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.
FLUE TERMINAL POSITION The minimum acceptable dimensions from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are shown below in fig. 1 and listed in the table (fig. 2 below) IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE POSITION OF THE FLUE ALLOWS THE FREE PASSAGE OF AIR ACROSS IT AT ALL TIMES.
FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials. The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150 o c.
INSTALLATION TYPES This fire can be fitted against an outside facing facing flat wall surface or into a fireplace opening cut into the wall. When fitting the fire in front of the inner cavity wall, the distance between the mounting face of the fire and the rear face of the firebox must be a minimum of 170mm, a false chimney breast or fireplace surround should be constructed.

Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to be compressed.
MAKING THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. WARNING : THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED AND MUST BE CONNECTED VIA A 3 AMP FIXED FUSED SPUR WITH A MINIMUM CONTACT SEPARATION OF 3MM - DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CONNECT TO A 13AMP TYPE PLUG AND SOCKET Whilst feeding the 5 core cable through the cable entry hole in the fan unit, press the fan unit into the wall plate until it engages securely.
GAS TIGHTNESS AND INLET PRESSURE Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a manometer. Turn on the main gas supply and carry out a gas tightness test. Depress and hold the green “on” button on the fan control panel, located at the right hand side of the fire (when viewed from the front).
SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED 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.
Page 25
Position upper fuelbed component on to the locating pegs on the top of the fuelbed base, ensuring that it is correctly seated as shown below in fig. 25 Fig. 25 Fit the two parts of the ceramic front coal support on to the front support bracket, ensuring they are correctly located, as shown below in fig.
Page 26
Select seven of the coals and arrange along the front ceramic coal support using the shallow depressions as guidance for the coal position. See fig. 27 below Fig. 27 Select the four coals and arrange along the front of the fuelbed, directly behind the front row of coals.
Page 27
Select five of the coals and arrange along the fuelbed behind the second row of coals spacing them evenly and positioning them as shown below in fig. 29. Fig. 29 Select the remaining four coals and position to fill the gaps left at the top rear of the fuelbed.
Page 28
The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance. To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F (Refractory Ceramic Fibre) articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust accumulated in and around the appliance before and after working on the appliance.
LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE (ALL MODELS) Turn on the gas isolation tap. Depress and hold the green “on” button on the fan control panel, located at the right hand side of the fire (when viewed from the front). The fan unit will operate, and when the air pressure switch (located inside the fan unit) detects sufficient air flow within the flue, an audible click will be heard and the gas solenoid valve will open, this will be indicated by the green light illuminating .
CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS (ALL MODELS) 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 just inside and below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire.
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a CORGI registered engineer. This is a condition of the CFM Europe Ltd. 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.
