If the fire shuts itself off, do not use the fire, and have the flue and fire checked by a suitably qualified person. • The FR600 is operated by a manual control valve with piezo ignition therefore no mains electrical supply is required. Please take some time to learn the lighting procedure.
• During initial usage, an odour may be evident. This is the starch binder used during the manufacture of the fibre components of the fire, and there are no harmful effects produced. • During the normal operation of the fire some staining may appear on some parts of the fire burner.
Unpacking the Appliance Read these instructions fully before starting to install the fire. Carefully examine the carton for damage before proceeding. If it is obviously damaged, please contact the supplier over whether to proceed. Remove the fire and examine its general condition. If satisfied by the condition, proceed with the installation.
Gas Burner Construction Take some time to review the burner construction taking note of the positions of the main components and the required connections. Before starting to install the appliance review the Data Plate fitted to the appliance for the gas type and pressure requirements of the appliance. Ensure these are correct for the property supply.
Building and Installation Work Prior installation, ensure that local distribution conditions (identification of type of gas and pressure) and adjustment of the appliance are compatible. Installation must be carried out by a Gas safe registered engineer and must adhere to national and local legislations and regulations. The appliance installation should be in accordance with the current version of BS 5871-2, (which is BS5871-2: 2005 +A1: 2007 for the installation and maintenance of gas fires, convector heaters, fire/back boilers and decorative...

Building Work Measuring from the floor surface, the intended location of the base of the enclosure unit is marked onto the wall. The Fire enclosure should be located centrally to the existing flue / chimney at your desired height. The area indicated on the wall must be removed to house the Fire enclosure and burner unit.
If this appliance is to be fitted above a hearth the base of the opening must be a minimum of 50mm from the hearth. If the fire is to be fitted without a hearth the minimum height from the base of the fire is 100 mm.
Connecting the Gas The fire is supplied with an isolation valve mounted within the fire. Connect an 8mm gas line to the isolation valve. See image below. Add the Ceramic Pebbles to the Burner. The fire is supplied with a set of ceramics. Once the fire is installed within the non-combustible chamber and secure the ceramics must be placed on the burner tray before lighting and commissioning the fire.
Page 13
With the glass removed, note the position of the burner and pilot shield. Carefully place the ceramics around the burner bar in an even pattern making sure that no stones are placed on top of the burner or the pilot shield. The ventilation holes in the burner tray should not be blocked (12 slots).
Commissioning the Fire The fire is now ready to be lighted. Refer to the section “Lighting the Fire” within the User section of the manual. Record all of the readings on the Commissioning Check Sheet provided on page 17. • GAS PRESSURE: •...

Commissioning Checklist Flue Check Reading Pass/Fail 1. Flue is correct for appliance 2. Flue Flow test 3. Spillage test Gas Check 1. Gas soundness & let by test 2. Standing pressure test 3. Appliance working pressure (on High Setting) with all other gas appliances switched off. 4.
Oxygen Depletion Pilot System There is a highly sensitive oxygen depletion sensor designed into the pilot light. If any part is damaged the entire unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to bend or alter the flame head, thermocouple or aeration hole. Use only genuine spare parts as similar looking parts from other appliances may well give different or inferior performance and could lead to a hazard.
“User” & ”Engineer”. The parts listed under engineer must be changed by a registered gas engineer only. Spare parts are not returnable. CVO Fire cannot accept responsibility for incorrect parts being ordered. When ordering replacement components or requesting technical assistance, you should at all times quote the following information: Type of fire &...
Removing and Cleaning the Glass Panel The glass will require cleaning periodically. Condensation produced by the products of combustion will create marks on the inside face of the glass panel. The glass used on this appliance is special high temperature glass. If it is damaged or cracked a replacement part must be obtained from the manufacturer.
Burner Removal There should be no need to remove the burner during installation. Removal of the burner during installation will invalidate the warranty. Speak to our technical department. If the burner needs to be removed at anytime for repair follow the steps below: To Remove Burner: •...
Replacing Components Pull the plastic knob off the control knob. Remove the access panel as shown above. This reveals the manual valve and pipe work. The tray holding the manual valve can be withdrawn once the two M4 nuts have been removed from the studs. These can be found inside the valve tray.
