INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The 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 builder's opening or fireplace conforming to BS
1251 (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 12 mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.
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.
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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs
and correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals. 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 joint. Repair and re-test as necessary before the appliance is installed.
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 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. 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.
This appliance is suitable for use with a "lightweight" surround and back panel of 150C minimum rating
when installed with a 20 mm spacer frame available from Focal Point Fires plc. Part Number FB004210/0.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor.
A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire providing that is complies with the dimensions given below.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe.
Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the fire-
place opening; providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).
Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.
As with all heating appliances any decorations/soft furnishings and all coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl
and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.
DEBRIS COLLECTION SPACE
The mounting depth of this appliance is 125mm.
In accordance with BS 5871 part 2 minimum debris collection volumes are required behind the
installed appliance. These are shown in the table below and as dimension X on the fireplace diagram
shown previously.

VENTILATION
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. Ventilation fitted under or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be
used as it may adversely affect performance of the ODS system.
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.

PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given in the diagram below 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.
The fire box base and hearth must have a non combustible surface of at least 12 mm thick. The top surface of which must be 50 mm above the surrounding floor or be surrounded by a raised edge or fender
50 mm high.
The top 200 mm of the fire box must be securely insulated with a minimum of 30 mm thick rockwool
or similar. A minimum air gap must be maintained between any part of the fire box or flue and any
combustable materials.
To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit some minor adaptation 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.

INSTALLATION OF APPLIANCE
Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.
The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications laid down in the
appropriate sections of these instructions.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE
Remove the appliance from its carton as described previously and stand on a dust sheet or similar.
Place the coals, ceramics and fixing safely to one side.
Remove the burner from the assembly by removing the two screws in the data/control plate. Lift away
the plate, and remove the two screws retaining the tray legs. The tray is now free and may be lifted
away.
Knock out holes are provided in the rear of the convector box for use where concealed pipework is
required. Knock out the appropriate holes 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 supply pipe and sleeving.
Note: DO NOT install or use the appliance without this seal in place.
If the hole is inadvertently opened reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit this seal correctly will
cause the flue suction to act upon the area under the burner resulting in poor performance.
PREPARING THE OPENING
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

PREPARING THE OPENING (continued)
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.
Apply the self adhesive strip around the rear edge of the firebox at approximately 5mm in from the
edge.
Cable fixing: For fixing the fire by the cable method, see relevant section.
Fixing by screw: Mark and drill the fireframe or base and relevant points in the opening or on the wall.
Use the convector box as a template to position the holes. Rawlplugs will be required.
NOTE: Plastic rawlplugs are not suitable for this application.
Gas supply: Following preparation for the fixing method the concealed gas supply (if required) can now
be put into place. Refer to the relevant section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in
which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The end of the 8mm pipe should be temporarily sealed to
prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SUPPLY
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire the gas supply can be routed as shown in the following diagrams.
An isolator cock or restrictor elbow must be fitted to the incoming supply to facilitate servicing.
If using a concealed supply it should be laid in accordance with the diagram below. Select the supply
route most relevant to the entry point of the gas supply into the fireplace opening.
If using an across the hearth connection then the firefront is notched and the supply pipe can be routed
through this. The open end of the gas supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent ingress dust
and dirt during installation.
CABLE FIXING
Drill four holes as shown in the diagram and fit the fibre rawlplugs. If the fireplace does not allow for
the exact layout shown the eyebolts should be fixed to give a
similar configuration as possible.
Thread both tensioning cables through the holes at the top of
the firebox, both eyelets and back through the lower holes in
the firebox as shown in the photograph. Before finally fitting
the firebox apply the self-adhesive sealing strips around the rear
of the firebox frame. Holes at the top and bottom of the firebox for cable fixing required.
Push the appliance back into the fireplace, centralise and pull
the loose cables through the holes into the firebox.

CABLE FIXING (continued)
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 a suitable spanner to pull the appliance back
into position to allow an even seal around the fireplace opening.
Visually inspect the seal and repeat if
necessary.
Surplus tension cable MUST NOT be cut
off as this will prevent proper installation
after servicing. Coil up the surplus cable
and tuck the coils out of the way as suggested in the photograph.
FITTING THE BURNER TRAY
Important Note: Check that the thermocouple nut connection into the rear of the valve is secure.
Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved. Place the burner tray
into the convector box making sure that the rear lugs locate properly on the ledge in the firebox.
Fit the two securing screws through the tray legs to secure the assembly.
Connect the gas supply and tighted the gas connections.
Fit the data/control plate to the tray using the two screws provided.
Ensure that the control knob can be pushed fully in and does not
touch the plate.
Fit the deflector baffle to the two locations on the front face of the
firetray. Screws are provided for this purpose. The baffle should be
level with the lower edge of the tray. Place the front fret in front of
the fire temporarily to check the angle of the baffle. The fret should fit well and the control devices
beneath should not be visible to the eye. Realign the baffle if necessary to achieve the correct fit.
IMPORTANT NOTE. If the Elysee fret is fitted to the appliance the deflector baffle should NOT be fitted.
FUEL BED LAYOUT
Place the brick panel against the rear of the firebox.

FUEL BED LAYOUT (continued)
Place the ceramic combustion matrix onto the burner and the ceramic side cheeks onto the matrix.
Place the front row of 5 moulded coals onto the
matrix, equally spaced across the width of the fire.
they may be at any rotational orientation desired.
Ensure their rear edges do not overhang the flame
ports. Corners or rough edges MUST NOT be
allowed to enter the flame ports.
Place the centre row of four coals, making sure that
they do not fall down into the flame port but bridge
across the spaces as shown. Rotational orientation
maybe as desired.
Place the top row of five coals onto the flats in the
matrix. Ensure the coals are not put into holes in
the matrix. Bridge the gaps between the rear of the
matrix and the centre row of coals. Rotational orientation may be desired.
Note: The coals must not be crammed together, or
inserted into the holes in the matrix. A well laid out,
generously spaced coal layout will give the best
results.
The edges or corners of the front row of coals MUST NOT be allowed to enter the flame slots in the
matrix. If in doubt, pull them forward as far as possible.
Fit the glass door assembly by locating
the two lugs at its base in the fire surround, rotate the door upwards and
secure in position with the two hand
screws provided.
Pay special attention to finally adjust the
coals with the fire lit on the HIGH setting
in order to ensure that no flames play
onto the firebox sides or the glass door.
9
9.0
FUEL BED LAYOUT (continued)
This will reduce the possibility of heat discoloration. If the coals need adjustment to give a good flame
picture allow the fire to cool, remove the glass door, rearrange to coals slightly, refit the door and
check again. It takes approximately 15 minutes for the full effect to be achieved. The fire is designed to
operate correctly with the coals supplied when assembled according to the instructions. Never add to
the fourteen coals, or change them for a different type. Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the
fire.
FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME AND HOOD
The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame and
convector hood. A plastic protective coating may have been
applied to the face of the frame assembly, which should be
removed at this stage.
The frame attaches to the firebox as a three piece clip-on
assembly. The side pieces of the clip on assembly should be
pushed into position first, followed by the top bar, which
should overlap the sides.
Place the firefront casting infront of the fire with the Ashpan door.
Fit the convector hood to the firebox by engaging the mount-
ing hooks into the relevant slots on the firebox. The hood
should be pressed in and downwards to secure into position.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks in accordance with current Approved Codes
of Practice (ACOPs).
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The pilot is visible under the left hand side of the matrix. Rotate the coals for
good viewing. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and
hold there for a few seconds.
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click to the PILOT light
position ensuring the pilot has lit. If not return the knob clockwise and
repeat.
When the pilot lights after the spark keep the knob depressed 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 tuning 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 FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark.
There should be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails the pilot may
be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously described and after turning the
control knob through the spark position the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.

SETTING PRESSURE
Remove the screw from the pressure test point, which is situated on the main injector pipe and attach a
U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting.
The setting pressure should be in accordance with the figures stated on page 2 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 setting pressure is too low then check
the meter governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is correct 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 or solder flashing across a joint.
When the setting pressure is satisfactory, the gas side of the installation is complete.
Switch OFF the fire and refit the test point screw. Light the fire and check the test point for gas sound-
ness.
FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
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. The gas
pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any
problem). The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked
loose during installation, simply get the installer to 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.
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE
Close all doors and windows to the room containing the
appliance. Let the fire fun on HIGH for five minutes.
Take a smoke match, light it, and using a smoke match
tube, hold it at the top edge of the fire opening, 15mm
down and 5mm in. Starting 50mm in from either side,
run the smoke match across the opening.
11
11.3
12.0
12.1
TESTING FOR SPILLAGE (continued)
All the smoke should be drawn away up the flue. Any smoke returning into the room indicates that
spillage is occurring. 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.
FITTING THE FIREFRONT
Place the decorative firefront in front of the applaince and slide the ashpan door into place. The firefront shown within these instructions may be different to the one supplied with the applaince.
BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER
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 maybe 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 (ODS).
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.
Recommend that a guard be used for the protection of the young, the elderly and the infirm

Remove the fire front casting and place to one side. Remove the convector hood. Remove the glass
door assembly. Remove the ceramic components. Gently clean in the open air. Be careful not to
create dust from the coals. Where necessary replace damaged components with genuine spares. Seal
scrap ceramic components in plastic bags and dispose at proper refuse sites as directed.
Re-fit the coals by referring to the relevant section of these instructions. Refit the glass door assembly
ensuring a good seal. Refit the convector hood.
DISMANTLING THE BURNER TRAY
Remove the tray as previously described. The plot unit can be removed by undoing the tubing nut, the
thermocouple nut on the rear of the valve, the two securing screws and lifting away. Remove the tubing
nut from the valve end of the pilot pipe and blow through to dislodged any debris. Clean the exterior of
the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through the flame ports on the pilot head. Check the
aeration holes are free from lint or dirt. The pilot assembly is a non-serviceable item and should not be
taken apart. The aeration hole must be absolutely clear internally for proper operation.
Remove the two tubing nuts on the ends of the gas pipe to the injector elbow. Release the screw
through the supporting leg and lift assembly clear. The injector pipe can now be checked for debris.
Remove the nut retaining the injector elbow. Blow through the elbow to remove any debris.
The valve is not field serviceable, apart from the pilot filter. Remove the control knob by pulling it forwards, then remove the largest of the three screws on the face of the valve. Slide the filter out and clean
away any debris that may have accumulated. The filter element should also be blown clean. This component should not require replacement, however if signs of deterioration are evident then a genuine
spare must be used. If a large amount of debris is present in the filter then the pipework and control
should be thoroughly cleaned before re-assembly.
REMOVING THE CONVECTOR BOX
Remove the burner tray as described previously. Protect the hearth from potential damage.
Either unroll the coiled tensioner cables from the rear of the firebox, remove the securing nipples and
tensioner adjusters, or unscrew the screws retaining the box to its mounting surface.

The fire box is now released from the opening and can be slid outward onto the hearth. Inspect the
fireplace opening for debris and if excessive rectify the flue before proceeding further. Check the seal
around the fireframe and if necessary replace. Refit the convector box as described in the fitting section
of these instructions.
PILOT ASSEMBLY
Remove the burner tray as in relevant section and pilot unit as described.
Clean the pilot assembly with a soft brush and blow through. Check the aeration holes are free of any
dirt or lint. Clean thoroughly internally, the connection can be removed from the base of the pilot unit
using two spanners to make cleaning easier. Do not damage or try to remove the pilot injector.
The unit is factory set and the only check necessary is to ensure the spark gap is correct.
See specifications for gas setting.

FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
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, ventilation and carry out any remedial work required.
DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the flue system is passed as safe.
CLEANING
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. To gain access to the firebed, remove the convection hood and
glass door assembly. The hood should be lifted by approximately 10mm to disengage and remove the
door by removing the 2 top screws, rotating away from the fire, disengaging the 2 lugs at the bottom
and lifting away. the glass can be cleaned with a variety of glass or ceramic hob cleaners. Test on a
small area first.
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.
COALS AND CERAMICS
See the relevant section in the Installation Guide of these instructions.
SERVICING
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 competent person, such as a CORGI registered installer.
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.
