We wish you happy heating with the purchase of this gas fire. Please read these instructions carefully before you install the fire and start using it. Keep these instructions in a safe place. Always quote type and serial number in the event of a problem.

1. General

The Apertura is delivered complete. You should inspect the appliance for damage in transit immediately on delivery. Any damage found should be reported without delay and as precisely as possible to your supplier. Please refer to the delivery document in this connection. Your fire is coated with heat-resistant enamel that can withstand extremely high temperatures. Burn the fire at high during the first hours of use and ventilate the room well. The curing of the enamel may produce a smell/smoke, but this is harmless, however. After the window has cooled down, any marks on the glass should be removed immediately with glass cleaner.

Important information

The Apertura must be installed, connected and inspected by a recognized installer, in accordance with national and regional standards. The appliance must be checked by the installer for gas tightness to gas and combustion products and the correct operation of the various components and functions. In addition, the flue system and the outlets in external walls or roof surface must comply with current regulations. The fire falls within the category of closed appliances in an installation space, without blower and with a flue loss in excess of 17 % (non-condensing).

Guarantee ( see page 21 and 22)

Always complete your guarantee card in full and return it to your supplier immediately after purchase. Type and serial numbers are shown on the plate that you will find in the control box. (See Page 12 diagram 1-14).

Adjusting the temperature display (ºC en ºF)

After the 9 V battery (B-1) has been connected, the auto and timer buttons can be pressed simultaneously to change the temperature setting. The display will start flashing and the adjustment mode has now been activated. Change temperature from ºF to ºC by pressing the auto button. This function can also be used to set the clock at the correct time, by pressing the high/low buttons high: hours, low: minutes. The display will automatically return to the Start position, but this can also be done by pushing the timer button.

Setting the required temperature

Press the auto button until the display starts to flash. Use the high/low buttons to set the required tempera- ture. Wait or now press the auto button again and the display will return to the auto

position. A temperature sensor in the remote control measures the ambient temperature. The remote control compares the ambient temperature with the temperature set and subsequently sends a signal to the receiver, which operates the gas block motor to increase or reduce the flame height

Setting the timer function

Press the timer button until display P 1

* flashes. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the

time for the first heating period. Press the timer button until display P 1

) appears. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the

time for the end of the first period. Press the timer button until display P 2 * flashes. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the

time for the first heating period. Press the timer button until display P 2 ) appears. Now use the high/low buttons : hours/minutes to set the

time for the end of the first heating period. Either wait or press the timer button, and the display will return to the timer setting. If the symbol ) ap-

pears, the present time is outside the heating period.

Page.5

Manual flame height adjustment using various modes

Press the high button to switch the fire on or to adjust the flame height upwards; use the low button to lower the flame height or until only the pilot light is burning. The manual control function overrides all functions. Simply press the high or low button in order to activate the manual control function. The trans- mit symbol will then appear at the top left of the display. Just press the timer or auto button to adjust set- tings in the timer or auto function. When the auto function is activated by pressing the auto button, the set temperature will appear in the display for a short time, before changing to the ambient temperature. There is only one adjustment option for the temperature (setting auto mode, see paragraph 2) for both heating pe-

riods P1 * and P2 * and the same applies in the timer mode. When the timer mode has been activated, the auto button can be pressed to check the temperature setting and the timer button can then be pressed again

to return to the timer

mode. When the timer mode is in the ) position ( “off” outside the heating period),

the gas valve will now be turned back to the pilot light setting.

Changing the battery

When the text BAT appears in the top right of the display, replace the battery with a new one. Remote control : 1x 9V block (alkaline recommended) Receiver : 4x AA 1.5V (alkaline recommended)

Before settings are adjusted by means of the auto

and timer modes, press one of the high/low buttons in order to see whether the transmit symbol appears in the top left of the display, and the green LED on the receiver (See Page 14 diagram 6-F1). This makes it possible to check whether the whole remote control/ receiver combination is working properly.

The temperature is controlled by the activity of the gas block motor in adjusting the appropriate flame height for a specific length of time. Flame height is determined by variables such as the size of the room, capacity of the fire, battery voltage, etc. The remote control measures how quickly the room temperature increases when the fire is on and activates the gas block motor for a longer or shorter time during the following heating period (for better flame height adjustment). After a number of periods, the fire will keep on burning at “low”, or between the “low” period and “off”, when the heat is sufficient to maintain the pre-set heat.

Connections

The right-angled connectors (D) of the receiver wires must be attached to the flat 6.3 mm & 4.8 mm connections linked to the motor. The model with thermostat and timer must only be used in combination with the GV 34 gas block or a modified (motorized) GV 36 gas block, and then only with a cover with micro switch connection. The connectors (P) must be coupled to the flat 2.7 mm connectors on the micro switch for this purpose.

Technical specifications

Radiographic Transmission: Frequency: ON 40.5 kHz, OFF 40 kHz / Range: 0.5…10m Ambient temperature : Transmitter & Receiver: max. 60ºC / Connecting wires: max.180ºC

Igniting the pilot light

The gas cock and air-inlet grids should be open in order to light the gas fire.

· First ignite the pilot light by turning knob (A1) to the stop in the direction of position . Now push the knob in and wait several seconds (gas will flow out of the pilot light burner for the ignition of the pilot light).

· Keeping the knob pushed in, turn the knob further to the left until you hear a click (spark visible at pilot light burner).

· When the pilot light is burning, hold the knob pushed in for a further 20 seconds.

· Release knob (A1) and check whether the pilot light continues to burn. If this is not the case, repeat the ignition operation.

· After the ignition of the pilot light turn knob A1 round to position

Igniting the main burner

Button (B6) on the remote control (B) is used to ignite the main burner.

· The flame height has an infinitely variable adjustment, which is operated by continuing to push button (B6).

· The flame height can be infinitely adjusted downward by pushing button (B7) until the burner is com pletely extinguished.

Extinguishing

Turn the main fire off completely by holding button (B7) pushed in, before extinguishing the appliance completely.

· Now turn knob A1 to the right as far as it will go, to position push the knob in and then turn it to position

Warning

After extinguishing the pilot light, wait at least 5 minutes before turning the appliance on again. Do not burn any wood or other fuel. Do not place any highly flammable articles nearby. Only install the appliance in a well-ventilated room. The air supply to the appliance must be guaranteed at all times.

Maintenance

· The fire can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The appliance should be switched off immediately if any- thing is spilled on it. Never use an abrasive !!!

· It is recommended to have the fire inspected and cleaned by an installer before

every heating season. If the

special glass is broken or cracked, have it replaced at once before you turn the fire on again.

Warning: Gas fires become hot when they are in use. Care must be exercised therefore and children and invalids, for example, should be kept away from burning fires. Fires must also never be placed on or against flammable materials (curtains etc.).

3. Preparations for installing the Apertura

Remove the accessories inside the supports. Carefully take the supports out of the box, so that the appliance comes clear. Always check all components for damage or breakage. The appliance is now ready to be installed.

Page.7

4. Installation instructions for the Apertura with concentric duct connection

General instructions

The fire should only be installed and connected by a registered installer, in accordance with the local Gas Appliance Instructions. Also see Page 3 “Important information” Never place the fire against or in a flammable wall. The gas connection must be stress-free, to ensure no damage occurs to the gas regulating equipment. Check the gas connections for leaks, using soapy water or leak detection spray. The pipe should therefore be de-aerated first. Light the fire in accordance with the operating instructions and check that the shape of the flame is even. After the first firing, you should remove any deposit left on the glass window by the curing of the enamel.

Installing the Apertura (See Page 12 diagram 1) NB: You are recommended to read Section 5 “Concentric duct system” on page 8 before installing the ap-

pliance (in connection with the necessity of fitting the restriction sheet).

· First dismantle Front 11, 12 or 13, depending on the version you have chosen, by removing the 2 or 3-4 socket screws.

· Remove the glazing beads at the same time as the glass panes (6) and (7); Panorama version : first 9 Top/Bottom, then 8 Top/ Left and Bottom/Left then Top/Right and Bottom/Right. Corner version : first 9 Top/Bottom then 8 Top/Bottom Left or Right. Front version : 9 Top/Bottom.

· Take the packed components out of the appliance and check them for damage or breakage.

· Take the appliance off the pallet and lay the appliance on its back.

· Fix the adjustable legs (23) to the bottom of the appliance. Saw and adjust the legs to the required height, taking account of the minimum height given on Page 13 diag. 2, 3 and 4.

· Set the appliance onto the legs and position it in the space where it is to be fitted.

NB: Leave a space ( 3 mm ) around the appliance in order to fit the frame in a later phase, particu larly on the plateau and the sides. Any plasterwork must be taken into account when installing the Front version. Please also refer to the detailed drawing on Page 17 for the positioning of the mantle iron.

1= Mantle iron 3= Top plate convection casing 2= Felt 4= Brickwork Now determine the position and assembly of the convector set and the concentric ducts with accessories. Refer to Section 5 “Concentric duct system” for this purpose.

· Fit the control box (14) into the space where it is to be built-in.

NB ! The distance between the control box and the appliance depends on the lengths of the wires mounted from the control box to the pilot light burner. The maximum length of these is 1000 mm. (Also see Page 13 diag. 5)

Page.8

· Connection to the gas main (See Page 12 diag. 1-14B ). Make sure that the regulating equipment does not become twisted during connection and that no unnecessary tension develops. Ensure the accessibility of the connecting points for the various components. Check the gas tightness of the connections after they have been made. Connect the pilot light pipe and the thermocouple [(J) and (K) respectively] to the gas block (A), taking into account the maximum fixed length of the wires for the thermocouple and spark ca ble. (See Page 14, diag. 6-A). The spark cable (G) still has to be connected to the spark plug of the pilot light burner. NB. The spark cable has to be connected to the spark plug in such a way that there is no spark-over to iron parts anywhere else than on the pilot light burner. Connect the flexible gas pipe to the radiator coupling in the control box. ( See Page 12 diag. 1-14C) and then to the ø 8 mm copper pipe on the bottom of the appli ance beside the burner tray ( See Page 12 diag. 1-4) with the compression coupling already fitted. Ensure that the gas pipe is free of dirt and sand.

· Fit the restriction sheet. ( See Page 14 diag. 7 ) NB. The fitting of a restriction sheet depends on the duct situation and so you should first read Section 5 “Concentric duct system” on Page 8.

· Mixing the incandescent granules and incandescent material ( See Page 15 ). Open both bags and put their contents into the A4 grip-seal bag (containing these instructions ). Shake to mix thoroughly. Scatter the entire contents over the burner (2) and the bottom of the combustion chamber, distributing it equally over the surfaces. Ensure that the injection units of the burner are free of incandescent material. ( See Page 15-A )

· Position the log set as shown on Page 15. Do this with care, since soot may be formed if the log set is wrongly positioned.

· You finally position and fit the glass, the glazing beads and the front in the reverse order as to how you dismantled them.

5.0 Concentric duct system

The concentric duct system consists of an inner duct of 100 mm in diameter and an outer duct of 150 mm in diameter. These ducts are concentrically arranged. The combustion gases are extracted via the inner duct, while fresh air for combustion flows in via the space between the inner and outer ducts. The concentric duct system enables various connections.

Through the roof and through the external wall. The route for this system can be laid out in various ways, but there are several important conditions.

· The total permitted vertical duct length is a maximum of 12 metres (the sum of the duct length and the ef-

fective lengths of the bends).

· The horizontal duct length for a roof outlet must not exceed 5 metres, measured between bends, unless otherwise stated.

· 90° bends have an effective length of 2 metres.

· 45° bends have an effective length of 1 metre.

· The outlet can be placed at any arbitrary position on the roof surface or external wall (inlet and outlet in

identical pressure areas) but must satisfy current regulations.

Adjustable roof plate

Connection options for concentric duct system

· Indirect wall feed-through (See Page 14 Diag. 8 & 9 ).

Always place a length of X=1 metre vertically onto the appliance, immediately followed by a 90° bend and an external horizontal terminal set of Y (min.) length. If required, the horizontal section can be extended to 2 metres plus horizontal terminal (Y max.). See diag. 9.

· Roof feed-through without slope ( see Page 16 diag. 10 ).

A direct route without slopes is possible, up to a maximum length of X=12 metres (excluding vertical ter minal), measured from the connection to the fire. The minimum length is 2 metres. The outlet may occupy any position on the roof surface (either flat or sloping); the flue and combustion air inlet are located in the same pressure area. A restriction sheet iron ( See Page 14 diag. 7 ) must be fitted for lengths of 3 metres and longer for all types of gas.

· Roof feed-through with 45° slope ( see Page 16 diag. 11 ).

Always fit a length of X=1 metre vertically onto the appliance. After this, the route can be continued with two 45° bends (effective length per bend, 1 metre), until the maximum pipe length of 12 metres is reached (including bends, but excluding vertical terminal). The minimum length is 3 metres. The outlet may oc cupy any position on the roof surface (either flat or sloping); the flue and combustion air inlet are located in the same pressure area. A restriction sheet iron ( See Page 14 diag. 7 ) must be fitted for lengths of 3 metres and longer for all types of gas.

· Roof feed-through with 90° slope ( see Page 16 fig. 12 ).

Always fit a length of X=1 metre vertically onto the appliance. After this, the route can be continued with two 90° bends (effective length per bend, 2 metres), until the maximum pipe length of 12 metres is reached (including bends, but excluding vertical terminal). The minimum length is 5 metres. The outlet may occupy any position on the roof surface (either flat or sloping); the flue and combustion air inlet are located in the same pressure area. Take account of the fact that the horizontal section of pipe must not ex ceed Y=2 metres (measured between bends) and also ensure there is sufficient slope. A restriction sheet iron ( See Page 14 diag. 7 ) must be fitted for lengths of 3 metres and longer for all types of gas.

Structure of concentric duct system

Installation of indirect horizontal feed-through

· The outlet can also be constructed in the outer wall in a situation with upwards discharge (always 1 metre

vertical first). Possible nuisance to the neighbourhood must be taken into account. The Buildings Decree contains the relevant regulations. In addition, ensure that the wind pressure on the outlet is not excessive (e.g. in extremely narrow alleyways), since this can affect the performance of the fire.

Page.10

· Create an opening of 155 mm. in diameter in the outer wall (in a flammable external wall, provide for 50 mm. extra space all round the outer pipe) and mount the horizontal terminal with the wall plate on the in side of the wall. On the outside, the wall plate of the horizontal terminal must be sealed sufficiently to the wall to prevent the possibility of damp and/or flue gases entering the living space.

· If necessary, the duct can be enclosed in a pipe. Adequate fire resistant measures must also be taken if the duct is to be mounted against flammable materials.

· Determine the position of the fire and the outlet and start construction of the duct with the connection to the fire. Note the direction of mounting (black sealing rings facing upward), and connect the elements to gether by means of the locking bands.

· Fit a 90° bend directly to the horizontal terminal and make the connection with the elements on the appli ance. Ensure that all connections are fully gastight.

· A fitted sleeve can be used between bends or for the connection to the fire. Use wall brackets to support the duct, if necessary.

Installation of the vertical terminal

· The outlet can be placed at any arbitrary position on the roof surface (inlet and outlet in identical pressure

areas) but must comply with the current regulations.

· Use a flat roof panel for flat roofs, or a lead roof panel for sloping tiled roofs to ensure a watertight feed through. This can be sloped with the aid of various bends, if necessary. The opening in the roof decking must be 5 cm. larger all round to ensure sufficient fire resistance. Adjust able roof plates can also be used against the roof decking.

· The regulations in the Buildings Decree state that NEN 6068 (determination of the resistance to fire pene tration between rooms) must be taken into account. An enclosing pipe of fireproof material (e.g. 12 mm. Promatect fire resistant sheet) must be used as from a distance of 25 mm. from the outer duct.

· Determine the position of the fire and the outlet and start the construction of the duct with the connection to the fire (always 1 metre vertical first). Note the direction of mounting (black sealing rings facing up ward), and connect the elements together by means of the locking bands. Ensure that all connections are completely gastight.

· A fitted sleeve can be used between bends or for the connection to the fire. Use 2 wall brackets on each storey to support the duct.

Important tips for heating with gas-fired or wood-fired stoves and fireplaces.

Prevent discolouration of walls and ceilings!

There are always dust particles in the air in every living space, even if it is regularly vacuumed! These particles are clearly visible in rays of sunlight and they will not bother you as long as the concentration of particles in the air remains low. The indoor climate can only be described as bad if these particles are floating through the room in larger quantities for any reason whatsoever and, above all, if the air is additionally polluted by soot and tar particles caused by the burning of candles or oil lamps for example, and by smoking cigarettes or cigars! In a heated living space, cooled air slowly streams across the floor to the combustion appliance. This air is heated in the convection system of the stove or fire, causing a fast-rising column of warm air to develop, which then spreads throughout the room again. As a consequence, this air always contains dust and other pollutant particles that will leave deposits on cold and often damp surfaces. This is potentially a particular problem in new buildings that are not yet dry (construction moisture). An unwelcome result of this phenomenon could be discolouration of walls and/or ceilings!

How can you prevent these problems?

If the gas-fired or wood-fired appliance is fitted with insulated covering, one of the following materials should only be used:

 Loose white insulation wool (heat resistant to 1000°C)  Rocktherm 180.012 insulation wool (700°C) from Rockwool, or the equivalent  Other mineral insulation wool without binding agents (synthetic resins) or water-repellent substances (mineral oils).

Wait at least 6 weeks before firing a newly-bricked chimney or after renovations, since the construction moisture must have disappeared completely from walls, floor and ceiling. The room where the appliance is located must be well-ventilated and the required ventilation must be in compliance with the stipulations of the local Buildings Decree. Use candles and oil lamps as little as possible and keep the wicks as short as possible. These two “atmospherics” provide considerable quantities of pollutant and unhealthy soot particles in your home. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars contains tarry substances which will also leave deposits on colder and damp walls when heated. If the interior climate is bad, this phenomenon may also occur above radiators and lighting fixtures and at ventilation grilles, although to a lesser degree.
