This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless catalytic flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and convected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic converter and burner technology. The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the flue products to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe. It is designed to operate on Natural Gas or Propane (see data badge) and is factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data plate. The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturer’s original parts must be used. It is the LAW that all gas appliances and fittings are installed by a competent person and in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, the relevant British Standards for Installation, Codes of Practice and the Manufacturers' Instructions. At the time of writing, CORGI registered operatives are the only class of person considered as 'competent' by the HSE under the above regulations.The installation shall also be carried out in accordance with the following:

Failure to comply with the above could lead to prosecution and deem the manufacturer’s warranty invalid.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only in a sufficiently ventilated space.The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as described in sections 3.0 and 4.0.The appliance must be installed in a correctly sized room (see section 3.1), and the correct purpose provided ventilation must be provided (see section 4.1).

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, candle smoke etc.) exist, may cause the walls to become discoloured.

This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without some form of background heating present. If the appliance is used in a room as the sole source of heat, then condensation may occur on colder surfaces within the room.

On first light up of a new appliance, initial curing of high temperature paint and burning off of lubricants may occur for the first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from the outlet grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this period. During this period the appliance may cause smoke alarms to sound. If this happens, reset the alarms, but do not remove the batteries.

Consult ALL instructions before installation and use of this appliance. This appliance is free from any asbestos material.

If the appliance is to be sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue then the old flue must be sealed off. It will be necessary to ventilate the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness forming, however any air vent used to ventilate the old flue must not be sited within 500mm of this appliance. If the flue can be ventilated to the outside of the building then this is usually the best solution. If in doubt then advice should be sought from a local building control officer. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. If the appliance is to be mounted on a newly fabricated area of wall that also serves the purpose of sealing off the old flue then it is very important that there are no holes, gaps or otherwise in this wall that will allow draughts from the old flue to enter the room, especially directly behind the appliance. Such draughts could affect the performance of the ODS system and result in nuisance cutting out, for example. If the gas supply pipe is to enter the appliance from the rear, i.e. emerge from the wall behind the appliance, then any hole in the wall from which the pipe emerges must be tightly sealed. Any existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts.It is possible to install the appliance onto certain types of combustible materials - see section entitled 'Clearances to combustible materials'.

• P23 and L23 models :The room size should be a minimum of 23m3 (e.g. 10'1" x 10'1" x 8').

• L30 models :The room size should be a minimum of 30m3 (e.g. 11'6" x 11'6" x 8').

This is to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire.This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door. Note : To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume in cubic feet (ft3) by 35.3.

This appliance may be installed in any room in the home except bathrooms or bedrooms. Upon implementation of BS 5871 pt 4, installation in bedrooms is then permitted. If the appliance is to be fitted in a bedroom then an electronic carbon monoxide detector complying with the current edition of BSEN 50291 must be installed in the

same room as the appliance. For maximum safety it is recommended that such device is continuously (mains) powered and arranged in such a way that the gas supply to the appliance is isolated in the event of an alarm.The selection and installation of such device shall be in accordance with the current edition of BSEN 50292, and the user must be briefed regarding the use and maintenance of such a device. Installation in living rooms is common, however other rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms and hallways are permitted,providing a suitable natural gas supply is available, and rooms sizing and ventilation requirements are strictly adhered to (see sections 3.1 and 4.1).

2.0 APPLIANCE DATA

This appliance is designed to be wall-hung. Do not recess any part of the appliance into the wall.

WARNING

The appliance is designed to be versatile, and as such will operate correctly when exposed to normal gentle draughts experienced within the home. It is not recommended, however that the appliance be installed in areas where it is likely to be directly exposed to persistent strong draughts, that may be generated by outside doors, windows, air vents, air conditioning units, extractor fans, ceiling fans etc. See section 4.1 for more information on ventilation.

Clearances to non-combustibles

Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-made materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before proceeding with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4”). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm (20”). The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind the appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.

A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than 400mm from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible. The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 60mm ( 2.4”) of a solid floor (i.e. wood or stone) or hearth.This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

Clearances to combustible materials

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame. Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should be considered as a combustible material or surface.

Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4”) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted within a distance of 500mm(20in) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the appliance regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm (31.5”) measured from the top of the appliance glass panel. Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre. Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the appliance.The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with their installation.

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Brick, concrete, finished plaster, most types of conventional wall paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or discolouration may occur over time.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not damaged - refer to section 7.0.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 100 mm (4”) of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

A minimum of 100 cm

purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance.This may be achieved either with one vent 100 cm2at a high or low position in the room, or split ventilation i.e. 50cm2be installed at high level and 50cm2be installed at low level within the room. An openable window or equivalent is also required.

To reduce the possibility of draughts, road noise or insects entering the room via the air vent, we recommend the use of “Black Hole”,“Vortex” or “Centurion” type vents featuring internal baffles.The requirements of any other gas, oil or solid fuel appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.

Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 (BS5871 part 4 when published) and BS 5440 part 2.

Ventilation fitted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of the ODS system. For Republic of Ireland refer to the current edition of IS813 and any relevant rules in force. The appliance shall not be installed within 1 metre of any existing air vent,and any new air vent shall not be installed within 1 metre of the appliance.
