CARE WHEN HANDLING.

6.1 Remove the door by undoing the four dome nuts using the
tool supplied and place to one side.

6.2 Carefully remove the ceramic fuel bed components and
place to one side taking care to protect floor coverings etc.
PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE.

OUTER CASING.

The fuel bed consists of 5 logs and 2 ash panels. The logs
have letters A,B,C,D and E moulded into them for
identification.

7.1 Take the rear log A and place it up against the rear of the
fire sitting on the two flat ledges of the burner. The two legs

4. UPGRADING YOUR STOVE

4.1 Your stove is fitted with a control valve that can be easily
upgraded to battery powered remote control. This upgrade
can be fitted by anyone capable of simple DIY jobs and
requires no special training. There are two versions of this
control which can be obtained through your local Gazco
stockist.

4.2 STANDARD REMOTE CONTROL This remote control can
control the gas appliance after the pilot has been lit. It can
turn the main burner on and regulate it from low through to
high and back again. It can turn the main burner off leaving

MODE’ it will turn the fire on and off according to a pre-set
programme and automatically regulate the room
temperature during two ON periods. GAZCO PART
NUMBER 8456.

5. HANDLING & DISPOSAL OF FIRE CERAMICS

The fuel effect and side panels in this appliance are made
from Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), a material which is
commonly used for this application.

Protective clothing is not required when handling these
articles, but we recommend you follow normal hygiene rules
of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and
always wash your hands before eating or drinking.

To ensure that the release of RCF fibres are kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered
vacuum is recommended to remove any dust accumulated
in and around the appliance before and after working on it.
When servicing the appliance it is recommended that the
replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags and labelled as RCF waste.

RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste
and may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.

Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary
irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; wash hands
thoroughly after handling the material.

7.2 Place log B on the left-hand side of the burner with the
location bar on the underside of the log fully located in the
long slot of the burner. Make sure the log is as far to the left
as possible. See diagram 4.

7.3 Place log C on the right-hand side of the burner with the
location bar on the underside of the log fully located in the
long slot in the burner. Make sure the log is as far right as
possible. See diagram 5.

7.4 Place log D across from the rear log A to log B on the left­hand side. There are cut-outs in both logs for location. See
diagram 6.

7.5 There are two ash panels which lay across the front of the
burner skin. Place the panel with the flat edge facing the left
side of the firebox. There are location holes on this log
which fit over the screw holes of the burner skin.

7.6 Place the second ash panel to the right of the first, with the
pointed end of the panel fitting into the V shape. This panel
should locate on the screw holes of the burner skin. Ensure
that both logs are horizontal to the burner ports.

7.7 Place log E across from the rear of log A to log C on the
right-hand side. Again, there are cut-outs for location. The
front of the log should sit on the front ash panels and should

7.8 Carefully insert the front coal retainer into the front panel of
the firebox. Take care not the scrape/damage the logs. This
coal retainer sits in two brackets. Ensure it is fully inserted,
leaving approximately a 4 mm gap between the firebox
ledge and the bottom of the coal retainer.

7.9 Ensure that the fibreglass seal on the back of the door is
intact, locate the door on the four studs and slide back to
the firebox. Secure in place using the four dome nuts and
tool supplied. Do not overtigthen the nuts, see diagram 11.

NEVER OPERATE THE STOVE WHEN THE DOOR IS
REMOVED.

8. GAZCO FLUE SURE SYSTEM

8.1 The stove is fitted with the Gazco Flue Sure System, which
will act to cut off the gas supply to the burners in the event
of incorrect operation of the flue. If the system acts to cut off
the gas supply, this indicates that there is insufficient flue
pull. If this occurs a minimum of 10 minutes should be
allowed before trying to relight. Continued operation of this
safety device means there may be a serious problem with
the flue system. A qualified gas engineer should inspect this.

DO NOT USE THE STOVE UNTIL AN ENGINEER SAYS IT
IS SAFE TO DO SO.

9. THE FLAME FAILURE DEVICE

9.1 This is a safety feature incorporated in all GAZCO fires
which automatically switches off the gas supply if the pilot
light goes out and fails to heat the thermocouple.

10. ‘RUNNING IN’

10.1 The surface coating on your GAZCO fires will "burn off"
during the first 24 hours of use, producing a harmless and
temporary odour. This will disappear after the short period
of use. If the odour persists, ask your retailer for advice.

11. SERVICING

11.1 A qualified gas engineer must service the stove every 12
months. In all correspondence, always quote the appliance
type and the Serial Number that may be found on the
databadge on the appliance.

12. VENTILATION

12.1 Any purpose provided ventilation should be checked
periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.

13. INSTALLATION DETAILS

13.1 To assist in any future correspondence, your installer should
have completed the commissioning sheet at the front of this
manual. This records the essential installation details of this
appliance. In all correspondence always quote the Model
No. and Serial No.

14. HOT SURFACES

14.1 The manufacturer consider the full outer casing of this stove
to be a working surface. Therefore it will become hot whilst
in operation. A suitable guard is recommended to protect
young children, the aged and the infirm.
