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.
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 fire surround.
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.

Fig. 2 - Installation Depth Requirements for a Kinder Trimless Inset Gas Fire being installed into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume. When installing this product into a builders opening / brick-built chimney, the depth required is a minimum of 323mm.
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, (for example the Selkirk LFE 125 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm internal and minimum internal dimensions of 323mm deep by 680mm high by 435mm wide.
SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitor- ing system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire is operated.
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 fuelbed base, ceramic front rail, overlays and 24 coals 1off...

Proceed as follows :- Remove the burner heat shield from the front of the fire box to allow access to the burner. See fig. 3 below. Fig. 3 2 off Burner Heat Shield Retaining Screws Ensure that the hearth is protected from damage and carefully lift the fire box into the fire opening, then slide it back into position.

Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.

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.

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. The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, if the masonary in the rear of the fireplace opening is loose, it must be repaired prior to the installation of the product.

hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Tilt the firebox and slide carefully into the opening, taking care not to damage the hearth panel. Slide the four fixing brackets through the cut outs in the firebox, (2 off top, 2 off bottom) until they come into contact with the back of the fire place opening.
Pull the cables tight and remove any slack. Lock the cables in place using the tensioning bolts to secure as described in section l) & m) below. 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).
SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING 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.

Select four of the coals marked “O” and place behind the rear of the fuelbed overlays, as shown below in Fig. 12 NOTE : Coals are stamped with the relevant no’s on their base Fig. 12 Select coals No. 1 to No. 5 and arrange along the front fuelbed ceramic rails, from left to right (See fig.
Page 19
Select coals No. 6 to No. 11 and arrange from left to right along the fuelbed, behind the front row of coals. See fig. 14 below NOTE : Coals are stamped with the relevant no’s on their base Fig. 14 Select coals No.
Page 20
Select coals No. 17 to No. 20 and arrange from left to right along the fuelbed, behind the third row of coals. See fig. 16 below NOTE : Coals are stamped with the relevant no’s on their base Fig. 16 When the fuelbed is fully assembled, make a final check that the coal positions are as shown below in Fig.
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.
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 75mm down and 25mm 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. 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.
