The Slimline Turbo is a decorative gas fire which incorporates a horizontal flue that has been designed specifically to be used in
applications that do not have a conventional chimney or flue but can be located so that the flue can terminate on an outside wall.
The fire is switched `ON’ and `OFF’ from a push button situated on the right hand top corner of the surround and is controlled by a
fully modulati ng ther mose le cto r t her mosta t. Once the desired room temperature that has been selected by the control has been reached,
the gas input to the appliance is automatically reduced to low. The fire has been constructed to enable it to be installed into applications
where the warmth and comfort of an open fire and high radiant heat is required. This appliance is intended for decorative purposes, the
coal bed uses ceramic simulated coals to give a realistic appearance and to allow secondary air to be entrained into the bed to ensure
clean combustion. An aerat ed single por t steel burner is used running par allel across t he front of the fir e. A Flame Supervision D evice
(FSD) is fitted to ensure that should the pilot flame be extinguished for any reason, (including turning off the appliance), the gas supply to
the burner is cut off until a full lighting sequence is repeated. A battery operated spark generator is used to ignite an Oxy/pilot sensor
(O.D.S) which will cause the appliance to 'shut off' in the event of continued spillage occurring under hazardous or blocked flue
conditions. The fire bed consists of ceramic fibre components and coals all of that are removable for cleaning purposes when required. It
is important when relayin g th e coal bed and coals to follow the in structions correctly .

IMPORTANT NOTES
This appliance is intended for decorative purposes, it is designed and manufactured to the relevant requirements of EN 509, BSI S.I.T. 8
and BS 5258 Pt 16 : 1991, it is f or u s e on Na tural Gas Only.
Areas of this appliance will beco me hot after pr ol onge d r unning and it is r ec ommended that fo r the pr ot ectio n of the ver y young, elderly
and infirm a fireguard conforming to BS 6539 or BS 6778 be used. Combustible materials should not be put or left on the hearth nor
should the coal bed be us ed to bu rn ru bbi s h or ot h er materials.
The type of front and fret recommended is shown as Fig 1 in this instruction, it has a perforated fret to allow air to be drawn into the coal
bed for combustion and over the controls for cooling purposes. If other fronts and frets are to be used they must have a minimum open
area in the fret of 50 sq. cms an d 60 s q. cms in the front.
Additional purpose built ventilation is not required for this appliance in GB only, for Ireland (IE) ventilation is required with a min ima l
cross sectional area of 100 sq. cms and should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction. It must be fitted in
accordance with the rules in f orce.
Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the fire as some vinyl and embossed materials may be
become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the radiant heat of the fire and from impinging the
hearth area. The hearth must n ot be cov ered by any combustible materials such as carpets etc.
This appliance is fitted with an Oxy-pilot, which in the event of the flue being blocked or hazardous conditions exists which causes the
appliance to spill products of combustion, will shut `OFF' the gas supply. If when the fire is relit the sequence is repeated the appliance
must be turned 'OFF' and not used un til ex pert advice has been obtained.
In very strong wind conditions the fan may be heard to increase in speed, this is not detrimental to the operation of the appliance, as the
increase is to extract those products that may be prevented leaving the flue by the wind. Exceptionally the fire may shut down and
require relighting due to a sustained strong gust.
The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require additional ventilation until the
odour has disappeared.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are manmade 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.
This fire will run for 4.4 hours on one therm of gas with the g as control on the hig h settin g .

Clearances
Side. Minimum clearan ce requ ired to an y combustible material to the s ide of th e applian ce must be 150mm.
Shelves. Minimum clearance to the underside of a 150mm deep combustible shelf from the hearth must be 790mm, add 12.5mm to this
dimension for every 25mm increase in th e depth of th e sh elf .
To light the appliance
Press down the control button at the right top corner of the surround. The fan should be heard to start initially on high speed and then
reducing to low speed, a spark will be heard and the gas will light at the pilot positioned at the centre of the front simulated coal (if a
spark is not heard - check battery). Hold for a period of 10-15 seconds and release - the main burner will light.
A taper may light the appliance by placing the lit taper over the coal front at the approximate centre position and pressing the control
button. See Fig 1.
The thermoselector control situated behind the ashpan cover (fret) is to be set to a position which maintains the room at the desired
comfort level, i.e. the higher the control setting the higher the mean temperature of the room. Adjustments to this control will take time
for the effect in the room to be apparen t .
To turn off the appliance and pilot - lift the control button.
IMPORTANT: After turning OFF or if the pilot and the appliance goes out for any reason, wait for three minutes before attempting to
relight.
Dismantling the Fire Bed for Cleaning
Allow the appliance to cool for 1 hour before handling any com ponents.
Remove the loose coals, lift off the simulated coal front, and remove the coal support shelf. Once all the fibre components have been
removed from the firebed check that no debris has fallen in or lodged the burner slots. If any debris is present it may be easily removed
by using a small piece of thin cardboard to ease out any f oreign matter. Be sure to remove the cardboard af ter u se. Any sooty deposits or
debris left on the coals may be removed by using a soft brush or by careful use of a vacuum cleaner. . Clea ni ng s ho ul d b e c ar r i ed out in
a well-ventilated area or in the open air, by gently brushing with the pieces held away from your face so that you avoid inhaling the
dust. We do not recommend the use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner, which may blow dust back into the air. Any sooty deposit
on the thermocouple probe can be cleaned of using a non-flu f f y cloth.
It is very important that the coals and the coal bed components are laid as shown no extra coals or material may be used. If any of the
items become lost or damaged, replacements m u st be obtain ed bef ore f u rth er u s e of th e applian ce.
Relaying the Coal Bed
Fit the coal support sh el f an d s imulated coal front. Fi g 2
Referring to figu res 2, 3 an d 4 lay the coals as follows:
1.Place 4 large round coals between the s imulated coal front and the support s h elf . Fi g 3
2.Place 3 round coals between the gaps in th e f ron t row. Fig 3
3.Place the 5 small round coals betw een th e g aps f ormed in the coals laid in 1 & 2 above. Fig 4
Cleaning the Front of the Appliance
The fire must be turned off and allowed to cool. The paintwork should be cleaned with a soft cloth or soapy water; the brass trim has a
clear lacquer coating to preserve the polished f i n is h . DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR METAL POLISH.

Spares and Service
For spares and service contact your local su pplier, in s taller or direct to th e manufacturer stating that th e applian ce is a Slimline Turbo and
quote the serial number from the data label located on the fascia panel.
If the fire fails to light and no spark is heard - in the first instance a replacement battery should be obtained and fitted. To replace battery,
remove the heat shield protecting the unit and slide battery forward. Ensure -ve connection is uppermost on the replacement and slide
into the connector receptacles.
Advantage should be taken of regular servicing and inspection of gas appliances to ensure their continued safe operation.
