3. Installation Parameters

The fire unit must be installed and used in accordance with these instructions.

This appliance is for decorative purposes. For your safety it is law that all gas appliances must be installed by a

competent person, in accordance with the current gas safety regulations applicable in the country of use. The installation must be carried out in accordance with the relevant local and national specifications and comply with building regulations.

The following must comply with the requirements and satisfy Building Regulations – Approved Document J.

 Builders opening and Fire Chamber must be constructed of

non-combustible material

 Hearth and clearance dimensions  The minimum flue opening is 178mm (7”) diameter 250 sq.

cm. (38.5 sq. inches) and a minimum height of 3m (10ft), provided the flue which serves this appliance.

An in-line fan that complies with BS 5440: Part 1 can be used to improve flue draught.

NOTE - The flue must not be shared with any other appliance. Prior to installation, ensure the compliance of local distribution

conditions (E.g. The type of gas, pressure and the adjustment of the appliance) are compatible.

The builder's opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a non-combustible material.

Before the fire is installed, the chimney should be swept and a flue test in accordance with National Regulations should be carried out.

The flue must be fitted in accordance with National Regulations, damper plates or flue restrictors must be removed or fixed permanently in the fully open position.

The gas connection must be in accordance with National Regulations. The pilot light and flame sensing system fitted to this fire is also an

atmosphere sensing device, this is not adjustable and must not be put out of action. If the pilot light is damaged or faulty it should be replaced only with the original identical unit supplied by Chesney’s Limited.

The room where the appliance is to be fitted must have a permanent air vent with a minimum effective area of 100cm sq. to the outside air in accordance with National Regulations and must be checked on a regular basis to ensure there is no obstruction.

This appliance must not be fitted in any room where steam is present (e.g. Bathroom).

The appliance is not fitted with an integral guard. It is recommended that a guard be used for the protection of young children, the elderly or infirm and also for normal use conforming to BS8423:2002, such that access to the flame is minimised.

It is advised not to stand too close to the appliance for prolonged periods of time; loose clothing is particularly at risk of burning due to the presence of an unguarded flame.

It is also advised against placing combustible materials directly in front of the appliance. Floor coverings, such as carpets, are considered to be acceptable.

Due to the newness of materials, the fire may give off a slight smell for a period of time after commissioning. This is quite normal and any odours should dissipate within a few hours of operation.

4. Installation

Check flue soundness

A smoke pellet can be used to test the flue for effectiveness of the draw, also checking other parts of the dwelling (including loft areas) for leakage, downdraught etc. If the flue is unsatisfactory seek advice from a flue specialist.

NOTE – The smoke pellet gives a fair idea on the draw, but is no guarantee that the products of combustion from the fire unit will clear, this is also to be tested after the installation by carrying a spillage test.

Below is a guide to the flue diameter and minimum flue heights for different size openings. NOTE - This table is a rough guide, due to some complex flue systems in some dwellings the suggested table may still be inadequate, contact a flue specialist for more advice.

Check Ventilation

Ensure the room the appliance is to be fitted has suitable ventilation the size and type of ventilation should take into account any other gas appliance in the room.

The room where the appliance is to be fitted must have a permanent air vent to the outside air in accordance with Local and National Regulations. The air vent must be checked on a regular basis to ensure there is no obstruction.

Fitting the fire unit

The burner unit has been supplied in an assembled state with exception of clay granules and coals/logs. All Chesney’s fire units have been tested to ensure safety.

Ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with the rules in force.

When laying the gas pipe work check the fire unit’s gas inlet location to ensure a smooth run. NOTE – All gas work must be carried out by a qualified gas installer to all relevant regulations.

An isolation valve or valves must be fitted adjacent to the appliance in accordance with national regulations this is to allow the complete removal of the burner control assembly, for maintenance or repair.

Chesney’s fire baskets (Sold separately) are supplied with a grate; this is not needed for gas appliances and must be removed.

On certain types of fire baskets (mainly curved baskets) both grate structure bars must be removed to enable the fitting of the burner unit.

Secure the fire unit to the fire basket.

When fitting the fire ensure that the unit is fitted under the flue opening so that no part of the fire bed protrudes beyond the fireplace opening.

Before connecting the fire unit purge the pipes from air and debris. Light the fire on maximum and run for approximately 20mins and check that the hot

burner pressure is in accordance with the values stated on page 4 within the appliance specifications.

The Burner is fitted with a metal data plate supplied with the fire unit and is to remain with the fire unit for annual services. Image of the data plate shown below:-

Operation Lighting Procedure

1) Turn Knob A (figure 1) slightly left towards the ignition position until reaching stop, press down and hold for five seconds (only pilot gas flows).

2) Continue pressing down knob A while turning further left to activate piezo, continue to hold

down for 10 seconds after pilot has been lit. If pilot does not light, steps 1 and 2 can be repeated immediately.

3) Upon lighting, release knob and turn further left to ON position. Pilot gas flows and main gas flows in accordance to the setting (knob B).

Adjusting the flame height

To turn the fire on and/or to increase the flame height, press the ON button of the remote handset. Continue pressing until the desired flame height is obtained. Press and hold the OFF button to reverse the procedure. The receiver is equipped with a built-in delay, recognizable by the flickering light, to facilitate fine adjustment of the flame. The motorized valve is equipped with a slip clutch, allowing manual adjustment of main gas by turning knob B.

Shut-off Procedure

1) Turn knob A right until reaching stop. In this position only pilot gas flows.

2) To shut off the valve completely, press down slightly and continue turning right from pilot

position to the OFF • position. The safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame

until the thermocouple has cooled down sufficiently (elapsed time will vary based on the thermocouple type).

3) Switching off the remote is not necessary.

12. User Instructions

General

The flue must be fitted in accordance with National Regulations, damper plates or flue restrictors must be removed or fixed permanently in the fully open position.

The chimney should be swept before the appliance is installed. The flue must not be shared with any other appliance. After installation the chimney should be regularly swept and inspected, to

check that all of the combustion products are entering the flue and that there is no build up of soot.

It is highly recommended that a full service on the fire unit including flue checks be carried out annually by competent person/s.

The gas connection must be in accordance with National Regulations. Installation and servicing must be carried out by a competent person in line

with relevant regulations. This appliance is intended for decorative purposes. Any purpose-provided

ventilation should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction.

Ensure curtains and soft furnishings are not positioned above the fire opening with at least a clearance of at least 300mm above and 150mm on either side of the fire opening.

Do not throw rubbish upon the surface area or otherwise disturb the fuel bed. Debris from any source, or soot formed, should be removed from time to time.

The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an atmosphere sensing device, which shuts off both the main burner and pilot if evacuation of the combustion products is interrupted. If the fire is extinguished or goes out in use, allow 3 minutes before attempting to relight following the lighting sequence stated in ‘Lighting the appliance’ (Pages 49 to 54). If the fire shuts itself off repeatedly, do not use the fire, and have the flue and fire checked by a suitably qualified person.

Lighting the appliance (GV34/GV36)

Ensure the left control knob is pointing to the off position, and the right control knob is turned to the high position.

Firmly push the left control knob in and turn counter-clockwise until a click is heard, whilst held in check to see if the pilot is lit and hold in for 10 seconds (If the pilot is not lit repeat the operation). Gently release, if the knob does not pop up when released, STOP and immediately call your service technician or gas supplier. If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier. (If the pilot goes out repeat the procedure).

Turn the appliance to the lighting position.

Use either the handset (GV34 Models) or manually turn the knob on the right side to high rate for 5 to 10 minutes to heat up the appliance and chimney. After this time the unit can be adjusted between HIGH and LOW.

To put the gas control into the pilot position turn the right control knob to the position shown below.

Turning the gas appliance off (GV34/GV36)

Set the right control knob to the high position, and the left control knob to the OFF position.

After turning the appliance off, the gas left in the burner will continue to burn making popping and crackling noises for around 30 seconds this is normal.

GV60 Lighting

GV60

ON(1)/OFF(0) Switch

If the GV60 control unit makes a long beep the on/off switch is set on the OFF (0) position, switch the unit to the ON (1) position.

The GV60 is fully remote controlled. (The GV60 is only available in Infra-red for safety regulations).

When lighting the fire the remote control must have ‘line of sight’ to sensor. The Infra-red remote sensor is situated close to the fire unit; the placement may

differ depending on the type of fire basket.

To light the fire unit you must press and hold both buttons (star, up arrow) and the small lower button until a short acoustic signal confirms the start sequence has begun; release buttons. Continuing signals confirms the ignition is in process. The fire unit will then light on High rate; if the fire unit is cold it is advised to leave the burner on high rate for at least 5-10 minutes to warm up the flue before turning between the ‘High and Low rates.

When the fire has warmed the flame height can be adjusted between ‘High and Low’ by pressing either both the (up arrow) to increase flame height, or pressing the (down arrow) to decrease flame height. The pilot can just remain lit this is done by holding the (down arrow) until the fire unit turns off the main burner. To go from the lit pilot to main press the (up arrow). To turn off the fire unit completely press the off button.
