Efficiency Declaration
The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in
BS EN 613 : 2001 and the result is 61% (coal) & 59% (log). The gross
calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation.
The test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by BSI Testing
Services.
The efficiency value may be used in the UK Government’s Standard Assessment
Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
1.1 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION
It is the law that all gas appliances are installed only by a GAS SAFE Registered
Installer, in accordance with these installation instructions and the Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 as amended. 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 installation must also be in accordance with all relevant parts of the Local and
National Building Regulations where appropriate, the Building Regulations
(Scotland Consolidation) issued by the Scottish Development Department, and all
applicable requirements of the following British Standard Code of Practice.
1. B.S. 5871 Part 1 Installation of Gas Fires
2. B.S. 6891 Installation of Gas Pipework
3. B.S. 5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation
4. I.S 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, issued by the National Standards
Authority of Ireland.
1.2 FLUE & CHIMNEY SUITABILITY

and fabricated flues and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715 / BS EN 1856-2
All flues must conform to the following minimum dimensions.
Minimum diameter of circular flues 125 mm (Without Flue
Restrictor Fitted)
Minimum effective height of all flue types 3 metres
When fitting to conventional chimneys or 175mm flues it may be desirable to
fit the flue restrictor baffle (supplied) to reduce the flue flow and increase the
efficiency of the fire. Safe clearance of products must always be checked by
carrying out a smoke match test as described.
4
1.3 VENTILATION
This Portway stove has a nominal input not exceeding 7kw and therefore does not
normally require additional purpose made ventilation when installed in G.B. If,
however spillage is detected when commisioning the stove there may be
insufficient natural ventilation in the property and additional ventilation may
therefore be required. Any purpose made ventilation must be checked periodically
to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
When Installing in I.E. please consult document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas
Installation, which is issued by the National Standards Authority of Ireland. If
installing in Northern Ireland, please consult local building regulations. Any
purpose made ventilation must be checked periodically to ensure that it is free
from obstruction.
1.4 CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE AND NON-COMBUSTIBLE
SURFACES
The Stove may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 610mm above the top of the stove and that it does not extend in front
of the stove. There must be a minimum distance of 300mm to any combustible
side or rear surface. The minimum clearance to non combustible materials at the
side and rear are 100mm, but please ensure sufficient access to the draft diverter
on the rear of the stove can be achieved to complete the spillage test when
commisioning the stove.
1.5 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.
1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any
obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in
the open position.
2. Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for
an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The
base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.
3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.
4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s
length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure
of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.
5
5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the
chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the
terminal / chimney pot outside.
There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of
the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is
important to check inside upstairs rooms / loft spaces adjacent to the
chimney / flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of
the brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if
there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a
history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and
certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should
be considered.
6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of
the appliance.
1.6 HEARTHS
This stove must only be installed on to a concrete or non-combustible hearth. The
hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 12mm with the top surface at
least 50mm above the floor. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the fire
opening and project at least 50mm from the base of the stove in all directions.
1.7 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with an spillage sensing thermal switch. This is designed
to shut the fire off in the event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing
a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire is operated. The
following are important warnings relating to this spillage
monitoring system :-
1.7.1 The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the installer.
1.7.2 The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of operation.
1.7.3 When the atmosphere sensing thermal switch is exchanged only a
complete original manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to
replace individual parts on the pilot system on this appliance, only a
complete switch assembly (including the connecting wires) may be
fitted.

Warning : Use only the logs supplied with the fire. When replacing the
logs remove the old logs and discard them. Fit a complete set
of logs of the correct type. Do not fit additional logs or any
logs other than a genuine replacement set.
This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(R.C.F.), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory
tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these
articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure
that the release of fibres from these R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum,
during installation & servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered
vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire,
before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not
classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site
licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not
required when handling these arrticles, but we do recommend you follow the
normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area,
and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does
not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related
products.

3.8 CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
3.8.1 Close all doors and windows in the room.
3.8.2 Light the stove and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high
position.
3.8.3 After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match just inside and
10mm below the top edge of the draft diverter (located on the rear of
right hand side of the stove as shown below in figure 36). A suitable
smoke match holder must be used when checking for clearance of
combustion products). All smoke generated should be drawn back into
the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in doubt, repeat the test after a
further 5-10 minutes. If the test indicates that spillage is occurring
and the flue restrictor baffle has been fitted, it should be removed
and the test repeated after the fire has cooled.
Fig. 36
3.8.4 If spillage persists, the flue is not functioning correctly and a fault exists.
If, after investigation the fault cannot be traced and rectified, the fire
must be disconnected from the gas supply and expert advice obtained.
3.8.5 If there is an extractor fan fitted any where in the vicinity of the
appliance, the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running on
maximum and all interconnecting doors open.
3.8.6 After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high
position to fully warm up. During this time a slight odour may be
noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the fire and will soon disappear.
Finally, hand this manual over to the customer and explain the operation
of the fire.

The exact position and fit of the logs may be finely adjusted to give the most
pleasing and random appearance.

logs remove the old logs and discard them. Fit a complete set
of logs of the correct type. Do not fit additional logs or any
logs other than a genuine replacement set.
This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(R.C.F.), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory
tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these
articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure
that the release of fibres from these R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum,
during installation & servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered
vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire,
before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not
classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site
licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not
required when handling these arrticles, but we do recommend you follow the
normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area,
and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does
not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related
products.

TROUBLE SHOOTING ADVICE FOR REMOTE CONTROL MODELS PRIOR
TO REQUESTING A SERVICE CALL
Please locate the Indicator light on the control valve, located at the base of the stove
(see figure 14 on page 59), if it shows any of the following flashing sequences then the
problem requires the batteries in the control valve and / or handset changing, be
advised that service calls as a result of batteries requiring being changed in the
product or handset are chargeable.
a) If the red indicator light flashes ONCE every ten seconds the batteries in the
control valve require changing, see section 5.5
b) If the red indicator light flashes TWICE every ten seconds the batteries in the
handset require changing, see section 5.5
c) If the red indicator light flashes THREE times every ten seconds the batteries in
the control valve and the handset require changing, see section 5.5
If these red indicator light flashes are ignored then eventually this will show as a flash
every second and your fire will cease to operate until the batteries are changed.
If a permanent red indicator light is shown after attempting to ignite the fire this signifies
no spark or no gas at the pilot and therefore a service call will be required to diagnose
the fault.
PLEASE ENSURE THIS ADVICE IS FOLLOWED TO AVOID BEING CHARGED FOR A
SERVICE CALL AS A RESULT OF BATTERIES REQUIRING TO BE CHANGED.
