This installation is for use in timber framed buildings in conjunction with a fire surround having a minimum depth of 140mm (5 5/8in). 1. The non-combustible hearth must project at least 300mm in front of the convection box flanges and be at least 625mm wide.
INSTALLER GUIDE that a cardboard cylinder is formed around the flue unit and inserted in the hole whilst making good. Remove the cardboard cylinder after making good. 7.9 Combustible walls (wood, fibreboard, plasterboard etc.). 1. Building regulations require that the outer surface of the flue tube and terminal must not be closer than 25mm to combustible material and must be lined with steel sleeve not less than 0.5mm thick (See figure 14).
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.10 Fixing the appliance in position. There are two methods of fixing that may be used: 1. Cable Retention 2. Use of fixing brackets If the fire is to be fitted in front of the wall, then fixing brackets may be used.
INSTALLER GUIDE 7.11 Prepare flue assembly. 1. Measure the total wall thickness from the outside surface to the inside face. Add 18mm to this measurement to obtain the correct length of flue unit required. This measurement is for surface mounted flue box assemblies.
INSTALLER GUIDE Now connect the wiring loom at the firebox end, the eight pin connector is located on the lower left hand side of the appliance. Take two ‘P’ clips from the loose parts bag, and use them to secure the loom to the upper left hand side of the firebox. Two fixing holes can be found in this area of the firebox.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.3 Fan box installation. Before installation can proceed it will be necessary to remove the fan unit from the fan box. 1. Remove the 2 cover retaining screws and withdraw the fan unit (See figure 21) Check inside for any loose unwanted packaging 2.
Page 25
INSTALLER GUIDE If the fan box is to be sited totally outside the wall fit the brackets with the short flanges flush with the air intake end of the fan box (see figure 22). If the fan box is to be recessed by 150mm into the wall then fit the brackets with the short legs 50mm from the air outlet face of the fan box (See figure 23).
INSTALLER GUIDE 13. Stow the excess cable as shown in figure 25. Leave about 200mm of free length for fan motor connection. Secure the stowed cable inside the fan box with cable ties. 8.4 Electrical installation 1. Install a power supply at a switched fuse having a minimum separation of 3mm at all poles.
INSTALLER GUIDE 6. Locate the cable loom earth tags and secure to the fan box earth stud using the M4 nut and shakeproof washer supplied. Connect the cable loom to the pressure switch - see figure 28. 7. Replace the fan unit taking care not to snag or otherwise damage the electrical fitments.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.6 Electrical test. Switch on power supply to the appliance. The red indicator light at the left side of the burner should be on. Press and hold in the “on” switch at the front of the burner. Within a few seconds, the Fan motor should start and the indicator light should go out.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.7 Terminal guarding. Position the terminal guard to wall, align and ensure equal clearances around fan box. Mark off the four fixing positions on wall. Remove the terminal guard and drill at the marked positions, four holes using a no. 10 drill. Insert wall plugs, reposition the terminal guard and secure to wall using four screws supplied.
INSTALLER GUIDE Release the “on” switch. The fan should continue to run. Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the “PILOT/IGN” position until some resistance is felt. Keep depressed at this position to purge air from the system then, while keeping it depressed, turn fully to the “PILOT/IGN” position. A spark should be generated at the pilot while turning.
INSTALLER GUIDE 10. FITTING THE CERAMIC FUEL EFFECT The fitting guide for the ceramic fuel effect is supplied with the ceramic fuel effect. It is important that the fitting guide for the ceramic fuel effect be placed inside or attached to this guide and handed to the customer following completion of the ‘final review’...
INSTALLER GUIDE 12. CHECKS 12.1 Recheck control settings. Now that all the ceramic fuel effects are in position, the control operation must be fully rechecked. Make sure that the isolating valve at the inlet elbow is open and that the electrical power supply is on (the indicator light should glow).

INSTALLER GUIDE Leave the appliance on for five minutes. Place the smoke match tube into the burner box below the hood (See figure 36). The installation is satisfactory if the smoke is drawn into the appliance. If the smoke is not drawn into the appliance the fan powered extraction system is not operating correctly.
INSTALLER GUIDE 13. FINAL REVIEW Where applicable, carefully place the fire front / fire front casting and front cover castings into position. Hand the literature pack, this guide and the smoke match tube to the customer. Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation. Advise the customer how to operate the appliance.

INSTALLER GUIDE to the left as possible. It is important that the left side plaque is accurately positioned so that it has the correct relationship to the pilot. Fully tighten the clamping strips. Refit the ceramic fuel effects and wall as described in section 10 of this manual. 14.2 To remove the pilot unit.
Page 37
INSTALLER GUIDE 14.3 To completely remove the burner unit. Remove the ceramics and front cover castings, disconnect the appliance and detach the burner unit from the convection box as described for removing the pilot unit – see above. Detach the burner wiring loom connection at the right side of the burner (See figure 40).
