Failure to comply with the above could leave the installer liable to prosecution and invalidate the appliance warranty. The appliance must not be installed in a room containing a bath or shower or where steam may be present. Ventilation No purpose provided ventilation is normally required when this appliance is installed in the UK.
3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building materials, carpet etc.

11) Remove the clamping plate, so that the vent connector makes contact with the combustion chamber; fig. 12 12) Turn the clamping plate around and secure the vent connector to the combustion chamber by sliding the clamping plate into place on the combustion chamber.
Never place extra elements of any kind into the combustion chamber. To guarantee good combustion, the log set may only be installed in the way specified by Faber International. Any other arrangement can lead to soot on logs or window. Do not use the fire with broken or missing logs.
4.4.1 Model Silva fig. 14 The log set consist of a rear log and five logs. Place the rear log intothe U section in the back of the combustion chamber. The logs must be rest on the burner tray and the rear log. Ensure that the pilot burner remains visible after installation of the log set.
4.4.3 Model Spectra, Feeling, Silence, Sense & Serene (log burner) On the bottom of the logs on the burners is a identification: • 1 dimple:first log left placed over the burner and resting on the burner tray. • 2 dimples: placed in the middle over he burner and resting on the burner tray.
5. REMOTE CONTROL 5.1 Remote control (if applicable) The remote control is only meant to regulate the flames, it functions only when the pilot burner is already ignited. It is therefore not possible to ignite the appliance with the remote control or to shut-off the pilot flame.
Page 23
Connect the wires to the gas valve. (see fig. 19). Fig. 20 Check that there are batteries in the transmitter. Set the on/off switch on the receiver to "on". Setting the right transmission code The receiver has to learn the code from the transmitter, which is already set at the factory.
6. COMMISSIONING (functional checks) Note: After installation, make sure that the gaslines from gas connection to the gas control are checked for gas leakes before the appliance is used for the first time! 6.1. Check pilot ignition Push in and turn the control knob (A) anticlockwise to the setting (small flame).
Check the ignition of the main burner on low and high setting. Turn knob B clockwise till . The main burner is off. Turn the knob A to . The pilot should go out. 6.3 Spillage test Carry out the lighting procedure and turn the fire to high. Allow to warm up for 15 minutes and then using a smoke match with holder set 100% inside the square tube on the top of the appliance between the trim and the glass frame.
This monitoring system (TTB) must not be adjusted, bypassed or put out of operation. This TTB, or any of its parts, must only be exchanged using Faber International authorised parts. Fig. 23: Gas control Block A. Governor B.
7. HANDING OVER (final check and customer briefing) Instruct the customer on the full operation of the appliance. Advise the customer how to clean the appliance including the glass. Instruct the customer on the operation of the remote control, including replacement of batteries and how to set the right transmissions code.
Never place extra elements of any kind into the combustion chamber. • To guarantee good combustion, the log set may only be installed in the way specified by Faber International BV. Any other arrangement can lead to soot on logs or window. <...
• Do not use the fire with broken or missing logs. 8.1.1 Cleaning the glass Depending on the intensity of use, you can get a deposit on the glass. This can be removed with a special non abrasive ceramic glass cleaner (ceramic cook-top cleaner) as follows: Remove the glass frame as described at 4.2.

8.1.9 Combustion test A BS7967 combustion analysis check should be carried out using an analyser to BS7927 positioned in the flue outlet, or draft diverter. A Ratio of CO/CO2 should be less than 0.01 within 30 minutes. (100ppm CO per 1% CO 2). A reading of CO in the room centre should give a rise of less than 9ppm over ambient, peak reading.

9. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USER 9.1 General safety instructions If a gas leak is found or suspected, turn off the gas supply at the meter and contact your installer or gas emergency service. These instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference.
Page 38
Important A suitable Fireguard conforming to BS6539 and BS6778 should be used with this appliance to protect children, the elderly or infirm. Care should also be taken with pets. In your own interest and that of safety, all gas appliances must be installed by competent persons.
10. CONTROLLING THE APPLIANCE 10.1 Lighting the fire If the main burner or pilot light is extinguished for any reason, do not attempt to relight the pilot within 5 minutes. Contact a qualified installer when the appliance goes off regularly. We advise to leave the pilot flame on.
Once gas is available at the pilot, continued rotation anti-clockwise will cause the piezo igniter to spark. This is accompanied by a click at the valve and should result in the pilot burner igniting. Once the pilot is lit, the control knob should be held pressed in for 10 seconds. In this time the pilot flame will have heated the flame supervision thermocouple sufficiently to operate a hold-on magnet within the valve.
To enable knob B turn knob A to the position; To extinguish the pilot turn control knob A to position , although it is in order to leave the pilot permanently lit. 10.3.1 When the pilot extinguishes Warning! When the pilot extinguishes, for whatever reason, you should wait at least 5 minutes before trying to turn it on again.
Features: • Manual control will always remain possible. • Both remote controls are internationally approved. • The remote control which uses radio frequency generates a unique safety code every time you activate the transmitter, it's similar to those used in a car. •...
You will hear a beep every time the receiver recognises a good signal. (If not, see paragraph 10.4.3). When the fire is not used for a prolonged period, turn off the pilot. 10.4.2 To extinguish Push (low) till the burner goes out and a clicking noise can be heard; To enable the remote control turn knob A to the position.
Page 44
Remote control Remove the cover on the back of the remote control. Carefully remove the battery clip along the side. Remove the old batteries and place the new ones: • 2 x AA LR03 Alkaline long life 1.5 V for the radio frequency remote control.
11. CLEANING AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS Important: • Turn off the fire and allow it to cool down before commencing cleaning. • It is recommended that, the fire, is inspected/serviced, by a competent person at least once a year. • To maintain the finish on the trim wipe with soft damp cloth only. Do not use abrasive cleaners, polish or solvents as these can damage the surface finish.
12. DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING AND APPLIANCE The appliance packaging is recyclable. The packaging could include the following materials: • cardboard; • CFC-free foam (soft); • wood; • plastic; • paper. These materials should be disposed responsibly and in conformity with government regulations.
