The Royal Cheltenham glass fronted high efficiency live fuel effect inset gas fire has been developed from the
successful Royal Cozyfires LFE using much of the technology and components used in the manufacture of this
appliance.
The fuel bed has a realistic coal effect utilizing ceramic ‘coals’ and coal bed that allows secondary air to be
entrained into the bed for clean combustion. The burner is an aerated twin ported steel burner running parallel
across the front of the fire. The gas control fitted has a variable high to low setting and includes the added
protection of a flame supervision device. A separate piezo igniter used to ignite an Oxy/pilot device to prevent
continued spillage occurring under hazard ous f lue co nditio ns.
The installation must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the relevant British Standards,
Codes of Practice and Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 or the rules in force. Failure to install an
appliance correctly could lead to prosecutio n.
Before the appliance is installed, the installer must check that all the requirements for the flue are satisfied and that
the chimney is sound and clean, a nd t hat it has been swep t pri or t o installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES
FIREGUARD The glass window on this gas fire is manufactured to the requirements of BS 1945 1971, and
satisfies the Heating Appliances (fireguards) (safety) Regulations 1991. The Royal Cheltenham is a heating
appliance and as such some areas of the appliance will become hot. It is recommended that a fireguard to BS 6539
1984, is used for the protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm.
THIS APPLIANCE IS FITTED WITH SPECIAL HEAT RESISTING GLASS PANELS, IF ANY PANEL IS
DAMAGED THE FIRE MUST NOT BE USED AND A REPLACEMENT SPARE PANEL MUST BE
OBTAINED TO CARRY OUT THE REPAIR.
It is very importan t t hat the wa rm air o utle t g r il les ar e no t o bstructed or used for drying towels etc.
When the fire is new, an initial odour may be detected. This is due to certain materials used during the
manufacture of the fibre components, increase the vent ilat ion to the r oom during the ini tial burn-in.
The stainless steel used for the construction of the combustion chamber may become discoloured (blued). This is
due to the temperature s and does no t de trac t from the effectiveness of the fire.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre
(RCF), 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.
Care must be taken on the selection of the wall coverings within close proximity of the fire as some vinyl’s and
embossed materials may 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 not be covered by any combustible
materials such as carpet, etc.
It is recommended that the appliance is serviced annually by a competent person, the flue checked for satisfactory
clearance of combustion products and that there is no excessive build-up of soot. An inspection should be made for
any build-up of soot or debris falling behind the unit that could prevent products of combustion being drawn into
the flue.
Any existing or purpose built vent ilat ion mu st be kept clear and free from o bs truction.

TO LIGHT APPLIANCE (see Fig 1)
Remove the Fret (controls cover) to gain access.
Press and turn the gas control knob anticlockwise until the indicator is opposite IGN. Keep the gas control fully
depressed.
Press and release the igniter button until the Oxy/pilot flame situated on the left-hand side of the burner has lit.
Keep the gas control depressed for a further 10 to 15 second s.
Release the gas control and check that the pilot flame remains lit. Refer to Fig 3 to view pilot.
Note. For convenience, the unit can be operated with the pilot only, e.g. with the control knob set in the IGN
position.
Push in the gas control slightly and turn anticlockwise so that the indicator dot is at the required setting. Replace
the Fret (controls cover).
To turn off the appliance and pilot, turn the gas control clockwise from any position - until the indicator dot is
opposite OFF.
In the event of the piezo igniter failing, the fire can be lit with a taper or spill. Light the taper and push through the
slots below the glass panel in the position shown in fig 2. Push and turn the control knob to the ignition position
and keep it pressed for 10 seconds after the O xy /pilot has lit.
IMPORTANT: After turning the appliance OFF, allow 3 minutes before attempting to relight. Should the
Oxy/pilot flame become extinguished and cut off the gas supply to the main burner, allow 3 minutes before
attempting to relig ht, if this re -occ urs turn off the appliance and seek expert advice.

DISMANTLING THE FIRE BED F OR CL EANING (see fig.3, 4 & 5)
Allow the appliance to cool for 1 hour before handling any components. Remove the controls cover and unscrew
the two wing screws securing the canopy in place as shown in (fig 3). Lift the canopy off the appliance and place to
one side. Support the glass panel and remove the four wing screws securing the glass panel and retaining plate in
position and lift clear of the L & R hand corner retaining brackets and upwards clear of the side plates. Should a ny
soot accumulation become excessive, the fuel effect pieces should be removed from the fire for cleaning.
Cleaning should be carried 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. Care fully lift off the coals and the coal support
shelf, remove the L & R hand side cheeks also the simulated coal front, lift out the two burner inserts, if necessary
remove the back panel. Any debris in the burner ports may be removed with a thin piece of card or similar ma terial.
The firebed can now be replaced in the following way. If the back panel has been removed - stand the panel on the
support flange behind the two rear legs and stand the L & R hand side cheeks on the side support flanges. Place the
coal support shelf with the rebate on the underside, located over the rear flange of the support channel. Place the
burner inserts in the channel between the front and rear ports; position the simulated front coal on the shelf with the
rebates over the flanges. See Fig 4.

COAL LAYING INSTRUCTIONS
Lay the four front coals diagonally with the stepped corner sitting on the simulated coal front and t he small corner
notch at the rear. Lay a further row of four coals behi nd the fro nt r ow with steppe d corners in the rear corners of the
front row, the two centre coals having notches in the rear top corners. Lay two more coals in the notches of the
centre two coals. See Fig 5.
Lay the three small coals on the top L&R corners and in the centre of the back row.

Note: Should any ‘coals’ or the coal bed become damaged, lost or broken, only the correct replacements must be
obtained and fitted before the appliance is used. Extra ‘coals’ etc. must not be added to the coal bed. The coal bed
must always be assembled as detailed.
This appliance is fitted with an Oxy/pilot the purpose of which is to monitor spillage in the event of a flue blockage
or hazardous flue condition. This may cause the oxygen content of the room to become depleted; the flame then
becomes extended which allows the thermocouple to cool sufficient to cause the FFD to cut off the supply of gas to
the burner. If this occurrence is repeated, the appliance must not be used until a specialist has been consulted.
CLEANING THE FRONT OF TH E AP P LIANCE AND CLEANING THE WINDOW
The fire must be turned off and allowed to cool for approximately 2 hours. The paintwork should be cleaned with
a soft cloth or soapy water. The brass trim can be cleaned with most proprietary brands of metal cleaners although
care must be taken not to use abrasive materials. The glass window can be cleaned with most proprietary window
cleaners.
To clean the coal bed or the inside of t he glass pane l refer t o 5. 1 & 5.2
