INSTALLATION INFORMATION
CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a competent (e.g. GAS
SAFE Registered) Installer, in accordance with the installation instructions and the
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. 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 fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf provided that the shelf is at least
200mm above the top of the appliance and the depth of the shelf does not exceed
150mm.
The fire may be installed below combustible shelves which exceed 150mm deep
providing that the clearance above the fire is increased by 15mm for each 25mm
of additional overhang in excess of 150mm.
No purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this
appliance when installed in G.B. When installed I.E. please consult document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation which is issued by the
National Standards Authority of Ireland. Any purpose made ventilation
should be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
If the chimney or flue has been previously used by appliances burning fuels other
than gas they must be swept prior to the installation of this fire.
If this appliance is fitted directly on to a wall without the use of a fireplace or surround, soft wall coverings such as wallpaper, blown vinyl etc. could be affected by
the heat and hot convection air and may discolour or scorch. This should be considered when installing or decorating.
The Model number of this appliance is as stated on the rating plate affixed to the

ABOUT YOUR NEW KALAHARI
The Kinder Kalahari coal effect gas fire incorporates 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 (only fitted to natural gas models) 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 GAS SAFE
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. These are conditions 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 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.
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.
The fire must only be operated with a fender which meets the criteria described in
the rear of this book.
OPERATING THE FIRE (MANUAL CONTROL MODELS)
The controls are located behind the ashpan cover which is situated behind the
Ashpan / Fender. 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. 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’s reflection can be seen by looking at the left hand side front of
the stainless steel side trim. 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 :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 pebble formation
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. It is recommended that 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 to give the most
pleasing flame effect or maximum glow.
