INSTTALLATTION IINSTTRUCTTIONS

PPrreelliimmiinnaarryy NNootteess BBeeffoorree IInnssttaallllaattiioonn

This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and convected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic convertor burner technology.

The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturers original parts must be used.

The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the Installation Requirements.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only used in a sufficiently ventilated space. A minimum of 100cm

(15.5in2) purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. An openable window or louvre is also required. This appliance is factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data plate.

The room size should be a minimum of 40m

(1412ft3) to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door. In order to convert from cubic feet (ft

) to

cubic metres (m

) divide the room volume (in ft3) by 35.3. This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without some form of background heating present.

The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the flue products to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe.

The appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or rules in force. It is strongly recommended that a CORGI registered engineer is used for this purpose, as they are the only persons approved by the HSE under the above regulations.

On initial lightup of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from outlet grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this period.

Read all these instructions before commencing installation.

IMPORTANT NNOTES

INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS

This appliance may be installed with or without a hearth. If a hearth is fitted, the size and design may be as desired. If the appliance is to be sited near a disused natural draught flue it is recommended that the old flue should be partially sealed off to prevent draughts, however some ventilation will be required to prevent condensation. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. It is possible to install the appliance onto certain types of combustible materials - see section entitled ‘Clearances to combustible materials’. In the event that the fire is sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue, any existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts. The passageway into the flue should be partially sealed to prevent excessive draughts, however some ventilation will be required in the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness. Advice should be sought from your local building control officer.

ROOM SSIZING

The room size should be a minimum of 40m3(e.g. 13’4” x 13’4” x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door. To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m

) divide the room volume in cubic feet

(ft

) by 35.3.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS ((continued)

Clearanccess tto nnon-ccombusstibless

Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-made materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before proceeding with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4in). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm (20in).

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind the appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.

The appliance may be installed with or without a non combustible hearth. If a hearth is fitted, the size and design may be as desired.

A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than 400mm from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible.

Serenity mmodels oonly:

The appliance must not be installed closer than 600mm to the floor. This dimension is measured from the floor to the bottom of the casing. This clearance is necessary to allow clear access and viewing of the control knob.

Clearanccess tto ccombusstible mmaterialss

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame. Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should be considered as a combustible material or surface.

Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm(4in) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted within a distance of 500mm(20in) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appliance regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm measured from the top of the appliance glass panel.

Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre.

Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with their installation.

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wall paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or discolouration may occur over time.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not damaged.

The appliance may be positioned as close to a solid floor (i.e. stone, wooden laminate etc.) as the particular design of fireframe permits, however it is not permitted to install the appliance within 100mm of carpet, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance frame.

GAS SSUPPLY RROUTES

General ::

No more than 1.5m of 8mm diameter pipe must be used to avoid unnecessary pressure drops. If a concealed gas connection is to be made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors using the shortest possible route. For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient wall thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided. Prior to chasing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may already be buried. Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must not be used. The pipework installation must be tested for soundness before any protection is applied and/or the pipework and fittings are buried.

Reflection mmodels oonly ::

There are four possible entry points for the gas supply pipework to enter the appliance firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes. Non-concealed gas connections may be made using the entry points at either end of the firebox or the one in the bottom of the firebox. A concealed gas connection may be made using the knock out hole in the centre back of the firebox. Select the most appropriate entry point and knock out the relevant hole.

Serenity mmodels oonly ::

The space available for a sup-

ply pipe routing within the firebox is limited, there-

fore it may be preferred that the pipework emerge

from the wall in the hatched areas indicated as

shown. These areas are clear of the firebox, but con-

cealed by the lower casing of the appliance. They

are also clear of the space needed to remove the

burner. An in-line restrictor cock is provided as a

means of isolating the appliance. The pipework rout-

ing to the inlet of the valve may then be as desired.

Note : The burner is removed via the base of the

main firebox - i.e. downwards, and any supply piping

should allow easy removal of the burner unit.

Saturn mmodels oonly ::

There are three possible entry

points for the gas supply pipework to enter the appli-

ance firebox. These entry points are ‘knock out’ type

holes. Select the most appropriate entry point and

knock out the relevant hole. The positions of these

holes are shown relative to the positions of the lower

fixing points which appear on the fitting template.

PREPARING TTHE AAPPLIANCE

Reflection mmodels ;;

At this stage it is necessary to assemble the rear frame of the appliance. Unpack the four frame sections and lay face down on a soft surface taking care not to damage the painted finish. Using the eight no. 8 self tapping screws provided, fix the frame pieces together as shown below, making sure that the edges align neatly. The decorative front frame assembly is fitted after the main firebox has been fitted to the wall.

Serenity aand SSaturn mmodels;

The out casing / frame components are fitted after the main firebox has been fixed to the wall. The ceramic tiles are factory fitted.

FIXING TTHE AAPPLIANCE

After having selected the final mounting position of the appliance, taking into account the site requirements as specified in section 4 of these instructions, the integrity of the wall, and the feasibility of the proposed supply pipe routing, the firebox of appliance may be secured to the wall. A fitting template is supplied to assist with this.

The template serves a number of different models, and due to the dimensional differences between models the position of the upper fixing holes vary. The lower fixing positions, however remain the same and these should be used as a starting point, especially when calculating clearances to combustible materials, clearances from the floor or ceiling (as appropriate). After the lower fixing positions have been confirmed as satisfactory and marked, the upper fixing points may then be marked on the wall. It is recommended that a spirit level be used to ensure the installation is square and level.

7.1

FIXING TTHE AAPPLIANCE ((continued)

If the appliance is to be mounted on the inner leaf of a conventional cavity wall, or a solid wall, drill four holes using a 7mm masonry bit. Insert the fibre wallplugs provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then special cavity screw fixings will be required which are not supplied with this product. These should be constructed from metal and not plastic.

Serenity mmodels oonly ::

Due to the weight of the appliance four additional fixing points are pro-

vided for securing to the wall (if required).

If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas supply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall.

Insert the wall fixing screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to leave the screws protruding approximately 5mm from the wall. Now hang the appliance onto these screws through the two keyhole shaped holes in the back panel of the appliance.

Insert the lower fixing screws into the lower wall plugs through the corresponding depressed holes in the lower part of the back panel. Do not tighten fully yet.

Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made if necessary. When this has been checked, tighten the lower fixing screws fully.

Reflection aand SSerenity mmodels ::

To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the holes in the deflector plates above the catalyst as shown above.

CHECKING TTHE BBURNER

There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length. The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal.

TESTING AAND CCOMMISSIONING

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edition of BS6891.

OPERATING TTHE AAPPLIANCE ((continued)

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, turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

SPARK FFAILURE

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3 - 5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the piezo electric spark fails, the pilot cannot be lit manually.

SETTING PPRESSURE

To commission the appliance, the burner pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions. The pressure test point is located on the left hand side of the appliance, on the main burner pipe, next to the brass restrictor/connector. Release the setting pressure test point screw, and attach a U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting.

The burner pressure should be in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier. If the burner pressure is too low, then check the inlet pressure with the appliance running. If this is less than approximately 20mbar it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected. This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting, shut off elbow not fully open or solder flashing across a joint. Identify the cause of the restriction and rectify.

Switch the fire off, disconnect the U gauge and refit the test nipple screw. Light the fire and check for gas soundness. In the event that the burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guidance.

FINAL FFITTING OOF TTHE FFRAME AASSEMBLY

Reflection mmodels ::

The front section of the frame assembly should now be fitted. Remove the extruded frame assembly from the packaging. Position the frame onto the front of the fire, ensuring that the inside edges of the frame are pushed up to the stainless steel window frame fully. Insert four retaining screws in the positions on the side of the firebox as shown.

Serenity mmodels ::

The upper and lower case sections should now be re-fitted. Re-fitting is the reverse of removal. Refer to section 5.2 of these instructions.

CATALYSTS ((continued)

In order to calculate the combustion ratio for the appliance (CO/CO2) it is first necessary to express both gas concentrations in terms of percentage. To convert from parts per million (ppm) to a percentage (%) divide the ppm figure by 10,000. Examples : 35ppm = 0.0035%, 15ppm = 0.0015%, 5ppm = 0.0005%.

Now divide the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) expressed in percent by the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) to obtain the appliance combustion ratio.

The ccombustion rratio oof tthe ggasses eemitted bby tthe ccatalytic cconvertor sshould nnot eexceed 00.0015.

If replacing, firstly, remove the decorative fireframe as described in section 5.2. The catalysts are located on the top of the internal firebox and can be removed be unscrewing the retaining nuts securing the clamping plate. Remove the catalyst and its seal and discard. Refit a new catalyst and seals in reverse order, ensure the catalyst and door have a good seals.

TESTING FFOR FFIREBOX LLEAKAGE

Appliances that are several years old or have been extensively dismantled should be checked for soundness. It is important that all the products of combustion pass through the catalytic converter at the top of the firebox before leaving the appliance.

The firebox is heated by lighting for a few minutes to provide a flow through the firebox. The burner is then shut off and a smoke pellet or match introduced at the base of the fire underneath the burner tray. Large quantities of smoke will emerge from the top of the appliance, but none should emerge from the joints or gasket faces, especially around the door. It is important to note that the appliance can never be expected to be 100% smoke tight and small quantities of smoke may be seen in corners of joints and gasket faces etc without affecting safety when the fire is in operation.

COMBUSTION MMONITORING SSYSTEM

This fire is fitted with a combustion monitoring safety device (ODS). If the appliance 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 appliance can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section.

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 appliance and ventilation. Remedial work must be carried out as required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the appliance and installation is passed as safe. If the pilot continues to be extinguished, you must call your installer to check the operation of the complete appliance.
