This appliance must not be fitted in any room where steam is present (e.g. Bathroom) Warning The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth and be 50mm (2”) above floor level to discourage the over-laying of carpets or rugs etc. There must be a 125mm (5”) clearance underneath the appliance if it uses either a GV34 or GV60 valve unless using the heat shield supplied.
4.3. Installation (Hole in the Wall) Figure 1 Figure 2 – Correct Air Flow 4.3.1. Ventilation When installing a raised chamber fire, it is critical to ensure that the ventilation for the fire (for combustion and cooling purposes) is carefully thought through. Failure to provide suitable ventilation may invalidate your warranty.
They are installed so that every part of any flame or incandescent material will be at least 225mm above the floor; or The manufacturer’s instructions state that a hearth is not required. It is Multiglow’s recommendation that a hearth is used with this appliance. Should you decide that a hearth is not required, then consideration should be given to the safety of the users of the room.
Smoke escaping anywhere other than the correct terminal, or a down- draught or no-flow condition indicates an unsatisfactory flue. The flue may need attention - seek expert advice. Warning 4.4.2. Ventilation In line with Section 2.2 - Ventilation Requirements, make sure that the room or space where the appliance is located is adequately ventilated and that the means of ventilation is suitable.
and the low voltage lead connected to the receiver. Transformers must be connected to the mains supply in accordance to the rules in force. Before securing the burner into position, run the gas pipe as appropriate. Dependent upon the application, use one of the following methods to make provision for burner fixings.
4.6. Connection to Gas Supply Purge the gas supply pipe work to remove air and debris BEFORE connection of the fire. The 8mm pipe should be used to connect valve to an isolating tap, which must be adjacent to the appliance (so that when tap is closed appliance is totally isolated). NOTE: Soft soldered joints should not be used beneath burner tray.
Connect the 800mm lead provided between the motor connections on the Control Valve and the Receiver. Insert 4 x 1.5v AA alkaline batteries into the receiver. Place the receiver unit into position (within heat shield if used). Insert and connect 1 x 9v alkaline battery into the handset. The free air circulation below the burner must be such that the temperature of any electrical or electronic component does not exceed 60 centigrade.
NOTE: In line with the best engineering codes and practices, it is essential that the electrical wiring is protected from accidental damage. It is advised that the flexible cables are placed in a plastic tube or sheath especially where the wiring must pass through a wall or behind a fireplace surround.
