FIRENZA RADIANT CONVECTOR GAS FIRE Installation and Maintenance Instructions Hand these instructions to the user Model No’s FFIRZ1MN & FFIRR0MN are for use on Natural Gas (G20) at a supply pressure of 20 mbar in G.B. / I.E.
CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION In Great Britain :- It is law that all gas appliances are installed only by a CORGI registered installer in GB, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and use) Regulations 1998. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire is suitable for hearth mounting or wall mounting. It must not be fitted directly onto a carpet or other combustible material. It must not be fitted to combustible walls. This fire is suitable for the following hearth / surround types: Non-combustible hearths / surrounds.
Brick / stone built chimneys and any chimney or flue which has been used for an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The base of the chimney/flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc. Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off. Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.
The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm wide, and between 510mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum flat surface of 20mm (10mm each side) around the opening to ensure that the closure plate can be sealed to the fireplace opening.
1.8.3 Fitting to Pre-Cast Flue Installations. The pre-cast opening must be a minimum of 122.7cm 2 or equivalent cross-sectional area and have a minimum effective flue height of 3 metres. The flue spigot restrictor must be removed when installing into pre-cast flue applications. This appliance has been test ed for use in a pre-cast flue block complying with BS 1289.

Closure plate. Fit the closure plate to the fireplace opening and ensure that it has a flat sealing area of at least 10mm sealed on all sides. See Fig. 3 below Dimensions stated are for closure plate supplied Fig. 3 Closure Plate Dimensions...
HEARTH FIXING With the closure plate fitted as described on page 10, loosen the locknuts on the front feet. If a side gas connection is to be used, reverse the rear foot on that side, to clear the supply pipe. Place the fire into position and adjust level by rotating the feet, then re-tighten the locknuts.
GAS TIGHTNESS Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a manometer. Turn on the main gas supply and light the fire as described in section 3.2 and carry out a gas tightness test. Check that the gas pressure is 20.0 mbar (± 1.0 mbar), 8.0 in w.g. +/- 0.4 in w.g.
Checking for Clearance of Combustion Products Close all doors and windows in the room. Remove the dress guard. Light the fire and turn to the maximum position. After 5 minutes hold the smoke match as shown in Fig. 5. Whilst hold ing the smoke match in the correct position, approximately 5mm below and inside the lower edge of the centre of the canopy.
IF SPILLAGE IS DETECTED The cause must be discovered and the fault corrected. If the fault cannot be cor- rected disconnect the appliance from the gas supply and seek expert advice. Possible causes of spillage from the appliance are:- chimney restriction, down draught or insufficient air supply to the room.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a Corgi registered engineer. The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for positive up-draught in the chimney.
Fig. 7 Lifting the case out of the rear locating slots Fixing slots REMOVING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY FROM THE FIRE Remove the case as described in section 4.1.1. Disconnect the pilot and remove. Remove the four burner fixing screws as shown below in Fig.
REMOVING THE GAS VALVE FROM THE FIRE Disconnect the appliance from the gas supply. Remove the case as described in section 4.11 Disconnect the main pipe, inlet pipe & pilot pipe from the valve, then remove the push fit thermocouple and ignition lead, as shown below in fig.
REMOVING THE ODS- PILOT ASSEMBLY Note : Because this appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing ODS-pilot it is not possible to replace the thermocouple separately, because the thermocouple position is factory set to a tight tolerance. Any replacement of parts on the pilot requires a complete new pilot assembly.

OPERATING THE FIRE Light the pilot by depressing the control knob at the “off” position and turn anti-clockwise (with the control depressed) to the second position marked *. When the pilot lights, (pilot can be seen through the central ceramic plaque) hold the control knob down for 10 seconds.
Page 24
LIGHTING WITH A SPILL Important do not light with a wax taper In the unlikely event of the piezo ignition unit failing to light the fire, turn the control knob to the OFF position, and wait a minute or so for the gas to disperse. The fire can then be lit by using a spill.

Fig. 2 CLEANING & RE-ASSEMBLING THE RADIANTS The ceramics may discolour slightly over a period of time, this is normal for radiant fires. Any dust or small soot deposits that accumulate on the ceramics can easily be cleaned. Carefully remove the ceramics and brush gently with a soft brush. To remove the ceramic, remove the dress-guard as shown in fig.
Page 28
REPLACING THE RADIANTS When replacing the radiants, always ensure that they are correctly located as shown in Fig. 4 below, with the front bottom face of the radiant plaque sitting against the support bracket as shown. Fig. 4 Ceramic Plaques correctly located Support Bracket Due to our policy of continual improvement and development the exact...
