  • Page 9: Ventilation

    VENTILATION This Appliance does not normally require purpose provided ventilation. However, a second appliance operating within the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation. When commissioning the appliance spillage is detected, then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue.
  • Page 10 Older editions of BS1289 required a cross-sectional area of 13,000mm2. The current revision of the standard requires 16,500mm2. The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1806 recommend that there should be an air space or insulation between the flue blocks and the plaster because heat transfer may cause cracking on directly plastered flues.

    PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES This appliance can be fitted into a number of flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions required for the appliance are complied with. The frame of the fire, any back panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed together so that there is no possibility of leakage between them.

  • Page 13: Installation Of Appliance

    INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE Always ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance. The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the appliance from its carton as described previously and stand on a dust sheet.

  • Page 17: Preparing The Opening

    PREPARING THE OPENING Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke pellet, all of the smoke should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal. If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective measures have been completed.
  • Page 18 Note: In some instances the plastic wall plugs supplied may need to be substituted with fibre wall plugs, if the appliance is likely to heat the screw eyes. If the fireplace does not allow for the exact layout shown, the eyebolts should be fixed to give a similar configuration as possible.
  • Page 19 Push the appliance back into the fireplace, centralise and pull the loose cables through the hole into the firebox. Thread the cable tensioner onto the cable as shown, with the nuts screwed down close to the tensioner head.

  • Page 20: Fitting The Burner Tray

    The isolator tap or restrictor elbow must be fitted to the incoming supply to facilitate servicing. The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends. The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress of dust and dirt during installation.
  • Page 21 If the fire is the remote control version then carefully place the control box in position with the heat shield in place as shown on page 16 and re-connect the burner tray. Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections. With the slide control option please reverse the previous removal instructions taking care to align the linkage system as shown below.

  • Page 28: Spark Failure

    SPARK FAILURE The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described, and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.

    Once the fire has been lit for 5 minutes, turn the gas OFF at the isolating elbow. After a further 3 minutes turn the gas supply ON again, if the gas has stopped flowing, the Flame Supervision Device (FSD) is operating correctly. Always check that the gas has stopped flowing even if you hear the FSD valve close within the 3-minute period.

  • Page 30: Testing For Spillage

    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.
