    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

    Installation Requirements This gas fire is intended for decorative purposes. The installation must be in accordance with National Regulations and must be carried out by a qualified Gas Safe Registered installer. Building work should only commence after a thorough survey of the intended location of the impending installation has been completed and it has been established that the unit can be installed and operated without risk to the owner or tenants of the property or their neighbours.
  • Page 11 Once installed all additional gas inlet holes in the enclosure must be sealed with metal tape to avoid flame reversal which will damage the remote. The enclosure and flue must be sealed in line with building regulations. It is important that the gas supply is disconnected before any old existing surround and hearth is removed.

  • Page 12: Building & Installation Work

    BEFORE STARTING TO INSTALL CHECK: Gas Pipe Work: is it strong enough to supply this high power appliance? 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.
  • Page 13 the excess brickwork to the required height, the base of the fire opening (which the Fire burner and enclosure will sit upon) has to be built. To create a seal around the appliance and allow correct operation of the flue, the original fire opening must be closed using bricks or blocks, infill the void around the enclosure using block work or rubble.
  • Page 14 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 15 Fireplace Clearance The fire must sit forward 20mm from the brickwork. This is for the plasterboard that will be added later to finish the installation and create a letterbox style. Position the enclosure in the opening so there is a minimum clearance of 10mm on each side and 10mm at the top.
  • Page 16 With Gather The gather has a spigot to allow connection to a suitable flue liner. The diameter of the gather spigot depends on the model chosen – FR850-V (180mm) and FR850-NV (130mm) – See data plate. Page 16 of 54...
  • Page 17 Once the fire is fixed in place the fire can be finished with plasterboard to create the final look required. The gas can now be connected and the fire commissioned. Page 17 of 54...
  • Page 18 Connecting the Gas. Remove the vanity cover by taking out the screws as shown in the image. 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.
  • Page 19 Once the heat shield is removed the remote control is visible. Remove the shield from the remote box and switch on the power. Refit the remote heat shield. Refit the metal heat shield. Read the section on lighting the fire and how to operate the remote control - Read Page 40.

  • Page 20: 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 21 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.

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 32: 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.
