  • Page 4: Conditions Of Installation

    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.

  • Page 5: Fireplace / Surround Suitability

    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. If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind the trim.

  • Page 6: Fire Place Opening / Catchment Space

    There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry.
  • Page 7 Table A - Installation Depth Requirements for a Kinder Concept being installed into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume (fig. 2) Opening Width (mm) Minimum Depth Required (mm) 400 (minimum opening width) 450 (maximum opening width) For example, if the appliance was to be fitted into a 400mm wide opening, the depth required would be 298mm.

  • Page 8: Fitting To Metal Flue Boxes

    1.7 FITTING TO PRE-FABRICATED TWIN WALL METAL FLUE BOXES The appliance may be fitted to twin wall metal flue boxes conforming to the constructional requirements of BS 715 / BS EN 1856-2, (for example the Selkirk LFE 175 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 175mm internal and minimum internal dimensions of 300mm deep by 580mm high by 400mm wide.

  • Page 9: Tactile / Physical Barriers

    1.10 TACTILE / PHYSICAL BARRIERS This appliance must be fitted on a flat, non-combustible base of minimum thickness 12mm. In addition, a non-combustible hearth or physical barrier should be provided in front of the fire. With “hole in the wall” type installations, where it may be desirable not to fit a hearth panel or physical barrier, the product may be installed in accordance with Document J of the building regulations so that every part of theflame or incandescent material is at least 225mm above the floor level.

    SECTION 2 INSTALLATION OF FIRE UNPACKING THE FIRE Carefully lift the fire out of the carton. Remove the loose item packaging carefully from the front of the appliance. Check the contents as listed :- Packing Check List 1off Fire box / burner assembly 1off Boxed ceramic logs (3 pieces) 1off...

  • Page 11: Preparation Of The Fireplace Opening

    PREPARATION OF THE FIRE OPENING If installing the product into a hole in the wall type installation, create an opening as shown in Fig. 4 below. If installing into a conventional opening with a hearth panel, create an opening as shown in Fig. 5 below. Fig.
  • Page 12 For remote control models proceed as follows :- Remove the “Concept” fascia if necessary. Remove the glass panel retaining brackets (4 screws) and lift the glass panel clear. Unscrew the black painted pilot shield. See fig. 6 below. Fig. 6 Pilot heat shield screws Glass Panel Retaining Bracket Screws Lift the ceramic fibreboard base from the firebox.
  • Page 13 For manual control models proceed as follows: Remove the “Concept” fascia if necessary. Remove the glass panel retaining brackets (4 screws) and lift the glass panel clear. Unscrew the black painted pilot shield. See fig. 8 below. Fig. 8 Pilot heat shield screws Glass Panel Retaining Bracket Screws Lift the ceramic fibreboard base from the firebox.
  • Page 14 Continue for all models Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. The inlet elbow position is at the L/H side of the firebox for MC variants and the R/H side for RC variants. The gas connection to the appliance should be made to the isolating / inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing.
  • Page 15 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.
  • Page 16 The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail. To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows :- Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire opening in the positions shown below in fig.
  • Page 17 Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut). Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a flat bladed screwdriver.
  • Page 18 The other firebox fixing method is as follows :- In installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the fire surround using four screws and wall plugs (not provided). Below (fig.15) is a diagram to indicate the hole cen- tre positions available on the firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.

  • Page 19: Gas Tightness And Inlet Pressure (Manual Control Models)

    GAS TIGHTNESS AND INLET PRESSURE (MANUAL CONTROL MODELS) 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 the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot.

    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 21 Position the log piece marked “C” on the underside in the positions as shown below in Fig. 18. Fig. 18 Check logs A, B & C have been positioned in the correct cut-outs in the ceramic base as indicated below. Fig.
  • Page 22 The exact position and fit of the log pieces may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance. Re-fit the fascia and ashpan cover which are held in place by magnets. Warning : Use only the log pieces supplied with the fire. When replacing the log pieces remove the old log pieces and discard them.

  • Page 26: Checking For Clearance Of Combustion

    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 50mm down and 25mm inside and below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire.

  • Page 27: 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 Kinder Fires extended 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.
