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.
SITE PREPARATION / PRODUCT LOCATION The appliance must only be installed into an opening with a non-combustible surface. The product must not be fitted into a room containing a bath or a shower. Combustible material such as wood, that is often used in the preparation of a hole in the wall type opening, may be fitted to within 100mm of either side of the opening, providing it does not project more than 100mm from the front of the opening.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION OF FIRE UNPACKING THE FIREBOX AND SILVER SAPPHIRE TRIM ASSY. Carefully lift the combustion chamber out of the carton. Remove the loose item packaging carefully from the pack. Check the contents as listed :- Packing Check List Carefully lift the components out of the carton.
PREPARATION OF THE FIREBOX OPENING If installing the product into a hole in the wall type installation, create an opening as shown in Fig. 2 below. If installing into a conventional opening with a hearth panel, create an opening as shown in Fig. 3 below. Fig.
INSTALLING THE FIRE BOX & GAS SUPPLY PIPE. Establish which type of flue you are intending to install the fire in to :- 225 x 225mm (9 inch x 9 inch) brick built chimneys, 175mm (7 inch) diameter lined brick or stone flue, or insulated pre-fabricated metal flue box to B.S. 715.

Fig. 5 Fit the short piece to the left hand mounting flange of the firebox. Foam seal to be fitted to perimeter of firebox NOTE : Firebox viewed from Rear in this image Decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. The gas connection can be made via the left hand side, right hand side or rear, to the burner tray inlet elbow which is located at the bottom left hand side at the front.

IMPORTANT : Sealing of the Gas Unused Gas Pipe Inlet Apertures In line with current CORGI regulations, it is imperative that the gas supply inlet apertures that are not utilised during the installation are sealed with the foil tape as supplied. Failure to seal these inlet apertures could lead to flame reversal, which in turn will damage the burner and control systems of the product.
Drill 6 off holes in the front face of the opening in positions to match those in the front frame of the firebox as shown below in Fig. 7. Fig. 7 627mm CRS Secure the firebox to the opening using the six off No. 12 x 40mm screws provided, ensuring that the foam seal is consistent around the opening, and that it forms an effective seal.
FITTING OF THE FRET AND SIDE CHEEKS For this part of the installation, the latex gloves supplied should be used to protect the decorative parts. Also, leave the protective coating in place until the installation is complete. Remove the two off M4 nuts and washers on the base of the firebox, as shown below in Fig.
Finally remove all the protective coating. Fig. 8b SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED (PEBBLE FUEL-BED MODELS) NOTE : The position of the fuel-bed components are critical to the performance of the product. Therefore please ensure that the fuel-bed components are positioned as described in the following section prior to requesting a service call due to soot build up, poor flame pattern etc.

Position front ceramic rail on burner front ceramic support and ensure that the locating channel in the front ceramic rail is correctly located onto the lip on the burner front ceramic support. (See fig. 10 below) Fig. 10 Pick pebbles A to E and arrange along the the front rail, ensuring that they are evenly spaced.
Page 15
Select pebbles F to I and arrange behind the front row of pebbles, ensuring that flame paths as indicated below are not interupted. (See fig. 12 below) Fig. 12 Select pebbles (J & N) and position to fill the gaps at each end of the third row of pebbles, as shown below in Fig.
Page 16
Select the remaining pebbles K, L & M (which are slightly larger that the other pebbles) and arrange along the rear of the fuelbed, using the ribs in the rear of the fuelbed as a guide for placement. (See fig. 14 below) Fig.
ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED (COAL FUEL-BED MODELS) NOTE : The position of the fuel-bed components are critical to the performance of the product. Therefore please ensure that the fuel-bed components are positioned as described in the following section prior to requesting a service call due to soot build up, poor flame pattern etc.

Fit five of the coals onto the front ceramic rail, ensuring that they are evenly spaced. Use the recess’s in the front ceramic rail as a guide for placement. (See fig. 17 below) Fig. 17 Select four of the coals and arrange behind the front row of coals, ensuring that flame paths as indicated below are not interupted.
Page 19
Select three of the coals and arrange along the rear of the fuelbed, using the ribs in the rear of the fuelbed as a guide for placement. (See fig. 19 below) Fig. 19 Select two coals and position to fill the gaps at each end of the third row of coals, as shown below in Fig.
Page 20
Select the remaining four coals and position along the rear edge of the fuelbed (See fig. 21 below) Fig. 21 The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance. Warning : Use only the coals supplied with the fire.
LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE Turn on the gas isolation tap. Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to purge the pipe work. Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the burner does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs.
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 10mm inside and 10mm below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire. (It is recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when checking for clearance of combustion products).
Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI registered engineer. This is a condition of the Flavel 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.
Removing the Control Tap from the fire. 4.3.1 Remove the burner assembly as in section 4.1. 4.3.2 Pull the control knob off the control tap spindle. 4.3.3 Loosen and remove the two gas pipe retaining nuts from the control tap and release the ends of the gas pipes from the control tap body. Remove the screw in thermocouple from the end of the control tap.
SECTION FIVE - USER INSTRUCTIONS About your Flavel Silver Sapphire The Flavel Silver Sapphire incorporates a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuel-bed components ensures long and trouble free operation.
The ceramic fuel-bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc. 5.2 Operating the Fire To light the fire proceed as follows:- Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot.
5.3 Cleaning - WARNING Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to fully cool. The Silver Sapphire case should be gently cleaned with a damp cloth. NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ABRASIVE CLEANINGS PRODUCTS ON ANY SURFACE OF THIS PRODUCT.
Assembling the Pebble Fuelbed NOTE : The position of the fuel-bed components are critical to the performance of the product. Therefore please ensure that the fuel-bed components are positioned as described in the following section prior to requesting a service call due to soot build up, poor flame pattern etc. Place the ribbed ceramic fuelbed base on top of the fuelbed support and pull fully forwards to the burner.
