INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a CORGI 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.
FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials. The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150 o c. If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind the trim.
There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry.

Table A - Installation Depth Requirements for a Kohlangaz Evo RC being installed into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume (fig. 2). When installing this product into a builders opening / brick-built chimney, the depth required is a minimum of 140mm.
12mm. HEARTHS This appliance must only be installed with either the Kohlangaz Evo semi-circular hearth panel (optional extra - part no. B-56940) or on to a concrete or non- combustible hearth. The hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 12mm with the top surface at least 50mm above the floor.
1.10 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of combus- tion products in the room in which the fire is operated.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION OF FIRE UNPACKING THE FIRE Carefully lift the fire out of the carton. Remove the loose item packaging carefully from the front of the appliance. Check the contents as listed :- Packing Check List 1off Fire box / burner assembly 1off Boxed fuelbed base, ceramic front rail and 14 synthetic pebbles 1off...

Proceed as follows :- Remove the burner heat shield from the front of the fire box to allow access to the burner. See fig. 3 below. Fig. 3 Ensure that the hearth is protected from damage and carefully lift the fire box into the fire opening, then slide it back into position.
Page 12
Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.

There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the installer to deal with any type of installation. The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail. The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or alterna- tively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg.
Page 14
Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire. Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire.

Fig. 9 Shows correct position of Foam Seal, between spacer channel and mounting face of firebox Spacer Channel Refit the front burner heat shield to the sides of the fire box (2 Screws) and secure the trim to the fire using the magnets provided. Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.

The other firebox fixing method is as follows :- In installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the fire surround using four screws and wall plugs provided. Below (fig.12) is a diagram to indicate the hole centre positions available on the firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.
SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED Place the ribbed ceramic fuelbed base on top of the fuelbed support and pull fully forwards to the burner. Make sure that the fuelbed base is located centrally in the fire box. Ensure that the fuelbed base fit fully down onto the fuel bed support and is not lodged on the burner.

FIXING THE INFRARED SENSOR IN POSITION Due to the large amount of different fascia’s that can be supplied with these fires, the infrared sensor is supplied from the factory attached to a self adhesive pad. This pad can therefore be attached to the hearth in a position to suit the form of the fret or contemporary trim assembly that is chosen with the product.
LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE The Remote control handset generates an infrared signal, which will be received by the sensor situated at the front right of your fire, behind the black controls cover. This infrared signal requires direct line of sight from the handset to the sensor on the fire to ensure good operation. If the handset is lost or broken, the fire can be lit manually, see the user instructions for details on how to operate the fire manually.
CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Close all doors and windows in the room. Light the fire and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high position. After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match just inside and below the centre of the perforated canopy in the Evo trim (see fig. 21 below).
Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI registered engineer. This is a condition of the Kohlangaz Fires guarantee schemes. The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for a positive up-draught in the chimney.
