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.

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).
3)
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
b)
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.

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
