INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

1.1 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION

It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a CORGI Registered Installer, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 as amended. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution. It is in your own interest and that of safety to comply with the law.

The installation must also be in accordance with all relevant parts of the Local and National Building Regulations where appropriate, the Building Regulations (Scotland Consolidation) issued by the Scottish Development Department, and all applicable requirements of the following British Standard Code of Practice.

1. BS 5871 Part 2 Installation of Inset Live Fuel Effect Gas Fires

2. BS 6891 Installation of Gas Pipework

3. BS 5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation

4. BS 1251 Open fire place components

5. BS 715 / BS EN 1856-2 Metal flue pipes for gas appliances

6. BS EN 1858 Clay Flue Blocks and Terminals

7. IS 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation (Republic of Ireland)

No purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this appliance, when installed in G.B. When Installing in I.E. please consult document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, which is issued by the National Standards Authority of Ireland. If installing in Northern Ireland, please consult local building regulations. Any purpose made ventilation must be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.

1.2 FLUE AND CHIMNEY SUITABILITY

This appliance is designed for use with conventional brick built or lined chimneys and fabricated flues and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715 / BS EN 1856-2. All flues must conform to the following minimum dimensions.

Minimum diameter of circular flues 125 mm (Without Flue

Restrictor Fitted)

Minimum effective height of all flue types 3 metres

When fitting to conventional chimneys or 175mm flues it may be desirable to fit the flue restrictor baffle (supplied) to reduce the flue flow and increase the efficiency of the fire. Safe clearance of products must always be checked by carrying out a smoke match test as described.

Page 5

1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

The fire must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials. See page 9 for further details regarding hearth panels.

The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and

proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150oc.

If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind the trim. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc. could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.

1.4 SHELF POSITION

The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional overhang over 150mm.

1.5 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION

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

1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in the open position.

2. Brick/stone built chimneys or 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.

3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.

4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s 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.

5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the chim ney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the terminal / chimney pot outside.

Page 6

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

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 certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be considered.

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

the appliance.

1.6 FIRE PLACE OPENING AND CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE

The front opening of the fire place must be between 350mm and 400mm wide, and between 490 and 500mm high. If the opening exceeds these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from suitable non-combustible material to produce a correct size opening. Any surround must be suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage. See below in fig.1

When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient depth to accomodate any debris which may fall from the chimney. This depth must be sufficient to accomodate 12 litres of volumetric space.

1.7 FITTING TO FIREPLACES WITH EXISTING CHAIRBRICKS AND

CONVENTIONAL BRICKBUILT CHIMNEYS

This appliance is suitable for use in fireplaces fitted with an existing chairbrick without the need for removal of the chairbrick, providing the minimum depth of the fireplace exceeds 190mm. If the depth is less than 190mm then the spacer (optional) must be used to give a minimum clearance from the rear of the fire to the rear of the chairbrick of at least 90mm to allow sufficient space for the collection of debris which may fall down the chimney. The fireplace must be checked to ensure that no part of the chairbrick is within 50mm of the flue outlet of the fire when installed.

1.8 FITTING TO PRE-CAST FLUE INSTALLATIONS

To install the fire box in to pre-cast flue starter blocks, there must be at least 100mm from the mounting face of the fire to the rear of the pre-cast flue starter block to allow sufficient space for debris collection. It is important to

consider this depth if choosing a fire surround as the thickness of the fire surround must be sufficient to give a total depth of at least 100mm to the rear of the starter block, otherwise there will be insufficient depth. To increase this depth the fire surround may be packed away from the wall using suitable non-combustible board, providing the installation is correctly sealed. If in doubt about the suitability of the fire contact BFM Europe Ltd. for advice before proceeding. It is important to ensure that the pre-cast flue is in good condition and is free from extruded mortar or sealant from between the flue blocks.

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 FITTING TO PRE-FABRICATED TWIN WALL METAL FLUE BOXES

The appliance may be fitted to twin wall metal flue boxes 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 490mm 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.

Page 9

1.10 WALL / HEARTH MOUNTING

This appliance must be fitted on a flat, non-combustible base of minimum thickness 12mm. In addition, a non-combustible hearth or physical barrier should be provided in front of the fire.

With “hole in the wall” type installations, where it may be desirable not to fit a hearth panel or physical barrier, the product may be installed in accordance with Document J of the building regulations so that every part of theflame or incandescent material is at least 225mm above the floor level. For the customers safety, and in accordance with BS 5871-2, the fitting of a hearth panel or physical barrier should be carried out. Should this advice not be followed however, please give consideration to the safety of the occupants in the room to which the appliance is installed.

Any hearth panel or physical barrier that is fitted should project a mnimum of 300mm forwards from the fire opening and 150mm either side of the fire opening, as shown below in Fig. 3 Any physical barrier must be securely fixed and be of robust design.

1.11 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 a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire is operated. The following are important warnings relating to this spillage monitoring system :-

1) The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the installer.

2) The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of operation.

3) 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 this appliance, only a complete pilot assembly (including the thermocouple) may be fitted.

The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.

The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg. loose masonary in rear of fire opening), refer to section c) of item 2.3 and use heavy duty fixings (not supplied) to secure the firebox mounting plate to the wall.

To secure using the preferred cable method proceed as follows-

k) Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire

opening in the positions shown below in fig. 14

Fig. 14

Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the fire opening. If the clearance at the rear of the fire is at the minimum specified for a precast flue application, it may be necessary to bend over the lower fixing eyes after screwing them fully in to the rear of a pre-cast starter block.

l) Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the

cables through one of the two holes on each side of the flue outlet

shroud.

m) Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and

reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically

downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire.

Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular

hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire

box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.

n) Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the

tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the

tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut).

o) Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up

against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a flat

bladed screwdriver. See fig. 15 below

Fig. 15

p) Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the

fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to

pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to

be compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.

q) With the fire securely in place, if a concealed gas connection has been

made through either of the access holes in the sides of the fire, the

holes should be closed around the pipe to prevent leakage of air

through the gap around the pipe, refer to page 17.

r) Refit the burner. Fit the four retaining screws on manual control models

and two retaining screws on remote control models. Check that the

burner is correctly locked into position.

s) Secure the firebox into the mounting plate with the four off M5 screws.

t) Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas

supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious

damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.

3.6 CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS

a) Close all doors and windows in the room.

b) Light the fire and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high

position.

c) After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match just inside and

below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire. (It is

recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when check

ing for clearance of combustion products). All smoke generated should

be drawn back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in doubt,

repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes. If the test indicates that

spillage is occurring and the flue restrictor baffle has been fitted, it

should be removed and the test repeated after the fire has cooled.

d) If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a fault exists.

If, after investigation the fault cannot be traced and rectified, the fire

must be disconnected from the gas supply and expert advice obtained.

e) If there is an extractor fan fitted any where in the vicinity of the

appliance, the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running on

maximum and all interconnecting doors open.

f) After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high

position to fully warm up. During this time a slight odour may be

noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the fire and will soon disappear.

At this stage any minor adjustments to the coals should be made using

suitable long handled tongs and taking care not to damage the coals.

Finally, hand the Installation and Maintenance Instructions and the

Users Instructions over to the customer and explain the operation of the

fire.

ABOUT YOUR NEW VESTA

The Flavel Vesta coal & pebble effect gas fires incorporate a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation. The fire incorporates a flame control (coal models only) which allows you to adjust the flame appearance to give the desired combination of flames and glow. The left hand position gives maximum radiant heat and output whereas the right hand position gives more flame but slightly less glow. When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals, it is non-toxic and will soon disappear.

Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. Fireguards should conform to B.S. 8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use with gas heating appliances).

It is important that this appliance is serviced at least once a year by a CORGI registered gas installer and that during the service the fire is removed from the fire opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages which must be removed. The chimney should also be checked to ensure clearance of flue products. We recommend that during the annual service, replacement of the Oxypilot is carried out. This is a condition of the

manufacturers guarantee.

After installation or during servicing a spillage test must always be carried out.

Rubbish of any type must NEVER be thrown onto the fuel bed, this could affect safe operation and damage the fire. Any debris or deposits should be removed from the fuel bed from time to time. This may be carried out by referring to the cleaning section as described later in this book. Only the correct number and type of coals / pebbles must be used and only complete and genuine replacement sets must be used. Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never 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.

Page 41

The ceramic fuel bed remains hot for a considerable period after use and sufficient time should be allowed for the fire to cool before cleaning etc.

5.2.1 OPERATING THE FIRE (MANUAL CONTROL MODELS)

The controls are located behind the controls access door. The controls, comprise a control valve to adjust the gas flow and a push button piezo igniter. There is also a flame adjuster which slides from left to right (coal model only). The left hand position gives maximum radiant heat and output whereas the right hand position gives more flame but slightly less glow. To light the fire proceed as follows:-

1) Depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position

marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach the pilot.

2) Continue to hold-in the control knob and press the igniter button. If the pilot

does not light, continue to press the igniter button until ignition occurs. The pilot flame can be seen by looking at the left hand side front bottom corner of the glass panel. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.

In the unlikely event of a failure of the igniter, the fire can be lit as follows :Open the controls access door, depress the control knob and turn anti-clockwise to the position marked pilot. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds to allow the gas to reach the pilot. Insert the tip of a lit taper in behind the front ceramic rail on the left hand side. This will light the pilot flame. When the pilot has lit, continue to hold the control knob in for 5-10 seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up, if the pilot goes out when the control knob is released, repeat the lighting sequence.

3) After lighting, turn the control knob in the anti-clockwise direction to the high

position and the main burner will light. For most efficient performance the fire is allowed to warm up for a few minutes with the flame adjuster set to the left hand position and the gas control on maximum.

4) The gas control can be turned clockwise from the maximum position to give

the desired heat output and the flame control adjusted (coal model only) to give the most pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.

WARNING

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