INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing this Burley product. All of our products carry a CE mark which is awarded
by an independent test house (notified body) and shows the fires have been type tested to meet
the essential requirements of the European Gas Appliance Directive and the appropriate British
Standards.

This is a highly efficient Flueless Live Fuel Effect Appliance. The burner system is very clean
burning and a catalyst cleans the combustion products even further.

An oxygen depletion sensing pilot light is also fitted and will sense any significant oxygen
depletion in the room and shut the fire down safely.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Gas appliances must be installed in accordance with the rules in force. In the UK it is the
law that all gas appliances must be installed by a Gas Safe™ registered installer (formerly
CORGI), in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) regulations (as
amended). The installation must also be in accordance with the relevant parts of local and
national building regulations and in accordance with BS5871 pt4 except where Burley
instruction state differently. For the Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to
IS813 and ICP3 and any guidance notes from Bord Gais. Failure to have the fire fitted by a
qualified person nullifies ALL guarantees. In the event of gas leakage, the fire must be
turned off at the nearest isolating valve.

2.2 The space to be heated must have a wall vent of at least 100cm² of ventilation and an
open able window or patio door. The vent must be positioned at least 1 metre away from
the appliance.

2.3 In the Republic of Ireland two vents of not less than 60cm² each, one not less than 1.6m
above the other, must be installed in the room.

2.4 When providing ventilator openings consideration must be given to the avoidance of
locations where discomfort from draughts may cause the user to block the openings.
Similarly the possibility of curtains or furniture blocking ventilation openings must be
considered. Floor vents, closable window vents or chimneys are not suitable means of
ventilation.

2.5 Working surfaces include the air outlet grille.

2.6 The heater must not be used in a room of less than 30m³ in volume. Adjoining spaces, not
separated by a door may be included. To convert cubic feet (ft³) to cubic metre (m³)
divide the room volume in cubic feet by 35.3.

2.7 Soft furnishings, decorations and wall coverings etc. must not be placed within 1 metre of
the appliance and its convection outlets (see 5.0). Be aware of curtains etc which could be
blown towards the appliance.

2.8 The heater is intended as a secondary heat source. Check that a primary source of heat
(such as radiators) is present in the room. If insufficient primary heat is being used there
may be a build-up of condensation, if this is the case, please warn the customer of this.

2.9 The heater must not be used in rooms where the atmosphere is likely to contain water or
chemical vapours which may adversely affect the appliance or its finish.

2.10 Do not use whilst painting & decorating, or in newly decorated rooms as the residues can
lead to unpleasant smells from the appliance. Always cover or have the appliance
removed when decorating. (See points to note on page 14)

2.11 Candles too close to the fire may melt. Scented candles must be at least 1 metre away
from the appliance.

2.12 Air freshener residues can enter the appliance and lead to residual odours, especially the
plug in type.

2.13 The catalyst is not an air cleaner and presence of odours is unlikely to be catalyst failure.

2.14 Houses with warm air heating systems, solid walls, or no damp proof course may be
unsuitable for Flueless appliances.

2.15 This heater does not contain asbestos.

2.16 The oxy pilot can become blocked by fibres from new carpets and pet hairs advise the
customer to vacuum around the pilot on a regular basis to prevent blockage to pilot unit.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND SHELVES

3.1 A non-combustible shelf with projection less than 100mm may be fitted to within 500mm of

the top edge of the fire frame. Note that shelves will get hot and delicate ornaments, wax
candles etc should be kept away from hot surfaces. No combustible shelves should be fitted
for at least 1 metre above the appliance and a similar clearance should be maintained to
ceilings.

3.2 As with all heaters the possibility of convection staining on surfaces in the vicinity of the

heater shall be considered and the user advised. Particular attention should be taken to
ensure soft furnishings such as scatter rugs and curtains are kept at least 1 metre from the
appliance.

3.3 On should the air inlet and/or outlet grilles be covered or blocked in any way as this could

lead to a hazard.

3.4 On no account should glass mirrors or picture frames or any electrical equipment e.g.

plasma screen TV’s be fitted or positioned on the wall above the appliance as the heat
rising could damage them.

3.5 The user shall be advised when relevant that hot convection air from the grille outlet

induces the possibility of staining on surfaces in the vicinity of the appliance. This can be
caused by the effect of heat on the finish and also burned dust & tobacco particles etc.
being carried in the convection currents of the fire. Particular attention should be taken to
ensure soft furnishings such as soft cushions and curtains are kept at least 1 meter from the
appliance. Blown vinyl and flock and embossed wallpapers can be scorch damaged by being
too close to a heat source and may discolour over a period of time.

REMOVING AND REFITTING GLASS & DECORATIVE TRIM

4.1 To remove the glass, remove the decorative trim and then the 4 screws in the side frames

and pivoting it out from the bottom then remove glass from its top channel. Refitting is done
in reverse order.

4.2 Note: the glass is a functional part of the appliance and it must not be operated without the

glass correctly fitted.

5. OPTIONAL FUEL LAYOUT

A bag of loose chippings is supplied for fitting in the appliance, if desired they can be
distributed in the chippings trays to the front and rear of the burner outlet. Chippings
should be evenly distributed and it is very important that on no account should the
chippings obstruct the burner outlet, flame paths or pilot burner. Always replace the glass
after laying the chippings. Do not attempt to use the unit with broken / damaged glass

Do not use additional or non-standard chippings, coals, logs etc.

TO LIGHT THE HEATER

BURLEY APPLIANCES IS THE ONLY COMPANY TO BENCH RUN AND THOROUGHLY TEST
EVERY SINGLE GAS FIRE IT PRODUCES. BURLEY IS IN THE UNIQUE POSITION OF
KNOWING THAT EVERY APPLIANCE LEAVES THE FACTORY IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER.

6.1 To light the fire, first ensure the control knob is turned clockwise to OFF. (Figure 2) Press

the control knob for several seconds then turn slowly anticlockwise to the ignition
position (spark). A click will be heard and the pilot (to the rear of the burner) should
light. If it does not, repeat the operation a few times to purge any air in the pipe.
Continue to hold knob for 15 – 20 second to establish the pilot and then release. If pilot
fails to establish, turn off, wait 1 minute then repeat lighting procedure. Rotate the knob
to high flame to light then back to the desired flame position.

6.2 Control the fire by the flame setting to suit your mode of use

6.3 To turn the fire off, rotate the knob fully clockwise back to a vertical position.

6.4 SPARK FAILURE The gap between the pilot electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 –

4.5mm and normally adjustment is not necessary (the electrode is very brittle). The
spark should jump across the gap between the electrode and the gas outlet on the
pilot head.

6.5 DUE TO THE SENSITIVE NATURE OF THE OXY PILOT, IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE
PILOT TO EXTINGUISH UP TO/AFTER 1 MINUTE WHEN FIRST LIT. RELIGHT AND THE
PILOT WILL STAY ALIGHT. THIS IS DUE TO THE MOIST GASES FORMED BY THE PILOT
DROPPING DOWN AND SNUFFING IT. IT IS SAFE TO LEAVE THE PILOT ON 24 HOURS
A DAY TO MAKE LIGHTING EASIER.

6.6 Oxygen Depletion Pilot System There is a highly sensitive oxygen depletion sensor

designed into the pilot light and may not light first time or may extinguish after a few
minutes, please advise the customer of this. If any part of the OXY Pilot is damaged
the entire unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to bend or alter the flame head,
thermocouple or aeration hole. Use only genuine spare parts as similar looking parts
from other appliances may well give different or inferior performance and could lead
to a hazard.

6.7 Fireguards A fireguard is not supplied with this appliance and being wall mounted, the
need for one will have to be assessed depending on the position, height from ground
etc of the fire; however it is recommended that a fireguard to BS8423 is fitted if the
fire is to be used in the presence of young children, the elderly and the infirm.

6.8 Completion of Warranty Card. The installer section of the guarantee card must be
filled in fully to validate the warranty. I.e. pressure, model, room size and Gas
Safe™ registered installer (formerly CORGI) Number

SERVICING

As with all gas appliances the unit must be serviced at least once per year, preferably at
the beginning of the heating season. All servicing must be carried out by a qualified
service person. See installation instructions for details.

Due to our policy of continual improvement and development the exact accuracy of

descriptions and illustrations can not be guaranteed.

Points to Note!

• If the customer smokes tobacco products, lives near a busy road or is cooking with a gas

oven/hob at the time of testing you must ensure that an ambient CO reading is taken
before lighting the fire and attempting a reading.

• Does the catalytic convertor need replacing? The catalytic convertor does not need

replacing unless it has become physically broken or the combustion test shows
deterioration in performance over time. To constantly test the performance of the
catalytic converter, our laboratory has been running appliances eight hours per day, five
days per week, for up to seven years. Periodically we send catalytic converters back to the
manufacturer for testing. After the equivalent of 30 years of use, the catalytic converter is
as efficient as it was when brand new. Burley manages to achieve this by designing the
fire to ensure that the catalytic converter is in exactly the right position for long life and
maximum efficiency. (For other makes of fire please consult the relevant manufacturer).
Only use replacement catalyst supplied by Burley.

• If you or the customer detects any odours from the fire please remember that the

catalytic convertor is not an air filter and does not remove smells. Any ceramics in the fire
can absorb household smells and in turn these smells get emitted when the fire is lit,
especially if the fire is used in an enclosed space for a period of time. If this is the case we
recommend that the fire is run on maximum for at least 5 hours with the doors and
windows open. This should be done at least twice a year, preferably in the spring and
autumn or at any time they notice a smell.

• We do not advise the burning of wax candles within 1 metre of the fire. Wax particles can

become airborne and deposit and solidify in the fire causing potential combustion
problems.

• The catalyst can also be affected by airborne paint smells and vapors from some plug in

air fresheners. The fire must be removed or sealed if you plan to decorate anywhere in
the house. If you can detect smells from the fire carry out the burning off procedure as
above.

Further information regarding the catalytic convertor and Flueless fires in general can
be found on our website www.burley.co.uk
