INTRODUCTION

References in this manual to British Standards and Statutory Regulations and Requirements apply only to the United Kingdom. For Ireland the rules in force must be used.

Before installation, check that the local distribution conditions, nature of the gas, pressure and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

The manual is an important part of the appliance and must by law be handed to the end user on completion of the installation.

SAFETY NOTICES

•Do not attempt to burn rubbish or any other material in this appliance.

•This fire must only be operated with the fire door shut and secured.

•Do not use the appliance if the glass is cracked or broken.

•Do not make any unauthorised

modifications to the appliance.

•It is recommended that the fire be guarded to protect the young and infirm using a fireguard complying with BS8423:2002.

•Coal set -The coal set contains Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F), which are man made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Care must be taken when handling these items to ensure the release of dust particles is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibre from these items is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing it is recommended that a vacuum cleaner fitted with H.E.P.A. filters is used to remove any dust, soot or any other debris accumulated in and around the appliance. This should be performed

before and after the installation. It is recommended that any replacement item(s) are not broken up but sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag and clearly labelled "R.C.F. waste". This is not classified as "hazardous waste" and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these items but it is recommended that gloves are worn and

normal hygiene rules are followed. Always wash your hands before eating or drinking.

•In the event of a gas emergency, consult the telephone directory and ask for your local

gas supplier.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FITTING THE LINING PANELS

Becton 7 only. The lining panels supplied are to be installed into the fire before the coal matrix is fitted. Note: The lining panels are reversible (brick or plain pattern)

Ensure the appliance is cold.

With the fire door open, the glass retaining frame and the coal set removed, proceed as follows:

Do not force the linnings into position.

1. Position the rear lining face down at the rear of the fire. Ensure the cutout faces the rear of the fire.

Fig. 3a Positioning the rear lining

2. Locate side lining in the right hand side of the fire. First position the tall edge into the radius at the front of the fire.(See Fig.3b below)

Fig. 3b Fitting the R/H side lining

3. Then rotate the rear edge until the top faces match up the angle faces at the rear of the fire. (See Fig. 3c) Repeat exercise for the left hand side.

Fig. 3c Fitting the side linings

4. Rotate the rear lining to bring it vertical (Fig. 3d)

Fig. 3d Rotating the rear lining

5. Centre the assembly. Line up each end of the rear lining with the edges of the fixed matrix plate. (See Fig. 3e)

Fig. 3e Liner panels assembled in the fire.

Once the lining panels are fitted, arrange the coals. See “Arranging the coals” on page 8.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ARRANGING THE COALS

Safety Notice - Please see SAFETY NOTICES ref. Coal set page 4.

Warning: The coals and the coal matrices are fragile ensure they are handled carefully. Ensure location is correct. Do not force the matrix into position. If the coals and/or the coal matrices are damaged they must be replaced with genuine Aarrow replacement sets. Warning: An incorrect coal layout may cause soot to build up inside the fire and therefore invalidate the guarantee.

Ensure the appliance is cold.

Step 1 Place the base matrix on the matrix plate centrally between the end tabs of the location bar. (Fig 4a)

Step 3 Becton 7 only. Locate 2 off end coals each side of the base matrix. (See underside of coals for hand identification) (Fig 4c).

Fig 4c

Fig 4a

Step 2 Place the rear matrix cut out section over the base matrix and centralise the assembly between the end tabs of the location bar. Ensure the rear matrix is pushed back against the location bar. (Fig 4b)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

LIGHTING & CONTROLLING THE FIRE

Under no circumstance must the fire be operated if the glass is cracked or broken.

Open the gas control access door situated at the bottom of the appliance. Always use the control door HANDLE.

Step 1a. To ignite the pilot push the control knob in, turn anti-clockwise towards the spark position and hold in for 15 seconds. (Fig 5a)

The pilot can be viewed through the L/H & centre front slots in the base matrix.

Fig 5a

Step 1b. Keep the control knob pressed in and turn

anti-clockwise to the pilot position. (Fig 5b)

Fig 5b

Step 1c. Keep the control knob pressed in for a further 15 seconds and then release. The pilot will remain alight.

If pilot does not remain alight repeat this procedure.

Please note that when purging the gas supply it is usual to have to keep the control knob depressed in the spark position for longer periods of time.

Step 2. To ignite the main burner, rotate the control knob anti-clockwise to the HIGH position (fig 5c)

Fig 5c

For maximum heat output leave the control knob at the high position

For minimum heat output, rotate the control knob clockwise to the LOW position. (Fig 5d)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Fig 5e

Step 3. To turn the main burner off while keeping the pilot alight, rotate the operating knob back to the PILOT position. (Fig 5e)

Fig 5f

Step 4. To extinguish the pilot, turn the control knob to the OFF position. (Fig 5f)

Incorporated into the pilot assembly is a flame failure device designed to shut off the gas supply in the event of the pilot flame being extinguished while the fire is unattended.

Should the pilot flame blow out accidentally or intentionally whilst the fire is running, no attempt should be made to re-light the gas for at least three minutes.

To restart the fire turn the control knob to the off position and repeat the lighting & controlling the fire instructions.

The flame failure device is a safety feature required by law and must not be put out of action by the installer. If this device or any of its parts are to be replaced, only original manufacturer's parts are to be used.

Repeated operation of the flame failure device indicates that there maybe a problem with the flue draw. In this situation no more attempts at operating the appliance should take place and your qualified gas engineer should be contacted to investigate and rectify the problem.
