The 966 is an inset decorative gas fire. It is lit by a piezo spark igniter so batteries or electricity are not required. When fitted
with either the Illusion, Stratton or Presence Facia, this fire is only suitable for use with the Potterton Housewarmer 45 & 55
BBu's.
The decorative effect is created by the use of ceramic coals mounted on a ceramic bed that glows red when heated by the
burner. Samples of the fire have been examined by British Gas Plc, a United Kingdom Notified Body. The range is certified
to comply with the essential requirements of the Gas Appliance Directive 90/396/EEC and are therefore permitted to carry
the CE Mark.
The fire is fitted with two safety features:-
a) A Flame Supervision Device that will shut down the fire if the gas supply is interrupted, the gas supply to the fire will
remain off until the fire is re-lit. Wait 2 minutes before re-lighting the fire.
b) An Atmospheric Sensing Device that will shut down the fire if the flue/chimney fails to operate correctly, e.g. blocked
flue. If the fire shuts down frequently and gas supply interruption is not the cause then the flue/chimney MUST BE
inspected and corrective action taken. Call you local Gas Region or C.O.R.G.I. Registered Installer.
IMPORTANT:
Certain types of wallcoverings e.g. Blown Vinyl, are easily affected by heat. They may shrink and discolour
when close to a heating appliance. Please bear this in mind when installing the fire. Also, because of the
way hot air circulates naturally convected heat from the fire, dust or tobacco smoke particles in the air will
draw towards the wallcovering around the fire and may discolour it.

Fireplace Openings.
The maximum size of the front opening of the fireplace
recess is 490mm wide x 580mm high. The minimum size is
the same as for the boiler.
A non-combustible infill panel may be used to reduce an
existing fireplace opening to the required dimensions.
Note:
A proprietary fire surround back panel MUST NOT
be used as an infill panel as it would be exposed to
high temperature combustion products.
The minimum flat area will enable the outer metal surround
to be fitted correctly and give access to the boiler controls.
Note: Chimneys, Flues and Flue Systems are covered in the
Installation & Service Instructions supplied with the Back
Boiler Unit.
