INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS (continued) As with any flue outlet, some dicolouration of the wall around the terminal may occur with light coloured walls. Always avoid siting the terminal in conspicuous positions on light walls. Terminal siting guidance is given in the next section but as a general rule avoid ledges, drain pipes, projections etc.
SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued) The opening dimensions for insetting the appliance must be; WIDTH between 430 mm and 445 mm, and HEIGHT between 565 mm and 575 mm high. The opening must be these sizes for the full depth of the cavity box in non-combustible applications.
UNPACKING T T HE A A PPLIANCE Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read ALL these instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance. Remove the box containing the cast front fret, and the box containing the ceramic coals and other ceramic firebed components.
OUTSIDE W W ALL A A PERTURE Check the outside flue terminal location using the pilot hole as a guide. Make any adjustments to the fire loca- tion or the surroundings as required to comply with terminal siting. Finally, core drill through the outside wall with a 155mm (6") core drill to provide the location for the outside part of the flue.

INSTALLATION M M ETHOD 1 1 ( ( continued) Centring on the pilot hole already drilled, core drill or chisel a hole 155mm diameter from the inside of the wall. If loose fill cavity insulation material is present, the material will have to be retained by inserting 25 - 50mm of fibre glass or rock wool insulation tightly into the cavity.
INSTALLATION METHOD 2 2 ( ( continued) Mark out the area of the proposed fireplace opening on the wall. Obtain a suitable concrete or steel lintel from a builders merchant. Drill four holes at the corners of the lintel position, squarely over the fireplace open- ing position and centrally under a block joint if possible.
INSTALLATION METHOD 3 3 ( ( continued) the fire is off. Where the flue pipe passes through the inner leaf, a hole 100mm larger in diameter than the flue should be cut to allow an annular 50mm air gap around the flue circumference and a none combustible flue sleeve must be fitted.
OPERATING T T HE A A PPLIANCE The pilot is visible through the specially added hole in the left hand side of the matrix. 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 posi- tion, ensuring the pilot has lit.
BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER ( ( continued) Explain that the fire does not use air from the room but ducts fresh air for combustion and exhaust gasses out through the special flue system. The terminal of the flue system must not be allowed to have vegetation grow- ing on or near and must also be kept well clear of any new buildings, sheds, conservatories etc that may be built nearby.
DISMANTLING A A ND S S ERVICING T T HE B B URNER T T RAY ( ( continued) If the pilot will not stay lit there is a problem with dirt, the gas supply to it, the flue connection or termination, or the thermocouple needs replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTING G G UIDE No gas to fire, check isolators are open. Fire s s parks s b b ut p p ilot Pipework blockage, clean out. does s n n ot l l ig g ht Air not fully purged, re purge supply or wait longer. Spark earthing to metal work, reset gap correctly.

CLEARANCES T T O C C OMBUSTIBLES A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 100mm of the top edge of the fire frame. However the items placed on it must also be able to withstand high temperatures. A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that is complies with the dimensions given below.

The hood should be lifted and pulled outwards to disengage, then remove the door by removing the four screws and lifting away. The glass can be cleaned with a suitable glass cleaner. FIREFRONT - Any dust accumulating in the fire front may be removed using a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth. Heavy stains may be removed by using a damp cloth and mild household detergent.
