INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

Pre-Installation Notes

1. Check the stove data plate to establish the gas type required. The data plate

can be found on a chain at the top left rear corner of the stove.
Before installation check that the local distribution conditions, nature of the
gas and pressure, and adjustment of the application are compatible.

2. A GAS SAFE REGISTERED INSTALLER or equally recognised competent

person must fit the appliance. That person is legally responsible for the safe
installation of the appliance with due regard to all relevant local and national
building regulations.

3. All outer surfaces of the stove excepting the gas control knobs are defined as

working surfaces.

4. Installation site

Any installation area previously used for a solid fuel fire or stove would
probably be deemed suitable for the appliance.

5. The stove must not be installed onto a combustible wall. Any combustible

materials must be removed from behind the appliance.

6. The appliance must be sited on a non-combustible hearth of minimum 12mm
thickness.

Diagram 1

5

7. The hearth should be edged or raised to prevent combustible floor finishes

(e.g. Carpet) from being laid too close to the appliance.

8. Opening clearances

For the relevant clearance distances when installing the appliance in an

opening see diagram 2 below:

IMPORTANT NOTE! Adequate clearance must be given between the appliance and
the walls so that a satisfactory spillage test can be performed as detailed on page 16.

Flue Arrangement

The GAS SAFE REGISTERED ENGINEER commissioned to install this
appliance is wholly responsible for deciding the suitability of any flue
arrangement to operate in conjunction with this gas appliance.

The chimney or flue system that is to be fitted to the Selene gas stove must comply
with the current rules in force.
(The Selene range of stoves is also suitable for other specific class 2 installation
arrangements: pre-cast flues, ridge-vent flues and pre-cast chimney block and with
the relevant adaption, the appliance will operate in a closure plate type system.)

It is suggested to run flue pipe at least 615mm vertically from the unit before there are
any changes in direction of the flue system. Wherever possible horizontal runs of the
flue system should be avoided.

The flue must have a minimum of 2.6 meters of vertical height measured from the
top of the stove to the bottom of the terminal outlet. Please note for rear flue
appliances it is recommended that the vertical flue run be established as soon as is
practical from the rear flue exit. (Caution should be taken locating the exit of the flue
as explained in ‘The Building Regulations - Document J’.)

Before commencing any installation work the installing engineer must check that the
flue is free from all blockages, the chimney should be given a precautionary clean, and
finally the chimney should be smoke tested to ensure soundness. Additionally any
flue dampers must be permanently fixed open or removed altogether.

Additional Air Venting (GB Only)

The supply gas heat input into the appliance is nominally less that 7kw, therefore
under the directives of the current gas safety and use regulations (1995) no additional
air vents are required in the room the appliance is situated.

Removing the Stove Body

Open the two cast iron doors and gently lift them from their hinges as shown in
Diagram 3.

Completely remove the 2 securing bolts that are located behind the valve cover plate
by using a 10mm spanner, as shown in Diagram 4.

Slacken the rear locating bolts with a 13mm spanner and remove the stove shell by
sliding away from the combustion chamber. (Diagram 5).

Diagram 4

Diagram 5

Removing the Glass

The glass is held in place by 6 fixing clips, 4
at the top and 2 at the bottom. Slightly
slacken the lower two fixing screws with a
flat blade screwdriver (There is no need to
fully remove the screws). Holding the glass
with one hand, slacken off the top 2 fixing
screws (Diagram 6) until the clips have
moved away from the glass panel. The glass
panel can then be lifted out.

Gas Supply Connections

The appliance is supplied with an 8mm Bundy pipe and an 8mm compression elbow
to allow easy connection to the mains gas supply. This supply gas pipe should
incorporate a gas service isolation tap that is situated within 1 metre of the
application.

Diagram 7 shows the 8mm Bundy
pipe being fitted to the gas inlet on
the valve. The compression joint is
tightened with a 12mm open-ended
spanner.

Testing Supply Pressure

1. Gas pressure at the appliance is measured via the rearward test nipple (Test nipple

‘A’ in diagram 8) on the left-hand side of the control valve. (Turning the screw
approximately half a turn anti-clockwise with a small flat-bladed screwdriver
opens the test point.)

ALWAYS CLOSE TEST POINTS AFTER USE!

2. The gas pressure at the appliance is measured with the appliance running at full

rate. (For information on how to achieve ‘full rate’ read, ‘Adjusting between High and

Low Output Settings’ in the ‘Lighting the Appliance’ section of the User Instructions.

Burner gas pressure should be:

Natural Gas @ 19mBars
LPG @ 36mBars

3. The mains supply pressure coming into the appliance can be checked by using
Test point ‘B’, shown in diagram 8.

FIRE-BED ARRANGEMENT

This appliance can be fitted with either ‘coal effect’ or ‘log effect’ ceramics.

If you are fitting ‘Coal Effect’ ceramics please follow the instructions set out in
‘Section A – Fitting the Coal Effect Ceramic Matrices’ (Page 10).

If you are fitting ‘Log Effect’ ceramics please skip ‘Section A’ and follow the instructions
set out in ‘Section B – Fitting the Log Effect Ceramic Matrices’ (Page 13).

Section A - Fitting the ‘Coal Effect’ Ceramic Matrices

NATURAL GAS: The fire-bed is constructed of 3 ceramic matrices, 4 small coals, 10

medium coals and 4 large ‘diamond shaped’ coals.

LPG: The fire-bed is constructed of 3 ceramic matrices, 10 small coals, 4 medium

coals and 4 large ‘diamond shaped’ coals.

1. Place the rear ceramic matrix into the
fire. The ceramic should sit on the burner
tray top and be placed so that it touches
the back of the firebox (As shown in
diagram A9).

2. Place the middle ceramic matrix into the fire so
that the flat surface sits on the burner tray. Push
the middle ceramic back until it rests against the
rear ceramic shown in diagram A10.

Note!

Make sure that the middle ceramic does not block
any of the burner tray slots.

3. Place the front ceramic matrix into the
fire so that it sits between the middle
ceramic matrix and the 2 front tray supports
(Steel brackets at the front of the tray)
shown in diagram A11.

Fitting the Loose Ceramic Coals

4. The first row of coals consists of 4

small coals and 4 large coals. The first
row of coals are placed so that they sit
on top of the front and middle ceramic
matrices.

Starting with a large ‘diamond shaped’

coal, place the front of the coal on top
of the left hand support leg of the
front ceramic. The back of the coal
should rest on the middle ceramic.
Then take a small coal and place the
front of it in the first left notch in the
front ceramic, the back of the coal
resting on the centre ceramic.
Continue this process, alternating the
coal size until all the 8 coals are placed
as shown in Diagram A12.

Note!

Make sure that the coals do not fall down between the front and middle matrices.
A gap must be left between the coals to allow the flames to pass through.

5. The second row of coals consists of
4 medium sized coals. They are placed
between the large coals so that they sit
on the middle ceramic, shown in
Diagram A13.

Note!

The coals must not block the gap
between the middle and rear
ceramic matrices.

Diagram A11

6. The third row of coals

consists of 6 medium sized coals
(6 small coals for LPG stoves).
The coals are placed so that they
sit on top of the last row of coals
and into the notches on the rear
ceramic matrix, shown in
Diagram A14.

Note!

Gaps must be left between the
coals for the flames to pass
through.

7. The fire-bed should now be completed. The stove should be lit and the flame

picture checked with the glass panel fixed securely in place. Any adjustments to the
flame picture can then be made as required.

Fitting the Loose Ceramic Logs

D. Starting with the Y-shaped

log, place at the angle shown in
diagram B12. The bottom of the
log should sit in the cut-out on
the front ceramic matrix, with
the flat underside of it resting
on the flat area on the middle
matrix. Of the longer 2
branches, the tip of the right
hand branch should rest in the
left hand cut-out on the rear
ceramic.

E. The second log has two short
branches coming from it. It sits in the
furthest left cut-out on the front ceramic
and rests in the groove on the centre
ceramic, shown in diagram B13.

F. The third log to be placed is the

thin ‘twig’. The ‘Twig’ is placed in

the cut-out between the first two
logs. The small branch on the twig
should sit at an angle into the cut­out on the front ceramic and so
stopping the twig from falling
between the front and centre
ceramic. The top of the twig
should rest on the large log as
shown in diagram B14. (Make sure

that the position of the ‘Twig’ does

not block any of the burner ports)

Diagram B13

Diagram B12

G. The fourth log is the shorter of
the two straight logs. The log
should rest on the middle ceramic
on the flat section to the right of
the large log. The top of the log
should rest in the groove on the
rear ceramic, as shown in diagram
B15.

H. The fifth log is the longer of
the two straight logs, the top
of this should sit in the final
groove on the rear ceramic in
between the large log and the
shorter straight log. The log
should also rest on the join
between the other 2 placed
logs as shown in diagram B16.

I. The sixth and final log
has a single branch coming
from it and one end is
shaped to be parallel with
the mirrored side. It should
sit on the flat surface on the
centre ceramic as shown in
diagram B17.

J. The fire-bed should now be completed. The stove should be lit and the flame
picture checked with the glass panel fixed securely in place. Any adjustments to the
flame picture can then be made as required.

Re-Assembling the Stove

When the desired flame picture has been achieved, the stove body should be
reassembled.

The stove body can be slid back into place, making sure that the slots on the rear of
the body locate into the 2 securing bolts at the back of the base, shown in diagram 5
(Page 7). There is no need to tighten these bolts up as they are only used for location.

The two front fixing bolts can then be replaced and tightened to fix the body in place
(Shown in Diagram 4 – Page 7).

TEST FOR SPILLAGE

A Spillage test MUST be carried out before the appliance is left with the customer.

Carry out the test by first closing all doors and windows in the room containing the fire.

Ensure that the fire is burning at full rate for a minimum of 5 minutes.

Using a smoke match – run along the edge of the draught diverter, both sides of the TTB
Bracket as shown in diagram 17.

Most of the smoke should be drawn into the draught

diverter. If not, leave the stove running at full rate for
a further 10 minutes and repeat the test.

If there is a fan in an adjoining room the spillage test
must be repeated with the fan running and all
connecting doors between the fire and fan open.

If there are still problems the chimney/flue or
ventilation may require attention. The stove should
not be used until the fault is rectified.

SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with an ‘oxygen depletion system’ (ODS) pilot assembly

which will monitor any spillage from the appliance.
The system MUST NOT be adjusted or changed by the installer.
Replacement systems must be obtained from HS Gas; no other pilot assembly must be
substituted in its place.

The appliance is also fitted with a thermostatic switch (TTB). This switch is located in
the draught diverter and shuts off the gas supply should the flue lack sufficient flow to
prevent flue gas spillage. The TTB MUST NOT be removed or ‘bridged out’ for any
reason and only genuine HS Gas replacements should be used. Nuisance shut down
may occur if the stove is not installed in accordance with the clearance distances set
out in page 5.

Operating the Appliance

FULL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN IN THE USER INSTRUCTIONS.

Fitting the Remote Control (Optional)

Fitting the Motor to the Valve

Un-screw the cover retaining screw with a
small Philips screwdriver (Shown in
diagram 19). Prise off the cover at the snap
connection with a small flat-bladed
screwdriver located on the right hand side
of the valve.

Turn the main burner control knob
(Knob ‘B’ – diagram 20) fully anti­clockwise until the end stop is
reached.

Fit the motor as shown in diagram 21,
making sure that the motor sits on the
locating pin.

Replace the valve cover and tighten the
Philips headed screw. (Do not
overtighten the screw as this may cause
the control to malfunction). Make sure
that the snap connector has located
properly. When fitted correctly, the
valve cover holds the motor in the
correct position.

Attaching the Remote Control Receiver Box

The control lead is then attached to the receiver box using the plastic connector and
to the valve motor by the two spade terminals.

The Remote Control Receiver Box is powered by 4 x AA batteries (supplied). The
batteries are fitted by sliding the cover off the receiver box the orientation of the
batteries shown on the diagram in the box.

Fit the 9-volt battery to the remote control handset.
Test that the remote control system is working by pressing the increase and decrease
buttons on the handset.

If the system is working correctly, the receiver box can be sited. The ideal position
for the receiver box being on the hearth, at the back of the stove. The remote control
system is ultra-sonic and hence the receiver box does not have to be in line of sight of
the remote handset.

WARNING!

The receiver box should not be sited anywhere that the temperature will be greater
than 50 Celsius. High temperatures will shorten the battery life and may cause the

remote control receiver to stop operating.
