1 Introduction

The fire can only be installed by a competent
person in accordance with the Gas Safety
Installation and Use regulations. We urgently
advise you to read this installation manual
properly.
This appliance complies with the guidelines
for European gas appliances (Gas Appliances
Directive) and bears the CE mark.

2 Safety instructions.

• The appliance should be placed,
connected and annually checked in
accordance with these installation
instructions and valid national and
local Gas Safety (Installation and Use)
Regulations .

• Check whether the data on the
registration plate are in agreement
with the local type of domestic gas
and pressure.

• It is not permitted to change the
adjustments or the construction of
the appliance!

• Do not place any additional imitation
logs or glowing coals on the burner or
in the combustion chamber.

• The appliance has been designed for
ambience and heating purposes. This
means that all surfaces of the
appliance , including the glass, can
become very hot (hotter than 100
°C). An exception to this are the
bottom of the appliance and the
controls.

• Do not place any combustible
materials within 0.5 m. of the
radiation of the appliance and
ventilation grills.

• Due to natural air circulation of the
appliance, moisture and volatile
components from paint, building
materials, floor coverings etc. that
haven’t yet set, can be drawn through
the convection system and can be
deposited on cold surfaces as soot.
That is why you should not use the
appliance shortly after a renovation.

• The first time the appliance is
switched on, Let the fire run on
maximum setting for several hours so
that the lacquer coating will have an
opportunity to set and possible
vapours released can be safely
removed by ventilation. We advise

you to be outside the room as much
as possible during this process!

• Please note that:

1. all transport packaging should be
removed.

2. children or pets should not be
present in the room.

• No extra ventilation is required, due
to the fact that the input of the
appliance is not exceeding 7,0 kW.

3 Installation requirements

3.1 The fire

The fire is tested for installation without a
hearth.
Make 2 non combustible supports on the left
and the right side of the burner unit. (see fig.

1.1)

3.2 Chimney breast

The appliance must be built into a non
combustible existing or a new to be
constructed false chimney breast.

D = max. 60mm wall thickness
E = 460mm 430mm

Combustible shelf
F = min. 350mm
G = max.150mm

If the shelf depth is greater than 150mm, add
50 mm to shelf clearance height for every 25
mm increase in shelf depth

For the dimensions of the fire see chapter 11
till 14.

The false chimney breast must be ventilated
on top and bottom with a minimum opening
of 200cm2.
The false chimney breast and its construction
may not rest on the appliance.
Therefore always use a lintel for a brick build
chimney.
For the minimum dimensions see fig 1.8.

For the finish, use special stucco (min. 100°C
resistant) or glass fibre wallpaper to prevent
discoloration or cracks etc. Recommended
drying time: for plaster is a minimum of 24
hours per mm of coat applied.

The flue connector collar is for connection to
a 125 mm (5 inch) internal diameter pipe or
liner according BS EN 1856.
The minimum effective height of the flue
system must be 3 meter.

Rear outlet

In case of an installation in a masonry
chimney convert the outlet to the rear outlet.
Therefore unscrew the top outlet and fit the
rear outlet on the fire. Take care to fill up all
the holes with the screws.(see fig.1.3)

The top of the chimney must always be higher
then the top of the roof.

4 Preparation and Installation

instructions

4.1 Gas connection

The gas connection must comply with locally
valid standards.
We advise Pipe work from the meter to the
appliance must be of adequate size. An
isolator is factory fitted, no further isolation
device is required. Place the gas connection
in such a way that it is accessible for service
and the burner unit can be disconnected at all
times.

4.2 Preparation of the appliance

• Remove the packaging of the
appliance.

• Clear a safe space to store the glass.

• Remove the glass (see chapter 5) and

take the separately wrapped parts out
of the appliance.

• Prepare the gas connection.

• Prepare the flue connection.

• If necessary convert to rear outlet

(see chapter 3.3).

• If necessary convert to framed
version.
Therefore:
A. Remove the build in frame (see

fig.3.1)

B. Fit the frame support. (see

fig.3.2)

C. The frame now can be hung on

the support. (see fig.3.3)

4.3 Batteries.

The battery pack is fixed on a chain inside the
burner unit on the right side. (see fig.2.2)
Pull the chain to remove it.

To avoid overheating take care that the

in the burner unit.

4.4 Placing the appliance

Take the installation requirements into
account (see chapter 3).

Masonry chimney

Cut out the opening so that the appliance can
be fitted easily.

prepare the 2 non combustible supports on
the left and the right side in the builders
opening (see fig. 1.1)

For a Top outlet connection

Pull a 5 inch liner into the chimney.
Fit the fire in the builders opening and
connect the liner on the top outlet.

For a Rear outlet installation

Fit the fire in the builders opening, use the
supplied glass fibred-seal to seal the fire box

6 Placing the log set, decoration

material

It is not allowed to add different or more
materials to the combustion chamber.
Always keep the pilot burner free from
decorative material!
Do not toss all the decorative material onto
the burner all at once, as the very fine dust
may block the holes in the burner.

6.1 Imitation logs

• Spread the vermiculate preferably by
hand over the tube burner in the
burner-slot. The surface of the
vermiculate may be very slightly
elevated from the burner plate but it
should be levelled throughout the
entire length.

• Place the imitation logs according to
instructions. (see fig.4.1) or the
instruction card)

• Start the pilot and main burner,
according to the instructions in the
user’s manual. Assess whether the
flame distribution is correct.

• Place the glass and check the flame
picture into the appliance

6.2 Pebbles

• Place the pebbles over the burner in
the burner holder. Do not cover the
grid in the front. Spread the pebbles
evenly to a double layer. The surface
of the pebbles may be very slightly
higher then the burner tube (see
fig.4.2)

• Place the glass and check the flame
picture.

7 Checking the installation

7.1 Checking the ignition of the pilot
burner, main burner.

Start the pilot and main burner following
the instructions in the user’s manual.

• Check whether the pilot light is
properly positioned above the main
burner and is not covered by
vermiculite and imitation log or
pebbles.

• Check the ignition of the main burner
at full mark or low mark.
(the ignition should take place quickly
and easily).

7.2 Checking for gas leakage.

Check all connections and joints for possible
gas leaks by means of a gas leak detector or
spray

7.3 Checking the burner pressure and the
inlet pressure

Check whether the burner pressure and the
inlet pressure measured agree with the data
indicated on the registration plate

7.4 Measuring the inlet pressure:

• Turn off the gas control.

• Get access to the burner unit by

removing the glass, log set and
bottom plates as described in chapter

8.4.

• Open the pressure gauge nipple B (see
fig.2.6) a few turns and connect a
pressure gauge hose to the gas control
valve.

• Fit the burner plate with burner (see
fig. 2.4).

• Carry out the measurement when the
appliance is on at full gas mark and
when it is on the pilot light.

• If the inlet pressure is too high you
are not permitted to connect the
appliance.

7.5 Measuring the burner pressure:

Only perform this measurement if the
inlet pressure is correct.

• Follow the steps as described in
chapter 7.4 to get access to the
burner unit.

• Open the pressure gauge nipple A (see
fig.2.6) a few turns and connect a
pressure gauge hose to the gas control
valve.

• The pressure must agree with the
value indicated in the technical data
in chapter 10. In case of deviations,
get in touch with the manufacturer.

*Close the pressure gauge nipples and check
these for gas leaks.

7.6 Spillage test

• Carry out the lighting procedure and
turn the fire to high.

• Allow to warm up for 15 minutes and
then using a smoke match with holder
set 100% inside the middle part on top
of the appliance (see fig.2.1) between
the trim and the glass frame. The
installation is satisfactory if most of
the smoke is drawn into the tube.

• Repeat the test with doors and
windows to the premises open and
closed, and with any extractor fans in
