1. Conformity

Because Multiglow Fires believe in the use of modern technology and materials, they reserve the rights to modify or change the layout and controls of their burner trays, at anytime, whilst still complying with current specifications.

Therefore these ‘instructions’ are a general guide only and are not specifically in compliance with the shape or size of your appliance. These units must be installed in line with current ‘GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATION’ applicable to the country of use.

Warning

Only use the approved refractories supplied with this appliance.

NOTE: For the safe and efficient operation of this appliance, it must be installed inline

with current British Standard (BS 5871: PART 3) or the equivalent standard for the country of use and take into account the local and national building regulations or bye-laws where necessary.

NOTE: This appliance has been designed for use with LPG only. Prior to installation,

ensure that the distribution conditions (identification of the type of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

NOTE: The fire must not be operated with either the white fibre blanket, pumice or black

ceramic board (dependent upon model) removed from the burner tray.

NOTE: Multiglow Fires will NOT accept any liability or responsibility for an appliance that

has been installed outside the technical data specified in this manual and is not in agreement with the above statements.

2. General Notes

The MULTIGLOW CLASSIC II LPG is a Decorative Fuel Effect (D.F.E.) primary aerated gas fire, designed to comply with BS EN 509:2000 and is intended for decorative use only. It has been designed to operate on LPG Gas only and must be fitted on a non-combustible hearth in a standard builders opening, with either a Class 1 (7”) or Class 2 (5”) chimney/flue (subject to appliance size) and satisfy the ventilation requirements of BS 5871 – Part 3.

This appliance conforms to the relevant Safety Standards but during use, there are naked flames and parts of the casing become hot.

Warning

If the appliance is fitted with a permanent guard (to BS 6778), no part of the guard should be permanently removed so that access to the flame is minimized, as it does not give full protection for young children, the elderly or the infirm.

This appliance is not fitted with an integral guard. In normal use consideration may be given to the use of a guard conforming to BS 6678 or BS 6539 such that the access to the flame is minimised and for the protection of young children, the elderly or the infirm.

NOTE: The larger of the units manufactured have gas consumption similar to that of a

small boiler (i.e. 50,000 BTU). Therefore, it is essential that the gas supply pipework be of a size that will allow for the correct flow rate (see TECHNICAL DATA for required information). Ideally, the 8mm connection pipe to the burner should be as short as possible and the maximum length should not be greater than 1m. Also ensure that the isolating tap does not have a reduced bore.

NOTE: The Basket or Fret used with this appliance will become hot during use. Care

should be taken when operating the controls.

RCF Advice:

This product may use components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are main-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to the fine dust of this material may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.

Therefore during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on the fire, to ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.

You should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area.

When replacing components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene

Page 4

bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste and may be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.

It should be noted that exposure to the fibres is unlikely in normal use.

2.1. Flue Specifications

All appliance sizes have been tested and approved with a flue of 7” (178mm) diameter and having a minimum effective height of 10ft (3m).

2.2. Ventilation Requirements

The room in which the appliance is to be fitted must have permanent air vent with a minimum effective area of 100 sq. cm (15

1/2

sq. inches) and be accessible to

the outside air.

All ventilation must comply with the rules in force for the country in which

the appliance is fitted.

NOTE: Vent should be checked on a regular basis to ensure that there is no obstruction.

Warning

An extractor fan must not be fitted in the room that the ventilation is taken from.

Page 8

Warning

This appliance must not be fitted in any room where steam is present (e.g. Bathroom)

The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth and be 50mm (2”) above floor level to discourage the over-laying of carpets or rugs etc.

There must be a 125mm (5”) clearance underneath the appliance if it uses either a GV34 or GV60 valve unless using the heat shield supplied.

5) The minimum clearance height above fireplace opening for a combustible shelf (having a depth of 150mm (6”) is 200mm (8”); add 12mm (1/2”) for each additional 25mm (1”) depth of shelf.

Warning

Please note that the soft wall coverings may be come discoloured when close to a heating appliance – this should be born in mind.

6) When installed into a Class 2 flue system, the minimum flue opening for appliance models A and B is 125mm (5”).

When installing into a Class 1 chimney, the minimum flue opening is 178mm (7”) diameter 250cm2 (38½ sq. inches) and a minimum effective height 3m (10ft). Provided that the flue which is to serve this appliance satisfies the requirements of BS 5871:PART 3 then the terminal in-line fan satisfying BS5440:PART 1 may be used to improve flue draught.

Warning

The flue must NOT be shared with any other appliance.

8) All chimney dampers or restrictions should be removed or permanently fixed in the open position.

Warning

If the fireplace has previously been used with solid fuel the flue should be swept clean prior to installation and a flue test in accordance with national regulations is carried out.

9) The room in which the appliance is to be fitted must have permanent air vent with a minimum effective area of 100cm2 (15½ sq. inches) and be accessible to the outside air, unless specifically stated otherwise by the manufacturer.

Figure 2 – Correct Air Flow

4.3.1. Ventilation

When installing a raised chamber fire, it is critical to ensure that the ventilation for the fire (for combustion and cooling purposes) is carefully thought through. Failure to provide suitable ventilation may invalidate your warranty.

For Cooling Purposes

The requirement is that air is drawn from the room into the cavity below the burner and up through the vents at the back of the chamber, then up the flue. This will keep the control equipment below 700c – the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Refer to the diagrams above, which identify where the ventilation holes may be located. It is recommended that location “A” is chosen for aesthetic reasons. A proprietary grille should be used. The ventilation must be at least 100cm2 free area in total.

In all cases it is essential that the void shown in Figure 2 above is sealed as shown.

For Combustion Purposes

The requirement is that air is drawn into the chamber from the room and then up the flue.

1) Decide where the gas supply will feed to and from.

2) Decide where the steel chamber will sit. If any incandescent materials are at least 225mm above the floor, a hearth may not be required (but refer to the next point below).

However, Building Regulation Document J, paragraph 3.40 currently states:

An appliance shall be placed on a hearth unless:

Page 10

a) They are installed so that every part of any flame or incandescent material will be

at least 225mm above the floor; or

The manufacturer’s instructions state that a hearth is not required.

It is Multiglow’s recommendation that a hearth is used with this appliance. Should you decide that a hearth is not required, then consideration should be given to the safety of the users of the room.

Figure 3 – Incorrect Air Flow

Figure 4

4.4. Pre-Installation Checks

4.4.1. Flue soundness

Using a smoke bomb, carry out a flue test to check the effectiveness of the flue and ensure that there is no leakage into another part of the premises (including any loft) or, as appropriate other adjoining premises.

NOTE: Although a smoke pellet produces a large amount of smoke the volume is small

compared with the combustion products from an appliance. Clearance of smoke from a pellet is therefore no guarantee that the products of combustion from the appliance will clear. This must be tested after the installation is completed by carrying out a spillage test.

Page 11

Warning

Smoke escaping anywhere other than the correct terminal, or a downdraught or no-flow condition indicates an unsatisfactory flue. The flue may need attention - seek expert advice.

4.4.2. Ventilation

In line with Section 2.2 - Ventilation Requirements, make sure that the room or space where the appliance is located is adequately ventilated and that the means of ventilation is suitable.

NOTE: The size and type of ventilation should take into account any other gas appliance

that maybe fitted in the room or space.

4.4.3. Gas Soundness

It is a requirement that an isolation valve or valves are fitted adjacent to the appliance which when closed allows gas soundness checks to be carried out on the installation pipe work and also allows the complete burner and control assembly to be disconnected for maintenance or repair in accordance with national regulations.

NOTE: Check that an adequate size gas isolation valve is fitted and working.

4.4.4. Ignition Check

The pilot and ignition unit is mounted to the front and centre of the main burner unit. Check by observation that a spark is produced between the pilot thermocouple/burner head and the piezo electrode by using the lighting procedure, defined in Section 10 -

Control Systems.

4.5. Burner Installation

1) The fire should be fitted under the flue opening so that no part of the fire bed protrudes beyond the fireplace opening. If your appliance is fitted with legs it is a free standing type and is to be secured to the hearth or fireplace floor.

2) Place appliance centrally into fire opening so that the back of the burner tray is a MINIMUM of 10mm from the rear wall of the fireback insert.

3) For Remote control and Wall switch control models, fold and mount the heat shield (where supplied/required) in an appropriate place, underneath or adjacent to the burner.

4) For Wall switch control models, the wall switch may be fitted into an appropriately sized flush or surface mounted box. Wiring may then be run to where the receiver unit is to be mounted.

5) For Mains operated receiver models locate the transformer in a suitable position (this must not be under the fire) where it can be wired into the mains electric supply

Page 12

and the low voltage lead connected to the receiver. Transformers must be connected to the mains supply in accordance to the rules in force.

6) Before securing the burner into position, run the gas pipe as appropriate.

7) Dependent upon the application, use one of the following methods to make provision for burner fixings.

4.5.1. Baskets and Cast Inserts

The burner tray must be appropriately secured into either the basket or cast insert, so that it cannot move during operation.

NOTE: If appliance is to be used in conjunction with a free standing basket, place burner

tray into basket and secure with fixing provided then position both burner tray and basket centrally into the hearth opening.

4.5.2. Standard Inserts (Burners with Legs)

If using a proprietary flue box, burner fixings may be provided. Alternatively, proceed as follows:

1) Mark the hearth floor through the fixing holes provided in appliance mounting legs.

2) Remove the appliance and using a suitable masonry drill, drill marked positions and fit suitable rawlplugs.

3) Replace and realign the appliance and/or secure into position with suitable screws.

Page 13

4.6. Connection to Gas Supply

1) Purge the gas supply pipe work to remove air and debris BEFORE connection of the fire. The 8mm pipe should be used to connect valve to an isolating tap, which must be adjacent to the appliance (so that when tap is closed appliance is totally isolated).

NOTE: Soft soldered joints should not be used beneath burner tray.

Warning

Flexible pipe must not be used.

2) Turn on the gas supply and check for gas soundness (tests should be carried out in accordance with current Gas Safety Regulations).

4.7. Gas Control Installation

The following procedures describe additional work required depending upon the specific control method supplied with the appliance.

10.2. Manual Control (Barrel)

Figure 14 – Barrel Control Valve

1) Ensure that the control knob is pointing upwards (as shown in Figure 14) in the OFF

Position.

2) Press the knob in fully, and then slowly turn it anti-clockwise towards the PILOT

position until a loud click is heard. This should allow gas to the pilot and light it. Once the pilot flame is visible (located near to the front centre of the fire), hold the knob in for a further 10-20 seconds then release slowly.

3) If the pilot does not light or it goes out when releasing the knob, return the knob to

the OFF position and retry. When the fire is first installed or serviced, it may initially take a few attempts to light the pilot until any air is purged.

4) If this operation fails to light the pilot, it can be lit manually with caution, using a

lighted match or taper through the pilot slot whilst turning the knob as above.

5) The main burner can now be lit by continuing to turn the knob anti-clockwise towards

the maximum position (large flame icon), until the pilot lights the main burner.

6) At this point, the control can be set between the minimum (small flame) and

maximum position.

7) To extinguish the main burner, push the knob in and turn it back to the PILOT

position, then release.

8) To extinguish the pilot from this position, push the knob in and turn back the OFF

position, then release.

The fire can be safely left with the pilot lit (without main burner) for periods of time, but the pilot can be turned off for extended periods of not using the burner (i.e. periods of warm weather) or if the user prefers.

NOTE: Should the fire be extinguished intentionally or unintentionally, do not attempt to

relight it for at least 3 minutes.

10.4. Remote Control (GV34)

Figure 16 – GV34 Valve Controls

NOTE: The GV34 Control Valve gas two functions.

1) Pilot Control: Operated Manually

2) Flame Control: Can be operated either manually or electrically via the Receiver and Handset.

10.4.1. Manual Lighting Procedure

1) Turn the Pilot Control Knob anti-clockwise towards the ignition position until reaching stop, then press down and hold for 5 seconds (only pilot gas flows).

2) Whilst continuing to press down the Pilot Control Knob, turn it further anti-clockwise to activate the piezo ignition. Continue to hold down for 10 seconds after the pilot burner has been lit. If the pilot does not light, repeat these first two steps. When the fire is first installed or serviced, it may initially take a few attempts to light the pilot until any air is purged.

3) Upon lighting, release the knob and turn fully anti-clockwise to the ON position. Pilot gas flows and main gas flows in accordance to the flame setting that the motorised control has been set at.

4) Adjusting the flame Height: The motorised control has a slipping clutch. This allows the motorised control to be operated by hand, should the batteries run out. To set the flame height to the required level turn knob either clockwise or anti-clockwise to suit personal requirements.

10.4.2. Remote Control Lighting Procedure

Figure 17 - GV34 Remote Control Handset

To light the Pilot Burner, carry out steps 1 to 3 as specified above. Adjusting the flame Height: To turn the fire on and/or to increase the flame height by

using the handset, press both the large and small ON buttons simultaneously. Continue pressing until the desired flame effect is obtained. To reverse the procedure, press and hold the OFF button.

NOTE: When operating this appliance by the remote control, it is not required to turn the

pilot burner off after each and every time that the appliance is used. The operation of the OFF button shuts off the gas supply to the main burner.

10.4.3. Shut Off Procedure

1) Turn the Pilot Control knob clockwise until reaching stop. In this position only pilot gas flows.

2) To shut off the valve completely, press down slightly and continue turning clockwise from the pilot position to the OFF position. The safety interlock prevents reignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled down sufficiently.

3) Switching off the remote is not necessary.

NOTE: Should the fire be extinguished intentionally or unintentionally, do not attempt to

relight it for at least 3 minutes.
