Connecng the Appliance to the Gas Supply
The gas supply can be connected to the appliance by a concealed fing from the rear. In all installaon condions the gas
connecon should be provided using 8mm (O/D) copper tubing. If the concealed installaon method is chosen, there are
three oponal entry points at the rear/side of the appliance. The relevant ‘knock-out’ entry point should be removed to
allow the gas supply to enter the appliance. No soldered joints should be used with the firebox of the appliance. The blind
grommet which is supplied in the standard fing pack should be used to close up the knock out hole—simply cut a small
cross with a sharp knife in the centre of the grommet—this will then seal around the gas pipe to provide a ght seal.
Under no circumstances should this gas entry hole be le open and unsealed as this can result in flame reversal and can
cause damage to the appliance. Should this occur the warranty to this appliance will be rendered void.
Before connecng the gas supply to the appliance a gas soundness test should be performed to ensure that the exisng
pipe work in the property is sound.
The burner tray can now be reinstalled into the firebox.
The gas connecon should be made to the appliance by the 8mm restrictor isolaon valve supplied with the appliance.
This restrictor elbow is supplied loose and should be fied as per the label on the instrucon packet.
Install the ceramics and the glass panel to the appliance according to these instrucons—see pages 8 and 15.
Test the operang pressure of the appliance by aaching a pressure gauge to the test point of the appliance. This
connecon should take place when the appliance is OFF. Ensure that gas is turned on at the gas meter and purge the air
from the appliance by:
MANUAL CONTROL UNITS: Rotate the control to the (IGN) posion and push in, now press the igniter buon.
Connue to press the igniter buon unl the pilot lights. Check that the spark is being
generated correctly at the pilot assembly. Connue with this procedure unl the air is purged
from the appliance and the pilot is lit. Once lit hold the valve pushed in for up to 30 seconds.
Once the pilot is established and secure, turn the control knob an-clockwise to the (HIGH)
posion. Allow the appliance to run for a minimum period of 5 minutes. Next check that the
inlet pressure to the appliance is at 20 mbar ±1 mbar.
SLIDE CONTROL UNITS: Push down the control lever fully to the (IGN) posion and hold. The spark generator
should spark connuously, ensure the spark is being generated correctly at the pilot
assembly. Connue with this procedure unl the air is purged from the appliance and the
pilot is lit. Once lit hold the lever pushed down for up to a further 30 seconds. Once the pilot
is established and secure allow the lever to rise to the (LOW) posion then li the lever to
the (HIGH) posion. Allow the appliance to run for a minimum period of 5 minutes. Next
check that the inlet pressure to the appliance is 20 mbar ±1 mbar.
Check the operaon of the appliance according to these instrucons—see page 14.
Check the clearance of combuson products
SPILLAGE TEST: To check for sasfactory clearance of
products of combuson, close all doors and windows and
leave the appliance burning on HIGH for five minutes.
Insert a lit smoke match just into the gap a the top centre
of the fire. It is recommended that a smoke match holder
be used. All the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If
spillage occurs allow a further 5 minutes and repeat the
test. If spillage sll occurs turn off the appliance and seek
expert advise to expert advice. If an extractor fan is
situated in the room the spillage test should be repeated
with the fan running. If there is a connecng room with an
extractor fan the test should be repeated with all the doors
to that room open and the extractor fan running.
