    Fitting the Fascia Panels To avoid scratches or knocks to the fascia panels of this heater, they must be fitted at the conclusion of the installation process, after wall linings are in place. NOTE: Never rub the fascia. Step 1: Ensure the plastic spacer is placed on the thread of the studs.

  • Page 42: F6 Locating Wall Mount Cradle For Wireless Control

    Ideally 1.2m to 1.5m from the floor The radio frequency signal will go through some walls but for best results Escea suggest that the cradle position is less than 10 metres away from the heater. The best height off the ground to locate the cradle is about chest height.
  • Page 43 The appliance is turned off by pressing the “POWER” button once more. The remote will display the time only. Run the appliance again and check the operation of the thermostat by increasing and reducing the set temperature. Check the Flame Effect function and the Fan Boost functions work correctly.

  • Page 44: F8 Normal Operating Sounds And Smells

    These are all normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance. Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.

    Service Manual IMPORTANT: • This appliance must be serviced every 12 months. • Any service operation should be carried out only by a suitably qualified and trained person. • Gas and electricity supply MUST be isolated before any service operation is carried out on this appliance.

  • Page 47: S2 Error Codes

    Error Codes This gas fire has been designed to show error codes to help explain and identify any fault situation that occurs. These codes will appear on the wireless remote control in the form of a large letter “E” with a number beside it. Codes can normally be reset by turning the heater off then on again at the wall.
  • Page 48 The valve solenoids have failed the pre-ignition test. A wire may have dislodged or the valve solenoid is faulty. • Check that the connections to each solenoid are secure and in place. The connections on the ends of the wires may need to be tightened (e.g. with Valve Solenoid a pair of pliers) to ensure a robust connection to the valve terminal.

  • Page 49: S3 Cleaning The Fuel Bed, Fascia, And Glass

    ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE FASCIA AND GLASS. The outside of an Escea 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 a dedicated stainless steel cleaner for stainless steel fascias or warm soapy water for powder coated fascias.

  • Page 50: S4 Checking Operating Pressure

    Checking Operating Pressure WARNING: The regulator that is supplied with the fire MUST NOT BE REMOVED. Removal of the regulator, or replacing it with one not intended for use with an Escea fire, will void the limited appliance warranty. By law, the original installer has supplied a test point prior to the appliance. With all gas appliances within the house running on full, including this DX1500, check the inlet pressure upstream of the appliance.

  • Page 51: S5 Replacing A Remote Control

    Replacing a Remote Control If the wireless control becomes lost or damaged, a new one can be ordered from any Escea retail agent. When you have the new remote, the following procedure needs to be followed to “teach” the remote to communicate with the fire.

  • Page 52: S6 Replacing The Burners

    Replacing the Burners If a fascia is fitted, remove this first. Using the supplied 3mm Allen Key (hex drive), remove the bolts around the glass retainer, ensuring that the glass does not fall forward. Pull the top of the frame toward you slightly and lift the glass and frame out and away from the fire.

  • Page 55: S9 Servicing The Horizontal/Universal Vertical Powerflue

    Servicing the Horizontal/Universal Vertical Powerflue Ensure the power to the powerflue is off by disconnecting the power to the appliance inside. If the appliance has been running, allow the powerflue to cool before attempting to service it. Servicing a Horizontal Powerflue: If the powerflue needs servicing, the fan can be accessed from the outside of the installation for horizontal termination and accessed from within the roof space for vertical termination.
