4.0 SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued) This appliance required a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following; 225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone. 125mm (5in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone. 125mm (5in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715. Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off. The opening wall must be non-combustible and have adequate flat surface for appliance sealing.
4.1 DEBRIS COLLECTION SPACE The mounting depth of this appliance is 250mm. In accordance with BS 5871, minimum debris collection volumes are required behind the installed appliance. These are shown below, and as Dimension X on the fireplace diagram on the previous page. CLAY//CEMENT LINED OR BLOCK FLUE WHICH IS NEW,, UNUSED,, OR PREVIOUSLY ONLY BEEN USED WITH A GAS FIRE. X Dimenssion = 20mm UNLINED FLUE OR CHIMNEY WHICH HAS BEEN USED FOR SOLID FUEL OR OIL BURNING APPLIANCES. X Dimenssion = 60mm 5.
6.0 PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES (continued) Some flue boxes may require minor adaption when fitting the fire using the cable fixing kit. The firebox, base of the flue box, and the hearth may be drilled to allow plugs and screws to secure installation. It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue box is well sealed to any back or infill panel. Note: The DEPTH dimenssionss shown are incclussive of any bacck or infill panelss. 7.
.0 PREPARING THE APPLIANCE (continued) Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use where concealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to fit around the outside of the pipe and sleeving. NOTE : Failure to fit grommet can affecct the operation of the appliancce. Do not insstall or use the appliancce without the sealss in placce.
10.0 GAS SUPPLY ROUTING (continued) The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends. This appliance is fitted with an inlet restictor elbow. The open end of the supply pipe should be sealed temporarily during the installation of the firebox to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. The appliance firefront is specially notched to allow the gas pipe to pass through when an over hearth supply is necessary. 11.
11.2 GAS CONNECTION Refit the burner tray into the firebox, fit the two screws through the locating holes in the tray legs, and tighten. Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris BEFORE connection. Now disconnect the inlet restrictor elbow from the inlet pipe. Connect the previously installed gas supply to inlet restrictor elbow, and re-fit the restrictor elbow to the inlet pipe of the appliance.
12.0 FUEL BED LAYOUT (continued) 3. Open the bag of 16 moulded coals. All of the coals are the same. Take five coals and place them as shown. Care should be taken to ensure that the coals bridge the gap between the front coal and the four coal supports at the front of the matrix. Care should also be taken not to push the coals right down between the coal supports, as this can detract from the flame picture when the appliance is running. 4.
.1 FUEL BED LAYOUT Pebble Effect Option 1. Refer back to section 12.0 - Fuel bed layout (coal effect option) and follow steps 1 and 2. The front strip and fuel effect matrix used for pebble effect versions are of the same design as coal effect versions, but have a different surface finish. 2. Open the bag of 16 ceramic pebbles. All of these pebbles are the same. Take five pebbles and place them as shown.
12.1 FUEL BED LAYOUT - continued 5. Finally, take the four remaining pebbles and place at the back of the fuel matrix as shown. Once again, the pebbles may be orientated as desired in order to give a realistic effect. Avoid pushing the pebbles down between the supports. The fuel bed is now complete. The fire is designed to operate correctly with the pebbles supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the sixteen pebbles, or change them for a different type.
.1 OPERATING THE FIRE (continued) To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release. A safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled sufficiently to allow the magnetic valve unit to reset itself. 14.
14.5 TESTING FOR SPILLAGE Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run the smoke match across the opening. All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring.
15.0 SERVICING (continued) 7. Check the area behind the firebox for rubble accumulation and remove. If debris is excessive, initiate remedial work on the flue. 8. Check the flue with smoke pellet for correct operation. 9. Re-fit the firebox using new seals where necessary. 10. Strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly. 11. Clean out the injector and pilot assembly. DO NOT attempt to dismantle the pilot unit. 12. Ensure the injector is aligned squarely with the venturi tube.
16.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Fire sparkss but pilot doess not lig ght No gas to fire, check isolators are open. Pipework blockage, clean out. Air not fully purged, repurge supply or wait longer. Spark earthing to metal work, reset gap correctly. Blocked pilot, clean out internally. Pilot lig ghtss but then goess out Severe restriction in gas supply, clear obstruction. Faulty thermocouple, replace pilot unit. Hold control knob in for longer.

2.0 FIREFRONT This fire is supplied with a particular style of firefront. Use of the firefront will ensure an adequate airflow under the firebed for the correct functioning of this appliance. Compliance with safety standards cannot be guaranteed if another style of front is used. 3.0 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.
6.0 FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section.
