CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION In Great Britain :- It is law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE registered installer in GB, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and use) Regulations 1998. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.
FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire is suitable for hearth mounting or wall mounting. It must not be fitted directly onto a carpet or other combustible material. It must not be fitted to combustible walls. This fire is suitable for the following hearth / surround types: Non-combustible hearths / surrounds.
Brick / stone built chimneys and any chimney or flue which has been used for an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The base of the chimney/flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc. Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off. Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.

The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm wide, and between 470mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure plate can be sealed to the fireplace.
1.8.3 Fitting to Pre-Cast Flue Installations. The appliance is suitable for use with pre-cast flues conforming to BS EN 1858. The pre-cast opening must be a minimum of 122.7cm 2 or equivalent cross-sectional area and have a minimum effective flue height of 3 metres.

Closure plate. Fit the closure plate to the fireplace opening and ensure that it has a flat sealing area of at least 10mm sealed on all sides. See Fig. 3 below Dimensions stated are for closure plate supplied Fig. 3 Closure Plate Dimensions...
GAS CONNECTION Note : A means of isolation must be provided near to the appliance to facilitate servicing. Ensure that the gas supply is turned off before commencing. The gas connection should be made to the appliance inlet elbow using 8 mm rigid tubing.
Fig. 4 FITTING THE BATTERY (CONT.) Spark Generator Battery Cap AA Battery LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE Light the pilot by depressing the control knob at the “off” position and turn anti-clockwise (with the control depressed) to the second position marked *. When the pilot lights, (pilot can be seen through the bottom window of right hand radiant) hold the control knob down for 10 seconds.
CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS Close all doors and windows in the room. Remove the dress guard. Light the fire and turn to the maximum position. After 5 minutes hold the smoke match as shown in Fig. 5. Whilst hold ing the smoke match in the correct position, approximately 5mm below and inside the lower edge of the centre of the canopy.
Hand this instruction booklet to the customer. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The Flavel Welcome heater is supplied with a moulded three-pin plug (3 Amp) and approximately 1.8 metres of flexible mains cable (1mm 2 ). The appliance and surround should therefore be located close to a suitable mains socket to enable connection.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Servicing Notes Servicing should be carried out annually by a competent person such as a GAS SAFE registered engineer. The service should include visually checking the chimney and fire opening for accumulations of debris and a smoke test to check for positive up-draught in the chimney.

REMOVING THE GAS VALVE FROM THE FIRE Disconnect the appliance from the gas supply. Remove the upper canopy as shown in section 4.1 Remove the left hand side panel, by unscrewing the rear panel fixing screws, then the base panel retaining screw, as shown below in fig. 11 Fig.
Remove the valve retaining nut as shown below and disconnect the wires to the microswitch as shown on page 18, Fig. 12 REMOVING THE ODS- PILOT ASSEMBLY Note : Because this appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing ODS-pilot it is not possible to replace the thermocouple separately, because the thermocouple position is factory set to a tight tolerance.
REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT OF THE LIGHTBULBS Isolate the appliance from the electricity supply. Remove the coal form as shown on page 16, fig 8. Remove the bulbs from the bayonet fitting and replace with a new one of the correct specification, as shown below in fig. 14 Fig.

the fire must never be run with the wrong number or damaged ceramics. The ceramics must be carefully re-assembled as stated in the following section. LIGHTING WITH A SPILL Important do not light with a wax taper In the unlikely event of the piezo ignition unit failing to light the fire, turn the control knob to the OFF position, and wait a minute or so for the gas to disperse.
Page 27
Fig. 2 CLEANING THE RADIANTS The ceramics may discolour slightly over a period of time, this is normal for radiant fires. Any dust or small soot deposits that accumulate on the ceramics can easily be cleaned. Carefully remove the ceramics and brush gently with a soft brush. To remove the ceramic, remove the dress-guard as shown in fig.

REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE IGNITION GENERATOR The battery holder is located at the bottom R/H/S of the fire, unscrew the cap, fit a new AA battery and re-fit the cap. See fig. 4 below. Fig. 4 Spark Generator Battery Cap AA Battery IN THE EVENT OF THE FIRE FAILING TO LIGHT, PLEASE VISUALLY CHECK FOR SPARKING AT THE IGNITION ELECTRODE ON THE PILOT.
