INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Preliminary Notes Before Installation This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and convected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic convertor burner technology. The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System).
X-Fire Widescreen models : The room size should be a minimum of 40m 3 (e.g. 13’4” x 13’4” x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued) installed in areas where it is likely to be exposed to persistent strong draughts, that may be generated by outside doors or windows, air vents etc. It is recommended that the appliance should not be installed within 500mm of any air vent. Clearances to non-combustibles Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc.
VENTILATION A minimum of 100 cm 2 purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. This may be achieved either with one vent 100 cm 2 at a high or low position in the room, or split ventilation i.e. 50cm 2 be installed at high level and 50cm 2 be installed at low level within the room.
Due to the weight of the front facia, it is possible to fix the outer casing to the wall in up to nine (X-Fire 1000 mod- els), or fifteen (X-Fire widescreen models) positions, depending on the strength/condition of the wall. If in doubt always use extra fixings! Use a spirit level to ensure that the outer casing is level at all times during installation.
CHECKING THE BURNER There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length. The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the retaining screws.
FINAL FITTING OF THE FRAME ASSEMBLY Due to the weight of the facia assembly, it is recom- mended to seek assistance for this operation. The facia panel is supported by four M6 screws which pro- trude from the front of the outer casing.
10.1 SERVICING THE BURNER TRAY AND GAS ASSEMBLY Firstly, remove the front facia (removal is the reverse of fitting as detailed in section 8.4), the glass panel, and disconnect the gas connection inside the appliance. The gas connections to the gas valve can now be released.
10.3 CATALYSTS (continued) In order to calculate the combustion ratio for the appliance (CO/CO2) it is first necessary to express both gas concentrations in terms of percentage. To convert from parts per million (ppm) to a percent- age (%) divide the ppm figure by 10,000. Examples : 35ppm = 0.0035%, 15ppm = 0.0015%, 5ppm = 0.0005%.
11.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Fire sparks but pilot does not light No gas to fire, check isolators are open. Pipe work blockage, clean out. Air not fully purged, re purge supply or wait longer. Spark earthing to metal work, reset gap correctly. Blocked pilot, clean out internally.
