SITE REQUIREMENTS APPLIANCE LOCATION If fitting this appliance with a decorative frame (excluding the Ellingham front) it cannot be installed with the base of the appliance less than 150mm from the floor level. The frame requires a minimum clearance to allow air to circulate. If this appliance is fitted less than 150mm from the floor, then it will require a hearth to protect the floor. The hearth should have a minimum dimension of 12mm thick, projecting 300mm in front and 150mm either side of the appliance.
STUDWORK INSTALLATION Gazco recommend building the enclosure from the following materials: Metal Studwork Non-combustible board: Masterboard or Promafour - NOT PINK BOARD Heat Resistant Plaster: Purimacho (any spider cracks that develop after installation will need to be rubbed down and refilled with Purimacho heat resistant filler to stablise). Ensure all distances to combustible materials are maintained. If a studwork installation is used (eg.
MASONRY INSTALLATION Please note this appliance has been primarily designed for studwork applications. However, there are circumstances where the appliance could be installed in a block or brickwork fireplace using different methods and materials for the final effect. THIS VOID MUST BE VENTED TO PREVENT HEAT BUILD UP AROUND THE APPLIANCE. This appliance is not suitable for installation onto a combustible wall. Remove all combustible material from the area shown, see Diagram.
PRE-INSTALLATION REMOVING THE GLASS FRAME Whilst supporting the top, lift the glass frame using the handle, up and over the lower edge. Remove the glass door by removing the 2 side trims. These are held on by magnets. Remove the 2 screws at the front of the burner unit. Lift out the bottom slotted trim. Note the orientation of the battery box for reassembly. Disconnect the battery lead from the battery pack attached to the lower slotted trim. Remove the screws at the base of the glass frame.
The gas supply enters through the silicone panel located on the left-hand side on the rear of the outer box; this will need to be slit with a sharp knife prior to passing the supply pipe through. Only the horizontal terminal section can be reduced in size. To find the length: Measure from the outside of the wall to the stop on the 90° elbow. Add 10mm to the outlet end. Measure from the edge of the slots closest to the wall. Mark around the flue.
MASONRY CHIMNEY INSTALLATION The appliance can be installed into brick and block construction or chimney breast and finished with a plasterboard and skimmed finish. This product can also be used in conjunction with the Gazco Chimney Renovation kit, see separate instructions for details. There are 2 methods of installation into a masonry chimney Edge finish Installation. Installation with a decorative front. Carefully read the relevant section for the installation method required.
ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION Example enclosure VENTILATION The void into which the cassette is fitted must be ventilated to prevent a build up of heat. If the void is sealed then it will be necessary to fit high level vents on both sides of the enclosure with a minimum free area of 150cm2 each. These vents should take cold air from the room and return warm air back into the room.

COMMISSIONING Complete the Commissioning Checklist at the front of this manual covering: — Thermocouple soundness checks. This is to include ensuring the thermocouple is secure on the pilot bracket assembly, lead connection and integrity. — Flue checks — Gas checks — Log layout - flame picture For working pressure test, use the access panel at the gas connection ensuring the burner is in position. Refer to Installation Instructions.
SERVICING/FAULT FINDING CHARTS SERVICING REQUIREMENTS IMPORTANT – The glass panels on this appliance should be checked for any signs of damage on the front face of the glass panel (scratches, scores, cracks or other surface defects). If damage is observed, the glass panel must be replaced and the appliance must not be used until a replacement is installed. Under no circumstances should the appliance be used if any damage is observed.
FAULT FINDING CHARTS IGNITION FUNCTIONAL CHECK 1 PILOT WILL NOT LIGHT Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, (e.g. soot, etc.) which could short the spark, clean the area. No Operate the valve control system in the manual mode via the remote. Is there a spark? Consult User Instructions and retry. Yes Yes Does the pilot light? No No Is the control being operated correctly? Yes Check alignment of pilot burner head. Change the ignition lead, see Replacing Parts, Section 6.
No Replace the lead, retry. No Has the ignition lead become detached from the control box? Correct and retry. Check the tab on the pilot burner is not damaged. Either repair tab or replace pilot burner and retry. Is the control system being operated correctly? Check handset batteries are OK. Replace if required. Check handset is on manual. Check if handset lock is off. Check batteries to the control unit. Replace if required. Retry with handset and touch pad (if applicable).
SERVICING GENERAL Remove the screws at the base of the glass frame. All main components can be replaced without removing the appliance from its installation.
