Page 8: Gas Burner Construction
Gas Burner Construction Use the image below to review the burner construction taking note of the positions of the main components and the required connections. The burner bar is pre-fitted to the enclosure. There is no reason why this should ever be removed. Before starting to install the appliance review the Data Plate fitted to the appliance for the gas type and pressure requirements of the appliance. -
Page 9: Remote Control System
Remote Control System Take some time to learn about the remote system fitted to this fire. The remote system features an RF (radio frequency) handset. The handset and the remote black box must be matched together to work correctly. Read the full section later in this manual to ensure you understand how the remote system works. -
Page 10: Installation Requirements
FR-850-V – Class 1 or 180mm flue of minimum 2 metres FR-850-NV – Class 2 or 130mm flue of minimum 3 metres (this model can also be used with the same flue as the FR-850-V) Page 10 of 58... - Page 11 FR-850-V: This version of the gas fire requires an air vent within the room which will provide a minimum of 100cm2 free air in accordance with National Regulations.
-
Page 12: Burner Ventilation
Did you check the flow rates as shown on page 4? Air Ventilation: First check if you are installing FR-850-V by checking the data plate within the fire. If this model is installed you will need to install a 100cm2 air vent in the same room. - Page 13 When the fascia is fitted to the wall air is provided a gap at the bottom and the slot on the enclosure. The slot in the enclosure must not be covered. The fascia is mounted so that it allows air to pass between it and the wall into the burner slot.

Page 14: Building & Installation Work
Building and Installation Work Gas Supply Consult the Data Plate within the appliance to ensure the correct gas type and pressure is available within the property. Before commencing to create the fire opening for the inglenook unit note that a gas supply is required. The gas supply pipe should run into the installed enclosure from either the rear, left or right hand sides, the gas supply is best run through the right side of the enclosure. - Page 15 Preparing the Fireplace Opening Above shows the minimum fireplace opening width and height. The image shows the fireplace opening required to install the fireplace unit. The gather can be installed by first inserting this into the fireplace opening. The fire body is then inserted into the opening and the gather lowered down onto the enclosure.
- Page 16 Above shows the minimum depth of the wall and the maximum lintel size when fitting the fire with the gather. Add 20mm to this for the front face of the finished wall (plaster board). The enclosure can be deeper however any voids should be filled otherwise there is a risk of “banging”...
- Page 17 Fireplace Clearance The fire must sit forward 40mm from the brickwork. This is to ensure the fire is correctly fitted for the stone fascia and burner ventilation. Position the enclosure in the opening so there is a minimum clearance of 10mm on each side and 10mm at the top.
- Page 18 Without Gather When not using the optional gather the enclosure must be sealed to the chimney. With Gather The gather should be sealed to ensure all flue gases enter the chimney and cannot leak back in to the room. Once the fire is fixed in place the fire can be finished with plasterboard.
- Page 19 Add the Plaster Board WARNING: The burner needs ventilation from the room and this is provided by a slot behind the fascia. To achieve the correct ventilation the enclosure must protrude into the room 20mm from the finished wall. See following images.
- Page 20 The image above shows the fire correctly positioned with the enclosure 20mm forward of the finished wall. When installed correctly the fire will look like the below image. Page 20 of 58...
- Page 21 Add the Stone Fascia The stone fascia is mounted to the wall using a special 2-part bracket. The first part is mounted onto the wall. The second part is fixed to the stone at the factory. If the fascia is damaged a new one must be obtained from the factory. Only the fascia supplied with the fire can be used with FIRE RIBBON.
- Page 22 Lift the Stone into Position. Lift the stone on to the wall bracket and secure by replacing the screws around the perimeter. When installed correctly air can flow below the fascia into the burner tray – see image below. The gas can now be connected and the fire commissioned. Page 22 of 58...
- Page 23 Connecting the Gas. Remove the front shelf. The gas line should now be connected to the 8mm inlet isolation valve with built in test point. Once connected perform a drop test to ensure no leaks in the pipe work up to the gas appliance. Remove the heat shield to gain access to the remote control unit so that the power switch put in the “on”...

Page 24: Commissioning The Appliance
COMMISSIONING THE APPLIANCE WARNING: The burner inlet flow rates are factory set and cannot be changed. The aeration is fixed; do not change the burner aeration. This fire must not be operated without the heat shield in place over the remote system. Failure to do this will result in serious damage to the remote system which will not be covered by the warranty. - Page 25 IF THE TEST IS FAILED: If it is not possible to maintain the pressure • at the required level the problem may be caused by blockages in the pipework, incorrect pipe sizing or a faulty meter. If the problem is the meter then TRANSCO, BORD GAIS or the propane supplier must be called to adjust the governor.

Page 35: Spark Or Ignition Failure
Pilot Assembly / ODS There is a highly sensitive oxygen depletion sensor designed into the pilot light. If any part is damaged the entire unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to bend or alter the flame head, thermocouple or aeration hole. Use only genuine spare parts as similar looking parts from other appliances may well give different or inferior performance and could lead to a hazard. -
Page 36: Burner Flame
Burner Flame The flame on this type of appliance is normally directed towards the rear of the enclosure. This is normal due to the opening size and flue system. The flame will never stand “upright”. It is to be expected that over time the surface on the rear of the enclosure will tarnish. -
Page 37: Service And Aftercare Requirements
Service and Aftercare Requirements Every 12 months the gas fire unit should undergo a regular service; this work should be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer only. The annual service of the unit must be performed in line with the instructions in the manual. -
