DATA PLATE (The dataplate for this appliance, containing technical information and specifications can be found to the right of the control tray, near the base of the fire. To access this, the fascia must first be removed.
BASIC OPERATION The IO1000 is operated by the switch located on the right hand side outer edge of the fascia. The basic operations possible are ON/OFF. Before operating the fire, ensure that the power transformer is plugged into the mains wall socket and turned on, and the supply is turned on.
REMOVING THE FASCIA The IO1000 Stainless Steel fascia is attached to the fire by four ‘hooks’ on the corners of the fascia. If you need to remove the fascia, lift it upwards and slowly pull it away from the fire in the same motion.
NEVER EVER RUB THE FASCIA. The outside of a Real Flame Fascia must only be cleaned with a soft microfibre cloth. If heavier cleaning is required for the likes of grease or stubborn fingerprint removal we recommend the use of Steel Kleen brand Ezi Wipes for stainless steel fascias only, and warm soapy water for powder coated Fascias.
INSTALLATION WARNING Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface temperatures, burns and clothing ignition. Young Children should be carefully supervised when they are in the area of the appliance. Clothing or other flammable materials should not be hung from the appliance, or placed on or near the appliance.
(continued) Product Description The Real Flame IO1000 gas fire is designed for outdoor use only. This appliance requires no flue and must be permanently installed into a cavity. It may be installed into a timber cavity. The fire is controlled by the user from a switch that is situated on the lower right hand side of the stainless steel fascia.
INSTALLATION (continued) Power Supply This appliance requires a constant external 240V AC 1A power supply to mains electricity. A plugpack transformer is supplied with the fire. Creating the Cavity The dimensioned drawing below shows the size of opening that must be created to install the unit. 1010 Where possible, it is recommended that the cavity is made slightly larger than the above dimensions to give the installer the maximum amount of space to work in.
Certain materials or items, when placed under or near the appliance, will be subjected to radiant heat and could become damaged. The following installation diagrams are Real Flame IO1000 recommendations only and may or may not comply with your local council standards. Please check with your local council for actual building standards.

INSTALLATION (continued) Types of Installation Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls. Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls, the following should apply: • At least 25% of the total wall area is completely open, and •...
INSTALLATION (continued) Corner Installations If a cavity is to be created in a corner, the following drawings give the minimum sized interior wall dimensions possible. Note: Allowances need to be made for cladding the internal of the cavity. Dimensions of the cavity in this diagram represent the internal size only. Minimum clearance distance between adjacent wall and fascia needs to be no less than 270mm.
INSTALLATION (continued) Laying Gas Pipe Gas pipe should be sized as per the requirements of AS5601/AG601-2000. The pipe sizing must be sufficient to deliver the following volume of gas to the heater with all other gas appliances in the home running at the same time; IO1000 Natural Gas = 49 Mj/hr IO1000 Propane = 40 Mj/hr IO1000 ULPG = 40 Mj/hr...
INSTALLATION (continued) Fixing the fire into the cavity To fix the fire to the cavity, first drill 4 to 6 (5mm diameter) holes in the outer flange (as shaded grey in the picture below) in locations which will give you the most support from the cavity framework behind and evenly spaced around the flange.
INSTALLATION (continued) Connecting the power supply and power switch The power supply socket is located below the firebox. Push the 2 pin plug/socket together with the supply from the transformer until they ‘click’. The ON/OFF power switch socket plugs into the 3 pin plug lead situated at the front RH side of the fire.
INSTALLATION (continued) Checking Operating Pressure NOTE: Check ensure that the correct jets, for the gas being used, are installed – see page 25. This check is done at the regulator located at the lower front of the appliance. This must be done before fascia has been fitted. Pressure test point available for operating pressure (as shown below).
INSTALLATION (continued) Assembly of the Glass Feature The glass has been packaged seperately to protect it during transit, and can be found inside the firebox. Carefully insert the glass into the cartridge as shown, between the two metal flanges and push it all the way to the bottom.
Try and get an even spread across the top of the burners. Optional Weather Cover If desired, an optional Weather Cover can be purchased from your Real Flame retailer, which protects the fuelbed and burners. This should be replaced when while the fire is not in use.
GAS CONVERSION Warning: Before starting the gas conversion, ensure that the fireplace is cool. Step One Remove the fascia lifting it upwards and outwards. Unplug the cable at the bottom of the fascia and then finish removing the fascia. This will give you access to remove the Burners and Stone tray.
Page 25
GAS CONVERSION (continued) Step Five Change the two jets with the conversion jets supplied in kitset. Cover the existing gas type label with the new gas type label sup-plied in kitset. Ensure serial number and date of manufacture are still visible.
Page 26
GAS CONVERSION (continued) Propane ULPG Step Eight For Natural gas to Propane/ULPG conversion, simply remove the restrictor collars from the burners. For Propane/ULPG to Natural gas conversion you will need to re-fit the natural gas restrictor collars. These slide over the burner tube on the underside of the burners, and must be screwed into place so that the porting holes line up.
Page 27
GAS CONVERSION (continued) Step Nine a) Insert the burners and fix them into place with the burner clamps. b) Replace the front glass feature tray and fix it back onto the firebox. c) Replace the coals, ensuring you have only one even layer. Do not heap or mound the coals.
