SITE REQUIREMENTS The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in place, providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection and spigot clearance are met. The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 390mm and 440mm wide, and 545mm to 575mm high.
SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued) Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor. A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.
PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietory flue boxes, provided that the minimum dimensions given in the diagram below are complied with. The flue outlet of the fire must not obscure the flue outlet from the flue box.
COMPONENT CHECKLIST QUANTITY DESCRIPTION Firebox and burner tray assembly. Decorative frame, one of several finishes. Cast front fret with separate ashpan cover, one of several designs and finishes. Moulded ceramic fibre combustion matrix. Individual ceramic coals. Moulded ceramic front coal strips. Moulded burner pad.
PREPARING THE OPENING Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal. If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed. Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the firebox in and out of the opening.
11.0 FITTING THE FIREBOX The firebox may be fitted to the opening by using screw fixing or by the cable kit as described in the relevant section. It may be easier to fit the decorative brass fireframe at this stage rather than later if it is a clip-on type. See relevant section for fitting details.
12.0 FUEL BED LAYOUT Place the ceramic burner pad onto the top of the burner as shown, taking care to ensure it is centralised and pushed back against the back locating edge. Check that all of the holes in the burner top plate are unobscured.
12.0 FUEL BED LAYOUT (continued) Place the second row of six coals on the placement pads behind the first row of coals as shown. These coals MUST NOT impede the flames passing through the rear flame holes of the matrix. Ensure that no corners of coals or rough edges project back into the slots.
14.1 OPERATING THE FIRE The pilot is visible through the underside of the left hand front coal strip. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has lit.

14.5 FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this.
14.7 BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire. After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular servicing.
15.2 REMOVING THE FIREBOX Remove the firetray as previously described. Uncoil the fixing kit cables from the rear of the firebox, remove the screwed nipples and tensioning adjusters. The firebox can now be withdrawn from the opening and outwards onto the protected hearth. Inspect the fireplace opening for debris, and if excessive rectify the flue before proceeding further.

FIREFRONT This fire is supplied with a particular style of firefront. Use of the firefront will ensure an adequate airflow under the firebed for the correct functioning of this appliance. Compliance with safety standards cannot be guaranteed if another style of front is used. CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.
FLAME CONTROL LEVER On Natural Gas appliances there is a flame control lever behind the ashpan door that varies the flame colour from blue to a decorative yellow. This lever can be used to vary the flame picture as required. To minimise any carbon deposition that may occur, it is recommended that the fire is used on the COKE setting for the first and last periods (approximately 20 mins.) of each use.
