Check spark gap between electrode wire and
thermocouple tip. See figure 6.
c) If a & b are satisfactory, check the ignition circuit and
components - see the servicing section in this manual.
3.3 Check The Fireplace
The fireplace must comply with all the requirements of section 2.
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that the
convection 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 convection 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

Fig. 6a Limousin fascia fixings
combustible cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area covered by the outer
surround. We suggest that the actual surround is used as a template to mark the area for
combustible cladding removal.
3.4 Fireplace Flue Pull
After preparing the fireplace, carry out the flue flow test as detailed in BS5440: Part 1.
Note - A 13 gramme smoke pellet will generate the required volume of smoke, anything
smaller may give a false pass result.
Observe the smoke. If there is a definite flow into the opening continue with the
installation. If there is not a definite flow, preheat the chimney for ten minutes and
recheck. If there is still no definite flow, the chimney may need attention. Do not fit the
appliance. Seek expert advice.
4 PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR
INSTALLATION
4.1 Gas Supply Connection
8mm Bundy or semi-rigid tubing must be used to
connect the appliance to the gas supply. Centre the
appliance in the fireplace opening taking care not to
scratch or damage the hearth.
If a concealed gas pipe fixing is to be used, offer the gas
pipe through the appropriate grommet. A nut and olive
are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the
elbow at the bottom front of the appliance. The elbow
can be rotated to allow a connection from any direction.
The elbow includes a valve for isolating the gas supply.
4.2 Appliance Preparation
4.2.1 Limousin only: Detach the front fascia by removing two
screws near the bottom inner edges of the fascia legs. Pull the
fascia clear (The top is held to the convection box by two
magnetic discs). See figure 6a.
4.2.2 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 7.

Fig. 10 Cable retention Arrangement
Fig. 8 Burner Attachment Points
4.2.3 Detach the burner unit from the convection
box by removing three screws. See figure 8. Lift the
burner unit clear.
4.2.4 Fit the coal rear support to the burner by
inserting the support through the slot in the burner
tray from the underside. Align the fixing holes and
fasten with the two tapping screws supplied in
the direction of the arrows in figure 9.
4.2.5 Self-adhesive foam seals are supplied
for attaching to the rear of the firebox frame on
all three faces. Make sure that all joints are
butted together to prevent air gaps.
5 INSTALLATION TO FIREPLACE
5.1 Cables and eyebolts are supplied for the retention of the appliance. Ensure that
the interior of the fireplace is
sufficiently sound to take the
eyebolts and wall plugs. If the
fixing areas have deteriorated
due to prolonged use, they
should be made sound with a
suitable cement.
5.2 Drill two holes in the
rear wall of the fireplace for
the eyebolt plugs. The holes
should be drilled in the
positions shown in figure 10
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.
Fig. 9 Coal rear support fitting

INSTALLER’S GUIDE
Page 11
5.3 Insert a fibre plug into each hole. Use the rawlplugs 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.
5.4 Place the convection 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 convection box.
If a concealed connection is being used, insert the convection box into the fireplace
feeding the supply pipe through a suitable gas inlet point.
5.5 The convection box has two holes at each end of the debris deflector. 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 10). Give the cables a pull so
that they grip against the debris deflector flanges.
5.6 Thread the cables through the eyebolts in the rear wall. Return the cables through
the holes near the bottom of the convection box back panel and through the “V” shaped
brackets near the bottom front sides of the convection box. See figure 10.
5.7 Place the convection box fully back into the fireplace opening so that it is sealed
against the fireplace front surround.
5.8 Fit a cable retainer over the bottom end of each cable (see figure 10).
5.9 Pull each cable taut. Push the cable retainers hard up against the “V” brackets.
Tighten the screws in the retainers so that they clamp the cables in position. Apply tension
to the cables by turning the hexagonal adjusters by hand (see figure 10).
5.10 Inspect the installation of the convection box against the fireplace surround. If the
convection box is aligned squarely and the sealing is satisfactory, fully tighten the cable
retainers.
5.11 If the convection box is not correctly aligned, release the tension on the cables by
slackening the screws and turning the hexagonal adjusters fully anticlockwise.
The convection box should then automatically realign itself. Pull each cable taut again and
push the cable retainers back against the “V” brackets. Again, tighten the screws in the
retainers and apply tension to the cables by turning the hexagonal adjusters clockwise as
far as possible.
5.12 Store the free length of the cables in convection box. This will allow easy removal
and refitting of the appliance during subsequent service calls.

Fig. 11 Floor Sealing
Fig. 11A Burner fitting
5.13 Using the floor sealing tape supplied, seal the
bottom of the convection box to the fireplace and hearth
floor (see figure 11). Make sure that the whole length
of the front edge of the convection box is fully sealed.
6 BURNER & FASCIA INSTALLATION
6.1 Burner installation & Gas
connection
6.1.1 Refit the burner unit to the
convection box with three screws. Make
sure that the tab at the right side of the
battery box is in front of the “L” shaped
bracket which projects up from the fire
case base and that the fixing screw is
refitted. See figure 11A.
6.1.2 Reconnect the slider control
linkage firmly to the burner control
pivot with the shouldered screw using a
screwdriver (Not finger tight only).
6.1.3. Connect the supply line to the
appliance.
If connection is from the left side make sure that the pipe is formed to allow the battery
to be removed and replaced by the owner.
If a side connection passing in front of the convection box is required, keep the supply pipe
close to the face of the convection box. The front surround unit has a small cut-out at the
bottom of each side suitable for 8mm pipe to pass through. Check by placing the front
surround in position.

INSTALLER’S GUIDE
Page 13
Fig. 12 Pressure test point
6.1.4 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 check in accordance with the rules in force.
6.2 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.
6.2.1 If closed,open the isolating valve at the inlet elbow.
6.2.2 Depress the slider knob as far as it will go and hold in this position (see section
3.2.2 and figure 5). This should close the ignition circuit and (now that the gas is
connected) simultaneously open the gas tap allowing the gas to flow to the pilot.
Wait a few seconds while the air is purged. The electronically generated sparks should
light the pilot. 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.
6.2.3 When the burner is operating properly, gradually slide the control knob upwards.
The burner flames should gradually increase until the knob is nearly at its highest position.
You should feel some resistance when the slide button reaches the maximum burner flame
position. Sliding further upwards until the knob comes to a stop should then turn the
burner and pilot off. When the above checks have been completed close the isolating
valve on the inlet elbow.
6.3 Reference Pressure Check
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
situated below the bottom right corner of the burner unit. See
figure 12. 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.
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.

Fig. 22 control
8 FULL OPERATING CHECKS
8.1 Check the control
The control position markings on the front fascia are
shown in figure 22.
When first turned on from cold, the flames will appear
predominantly blue.
Please note that, when operating the fire for the first time,
some vapours may be given off which could set off
smoke alarms in the vicinity. These vapours are quite
normal with new appliances. They are totally harmless
and will disappear after a few hours use.
8.1.1 Make sure the slider button is at the off position
(at topmost position marked “O” on the fascia).
8.1.2 Open the isolating valve on the inlet elbow.
8.1.3 Slide the button to the bottom (ignition) position
marked ✩
✩✩
✩. Retain in this position to ignite the pilot. The burner should ignite at its lowest
setting within 4 seconds of the pilot igniting. Keep at this position for a further 10 seconds
to allow the pilot flame to stabilise.
8.1.4 Release the button. The button should automatically spring up to the low heat
position. If the flames go out at this stage or when checking the rest of the setting
positions, try the full lighting sequence again. If the flames fail after two attempts,
investigate the pilot unit.
8.1.5 Gradually slide the button up to increase the burner setting. The burner should be
at its maximum setting at the high heat position shown in figure 22. You should feel a
check to the button movement at this position.
8.1.6 Slide the control button up past the high heat position to the off (“O”) position at
the top of the slide slot. Both pilot and main burner should go out.
While cooling the coals may make some crackling noises. This is quite normal.

INSTALLER’S GUIDE

8.2 Check For Spillage
A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed
appliance with the customer. Make this check with the
appliance fully installed with the ceramics and fascia
casting in position.
8.2.1 Close all doors and windows in the room containing
the appliance.
8.2.2 Light the appliance and set the slide control to the
maximum burning position.
8.2.3 Leave the appliance on for five minutes.
8.2.4 Fit a smoke match into a tube, light it and insert it into
the appliance canopy at the position shown in Fig.23.
8.2.5 The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn
into the appliance. If the smoke is not drawn into the
appliance, leave the appliance alight at the maximum setting
for a further ten minutes and then repeat the test. If smoke is
still not drawn into the appliance, inspect the sealing to the
fireplace surround. If smoke is still not drawn into the appliance, disconnect the
appliance and seek expert advice.
8.2.6 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.
8.2.7 If the smoke is drawn into the appliance, continue with the installation. If the test
is not satisfactory, disconnect the appliance and advise the customer of the cause of
failure.

ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of combustion with
consequent health hazards.
9.8 Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the
flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply slide the control
to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may have formed
during previous use.
If using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This will
also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
This is explained in the Owner’s Guide under the section ‘Operating the Fire’. Point this
out to the customer before leaving.
9.9 Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected by a
competent person (In the UK a CORGI registered person) at least annually.
If the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point out that
by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is situated in a
tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
9.10 For future servicing, please leave your company name and telephone number in
the box provided on page 11 of the Owner’s Guide.

10 SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT
•Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The inlet elbow
for this appliance incorporates an isolating valve).
•This product uses fuel effect pieces, containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these
materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it makes sense 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.
•Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the coals causing an imperfect flame.
•Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.
•Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner. (Installer -
Note that the small round holes towards the rear of the burner plaques are not gas
burner ports. They are simply a consequence of the plaque manufacturing process)
•After servicing, make sure that the ceramic coals are replaced correctly as described in
the installation instructions.
•Always test for gas soundness and spillage after servicing the appliance.
