INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be present. The fire has been designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 (and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. Either a ‘Replacement Chairbrick’ or a BS 1251 chairbrick should also be fitted into the builders’ opening. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base are of the box.

The flue must have an effective height of at least three meters, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue. Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.

A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary before the appliance is installed.

The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow.

This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 175mm.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)

Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor. A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.

A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireplace opening. Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the fireplace opening , providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in). Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source. As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.

VENTILATION

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.

If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater problem should the property be of modern nature. If the appliance does not spill with windows open but does with windows closed, this proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if not, it will be the flue at fault. Installation of an airbrick in these circumstances may be the best solution. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation located underneath or within the immediate vicinity of the fire MUST NOT be used as it may adversely affect the performance of the O.D.S. system.

Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.

For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE

Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.

Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bag containing the coals or pebbles. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any bags containing other fittings or parts. Remove the burner unit from the remaining packaging. Check that the components supplied correlate with the checklist given in section 6.1.

INSTALLATION INTO A CHAIRBRICK

Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.

Smoke test the flue to ensure proper draw and that there are no leaks present. Locate the gas supply point. This appliance is suitable for all gas connections, including those concealed behind the opening. Important Note: Check that the thermocouple connection nut

into the rear of the valve is secure.

Place the appliance into the shaped firebrick, ensuring it does not protrude forward of the fireplace opening. Mark the location of the front support of the tray. Remove the tray and drill the two marked holes with an appropriate masonry bit. Place fibre rawl plugs into the holes. Remove the front support from the appliance by unscrewing from the two front legs.

Position the front foot in the over the holes and secure the front support using suitable screws into the prepared holes. Re-fit the tray into the shaped firebrick, and secure the front legs of the tray to the support

GAS SUPPLY ROUTING

When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed to the appliance. Either an ‘over the hearth’ routing, or a concealed routing may be selected, dependant on the layout of the fireplace, and the location of the incoming supply pipwork.

The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends. This appliance is fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.

The open end of the supply pipe should be sealed temporarily during the installation of the firebox to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust. Using 8mm diameter pipe, connect the appliance to the gas supply point.

The appliance must be fitted with rigid or semi-rigid pipe of 8mm external diameter. The appliance is factory fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.

Use a minimum length of 8mm pipe, less than 1.5m where possible, as a long run of pipe may cause an unacceptable drop in the supply pressure.

The Elegance, Blenheim and Elysee firefronts are specially notched to allow the gas pipe to pass through when an over hearth supply is necessary.

FUEL BED LAYOUT

Please see the relevant section of the user instructions.

FITTING THE FIREFRONT

The appliance may be supplied with one of a number of diffrent firefronts available. Place the firefront directly in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. The Lulworth front may be screwed to the hearth if required.

Do not use any firefront other than the one supplied with the appliance.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of BS5891.

OPERATING THE FIRE (manual control models)

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic. strip. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat. When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If not, retry ignition. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.

OPERATING THE FIRE (manual control models) - continued

To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high (large flame) position. The main burner should light after a few seconds.

To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot position and release.

To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release. A safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled sufficiently to allow the magnetic valve unit to reset itself.

OPERATING THE FIRE (remote control models)

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. Turn the main burner control (shown on left hand side of control valve) knob fully anti-clockwise.

Turn ignition knob (shown on right hand side of control valve) slightly left towards the ignition position until reaching the stop, press down and hold for 5 seconds (only pilot gas is flowing).

Continue pressing down the knob while turning further to the left to activate the piezo spark, continue to hold the knob down for a further 10 seconds after the pilot has been lit. If the pilot does not light repeat the previous steps.

Upon lighting and after the further 10 seconds, release the knob and turn further to the left to the ON position. The main burner will light and be controlled in accordance with the main burner control knob setting. Adjust the main burner control knob to the desired setting.

If the pilot is extinguished during use of the fire, you MUST wait ten minutes before repeating the ignition procedure. To turn the main burner OFF whilst keeping the pilot flame lit, turn the ignition control knob to the pilot position then only the pilot will remain lit.

To shut the fire off completely, press the ignition control knob down and continue turning to the right from the pilot position to the OFF position. A safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled sufficiently to allow the magnetic valve unit to reset itself.

The remote control unit allows operation of the main burner setting between maximum and pilot only setting. It does not permanently turn the pilot on or off. The remote control handset incorporates an inbuilt safety feature to prevent the main burner being activated or turned up accidentally. It is necessary to press button 1 and 2 (see illustration) simultaneously to turn the fire up. To turn the fire down press button 3 only.

SPARK FAILURE

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark.

There should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described, and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.

SETTING PRESSURE

Remove the screw from the pressure test point. The pressure test point is situated on the main injector pipe next to the pilot.

The setting pressure should be in accordance with the figures stated on page 2 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures, and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem.

If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.

If the pressure is too low, then check the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is incorrect it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting or solder flashing across a joint. (NOTE: you will not get an accurate reading of the inlet pressure with a pressure gauge on the end of the supply pipe - this is the static pressure in the system. You must use a T piece and measure the supply pressure with the fire on High - the dynamic pressure). Refit and tighten the screw into the pressure test point when the test is complete.

FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. If a grommet seal has been left out of the firebox (if fitted) then this also will also cause intermittent shutdown. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked. The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply tighten to remedy if this is the case.

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Re-light the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test. The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS. The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer.

If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.

TESTING FOR SPILLAGE

Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 25mm down and 25mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side, run the smoke match across the opening.

TESTING FOR SPILLAGE - continued

All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.

NOTE: If spillage is still indicated after undertaking all of the above, there may be a fault in the flue, or insufficient ventilation is present.

If the problem cannot be rectified immediately, then expert advice should be sought. Inform the user, disconnect the fire, and attach an explanatory label.

BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER

All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire.

After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least one annually.

Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered with matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamination with overspray. Ventilate the room during the use of the spray.

DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or ceramics, or wash them in water.

SERVICING

Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed below.

1. Lay out the dust sheet and tools.

2. Carefully remove the firefront casting, and ceramic components.

3. Check around the top of the fireplace opening for signs signs of spillage.

4. Isolate the gas supply at the appliance inlet elbow, and disconnect the gas supply pipe. Remove the two screws securing the tray to the front support.

5. Lift the burner tray from the chair brick.

6. Check the flue with smoke pellet for correct operation.

7. Strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly.

8. Clean out the injector and pilot assembly. DO NOT attempt to dismantle the pilot unit.

9. Ensure the injector is aligned squarely with the venturi tube. Re-assemble and re-fit the burner tray.

10. Re fit and replace the ceramics, using genuine spares where necessary.

11. Re-fit the decorative front.

12. Turn on the gas supply, and leak test.

13. Check any purpose provided ventilation is un-obstructed.

14. Light the fire and test for spillage.

15. Check setting pressure and safe operation of the appliance.

For specific servicing instructions, see the relevant sections.

CLEANING THE CERAMICS

Remove the firefront and place to one side. Remove the ceramic components. Gently clean in the open air. Be careful not to create dust from the coals.

DISMANTLING THE BURNER TRAY

Remove the tray as previously described. The pilot unit can be removed by undoing the tubing nut, the thermocouple nut on the rear of the valve, lint arrestor, two securing screws, and lifting away. Remove the tubing nut from the valve end of the pilot pipe, and blow through to dislodge any debris that may be present. Clean the exterior of the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through the flame ports on the pilot head. Check the aeration holes are free from lint or dirt. The pilot assembly is a non-serviceable item, and should not be taken apart. The aeration hole must be absolutely clear internally for proper operation. A thoroughly cleaned (inside and out) oxypilot will cure a wide range of ignition faults. Remove the two tubing nuts on the ends of the gas pipe to the injector elbow. Release the screw through the supporting leg and lift assembly clear. The injector pipe can now be checked for debris. Remove the nut retaining the injector elbow. Blow through the elbow to remove any debris. The valve is not field serviceable, apart from the pilot filter. Remove the control knob by pulling it forwards, then remove the largest of the three screws on the face of the valve. Slide the filter out and clean away any debris that may have accumulated. The filter element should also be blown clean. This component should not require replacement, however if signs of deterioration are evident then a genuine spare must be used. If a large amount of debris is present in the filter then the pipework and control should be thoroughly cleaned before re-assembly.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

FIREFRONT

This fire is supplied with a particular style of firefront. Use of the firefront will ensure an adequate airflow under the fuelbed for the correct functioning of this appliance.

Compliance with safety standards cannot be guaranteed if another style of front is used.

CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given below.

A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe. Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the frame of the appliance, providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in). Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source. As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.

VENTILATION

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of

other appliances operating in the same space or room, and the results of a spillage test must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by your CORGI registered installer.

For Republic of Ireland, ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.

FUEL BED LAYOUT (coal effect models)

1. Remove the combustion matrix from its protective packaging, and position onto the burner tray as shown. The front edge of the matrix should sit snugly behind the back edge of the burner rails. Do not fit the matrix on top of the burner rails.

2. Next, remove the front coal strip from its protective packaging and position as shown. The rear edge of the front coal strip should fit in front of the burner rail. Again, do not to place on top of the burner rails. When the front coal is in position bend up the three metal tags at the front of the tray to retain (inset).

3. Open the bag of 16 moulded coals. All of the coals are the same. Take five coals and place them as shown. Care should be taken to ensure that the coals bridge the gap between the front coal and the four coal supports at the front of the matrix. Care should also be taken not to push the coals right down between the coal supports, as this can detract from the flame picture when the appliance is running.

4. Take five more moulded coals and position as shown to form the ‘second row’ of the fuel effect. The coals may be rotated as desired to fit into the gaps between the coal supports in order to create a random, realistic effect. Again, remember not to push the coals down too far into the valleys between the coal supports as this can have a detrimental effect to the flame picture.

5. Now take another four coals and place behind the second row of coals, in order to complete the third row. The coals may be orientated as desired to achieve a realistic effect. Keep the spacing between the coals even and uniform. The two coals at the ends of the row may be placed rearwards, towards the back corners of the fuel matrix.

6. Finally, take the two remaining coals and place at the back of the fuel matrix, in the centre as shown. Adding these coals should complete the appearance of the fuel bed giving an even distribution of equally spaced coals.

The fire is designed to operate correctly with the coals supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the sixteen coals, or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the coal bed.

FUEL BED LAYOUT (pebble effect option)

1. Refer back to section 5.0 - Fuel bed layout (coal effect option) and follow steps 1 and 2. The front strip and fuel effect matrix used for pebble effect versions are of the same design as coal effect versions, but have a different surface finish.

2. Open the bag of 16 ceramic pebbles. All of these pebbles are the same size. Take five pebbles and place them as shown. Care should be taken to ensure that the pebbles bridge the gap between the front strip and the four supports at the front of the matrix. Care should also be taken not to push the pebbles right down between the supports, as this can affect the flame picture when the appliance is running.

3. Take five more ceramic pebbles and position as shown to form the ‘second row’ of the fuel effect. The pebbles may be rotated as desired to fit into the gaps between the supports in order to create a random, realistic effect. Again, remember not to push the pebbles down too far into the valleys between the supports as this can have a detrimental effect to the flame picture.

4. Now take another two pebbles and place behind the second row of coals, next to each other in the centre of the fuel bed. The pebbles may be orientated as desired to achieve a realistic effect. Keep the spacing between the pebbles even and uniform.

5. Finally, take the four remaining pebbles and place at the back of the fuel matrix as shown. Once again, the pebbles may be orientated as desired in order to give a realistic effect. Avoid pushing the pebbles down between the supports. The fuel bed layout is now complete.

The fire is designed to operate correctly with the pebbles supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the sixteen pebbles, or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the fuel bed. Due to the light colour of the pebbles, some discolouration/sooting is to be expected during normal use.

FUEL BED LAYOUT (Log effect option) - continued

1. Refer back to section 5.0 - Fuel bed layout (coal effect option) and follow steps 1 and 2. The fuel effect matrix used for log effect versions is the same design as coal effect versions, but has a different surface finish. The front log strip is of a different design and must be handled with care.

5.1

5.2

FUEL BED LAYOUT (Log effect option) continued

2. Open the bag of 9 moulded ceramic logs. All of the logs except two are the same. Take the largest log (numbered 16) and place it as shown. Care should be taken to ensure that the orientation is correct and the log fits snugly into its position.

3. Take the two medium sized logs (numbered 15 and 8) position the log numbered 8 on the left hand side ensuring correct orientation. Place the log numbered 15 on the right hand side again ensuring correct orientation. Both these logs will fit securely into their allocated poisition, they may require rotating slightly to ensure this.

4. Now take the remaining large log (numbered 4) and position vertically as shown, ensuring correct orientation. The base of this log must rest securely on the front log strip. Take one of the smaller logs (numbered 14) and position in between the two vertically positioned logs ennsuring the orientation is correct. Keep the spacing between these logs uniform.

5. Finally, take the remaining two medium sized logs (numbered 5 and 7) and place in a horizontal position shown, 5 first, resting on the front log strip. 7 next resting on 5. Now take the smallest log (numbered 12) and position in the orientation shown ensuring the log does not fall into the matrix but rests securely on the allocated supports. Now take the final log (numbered 14) and place in a horizontal position as shown. Ensure there is even spacing between the logs and rotate if necessary to provide a stable fit onto the matrix. The fuel bed layout is now complete.

The fire is designed to operate correctly with the logs supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to the nine logs, or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the fuel bed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (manual control models)

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds.

Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (manual control models) - continued

When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If not, repeat ignition. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.

To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burner should light after a few seconds.

To decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting.

To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot position and release.

To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

OPERATING THE FIRE (remote control models)

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. Turn the main burner control (shown on left hand side of control valve) knob fully anti-clockwise.

Turn ignition knob (shown on right hand side of control valve) slightly left towards the ignition position until reaching the stop, press down and hold for 5 seconds (only pilot gas is flowing).

FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. A sealing grommet may have been ommited when the fire was installed, and the original installer should be called to check this, the gas pressure and pipework.

FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM - continued

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check the flue and ventilation and carry out any remedial work required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the flue system is passed as safe.

CLEANING

Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure that the fire is OFF and completely cold. Debris that may form on the firebed should be periodically removed by a competent person. Large deposits could indicate deterioration of the flue. This should be repaired by a competent person, and the fire serviced before further use.

FIREFRAME - This is retained by one of two methods, either by magnetic backing pieces, or a three piece clip-on assembly. The magnetic frame may be removed for cleaning if required, however the clip-on style must not be removed. A wipe with a dry cloth is normally sufficient, but on stains it is permissible to use a damp cloth with a mild household cleaner, followed by a wipe with a dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners as these may damage the finish. To re-assemble ensure the magnets are place on the steel backing pieces, and re-fit to the firebox.

FIREFRONT - Any dust accumulating in the firefront may be removed using a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth. Heavy stains may be removed by using a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Brass parts of the firefront may be cleaned using a suitable brass cleaner. Replace the front centrally against the fire after cleaning.

PAINTED AREAS - These can be cleaned using a dry cloth.

COALS AND CERAMICS - See the relevant section in the installation guide of these instructions. Do not create dust from the coals. Clean gently in the open air. Replace components with original spares only as necessary.

SERVICING

The fire and flue should be checked on an annual basis to ensure all of the product of combustion are entering the flue and that there is no excessive build up of soot. The frequency of service will depend on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually. Servicing must be carried out by a competent

[1]

person.

Cleaning of the coals may be carried out by following the instructions given in the Installation section. The Installation instructions carry full servicing details for the use of the installer.

If debris from the flue or other foreign matter is found on the fire it may indicate a need for servicing. Do not use the fire until the source of the debris has been found and rectified. Air vents (where fitted) should be checked periodically to ensure they are free from obstruction.
