Page 10: Installation Of Fire
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 and 18 coals (16 large, 2 small) 1off... - Page 11 Proceed as follows :- Remove the trim / fret. Remove the burner heat shield from the front of the fire box to allow access to the burner. See fig. 3 below. Fig. 3 Ensure that the hearth is protected from damage and carefully lift the fire box into the fire opening, then slide it back into position.
- Page 12 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.
- Page 13 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 14 There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the installer to deal with any type of installation. 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, or alterna- tively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg.
- Page 15 Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire. Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire.
- Page 16 Refit the front burner heat shield to the sides of the fire box (2 Screws) and secure the trim to the fire using the magnets provided. Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.

Page 18: Assembling Fuel Bed And Commissioning
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. - Page 19 Fit five of the large sized coals onto the front ceramic rail, ensuring that they are evenly spaced. Use the recess’s in the front ceramic rail as a guide for placement. (See fig. 12 below) Fig. 12 Select four of the large coals and arrange behind the front row of coals, ensuring that flame paths as indicated below are not interupted.
- Page 20 Select three of the large coals and arrange along the rear of the fuelbed, using the ribs in the rear of the fuelbed as a guide for placement. (See fig. 14 below) Fig. 14 Select the two small coals and position to fill the gaps at each end of the third row of coals, as shown.
- Page 21 Select the remaining four coals and position along the rear edge of the fuelbed (see fig. 16 below) Fig. 16 The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance. Warning : Use only the coals supplied with the fire.

Page 22: Lighting The Appliance
LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE Turn on the gas isolation tap. Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to purge the pipe work. Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the burner does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. - Page 23 If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a fault exists. If, after investigation the fault cannot be traced and rectified, the fire must be disconnected from the gas supply and expert advice obtained. If there is an extractor fan fitted any where in the vicinity of the appliance, or in adjacent rooms the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running on maximum and all interconnecting doors open.
