Burner Construction Take some time to review the burner construction taking note of the positions of the main components and connections. WARNING: Removal of the connections from the remote system or the grommets marked “Electric Supply” or “Hard Wire switch lead” as shown in the burner construction drawings will result in the warranty being invalidated. No claims will be accepted for damage caused by the burner being tampered with.

Remote Control System The remote system is supplied with both the hard-wired wall mounted switch and infrared hand held system as standard. Both options allow full control of the fire – ON, OFF, UP, DOWN. The wall mounted switch and cable carries low voltage, (20v). The colour code used in the switch wiring diagrams must not be confused with normal mains colour coding. Use and install both systems. This gives increased reliability and is recommended by CVO.
General Installation Instructions This Fire River unit is intended for decorative purposes. The installation must be in accordance with National Regulations and must be carried out by a qualified installer. Clearances between the fire and all combustible materials must conform to National Regulations. This fire must be installed and used in accordance with these instructions.
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, electrode and injector 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.
Installation & Building Instructions Building and Installation Work 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.
Fitting the Enclosure This fire is supplied with an enclosure and integral burner. IMPORTANT: The appliance is supplied with a fully tested and working gas burner. There is no need to dismantle the burner. This could result in damage to the fire which is not covered by the warranty. No connections should be removed or broken. Removal of any connections will result in the warranty being invalidated. The Fire requires 3 connections: 1. GAS SUPPLY. The fire has an 8mm inlet via an isolation valve.
The original fire opening must be closed, using bricks / blocks infill the opening to the required base of the burner, the void behind the brickwork should also be filled; block work or rubble can be used. (It is advisable to install a solid base inside the fire opening to sit the steel framework to). Builders Opening Height – 1000mm Width 965mm Depth – 450mm – The height is to be reduced once the unit has been fitted.
The magic eye should now be installed as shown on page 19 Once all connections are made the burner should be tested for safe operation and gas leaks. For instruction on how to light the fire see the user section on page 25 Once tested the front shelf vanity cover should be fitted taking care not to scratch the enclosure. Fitting the Optional Fascia If using with the optional fascia, fit the fascia to the fire before rendering the wall around to ensure it fits.
Magic Eye Position Page 19 of 44
Commissioning the Fire This appliance requires a specific amount of ventilation to function as designed (correct flame picture), therefore any unused utility access points in the burner tray must be sealed with Aluminium foil tape. When installing the enclosure into an existing chimney with a flue liner the enclosure & gather must be sealed to the existing chimney to ensure that air cannot flow behind the enclosure. Failure to do this will result in serious damage to the burner unit and enclosure.
Brief the customer on the operation of the appliance and give them the instruction booklet for future reference. The customer must be told of the need for regular servicing of the appliance, this will be at least once a year, and be made aware that no rubbish is to be thrown onto the fire bed. The customer must also be aware that purpose provided ventilation should be checked regularly. If you have any questions, or the fire is not operating correctly, Contact the CVO Fire BEFORE you leave the installation.
Reset the Appliance Hand Held Remote Unit To start your appliance, press both buttons on the hand-held remote unit, hold them down for a minimum of three seconds until the ignition process begins which will run for 19-20 seconds before it turns onto the main burner. After the burner has ignited, it can then be switched to high or low using the button on the right side of the handset. Wall Mounted Remote Switch Unlike the hand held unit, you are only required to press one switch.
Fault Finding & Troubleshooting Symptom Check List Check Remote handset is working properly and battery is charged Unit does not respond. Check power supply has not been switched off Check fuses in spur Check wiring is correct on fire and hardwire switch Remote Handset Does not work Hardwire manual switch does not work. Unit clicks but no spark or weak spark.

Pilot Assembly / Spark Failure The gap between the pilot electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 – 4.5mm and normally adjustment is not necessary (the electrode is very brittle). The spark should jump across the gap between the electrode and the gas outlet on the pilot head. If the ignitor fails, a lighted taper can be inserted into the pilot area to check that gas is reaching the pilot.

General This fire is intended for decorative purposes. Any purpose-provided ventilation should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction. The fire should be serviced regularly by a qualified person. The chimney should be swept before the appliance is installed, and should be swept and inspected regularly to ensure that all of the products of combustion are entering the flue and there is no excessive build up of soot.
