2. SAFETY
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read
the following guide to manual handling:
-The approximate lifting weight of this appliance is 15.5 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 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 licenced to accept such waste. Protective
clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend the
use of suitable gloves to prevent irritation. We also 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.

5.5 Chimney preparation.
5.5.1 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that 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.
5.5.2 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not
possible they must be fixed in the open position.
5.6 Fireplace preparation.
5.6.1 The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O” 150°C
surround.
5.6.2 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
5.6.3 The front of the fireplace should be flat over an area sufficient to ensure a good
seal with the closure plate. The flat surface should extend for a height equal to that of
the closure plate plus 20mm and for a width equal to that of the closure plate plus
40mm.
5.6.4 If the fire is to be fitted against a wall with
combustible cladding, the cladding must be
removed from the area shown in figure 1.
5.6.5 The space between the fireplace front face
and the back of the fascia must not be filled in.

5.7 Fireplace clearances.
5.7.1 The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is 100mm at either side (See figure 2). A
clearance of 100mm should be maintained at the right side in all installations to allow
satisfactory access to the control knob. Although no side clearance is necessary to
non-combustible surfaces on the left hand side we recommend a 100mm clearance
for service access to the fascia side fixings.
5.7.2 Allow a minimum clearance of 150mm from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from non-combustible
materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off for servicing.
For a shelf made from wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
the minimum clearance must be as below.
• Fo a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum clearance = 150mm.
• Fo a shelf deepe than 150mm: 150mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See figure 3).
Important : No combustible material (e.g. Wallpaper, plastic tiling, wood panelling etc.)
must be used on the fireplace wall below the shelf.

Figure 5. Transit screws.

9. Remove the ceramic coal fuel effect pack from the firebox and keep it safe.
10. 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, 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.
11. For wall mounted appliances remove the
levelling screws and locknuts from below the feet.
12. 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

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.
7. APPLIANCE INSTALLATI N
7.1 Installing to a hearth.
1. Place the fire centrally on the hearth making sure that the spigot lines up with the
