Page 5: Fireplace / Surround Suitability
FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials. The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150 o c. If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind the trim. -
Page 6: Fire Place Opening / Catchment Space
There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry. - Page 7 Table A - Installation Depth Requirements for a Kinder Kalahari being installed into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume (fig. 2) When installing this product into a builders opening / brick-built chimney, the depth required is a minimum of 170mm. The 12.0 litres of debris collection volume is achieved by the space available taper down the sides of the firebox.

120mm or the fire surround may be packed away from the wall using suitable non-combustible board, providing the installation is correctly sealed. If in doubt about the suitability of the fire contact Kinder Fires for advice before proceeding. This fire has been designed to fit standard 100mm pre-cast starter blocks with 3 inch rebated surrounds. -
Page 9: Spillage Monitoring System
1.10 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of combus- tion products in the room in which the fire is operated. -

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 ceramic base, front ceramic rail and 18 coals (16 large, 2 small) coals... - Page 11 For manual control models 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 For Slide Control Models 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. 5 below. Fig. 5 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 13 Fig. 6 Unscrew the burner assembly fixing screws at either side of the firebox, and the two fixing screws at the base of the fire (See fig. 6 above). Carefully pull the base of the burner forwards from the fuel-bed support panel.
- Page 14 Continue for all models 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 of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.
- Page 15 IMPORTANT : Sealing of the Gas Unused Gas Pipe Inlet Apertures In line with current GAS SAFE 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 16 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. If the 2 inch black spacer is used, the fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg.
- Page 17 Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut). Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a flat bladed screwdriver.
- Page 18 This should not be overtightened. Move the control lever fully downwards and check that the left hand micro-switch operates the igniter and that the control valve spindle is fully depressed. Move the control lever upwards to the “off” position and check that the right hand (cut-off) micro-switch operates.

SECTION 3 ASSEMBLING FUEL BED AND COMMISSIONING ASSEMBLING THE CERAMICS AND FUEL BED 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 21 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. 15 below) Fig. 15 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 22 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. 17 below) Fig. 17 Select the two small coals and position to fill the gaps at each end of the third row of coals, as shown.
- Page 23 Select the remaining four coals and position along the rear edge of the fuelbed Fig. 19 The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the most pleasing and random appearance.
