The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977-1:2002 and the result is 81%. The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by GL Industrial Services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be present. The fire has been designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 or BS EN 1858 (and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box. A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary before the appliance is installed. The flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue. Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position. The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow. This appliance has been tested for use in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289 or BS EN 1858. In accordance with BS 1289 part 1, 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 the 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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals. This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm.

This appliance MUST be installed into a non combustible back panel capable of withstanding 150

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in situ, providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See figure 1. The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 400mm and 440mm wide, and 550mm to 575mm high. Opening DEPTH should be 145mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused or previously only used with a gas fire. DEPTH should be 185mm or greater for a flue which has previously been used for a solid fuel or oil burning appliance. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation. Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off. WARNING This fire is designed to get very hot! The fireplace opening wall or back panel must be non-combustible and rated to withstand 150

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation. If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance, then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does not spill with the windows open, but spillage is detected with the windows closed, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation. If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity (1 metre) of the appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS may occur. Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance that cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation. For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force. This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given in figure 2 are complied with.

Constructional Note: The frame of the fire, any back panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed together so that there is no possibility of leakage between them. Adequate clearances to combustible materials (e.g. false chimney breast construction) must be maintained.

The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabricated box shall be complied with at all times. To fit the fire

using the cable fixing kit, some minor adaption may be necessary for certain flue boxes. A check should be made to ensure the firebox does not obscure the flue box outlet. The firebox, base of the flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws to secure installation. It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue box is well sealed to any back or infill panel. Note: The DEPTH dimension is inclusive of any back or infill panel. Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap.

Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack or install this appliance.Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any other bags or boxes containing fittings or other parts. When all loose parts have been removed, the outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appliance. Check that the components supplied correlate with the component checklist given in section 7.1. Please dispose of all the packaging materials at your local recycling centre.

The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the appliance from it’s carton as described previously and stand upon a dust sheet or similar. Place the decorative frame, coals, ceramics and fixings safely to one side. Remove the glass panel assembly by removing the retaining screws. Remove the burner from the assembly by removing the retaining screws (slide control models only - disconnect the slide mechanism by removing one M4 nut from the assembly). The tray is now free, and may be lifted away. Spigot restrictor : The appliance is supplied with an optional spigot restrictor. The spigot restrictor may be fitted when the fire is to be installed in a good class 1 flue, a conventional brick chimney, or a 175mm (7”) circular flue. The spigot restrictor is not recommended for pre-cast and 125mm (5”) circular flues as it may cause spillage. If required, fit the spigot restrictor using three No8 x 5/16 Self tapping screws (supplied loose) as shown in figure 3. If spillage is detected during the commissioning of the appliance, the spigot restrictor should be removed immediately. Slide controls models : The control knob is supplied as a loose part. Insert the control knob into the hole in the top of the slide control spindle (Figure 4). Secure the control knob in position using the M4 nyloc nut provided. Affix the Slide control position marking sticker on the trim next to the control knob as shown if figure 16.

Supply pipe entry : Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use where concealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleeving. Do not install or use the appliance without the seal in place. If a hole is inadvertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit the seal correctly will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, resulting in poor performance and intermittent cutting out of the burner. Some possible pipe routes are shown in figure 6.

The appliance is supplied with a high temperature rope sealing strip factory fitted to the firebox. Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal. If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed. Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the convector box in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging is an ideal hearth saver pad. Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the convector box to the fireplace to check the fit is good. Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base is firm in the floor of the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not obstructed in any way. Remove the convector box and take any necessary measurements before making good and preparing for final installation. Cable fixing : Drill four holes as shown in figure 5 and fit the wall plugs. If the fireplace does not allow for the exact layout shown, the eyebolts should be fixed to give a similar configuration as possible. To complete the cable fixing of the convector box, refer to section 8.3. Fixing by screw : Mark and drill the fireframe or base, and relevant points in the opening or on the wall. Additional screws will be required for this method of fixing.

When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed. Some possible supply pipe routes are shown in figure 6. Select the supply route most relevant to the entry point of the gas supply into the fireplace opening. The gas pipe must be suitably protected where it passes through fireplace openings. Any sleeving should be sealed to the pipe at its ends.

The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress of dust and dirt during installation.

Thread both tensioning cables through the holes at the top of the firebox, both eyelets, and back through the lower holes in the firebox in the positions indicated in figure 7. Push the appliance back into the fireplace, centralise and pull the loose cables through the holes into the firebox.

Thread the cable tensioners onto the cables as shown, with the nuts screwed down close to the tensioner head. Slide the screwed nipple onto the cable, pull cable taut and tighten nipple. Adjust tensioner using suitable spanners to pull the appliance back into position, to allow an even seal around the fireplace opening. See figure 8. Visually inspect the seal and reseat if necessary.

Surplus tension cable MUST NOT be cut off as this will prevent proper installation after servicing. Coil up the surplus cable as shown in figure 9.

Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved. Place the burner tray into the firebox making sure that the rear lugs locate properly on to the ledge in the firebox. Manual control models : Fit the two securing screws through the tray legs to secure the assembly.

Slide control models : Fit the four securing screws - two through the tray rear first and then two through the legs of the tray to secure the assem-

bly - see figure 10. Reconnect the slide mechanism by replacing the M4 nut and serrated washer on the assembly. All models : Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections. Fit the deflector baffle to the two locations on the front face of the firetray as shown in figure 11. Screws are provided for this purpose. The baffle should be level with the lower edge of the tray. Place contemporary firefront in front of the fire temporarily to check the angle of the baffle. The front should fit well and the control devices beneath should not be visible to the eye. Realign the baffle slightly if necessary to achieve the correct fit. Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris BEFORE connection. Now disconnect the inlet restrictor elbow from the inlet pipe. Connect the previously installed gas supply to inlet restrictor elbow, and refit the restrictor elbow to the inlet pipe of the appliance.

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of BS6891. When the appliance is first used, protective oils coating the firebox may burn off. It is advisable to ventilate the room during this period for at least one hour.

The spark gap between the spark electrode and the thermocouple should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this.

For fuel bed layout instructions, refer to section 10.0 of the user instructions.

The appliance is supplied either with a one piece or three piece decorative frame.

For one piece frames (fingerslide models only) : The appliance is supplied with a one piece decorative frame that is attached to the front of the firebox with the magnets provided.

Place the decorative firefront in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. The firefront shown in these instructions may be different to the one supplied with the appliance.

For three piece frames : The side pieces of the clip on assembly should be pushed into position first, followed by the top bar (shown in figure 15), which should overlap the sides.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care should be taken when handling the three piece frame components. The use of protective gloves is recommended. Place the firefront into position in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. Do not use any other firefront other than the one supplied with this appliance. The firefront shown in these instructions may differ from the one supplied with the appliance.

The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side of the fuel bed. The fire features a ‘twin spark’ ignition system to aid lighting, Push the control knob in fully and turn anti-clockwise through both of the SPARK positions, keeping fully depressed, hold there for a few seconds. If the fire has not been used for some time, hold the knob in this position for longer, to allow any air in the pipes to be purged. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark clicks to the nine o’clock position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat. When the pilot lights after one of the two sparks, keep the knob depressed in the nine o’clock position for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure. To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burner should light after a few seconds. To decrease the setting to LOW, push the knob in slightly and turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the pilot only position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the nine o’clock position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side of the fuel bed. Push the slide control knob fully downwards to the SPARK position, and hold there for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. When the pilot light has established, move the slide control knob upwards to the LOW flame setting. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.To achieve the HIGH setting, move the slide control knob upwards to the HIGH flame setting. The fire can also be set to operate anywhere between HIGH and LOW by moving the control knob to an intermediate position. To turn the fire OFF, move the slide control knob upwards fully to the position marked ‘O’.

Remove the screw from the pressure test point. Release the pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting. To commission the appliance, the operating pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve the correct flow rates at the specified operating pressure. Any significant variation in the operating pressure could indicate a supply problem. If the operating pressure is too high, the gas supply meter/governor may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier. If the operating pressure is too low, then check the meter/governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instructions it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the inlet pressure is too low, but the meter/governor pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. Upon satisfactory checking of the inlet pressure, turn the fire off, disconnect the pressure gauge and refit the test point screw. Light the fire and check for gas soundness. In the event that the inlet pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the problem investigated and rectified.

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. Re-check the gas pressure to ensure it is adequate (see section 2.0). The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, in this case re-tighten.

If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a spillage test.

The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS.The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the Troubleshooting section as a guide.

Close all doors and windows to the room containing the appliance. Let the fire run on HIGH for five minutes. Take a smoke match and put in the smoke match tube provided. Light the smoke match and position the end of the smoke match tube centrally next to the draught diverter as shown in figures 19 and 20.

All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue.

Any smoke returning into the room indicates that spillage is occurring.

If the spillage test fails and the spigot restrictor is fitted, remove the spigot restrictor, re-fit and re-test. If the initial spillage test fails, run the fire for a further 10 minutes and repeat the test. When the test has been completed satisfactorily, repeat with any extractor fans in the premises running on the highest setting, and any communicating doors open. Finally, repeat with all doors open.

DO NOT allow the fire to be used until the test is satisfactorily passed.

All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire. After commissioning the appliance, the customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually. Advise that cleaning of the fire may be achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on most surfaces. Scratched and other superficial damage to the matt black paintwork of the appliance can be covered with matching heatproof spray. Use only the manufacturers’ recommended spray paint. Paint only when the fire is OFF and cold. Always mask off the surrounding area to prevent contamination with overspray. Ventilate the room during the use of the spray. DO NOT attempt to spray paint the coals or ceramics, or wash them in water. Advise that the fire will emit a “newness” smell for a time after initial commissioning and that extra ventilation may be needed during this time. Advise that the fire is fitted with a spillage safety device (O.D.S.). If the fire shuts down, this system may be in operation. If spillage is suspected, SWITCH APPLIANCE OFF and call in the installer to investigate any problems.

Isolate the fire from the gas supply. Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service. A suggested procedure for servicing is detailed below.

The fireguards specified in BS 8423 are intended to protect people from falling into a fire, prevent burns and reduce the risk of injury, particularly to young children and the infirm. In addition it is intended to reduce the risk of fire resulting from clothing and/or other flammable materials coming into contact with, or in proximity to, burning fuel and/or hot surfaces.

Fireguards can be permanently fixed in position or can be moveable, and can incorporate open fires including combination grates, or closed fires, including room heaters and stoves. See figures 1 & 2 for fireguard examples.

The fireguards specified are not intended to reduce the risk of fires caused by flying particles, which are covered by BS 3248.

The fire and flue should be checked on an annual basis to ensure all of the product of combustion are entering the flue and that there is no excessive build up of soot. The frequency of service will depend on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually. Servicing must be carried out by a GAS SAFE registered person. Cleaning of the coals may be carried out by following the instructions given in the Installation section. The Installation instructions carry full servicing details for the use of the installer. If debris from the flue or other foreign matter is found on the fire it may indicate a need for servicing. Do not use the fire until the source of the debris has been found and rectified. Air vents (where fitted) should be checked periodically to ensure they are free from obstruction.

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the same space or room, and the results of a spillage test must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation requirements, this will have been carried out by your registered installer. For Republic of Ireland, ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force

The pilot is visible through the viewing hole which is located at the lower left hand side of the fuel bed.

Push the slide control knob fully downwards to the SPARK position, and hold there for approximately ten

seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. When the pilot light has established, move

the slide control knob upwards to the LOW flame setting. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three

minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.To achieve the HIGH setting, move the slide control knob

upwards to the HIGH flame setting. The fire can also be set to operate anywhere between HIGH and LOW

by moving the control knob to an intermediate position.

To turn the fire OFF, move the slide control knob upwards fully to the position marked ‘O’.

This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The fire can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. A grommet seal may also be missing from the firebox causing abnormal draught to shut down the pilot. Call your installer to check seals are properly fitted. If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check the flue and ventilation and carry out any remedial work required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the flue system is passed as safe.

Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure that the fire is OFF and completely cold. Debris that may form on the firebed should be periodically removed by a competent person. Large deposits could indicate deterioration of the flue. This should be repaired by a competent person, and the fire serviced before further use. FIREFRONT - Any dust accumulating in the firefront may be removed using a vacuum cleaner or dry cloth. Heavy stains may be removed by using a damp cloth and mild household detergent. Brass parts of the firefront may be cleaned using a suitable brass cleaner. Replace the front centrally against the fire after cleaning. PAINTED AREAS - These can be cleaned using a dry cloth.
