INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE Registered Installer, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 as amended. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
FLUE TERMINAL POSITION The minimum acceptable dimensions from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are shown below and listed in the table It is important that the position of the flue allows the free passage of air across it at all times. The minimum acceptable space from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are specified below (Fig.
SHELF POSITION The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum distance of 300mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional overhang over 150mm.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION OF FIRE UNPACKING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER Carefully lift the combustion chamber out of the carton. Remove the loose item packaging carefully from the pack. Check the contents as listed :- DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS APPLIANCE IF THE GLASS PANEL IS BROKEN OR NOT SECURELY FIXED TO THE FIREBOX.
PREPARATION OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OPENING (INTO STUDDED WALL) All combustible parts of the studwork must be set at the distances as shown below in Fig. 4 & 5. Fig. 4 Minimum 50mm at sides Minimum 50mm at rear Combustion Chamber Refer to Fig.
PREPARATION OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OPENING (INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY BREAST) An opening should be constructed to the following dimensions in the existing chimney breast. Fig. 8 Lintle must project 150mm either side of the Minimum Width 730mm opening if Maximum Width 780mm cutting into an existing chimney Minimum Height 540mm...

INSTALLATION OF THE GAS SUPPLY (INTO STUDDED WALL OR EXISTING CHIMNEY BREAST) Before installing the combustion chamber, decide from which side or if a rear connection to the gas supply is required. Plan the pipe run to enter the below the firebox from the left, right or rear and connect to the inlet elbow.
SPECIFYING THE FLUE SYSTEM & ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS This product requires a minimum vertical flue length of 150mm (6 inch). The horizontal length can then be extended up to a maximum of 1600mm, giving a total depth from mounting flange to outer wall of 2000mm. The standard flue kit supplied with the product comprises the following components :- 1off...

In instances where a large depth cavity wall, chimney breast is encountered, or if the installation requires a flue termination to the left or right hand of the combustion chamber, the overall length from the centre of the flue spigot can be increased up to 1600mm as shown below in Fig.
Fig. 15 90 degree elbow Flue Terminal Additional Flue 250mm to 150mm Starter Pipe Length e.g. 1000mm to 410mm be fitted onto elbow Telescopic before telescopic Section section is fitted, to take into account variation in wall cavity depths Combustion Chamber PREPARATION OF THE WALL / MOUNTING The appliance and flue pipes must be installed at right angles to the mounting...
PREPARATION OF THE FLUE HOLE Mark the position of the centre of the flue on the inner wall. (See Fig. 16 on previous page for position). Cut hole for outer flue pipe. There are two possible methods to achieve this, either core drill or via hammer and chisel. To core drill, proceed as follows :- Drill a pilot hole through the wall, in position as specified in figure 16 on previous page.

The starter pipe is attached to the appliance by placing it over the spigot on the combustion chamber and locating the mounting flange over the weld studs that protrude from the top panel on the combustion chamber. (See Fig. 18 below) Fig.
FITTING THE FLUE PIPES TOGETHER The flue pipes are located by pushing the sections together and clamping using the clamps provided. As with all balanced flue appliances ensure that the flue sections are fitted together horizontally. The clamps are fitted together as shown below in Fig. 20 & 21 Fig.
2.10 FITTING THE FLUE TERMINAL The flue terminal locates over the telescopic flue section and is clamped as per the other flue sections. The flue terminal must not protrude out of the wall further than 150mm. This is indicated by the ridge on the terminal itself.
2.11 FITTING THE TERMINAL GUARD With the flue terminal in position, place the terminal guard over the top of the flue terminal and mark the position of the holes on the outer wall. Remove the terminal guard and drill the 4 off 6 mm holes. Insert the raw plugs into the drilled holes, replace the terminal guard over the top of the flue terminal and attach to the wall using the No.12 x 40mm screws provided with the terminal guard.
2.12 REMOVING / RE-FITTING THE GLASS FRAME ASSEMBLY The glass frame is held in position by hooking the top flange over the combustion chamber opening at the top as shown in Fig. 24 below. Fig. 24 Glass Frame Assembly locates over lip on top of combustion chamber lid, and drops onto flange as shown.
SECTION 3 INSTALLATION OF FIRE FITTING THE FUEL-BED LOGSET The gravel material should then be first layed around the base of the combustion chamber as shown below in Fig. 26, leaving the rear section as shown to allow the fitting of Log “A” Fig.

Fit Log “B” into position on left hand side of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig. 28, using the groove in Log “A” as a guide for placement. Fig. 28 Fit Log “C” into position on left hand side of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig.
Page 23
Fit Log “D” into position on left hand side of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig. 30, using the groove in Log “A” as a guide for placement. Fig. 30 Fit Log “E” into position at centre of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig.
Page 24
Fit Log “F” into position at right hand side of centre of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig. 32, using the groove in Log “A” as a guide for placement. Fig. 32 Fit Log “G” into position at right hand side of the fuel-bed base log “A”as shown below in Fig.
Page 25
Warning : Use only the logs supplied with the fire. When replacing the logs remove the old logs and discard them. Fit a complete set of logs of the correct type. Do not fit additional logs or any logs other than a genuine replacement set.
LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE IMPORTANT : IF THE BURNER IS EXTINGUISHED FOR ANY REASON YOU MUST ENSURE THAT YOU WAIT A FULL FIVE MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RE-LIGHT THE FIRE. Fig. 34 Pilot Control Main Burner Knob Knob Locate the control valve on the appliance, it is situated below the combustion chamber in the centre.
Page 27
To adjust the heat input via the remote handset :- Press the “up” button to light the main burner and adjust the heat input to the maximum setting. (7.5kW heat input). Press the “down” button to reduce the heat input to the minimum setting (3.5kW heat input).
Page 28
noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the fire and will soon disappear. AFTER THE PILOT FLAME HAS BEEN EXTINGUISHED, IF YOU WISH TO RE- LIGHT THE APPLIANCE YOU MUST WAIT AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TRYING TO RE-LIGHT THE APPLIANCE. Finally, hand the Installation and Maintenance Instructions and the Users Instructions over to the customer and explain the operation of the fire.
REMOVAL & RE-FITTING OF THE TRIM ASSEMBLY The aluminium trim is attached to the lid of the combustion chamber by hooking the retaining lip on the rear face of the trim assembly over the top of the combustion chamber lid as shown below in Fig. 36 & 37 Fig.
Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a GAS SAFE registered engineer. It is a condition of Flavel Firesguarantee scheme that this is carried out by a competent person i.e a GAS SAFE registered Engineer in accordance with these servicing notes.

4.2.3 Loosen the pilot pipe, disconnect the ignition lead from the electrode and disconnect the thermocouple from the pilot assembly. 4.2.5 Remove the 2 off fixing screws which hold the valve mounting plate to its mounting bracket and lift the valve and its mounting plate away from the combustion chamber.
Page 32
4.4.6 Re-assemble with an new pilot assembly, and gasket, ensuring than an even seal around the pilot assembly is obtained. Carry out a gas tightness test after re-assembly. Replacing the Batteries in the Ultrasonic Receiver 4.5.1 Remove the ultrasonic receiver as described in section 4.3 4.5.2 Remove the rear cover of the ultrasonic receiver and remove the 4 off AA sized batteries, replace with new item and refit in reverse order.
