SITE REQUIREMENTS The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in situ, providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See diagram below.. The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 380mm and 440mm wide, and 540mm 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 proprietary flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given in the diagram below are complied with. Constructional Note: 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.
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 action is completed.
CABLE FIXING Drill four holes as shown in the diagram and fit the fibre rawl plugs. If the fireplace does not allow for the exact layout shown, A. 250mm the eyebolts should be fixed to give a similar configuration as B.
FUEL BED LAYOUT This fire is supplied with 11 ceramic coals. The coals may vary slightly in size, shape, in order to allow a realistic layout. Firstly, remove the ceramic compnents from their protective packaging, and place the brick panel against the rear of the firebox Place the ceramic combustion matrix onto the burner.
10.0 FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME AND HOOD The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame and hood. The frame attaches to the firebox using either four magnetic pieces, or as a three piece clip-on assembly. The side pieces of the clip on assembly should be pushed into position first, followed by the top bar, which should overlap the sides.
11.2 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.
12.1 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.
14.0 SERVICING Isolate the fire from the gas supply. Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed below. 1. Lay out the dust sheet and tools. 2. Carefully remove the ceramic components. 3.
14.3 REMOVING THE CONVECTOR BOX Remove the burner tray as described previously. Protect the hearth from potential damage. Unroll the coiled tensioner cables from the rear of the firebox. Remove the securing nipples and tensioner adjusters. The firebox is now released from the opening and can be slid outward onto the hearth. Inspect the fireplace opening for debris and if excessive rectify the flue before proceeding further.
15.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Fire sparks but pilot does not light No gas to fire, check isolators are open. Pipework blockage, clean out. Air not fully purged, repurge supply or wait longer. Spark earthing to metal work, reset gap correctly. Blocked pilot, clean out internally. Pilot lights but then goes out Severe restriction in gas supply, clear obstruction.

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.
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 reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this.
