2 Safety Instructions

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

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.

Because of the natural circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint,

building materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle themselves

down onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.

As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown vinyl wallpaper placed

too near to the appliance may become scorched or discoloured. This should be born in

mind when installing the appliance.

3.1 Rear surface construction

The rear wall upon which the appliance is to be fixed must meet these general

requirements:

• The rear wall must be of a non-combustible material (see figure 1 for drilling

patern)

• Minimum distance from the back of the appliance to the wall has to be 22mm. This

gap should be maintained by the mounting brackets which fit flush onto the rear

wall

• The plaster has to be resistant to a high temperature. Therefore use plaster

materials especially made for this, to prevent discolouring (min. 100°C temperature

resistance)

• Make sure any plaster dries well before using the appliance. Let the thickness in

mm be the number of days the plaster has to dry, e.g. 3mm plaster has to dry for 3

days

• Although the appliance is tested for installation without a hearth, the appliance

must not stand on combustible materials or carpet

• Do not place any material directly onto the appliance

• Minimum distance to any combustible material should be either 200 mm or 400 mm

(see figure 2)

3.2 Dimensions of the appliance

For the dimensions of the appliance see figure 3.

4 Installation-instructions

4.1 Gas connection

• Installation pipes should be in accordance with BS 6891. Pipe work from the meter

to the appliance must be of adequate size

• The complete installation including the meter must be tested for soundness and

purged as described in the above code

• A means of isolation must be provide in the supply to facilitate servicing

• The connection should be made in 8 mm copper or similar semi flexible tube (max 1

meter). Ensure that the gas pipe does not interfere with the removal or

replacement of the burner tray of the controls

• The gas connection is nut and olive suitable for 8 mm pipe

Make sure there is a gas connection with a diameter of 8 mm goes directly from the gas

meter to the appliance, with a CE-approved sealing valve G 1/2". This valve has to be

accessible at all times. Check the connection for gas leaks.

Mount the supplied nut and olive of 8 mm directly on the gas unit. Then you can go on

installing a fixed or flexible connection. This has to be CE certified.

When installed as described above, the burner can always be disassembled for servicing.

4.2 Installing the appliance

• Check if the wall is sufficiently level. If necessary, improve it

• Insulate the back wall (if necessary) with promatect or comparable inflammable

material

• Position the saddle and mark the hole centres on the rear wall, drill the wall and

attach saddle using three screws and nylon inserts (see figure 1 and 2)

• Place the appliance on the Saddle, mark the hole centres for the Top Clamps (see

figure 3)

• Remove the appliance, and drill the holes for the clamps. Using two screws and

nylon inserts fit the clamps to the wall, with the clamps slid up the screws

• Replace the appliance onto the saddle and attach to the Top Clamps. Insert the

screws to retain the appliance to the saddle

• Tighten all screws with the Gap behind the appliance maintained and the appliance

level

• Prepare the gas connection

• Attach the Front Frame. This sits on the lugs on top of the appliance, and fixes to

the saddle at the bottom using 2 screws (see figure 4)

5 Commissioning (Functional checks)

Always apply these tests before handing over:

5.1 Pilot ignition check

• Ignite the pilot light as described in the user manual

• Check if the pilot burner stays alight

• Extinguish the pilot burner

5.2 Check functional burner and pilot burner

The appliance is preset to give the correct heat input. No further adjustment is necessary.

Always check the inlet pressure and burner pressure:

• Turn off the gas valve on the appliance

• Turn the inlet pressure test point C and apply the manometer

• Check if the measured pressure is the same as the prescribed pressure

• Perform this measuring when the appliance burns on full capacity and when only

the pilot ignition burns

• When the pressure is too low, check if the gas pipes are made of material with the

right diameter

• When the pressure is too high (more than 5 mBar overpressure) you can’t install the

appliance and you should contact your gas company

• Always check the burner pressure when the functional pressure is right

• Open the burner pressure test point D

• The pressure should match the described pressure. If this is not the case, then

contact the supplier

Note: After checking the burner pressure, the inlet pressure test point has to be shut and

checked for gas-tightness.

6 Servicing

To ensure safe and efficient operation of the appliance, it is necessary to carry out routine

servicing at regular intervals. It is recommended, that the fire is inspected/serviced by a

competent person at least once a year.

Important: turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing. Always test for gas

soundness after refitting the appliance.

The appliance and flue connection have to be checked for gas and smoke soundness after

installation.

6.1 Routine servicing

Clean (if necessary):

• the pilot system

• the burner

• the combustion chamber

• the glass

• Do the functional tests

• Check the flue system and terminal on damage and soundness (visual inspection)

6.1.1 Cleaning the glass

Depending on the intensity of use, you can get a deposit on the glass. Normally this can be

removed with an ordinary dry towel. If necessary special ceramic glass cleaner (ceramic

cook-top cleaner) can be used. To clean the glass:

• Remove the Front Frame

• Remove the glass in it’s frame

• Clean the glass. Handle the glass with clean hands, wear gloves if possible

• To fit the glass, proceed in reverse order. Make sure that:

o the glass sealing rope is in good condition and makes an effective seal

o Important

: be sure that there are no fingerprints on the glass. They are

burned in the glass when not removed.

6.1.2 Cleaning the combustion chamber and burner

You can clean the combustion chamber with a vacuum cleaner and soft brush.

If the burner is visibly damaged, this can affect the performance of the appliance. If so,

then replace the relevant parts.

6.1.3 Burner (dis)assembly

• Turn off the gas supply to the control valve

• Remove the glass and grid

• Detach the gas connection

• Unscrew the two screws under the burner assembly and remove it from the

combustion chamber (see figure 7)

• The pilot can be removed by removing the screw in the centre of the pilot

• Replace parts as necessary and re-assemble

6.2 Combustion test

A BS7967 combustion analysis check should be carried out using an analyser to

MantleBS7927 positioned in the outlet.

The performance of the appliance should be checked

6.2.1 Procedure for performance test

Ignite the fire and run at FULL for a minimum of 15 minutes

Record the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) reading at the outlet, most analysers will display this as a

percentage (%)

Repeat test for Carbon Monoxide (CO), this will be measured in Parts Per Million (ppm);

Calculate the combustion ratio (CO/CO2).

This combustion ratio of the emitted gasses should not exceed 0.0015

Ratio = CO (ppm) _
CO2 (%) x 1000
