1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

The fire is suitable for hearth mounting or wall mounting. It must not

be fitted
directly onto a carpet or other combustible material. It must not be fitted to
combustible walls.
This fire is suitable for the following hearth / surround types:
Non-combustible hearths / surrounds.
Purpose made proprietary hearths / surrounds with a minimum temperature rating

of 150oC.

If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a
fireplace or fire surround, soft wall coverings such as wallpaper, blown vinyl,
etc. could be affected by the heat and may, therefore scorch or become
discoloured. Please bear this in mind when installing or decorating.

1.4 SHELF POSITION

The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 200 mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150 mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150 mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 25 mm for every 25 mm of additional
overhang over 150 mm.

1.5 SIDE CLEARANCE

A minimum clearance of 100mm should be allowed on either side of the fire for
servicing. Any fire surround uprights should not project forward by more than
100mm.
NOTE. The fire must be installed so that no part of a combustible side wall when
measured laterally is less than 500mm from the radiants.

1.6 CLOSURE PLATE

A closure plate is supplied with this fire and must be fitted. The closure plate must
be sealed to the fireplace or surround opening with suitable adhesive tape. See
section 2.2.2

1.7 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION

Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.

a) Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fireplace and is clear of

any obstruction. Any obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must
be removed or locked in the open position.

5

b) Brick / stone built chimneys and any chimney or flue which has been

used for an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly
swept. The base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared
of debris etc.

Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off.

Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and
check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney
during and after the smoke pellet test.

With pre-cast flues it is especially important to check the inside of the flue
for extruded cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue
blocks. If present, these should be removed by rodding the flue before
proceeding with the installation.

Using a smoke pellet, check that there is a positive up draught present in the
chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the terminal / chimney
pot outside. There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the
chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside
upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal
and general condition of the chimney brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue
is in poor condition or if there is no up draught do not proceed with the installation.
If there is a history of down draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested
and certified flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be
considered.

A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of the
appliance.

1.8 CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE.

1.8.1 Brick Built Chimneys.

The catchment space below the flue spigot should be as deep as
possible, and must not be less than 250mm measured from the bottom
of the flue spigot to the bottom of the catchment space, or to the top of
any “bricking-up” of the fireplace, whichever is the least. See Fig. 1.

The flue spigot must pass through the closure plate at least 25mm and
have a minimum clearance of 50mm between its open end and the
nearest obstruction. There must be a minimum clearance of 165mm
between the back of the closure plate and the back of the catchment
space. See Fig. 1 overpage.

6

The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm
wide, and between 500mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger
than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com
bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum
flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure
plate can be sealed to the fireplace.
Any surround must be sealed to the fireplace to prevent leakage. The
operation of the chimney should be tested a detailed as in section 1.7.

Note. A flue spigot extension of up to a maximum total length of 125mm
may be fitted if necessary, providing that a minimum clearance
50mm between its open end and nearest obstruction is always
maintained.

Fig.1. Chimney Catchment Space.

1.8.2 Fitting to Pre-Fabricated twin wall metal Flue Boxes.

The appliance may be fitted to a twin wall metal flue box conforming to
the constructional requirements of BS 715, (for example the Selkirk LFE
125 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm
internal and minimum internal dimensions of 160mm deep by 580mm
high by 350mm wide. There are no maximum dimensional requirements
for the box. The top face of the box must be insulated with a minimum
thickness of 50mm of non-combustible mineral wool insulation or similar
material. The flue box must stand on a non-combustible base of
minimum thickness 12mm.

1.8.3 Fitting to Pre-Cast Flue Installations.

The pre-cast opening must be a minimum of 122.7cm2or
equivalent cross-sectional area and have a minimum effective flue
height of 3 metres. The flue spigot restrictor must be removed when
installing into pre-cast flue applications. This appliance has been

tested for use in a pre-cast flue block complying with BS EN 1858.
In accordance with BS EN 1858, pre-cast flues built with directly
plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as to
ensure proper operation with any type of gas fire. In some
instances of this flue construction, temperature cracking of
surface plaster may occur through no fault of the appliance. An air
gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to
prevent normal flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces.

1.9 HEARTH FITTING

This appliance must only be installed on to a level concrete or non­combustible hearth. The feet must not be removed when installing
directly onto a hearth.The hearth material must be a minimum thickness
of 13 mm with the outer perimeter of the hearth panel at least 50 mm
above the floor level, to discourage the placing of carpet or other floor
coverings over it. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the
fire opening and have a minimum width of 760 mm and a minimum
projection of 350 mm forwards from the fire opening.

1.10 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring
system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut
the fire off in the event of partial or complete blockage of the flue
causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire
is operating. The following are important warnings relating to the

spillage monitoring system:

The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the
Installer. The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of action.
When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged, only a complete
original Manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to replace
individual parts on the pilot system on the appliance, only a complete

dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire. Never use aerosols or
flammable cleaning products near to the fire when it is in use.

The ceramic coal effect fuel-bed remains hot for a considerable period after
use and sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning
etc. The fire must only be operated with the glass panel in place.

IMPORTANT :
THE FIRE MUST ONLY BE OPERATED
WITH THE DECORATIVE FENDER
FRONT IN PLACE

OPERATING THE FIRE

a) Light the pilot by depressing the control knob at the “off” position and

turn anti-clockwise (with the control depressed) to the second position

marked *.
b) When the pilot lights, (pilot can be seen between the coals and fuelbed

base through the side window) hold the control knob down for 10

seconds.
c) If the pilot fails to light, repeat the ignition sequence and hold in the

control knob for slightly longer.
d) When the pilot has lit, release the control knob from the depress

position, depress slightly again and turn the control anti-clockwise to the

HIGH position.
e) It is recommended that the fire is left in the HIGH position to warm up

for approximately 10 minutes before turning to the required heat setting.

WARNING
If the fire goes out for any reason or is turned off and it is
necessary to relight the fire it is important to allow the fire to cool
for 3 minutes before attempting to re-light it.

SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with a spillage monitoring system which shuts down the fire
if the evacuation of combustion products from the fire is affected by a partially or
fully blocked flue.
If this system operates the fire will go out. If this occurs, leave the fire for at least
three minutes then follow the lighting procedure as described in the previous
section. In the event of repeated operation a GAS SAFE registered gas

installer must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.

CLEANING - WARNING

Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to
fully cool.

CLEANING THE FUELBED / COALS

We do not recommend regular cleaning of the fuelbed ceramics as these are
fragile and damage may result. None of these parts must be washed or
exposed to any cleaning agents or water.
Any damaged parts must be replaced by contacting your dealer or telephoning
BFM Europe Ltd. on the number stated on the rear cover of this book. The
fuelbed ceramics must only be replaced with a complete and genuine replacement
set and the fire must never be run with the wrong number or damaged coals. The
fuelbed ceramics must be carefully re-assembled as stated in pages 6 - 8 of this
book.

LIGHTING WITH A SPILL

Important do not light with a wax taper

In the unlikely event of the piezo ignition unit failing to light the fire, turn the control
knob to the OFF position, and wait a minute or so for the gas to disperse. The fire
can then be lit by using a spill.

a) Remove the front casting by lifting upwards. Apply a lighted spill

at the pilot tip. Light the pilot by depressing the control knob at the “off”

position and turn anti-clockwise (with the control depressed) to the

second position marked *.

b) When the pilot lights, remove the spill and continue to hold the control

knob down for 10 seconds.

c) If the pilot fails to light, repeat the ignition sequence and hold in the

control knob for slightly longer.

d) When the pilot has lit, refit the front casting, release the control knob

from the depressed position, depress slightly again and turn the control

anti-clockwise to the high position.

WARNING: The front casting MUST be fitted prior to turning the control knob
from the pilot position.

WARNING : Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire
has been allowed to fully cool.
