If fitted to a standard 292mm (11 “) cavity wall. APPLIANCE DATA NPFC/P00T/MN NPFC/P00T/MP Gas Type Natural Gas Propane Jet Size (mm) 2.05...
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS The law demands that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in accordance with the current GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS. The installation must comply with these installation instructions and all relevant parts of Local and National Building Regulations or Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations and those relevant recommendations of the following British Standards.
FLUE TERMINAL POSITION The minimum distances permissible from the flue terminal to obstructions and ventilation openings are shown in Figure 1. DIMENSION TERMINAL POSITION MINIMUM DISTANCE Directly below an opening, air brick or window, etc... 300mm Below gutters, soil pipes or drain pipes 75mm Below eaves 200mm...

Note: Do not trap wires between hot surfaces. FIGURE 2 FIGURE 3 Measure the height of the hearth and make a mark on the wall at the same height. Mark a horizontal line 425mm above the hearth level line and a vertical line on the centre line of the fireplace (See Figure 4).
Page 7
IMPORTANT: When installed on the surface the void above the firebox must be insulated to prevent heat travelling up the rear of the fire surround (See Figures 2 & 3). Remove the blanking plate that covers the rear outlet on the firebox and temporarily fit the flue duct to the rear of the firebox.
Mark a horizontal line 425mm above the hearth level line and a vertical line on the centre line of the fireplace (See Figure 4). At this point drill a pilot hole through the cavity wall to the outside. Above the hearth level line draw a rectangle 540mm high and 380mm wide (See Figure 6).
Feed the fan cable through the hole in the brickwork and leave a short length of cable 'hanging' in the opening made for the fan unit. Note: CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO DAMAGE THE TWO PLASTIC CONNECTORS FITTED TO THE CABLE WHEN PULLING THEM THROUGH THE HOLE. THESE CONNECTORS ARE FACTORY FITTED AND CANNOT BE RE-ATTACHED ON SITE.

Wall fixing holes FIGURE 10 Remove the front cover from the fan unit and withdraw the inner fan chassis, as previously described. Remove the three large screws from the top and bottom of the fan box and discard. Cut a slit in the grommet at the rear of the fan unit (not the side grommet) and feed through the power cable.
Place the adaptor box against the wall, ensuring it correctly aligned with the flue spigot, and mark the position of the four fixing holes on the wall (See Figures 5 & 11) Drill and plug the wall in the appropriate positions. Remove the four M5 screws at the rear of the box and retain for use later.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO MAINS SUPPLY It is recommended that the electrical connection to the mains supply is made via either a 3A fused spur or an unswitched three-pin socket and 3A fused plug. The appliance is supplied with 2.5 metres of three-core mains cable pre- wired. This should be routed to the power point as inconspicuously as possible - i.e.
GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK Once the correct operation of the controls has been proved a gas soundness test must be carried out in accordance with BS 6891. TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE FAN The following procedure tests the correct operation of the fan and pressure switch. Connect the electrical mains supply to the appliance, turn on the gas supply and switch on the fire.

5 Coals equally spaced, resting on top of the rear upstand of the base ceramic and against the coals in ROW C - ROW D Figure 15 12.3 Light the fire as detailed in Section 10. 12.4 Fine adjustment of the coal lay may be required to obtain the maximum amount of realism.

Laying of pebbles (See Figure 16) FIGURE 16 Bottom Row. Lay a large pebble (A) on the left hand side of the fire so that it rests on the castellated front ceramic and leans against the side of the firebox and the middle ceramic. Place two small pebbles (B &...
Leaving the pilot alight may allow a small amount of heat to pass to the fan, which will help to shorten the warm up period. If the fire still refuses to light contact your supplier or Verine Ltd (contact details are elsewhere in this leaflet).
SIDE VENTING AND ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS These additional instructions cover the additional installation requirements for the side venting version of the Fanfare. These instructions must be read in conjunction with the main installation and users instructions that are contained within. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The citing and configuration of the flue ducting will normally have to be predetermined before installation commences.
Page 18
Two floor fixing brackets and two top brackets are required with each length of side flue ducting. A bracket should be positioned approximately 150mm (6") from the end of each length of duct. See Figure 19. Please order these brackets as required from Verine FIGURE 19 Once the route of the ducting has been determined the brackets can be fixed in position ready to accept the ducting.
Page 19
The following series of diagrams show how the ducting and brackets should be fitted. CONNECT STARTER DUCT TO FIREBOX AND PLACE ON CENTRE LINE OF HEARTH FIGURE 20 CLIP THE SECOND LENGTH OF DUCTING IN PLACE AND SLIDE IN TO POSITION, ENSURING THE JOINTING SLEEVE IS FIGURE 21 CORRECTLY POSITIONED...
Additional lengths of ducting can be added as required. Where necessary, they will have to be cut to give the length required. The ducting must be cut as square as possible to ensure correct connection. Where needed, various elbows can be used to go around bends. NOTE: Elbows are connected using the sleeves described above but do not require the use of any support brackets.
of the brackets should be marked on the cladding material and then holes should be drilled in the appropriate places using the drill bit supplied. The pre-drilled cladding material should be screwed to the brackets using the 1 " countersunk, self tapping screws provided. See Figure 25 FIXING SCREWS INSULATION FIGURE 25...
COMMISIONING LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE Full details on how to operate the appliance can be found on Page 12 CHECK FOR SPILLAGE Before briefing the customer on how to use the appliance, a spillage test must be carried out with the decorative fret in position and the fan running. The following procedure must be followed.
SERS UIDE USEFUL TIPS & RECOMMENDATIONS The installation of this appliance must be carried out by a competent person, and in accordance with the requirements of the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS. As with any fire, certain components will become hot in use e.g. the decorative front fret. Care should be exercised when using the controls of the appliance when it is hot.
CLEANING YOUR FIRE Ensure that the fire is cold before undertaking any cleaning. Remember the heat is retained for some time after the fire is switched off. In normal use, your fire requires only minimal cleaning. Soot can form on the coals and / or pebbles and can easily be removed by lifting the relevant pieces from the fire and cleaning with a soft brush.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres along with fibrous glass and mineral wool. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
FAULT SYMPTOMS Your Fanfare fire is designed and manufactured to give many years of trouble free operation. In the unlikely event of any component failure or installation problem the appliance will restore to a "fail-safe" condition. However, faults can be caused by situations other than component failure and we strongly recommend that you consider the following points when using your fire.
