screws as shown in figure 7. These screws
have been tightened to avoid damage to
the fascia during transit. These screws
must be slackened to enable the customer
to remove this section of the fascia.
Slacken the two screws, detach the window
surround by sliding it upward and then
swinging the bottom forward. Lift and store
carefully.

screws each side of the window frame and lifting the
unit clear.
8. Remove the ceramic fuel effect pack from the
firebox and keep it safe.

Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that
the piezo electric spark ignition system operates
satisfactorily.
To initiate the spark, temporarily refit the control knob
to the tap spindle. Depress the control knob and while
keeping it depressed, slowly turn anticlockwise through
approximately 60° to the 1/IGN position. A spark should

track from the electrode pin to pilot burner. If there is
no spark or incorrect tracking, check that the spark gap is between the limits shown in
figure 8. If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.
Remove the control knob after checking.
10. For wall mounted appliances.
Remove the levelling screws and locknuts from below the feet.
11. If the fire is fitted to a recessed fireplace, an extension flue spigot up to a
maximum total length of 125mm may be used. The extension must be a tight fit over
the flue spigot and be secured by two self tapping screws. Note the minimum
clearance required as shown in figure 4.

6.3 Fireplace flue pull.

Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
After confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram
smoke pellet and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside
that the smoke exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable.
Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke
indicating a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few
minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may
need remedial work – Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow
through the flue.
