Bronze Version This is the same size as the Stone Version with only minor differences. If in doubt about assembling the Bronze version please call 01325-327221. Burner Construction Every CVO Fire is tested for 1 hour at the factory. This includes 44 individual function checks. This ensures the appliance is supplied in a fully working condition. Take some time to review the burner construction taking note of the positions of the main components and connections.
Installation Instructions A qualified person should complete all building work; a qualified and competent person to all relevant national legislative controls must carry out the installation of gas burners, mechanical extraction, flue systems and remote control units. Final responsibility for the complete installation is with the Gas Safe Engineer who connects this appliance to the gas supply.
The gather supplied with the fireplace must be used. This can be inserted into the fireplace opening and then lowered onto the enclosure before being sealed in place with silicone fire cement. The enclosure should be fitted within the opening with the front edge “flush” with the final finished wall. The enclosure once in place, should be drilled and secured to the fireplace opening using plugs and screws. This should be done taking great not to damage the burner or remote system.
IMAGE #1 The gather must be used in all installations. The gather mounts directly on top of the enclosure. It is possible to insert the gather into the fireplace opening first then slide in the enclosure and lower the gather on to the enclosure. This allows for a smaller construction opening. ITEMS N – M – O These form the back sections. Very carefully lift over the burner and lock into the top slot. Fit item N and O first then fit M last and slide them together to form a complete back.
IMAGE 2 & 3 Once in place the gather must be secured with the screws provided. Then sealed with a high temperature silicone fire cement. At this stage the electrical mains connections, manual wall switch and the gas supply connected ready for testing and commissioning.
IMAGE 4 & 5 ITEMS N – M – O These form the back sections. Very carefully lift over the burner and lock into the top slot. Fit item N and O first then fit M last and slide them together to form a complete back. The stone is fitted loose to allow it to expand. ITEM A – B These are the side pieces. Apply a small amount of Fire Cement to the sides of the black enclosure. Ensure that no cement touches the stone. Carefully slide in the side pieces of stone.
IMAGE 6 & 7 ITEM C Carefully insert the rear shelf ensuring the sloping part is facing forward. Ensure that the pilot assembly on the burner is not disturbed.
IMAGE 8 & 9 ITEMS D & E Carefully insert the small in fill stone sections on both sides.
IMAGE 10 & 11 ITEM F Fitting the Shelf requires two people. Take care not to chip the stone on the sides.
IMAGE 12 The front shelf locates under the two clips inside the enclosure this ensures the shelf is in the correct position for fire operation and the shelf cannot move. IMAGE 13, 14 & 15 – Fitting the Stone Trim The stone facia can now be fitted providing the wall surface is perfectly level both vertically and horizontally. Important: If the wall is not level, it should be skimmed until level. Fractures in the facia / surround can occur if fitted to a wall with an uneven surface. See image below.
WARNING: The stone trim is supplied in 6 pieces. Take time to review the polished sides and unpolished sides. The unpolished side must be bonded to the wall. To bond the stone use high temperature silicone fire cement or a high temperature instant grab adhesive. UPPER TRIM The upper trim must be fitted to allow the stone shelf to be removed when the fire needs to be commissioned and also for servicing. To do this a small gap of 2mm gap is required under the side trims before they are bonded to the wall.
ITEMS L – J – K Use Fire Cement on the sides and along the top to bond the stone to the wall. The stone should be central and spaced equally on both sides. Take note of the comments on the previous page regarding spacing the lower pieces [see image on page 23]. LOWER TRIM. ITEMS G – H - I Using Silicone Fire Cement bond the two smaller sections to the wall ensuring they are inline with the upper trim. Take part G and bond this to the three lower struts ensuring it is in line with the rear trim pieces.
IMAGE 16 This is the final finished assembly with the stone in place. WARNING – FRONT STONE This is a “Floating Hearth” to protect the user from the flame. It must not be leant on or heavy items placed on it. Failure to observe this will result in the stone being damaged.
Positioning the Magic Eye The Magic eye is supplied within the burner housing. Great care should be taken when handling this component. The eye should be positioned on the wall under the lower stone pieces with the curved/domed face forward. There must be direct “line of sight” between the hand set and the magic eye to ensure the hand set works correctly and efficiently.
Commissioning the Fire Use the sheet on Page 3 to record the results of the commissioning procedure. This will allow the CVO technical team to resolve any installation issues that arise. Before starting the fire check it complies with the instructions detailed earlier in this manual. Check the Data Plate to review the required gas type and pressure. Light the appliance to allow air to be purged from the system. This may take a long time depending on the pipe work.
WARNING: At all times the gas pressure must be within +/- 1 mBar of the rated stated on the data plate. For example a G20-20mBar Natural Gas Appliance must be 19mBar to 21mBar. Failure to observe this will render the appliance unreliable and possibly dangerous. 5. Ensure all other gas appliances in the home are switched off. With the appliance switched off test the inlet pressure. Does it comply with the above instructions? Write down the result in the commissioning sheet.
TECHNICAL HELP SECTIONS Fault Diagnosis/Troubleshooting Every CVO fire is tested in the factory and give a 40 point check to ensure it operates correctly. It is highly unlikely it would not operate when installed as designed. The biggest cause of installation problems with this fire are caused by incorrect GAS PRESSURE. This is normally due to ignoring the instructions in the section “READ THIS FIRST” where is clearly states to check the gas pipe work before installing the fire.
Oxygen Depletion Pilot System The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an atmosphere sensing device. If for any reason any part of the pilot assembly is to be replaced ALL the assembly including the pilot burner, thermocouple, and electrode must be exchanged complete for an original manufacturer's pilot assembly only. This atmosphere sensing device is not adjustable and must not be put out of action.
Burner Flame The flame on this type of appliance is normally directed towards the rear of the enclosure. This is normal due to the opening size and flue system. The flame will never stand “upright”. It is to be expected that over time the surface on the rear of the enclosure will tarnish. This is typical “wear and tear” for a gas fire. If the flame is drawn under the shelf this highlights a serious installation fault and the appliance must not be operated until the cause is found.
Quick Reference Fault Diagnosis Symptom Check List The system “beeps” all the time. There is a fault diagnosis system built into the battery remote. The remote gives out a sequence of “beeps”. This is a code which indicates a fault. See page 38 for details. Appliance clicks but no spark or weak spark. Check spark lead is connected properly. Check spark electrode is in the correct area and the gap correctly distanced to the pilot. Check for a good spark. Check the spark is in the right area.
