630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 12.11 Sealing ‘through roof’ and ‘through wall’ penetrations: For ‘through roof’ penetrations, use a Master Flash flashing or equivalent to create a weather-tight seal between the flue and the roof cladding. For ‘through wall’ penetrations, this will require the use of a Wall Thimble. The Wall Thimble will ensure you have suitable clearance from combustibles as well as sealing the penetration.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 12.13 Points to note when planning the Installation of the Escea DV flue: - This flue system cannot be cut to length. Correct lengths must be selected for each installation. For a full list of available flue lengths, contact your Escea retailer. - The listed length of the flue pipe is not the installed length. 1 ½” (38mm) needs to be subtracted for each join to determine the installed length of each piece of flue pipe. E.g. 48” length has installed length of 45”.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 13.0 Fitting the Flue Restrictor: If your flueing configuration requires that you fit a flue restrictor (see graphs in section 12.5, 12.6 & 12.7 of this manual to find out if your configuration requires a flue restrictor), follow the instructions below.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 14.0 Converting to G31 Propane Gas: Where a conversion to propane gas is needed, the following steps should be followed 14.1 First you need to remove the burner by removing the screw holding it in place on the left hand side of the firebox (Fig. 1). Then remove the 1.9mm burner jet (Fig. 2) and replace it with the 1.3mm jet supplied in the kit. Now remove the gas pipe fitting under the pilot (Fig. 3) and remove the No.48 pilot Jet (Fig.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion Finally, put the sticker supplied in the conversion kit in onto the dataplate of the ST900 in the position shown. The sticker must be signed and dated by the installer who has converted the fire.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 15.0 Placing the Fuel Bed Media: Your XFIRE 1200 Gas fire will be supplied with a Fuel Bed kit. Follow the instructions below for the Fuel Bed kit that applies to you. 15.1 Driftwood Fuel Bed: First scatter one layer of the supplied white stones evenly across the base of the firebox, ensuring there are no stones or driftwood pieces inside the pilot flame surround guard. Arrange the supplied driftwood pieces exactly as shown in the diagram and photo below.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 16.0 Checking Operating Pressure: WARNING: The regulator that is supplied with the fire MUST NOT BE REMOVED. Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an Escea fire, will void the limited appliance warranty. Check the operating pressure at the regulator located at the front LH corner of the appliance. This is best done before the facia panels have been fitted to avoid facia damage.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 17.0 Covering up the fire: Before the wall surrounding the ST900 is lined, the fire must be covered up and sealed to prevent plaster board and plaster dust from getting into the fire. It is recommended that the packaging supplied with the fire is used to achieve this. 18.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion The stone frame uses these four hooks for attaching to the fire. Do this by lining up the facia hooks with the receptacles on the sides of the fire. Lift the facia so that the hooks are above the receptacles, and let it drop down into position until it is secure and free from movement. Remove all protective plastic and packaging material before operating the fire. Care should be taken when handling the facia.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 18.3 Cleaning: Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure the the appliance is OFF and completely cold. Glass Panel: Remove as described in section 11. This can be cleaned inside and out with proprietary window-glass cleaner, or proprietary ceramic hob cleaner if badly stained. Test on a small area first. Do not allow the glass to become badly stained as this will be difficult to remove.
630140_1 XFIRE_1200_GB_Manual_R‐emotion 19.0 Operating Instructions: The XFIRE 1200 remote control allows you to turn ON and OFF the fire, control the flame height in the Manual mode, or control the room temperature in the Thermostat mode.
