1 Introduction

Note: these instructions should be read carefully and retained for future reference. Please
leave these instructions with the user.
There are two models of the Spectra Frameless:

• Spectra Frameless with steelplated interior

• Spectra Frameless Nostalgic with bricklining

This manual covers both models. Both are developed to be installed in 3 ways:

• Frameless in an existing builders opening or false chimney breast

• in combination with the Jellum surround

• in combination with the Wirdum surround

Specific information about the installation of both surrounds can be found in the
installation guide delivered with the Jellum and Wirdum surround. Details concerning the
installation of the appliance in relation to the surrounds are explained in this installation
guide.

Special features:

• Realistic flame and glow effect because of the "Log Burner" technology

• Room sealed appliance, inlet and outlet are led to the outside using a natural

draught concentric pipe system (100 mm/150 mm) (no power fan required)

• Air supply and flue-gases go to outside atmosphere through wall or roof. A
maximum horizontal extension of 6 meters is possible

• Remote Control standard on both models

• Meets the requirements of the European Gas Appliance Directive (GAD) and carries

the CE mark

2 Safety and general information

Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the type
of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
This gas appliance is factory set and can not be adjusted.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or any
asbestos related products.
The pilot and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also a safety device. If for any
reason any part of the pilot assembly is to be replaced, the entire assembly, including the
pilot burner, thermocouple, electrode and injector, must be exchanged complete for a
pilot assembly from the original manufacturer only.

Ventilation

This appliance is room-sealed and doesn't require purpose provided ventilation.
Never use the appliance if it has a broken glass.

General safety

It is the law in the UK that all gas appliances, are installed by a competent person in
accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations (as amended), the
relevant British Standards for Installation work, Building Regulations, Codes of Practice and
the manufacturers instructions.
Always use an additional guard if there are elderly, infirm or children in the same room of
the appliance.
The installation should also be carried out in accordance with the following where
relevant:

• BS5871 Part1

• BS5440 Parts 1 & 2

• BS1251

• Building Regulations Document J (as applicable)

• Building Regulations and Standards issued as relevant by the Department of the

Environment or the Scottish Development Department

• In the Republic of Ireland installation should be carried out in accordance with
IS813, ICP3, IS327, Building Regulations, Codes of Practice, the manufacturers
instructions and all other regulations in force

Failure to comply with the above could leave the installer liable to prosecution and
invalidate the appliance warranty.

3 Installation requirements

Note: Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs. Therefore it is of
importance that you do not use the appliance shortly after a renovation of the home. Due
to the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted to the lit appliance. These components can settle
onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed
too near the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind
when installing the appliance.

3.1 Builders opening and surround

The appliance can be installed in the following situations:
In a non-combustible fireplace or builders opening. This could be either an existing
builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
In both cases keep the following in mind:

• do not place the appliance on combustible materials or carpets

• the (false) chimney breast has to be made of non-combustible material (e.g.

Promatect)

• do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the appliance. If
possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something similar

• always ventilate the space above the appliance. Use a Faber ventilation grid

• to avoid cracking, the plaster has to dry for at least 1 day per millimetre plaster

• to avoid discolouring the plaster has to be heat resistant to min. 100 °C

• in case of a surround the front of the appliance has to stick sufficiently out of the

wall:

o Jellum surround: 50mm
o Wirdum surround: 166mm
