  • 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 propri- etary 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 8: Fitting To Chair Bricks

    1.7 FITTING TO FIREPLACES WITH EXISTING CHAIRBRICKS AND CONVENTIONAL BRICKBUILT CHIMNEYS This appliance is suitable for use in fireplaces fitted with an existing chairbrick without the need for removal of the chairbrick, providing the minimum depth of the fireplace exceeds 190mm. If the depth is less than 190mm then the spacer (optional) must be used to give a minimum clearance from the rear of the fire to the rear of the chairbrick of at least 90mm to allow sufficient space for the collec- tion of debris which may fall down the chimney.
  • Page 9: Hearths

    1.10 HEARTHS This appliance must only be installed on to a concrete or non-combustible hearth. The hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 13mm with the top surface at least 50mm above the floor. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the fire opening and have a minimum width of 760mm and a minimum projection of 300mm forwards from the fire opening.

Check the contents as listed :- Packing Check List 1off Fire box / burner assembly 1off Boxed ceramic base, front ceramic rail and fire bed and 19 synthetic coals (2 small, 13 medium &...
  • 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. 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. 7 below). 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 sup- port panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow.
  • Page 15 IMPORTANT : Sealing of the Gas Unused Gas Pipe Inlet Apertures In line with current CORGI 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. To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows- Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire opening in the positions shown below in fig.
  • Page 17 Fig. 11 Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to be compressed.
  • Page 18 NOTE : The cable is factory set, and therefore should need no adjustment Refit the front burner heat shield to the sides of the fire box (2 Screws) and secure the trim to the fire using the magnets provided. Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.
  • Page 19: Gas Tightness & Inlet Pressure (Mc Models)
