We hope you really enjoy the warmth of your new gas fire Read these instructions carefully before installing and using the gas fire. Keep these instructions in a safe place. Always provide the following information if the gas fire breaks down: model and serial number, which can be found on the unit. Your purchase invoice is your proof of warranty.
1. General
Check the unit immediately after delivery to confirm that it has not been damaged during transport. If it is damaged in any way, please inform your supplier immediately and provide as many details as possible.
Attention
The unit must be installed, connected and checked by a qualified fitter based on national, regional, and local standards and regulations. The fitter must inspect the unit for tightness in relation to gas and combustion products and correct operation of the different components and functions. The flue tube system and the outlets in the outer wall or roof face must also meet the requirements of the applicable regulations. The unit falls in the closed unit category, in a set-up location without a fan and with a chimney loss that is greater than 17 % (non-condensing).
Warning
Gas fires become hot when in use. After installation of the Gas fire, the glass surface must be considered as active zone. The glass surface may be very hot.!
Therefore care should be taken, for example, by keeping children and those requiring help away from the immediate vicinity of burning fires. Gas fires must not be placed on or against flammable materials
(curtains, etc.).

2. SAFETY OF THE UNIT
The unit is fully safeguarded by means of thermo-electric pilot light protection to prevent unforeseen dis-
charge of gas from the main burner.
2.1 Safety
Do not place ceramic burner decoration material or logs against the pilot burner. Ensure the pilot light is
able to burn freely over the main burner at all times. Good ignition of the main burner is only guaranteed if this is the case. Not adhering to these instructions can lead to dangerous situations.
The unit, complete concentric flue system and flue terminal need to be cleaned and checked annually by a
recognised gas technician/fitter, so the unit continues to operate safely. For additional instructions, see Chapter 10: Maintenance.
If, for whatever reason, the pilot light extinguishes, you must wait 5 minutes before igniting the pilot light
again.
The unit may not be operated without the glass panel being in place.
It is not permitted to place flammable materials on the ceramic wood inset.
The layout of the main burner with ceramic burner decoration material and wood inset may under no cir-
cumstances be changed or added to.
Light flammable materials, such as nylon clothing or flammable liquids, may not be placed near the unit. Ensure children and other persons unaware of the operation of a gas unit, are supervised at all times when near the unit.
Use a fireguard to protect against burns and protection of the children and persons named above.

block, into the “O” position, in order to save battery life.
* In this case, it is also recommended you close the gas shut-off cock in the supply line. Breakdowns: * If the signals from the manual transmitter are not received adequately by the receiver, this may be caused
by:
1. Flat batteries: replace the batteries.
2. An electronic problem: can be solved by pressing the “RESET” key on the receiver.
3. Contact your fitter if the unit regularly turns off.
Important: If, for whatever reason, the pilot light extinguishes, you must wait 5 minutes before igniting the pilot light again.
3.10 Inserting and replacing the batteries * The batteries of the manual transmitter and receiver have a life span of approximately one year. The use of
alkaline batteries is recommended. * The batteries need to be replaced when the following occur:
1. Manual transmitter: BATT appears on the display.
2. Receiver: long sound signals can be heard during the ignition.
1. Manual transmitter: * Open the small lid on the back. * Carefully remove the 9V block battery and loosen the battery from the contact holder. Do not pull the
wires! * Connect the new battery and place it back into the transmitter. Close the lid.
2. Receiver: * Carefully remove the entire receiver from the holder. * Slide the small lid open. * Remove the batteries from the battery holder. * Place 4 new 1.5V batteries (type LR6 or AA) in the battery holder in the indicated manner. The spring
always needs to be against the minus (-) pole of the battery. * Close the lid and place the receiver back into the holder.
Incorrect placing of the batteries can irreparably damage the electronics or power. Only replace the batteries when the unit is completely turned off.
Important
Only remove batteries using non-metallic tools.
Removing batteries with a metal object may damage the electronic control permanently.

5. INITIAL START-UP The unit has a layer of heat-resistant varnish that resists very high temperatures. An unpleasant smell may develop in the first hours after starting the unit due to burning in of the varnish; however, this is not dangerous.
To accelerate this process, allow the unit to burn at the highest setting for several hours and ventilate the area well. After the first time the unit is turned on, a light deposit may form on the inside of the window. This is
due to the varnish hardening. After the fireplace has cooled down, this deposit can be removed using a fireplace glass cleaner or ceramic hotplate cleaner.
5.1 Daily maintenance * Avoid having a lot of dust and cigarette smoke, candle and oil lamp particles in the air of your home.
Heating of these particles through the convection system of the unit, can lead to discolouring of walls and
ceilings. It is therefore advisable to ensure the area containing the unit is always sufficiently ventilated.
Regularly remove any dust that has settled behind the operating lid with a vacuum cleaner.
If the glass is broken or cracked, it should be replaced immediately by a recognised fitter before the unit is used again.
* The unit must be switched off immediately if something is spilt on it. It should only be cleaned once the
unit has cooled down. Never use abrasive, aggressive cleaning products or fireplace cleaner; only use a dry
cloth that does not give off fluff. * Your local specialised dealer will be able to provide you with spray cans containing heat-resistant varnish,
so that small stains or damages may be touched-up during annual maintenance.
5.2 Important tips for gas heating or wood fuelled units and fireplaces.
Prevent discolouration of walls and ceilings!
There are always particles in the air in each living area even if the area is vacuum cleaned regularly!
These particles are easily visible when the sun streams in. This issue will not arise if the amount of
particles in the air is limited. If these particles are present in greater quantities and particularly if the air is
contaminated by soot and tar particles, for example, through the burning of candles or oil lamps and
cigarette or cigar smoke, then we can speak of a poor inner climate! Cooled air slowly flows over the floor
to the heater in a heated living area. This air is heated in the convection system of the fireplace or heater,
resulting in a quickly rising column of air that subsequently spreads through the room again. This means
there is always dust and other polluting particles depositing on cold and often damp surfaces. This issue
occurs especially in a new building (building damp) that is not yet dry. An undesirable consequence of this
phenomenon could be discolouration of walls and or ceiling!
How can this problem be avoided?
* With a newly built fireplace or following renovation, wait at least 6 weeks before firing up. * The building damp must have disappeared completely from the walls, floor and ceiling. * The room where the unit is located must be well ventilated. * The required air ventilation must be in line with local building regulations. * Limit the use of candles and oil lamps and keep the taper as short as possible. * These two creators of atmosphere ensure considerable quantities of polluting and unhealthy soot particles
in your flat. * Among other things, cigarettes and cigars contain tar that will precipitate on cold and damp walls during
heating. * This may occur above radiators and light fittings and with ventilation grilles (if there is a poor internal
climate), although to a lesser degree.

6. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6.1 General instructions
* The gas fireplace must be installed, connected and inspected as a closed unit by a qualified fitter, according
to national, regional, and local standards and regulations.
* The flue tube system and the outlets in the outer wall or roof face must also meet the requirements outlined
in the applicable standards and regulations.
* The temperature of the walls and shelves near the side and back of the unit may not be more than 80°C
higher than the temperature of the environment.
* The unit has been approved in combination with the THC CC and US concentric flue system Ø100/Ø150
mm or Ø130/Ø200 mm, in accordance with European CE standards for gas units, and may therefore only be applied with this system.
* The unit needs to be inspected by the fitter for local gas distribution (gas type and gas pressure) as indicated
on the identification plate.
* The instructions are only applicable if the relevant country code is stated on the unit. If this is not the case,
the gas technical information for the relevant country needs to be consulted and modifications discussed
with the manufacturer. * There will be air in the gas pipes when the unit is first used. The gas pipes therefore need to be vented first. * Ignite the heater according to operating instructions and check whether the burner flame is uniform. After
the unit has been used for the first time, you should remove any deposits resulting from convection-curing
of the unit, from the glass window using a glass cleaner for heaters.
Warning: Never install the unit against or within a flammable wall!
Distance to flammable materials:
* With respect to the front, side and top of the unit, a distance of 1000 mm needs to be kept between the unit
and: curtains, floor covering, upholstery and fabrics, and/or other flammable material unless stated
otherwise in these instructions.
Distance to non-flammable materials:
* The unit needs to be placed a minimum distance of 25 mm from the wall unless stated otherwise in these
instructions.
Important * Construction material for fireplaces and mantles etc., or for an assembly must be made of non-flammable
material. This also applies to floors and ceilings. Never use flammable materials near the unit in
compliance with the abovementioned instructions.
Note: Please contact your supplier if you are unsure.
Important
The installation may only be performed
by an authorised person

7. CONCENTRIC FLUE SYSTEM CC The concentric flue system consists of a 100mm or 130mm Ø inner flue concentric with a 150 mm or 200 mm Ø
outer flue. These flues have been set up concentrically; the combustion gases are exhausted through the internal flue while the fresh combustion air is supplied between the internal and external flues.
7.1 Components of the concentric flue system. (See page 29,30 and 31) Different connections are possible using the concentric flue system. These are: Through the roof face and through the exterior wall.
There are various options for mounting the pathway for this system,
however, there are a few important requirements/conditions:
* The maximum allowable vertical flue length is 12 metres (the sum of the flue length and the calculation
lengths for the bends). * 90° bends have a 2-metre horizontal calculation length. * 45° bends have a 1-metre horizontal calculation length. * The outlet can be installed at any point on the roof face or exterior wall (supply and discharge in an identical
pressure area), but must meet applicable regulations. * Duct pathways may not be insulated
Important * Ensure the restriction plate is mounted in the correct manner, as indicated in these instructions.
* The correct restriction plate will provide the unit with the most optimal efficiency, flame image and
combustion. * Mounting an incorrectly placed restriction plate may cause malfunction of the unit.
7.2 Construction of concentric flue system CC Indirect wall connection.
* The outlet may also be installed above the exhaust in the wall, taking any hindrance to the surrounding area
into consideration, according to national, regional, local standards and regulations. Ensure wind pressure on
the flue terminal is not too extreme, such as a balcony, flat roof, corners and in small alleys etc., as this may
negatively influence the unit efficiency. * Provide a recess in the exterior wall of around 155 mm for concentric 100-150, and 205 mm for concentric
130-200. (in a flammable wall ensure there is 50 mm of extra space around the outer pipe and use
fireproof casing) and fix the exterior wall duct with the wall plate to the outer side of the wall. The wall
plate of the exterior wall duct must be sealed sufficiently against the wall on the outside, to avoid moisture
and/or flue gas leaks into the living space. * The flue should be cased if necessary. Sufficient fireproof measures must also be taken when the flue is
being mounted along flammable materials. * Determine the position of the unit and outlet and begin construction of the flue with the connection on the
unit, paying attention to the direction of installation and connecting the elements by means of clamp strips. * The fitted pipe can be used between the bends or when connecting to the unit.
If necessary, use wall brackets to support the flue
Mounting using the roof pass-through option
* The flue terminal can be located at any random place on the roof face (supply and exhaust in identical
pressure areas) and must meet the applicable rules and regulations. * A roofing sheet for a flat roof or a roofing sheet lead for sloping tiled roofs can be used for a watertight duct.
Use various bends for the slope, if required. The recess in the roof decking should be 5 cm larger all
around, to ensure sufficient fire resistance.
* One needs to take into account the regulation regarding fire resistance between rooms (See national,
regional, local standards and regulations). A casing made of fireproof material (e.g. 12 mm Promatect fire
resistant plate) must be used at 25mm from the outside duct. * Determine the position of the unit and outlet and begin construction of the flue with the connection on the
unit (always 1 metre vertical first), paying attention to the direction of installation! The inner flue must be
installed for draining purposes. Connect the elements by using clamping strips. Ensure the gas tightness of
all connections is correct. * A fitted pipe can be used between the bends or when making the connection to the unit and/or the roof pass-

7.3 Installation instructions regarding existing flues. Instructions
The flue gas exhaust system falls within category C91 and must be built in accordance with national rules and regulations and the instructions of the manufacturer, as specified in the documentation and installation instructions. This means, among other things, that the chimney pass-through must not be smaller than 150 mm round / square, but no larger than 200 mm, and not ventilated by grilles etc. In the case of larger chimney pass-throughs, a flexible hose of around 150 mm may possibly be used in combination with a flexible hose of around 100 mm, as described below. For other situations, you should consult your supplier / manufacturer.

8. Instructions for the Mertik Maxitrol GV60 and the Remote Control:
Ensure that the fuel supplied to the unit is clean and free from particles and moisture.
Before a gas supply pipe (new or existing) is connected to the main gas pipe at the gas meter and to the gas control block of the unit, clean and dry compressed air should been blown through it. Cut copper pipes as well as aluminium pilot pipes must be deburred and blown clean before they are connected. The dust filter at the connection to the gas control block will only filter out the coarsest dirt from the system. Fine particles are still able to reach the inside and may damage and/or adversely affect regulation in the gas control block .
Heat, moisture and dust are a threat to all electronic components
Protect the electronic gas control until all construction, plastering and paintwork has been completed. If such work cannot be avoided, then protect the control against dirt and moisture penetration by using, for example, plastic film .
Warning Electronic components will become permanently faulty when exposed to temperatures higher than 60°C. Standard AA batteries will crack open at temperatures >54°C and the battery contents will damage the electronic switches located underneath. Batteries last longest at <25°C. At >50°C the life span is around 23 weeks, this makes the use of the gas fire unnecessarily expensive.
Only install the gas control block and receiver as pre-installed at the factory Remember that components may have to be replaced or that repairs may have to be performed at a later date. This may be more difficult if the control is installed using a method that is different from the instructions provided here.
Please note! Only place the batteries after wiring to the receiver, gas control block and pilot set is connected.
Premature connection to the energy source may damage the control’s CPU (central processor).
Ensure that the ignition cable is not near the antenna wire and that they do not cross each other.
The high voltage released at ignition may damage the sensitive receiver circuit. This may mean that the unit becomes less responsive or not responsive at all to handset commands. (See photograph 1 on page 16)
If the manual transmitter range is too limited, loosen the antenna wire from the terminals on the receiver box. Direct the antenna wire away from the ignition cable and in the direction of the control
box door. Ensure there is no contact with metal components. Ensure there is no damage to the connection to electronic components or to the wire itself. (See photograph 1 on page 16)
Connect the wires correctly to the contact breaker behind the gas control block.
The shortest wire runs immediately back to the 1/0 switch and can be found nearest to the back of the gas control block. The longest wire runs to one of the two connections on the receiver box and only fits on one of the screws .
Do not tighten the contact breaker and the thermocouple connection too tightly on the gas control block or to each other.
It is sufficient to tighten by hand and add a half a turn with an open-end spanner. Tightening too much will break the connection to the magnetic coil below and/or the insulation around the aluminium contact pin in the contact breaker. This may lead to the magnetic coil not opening the gas supply to the pilot and the unit not working.
Page 16
Page 16
Do not extend the thermocouple supplied to the pilot set
Extending the thermocouple beyond its limit will lead to a reduction in voltage. This may, in turn, lead to the magnetic coil not being activated.
Do not extend the thermocouple supplied to the pilot set
Extending the thermocouple beyond its limit will lead to a reduction in voltage. This may, in turn, lead to the magnetic coil not being activated.
The receiver and the control units on the gas control block should be switched on to ensure automatic start-up through the manual transmitter.
The oval disk on the gas control block should be turned to the ON position. The 1/0 switch should be set to
1. See photograph 2. The ignition cable should be connected to the SPARK connection point on the receiver box. See photograph 1.
The manual transmitter has to communicate with the receiver. This has to be ‘learnt’.
Press the RESET button using a blunt object. (See photograph 3.) Continue to press this button until you hear a short beeping sound, followed immediately by a long beeping signal. Release the button. Direct the manual transmitter towards the receiver and press the arrow down until you hear a long beeping sound. The gas control button will now move for a short period. The manual transmitter has now learned the setting with regard to the receiver and the unit can now be ignited using the remote control. If the manual transmitter is still not communicating with the receiver, repeat the procedure again.
The system’s thermostat sensor is in the manual transmitter.
The manual transmitter operates best at a distance of 2 or 3 metres from the unit. Although communication occurs via short wave radio signals, it is recommended to place the hand transmitter in view of the gas apparatus in a place where the user wishes to experience a pleasant temperature. Do not place the manual transmitter in direct sunlight or other warm location. The thermostat measures the temperature and regulates the flame size of the gas unit accordingly.
Remove the batteries only with the red ribbon underneath the batteries, not with a metal tool
Removing batteries with a metal object may damage the electronic control permanently.

11. PLACING THE UNIT (first read “General instructions”)
Please note: Before placing the unit, we recommend you first read Chapter 7
“Concentric flue system” on page 11.
11.1 Connection to the gas pipes (see page 25 for details) You can determine where the gas pipes will be placed, dependent on the layout. Ensure control equipment is not
twisted during installation and there is no excessive tension. Accessibility of various connection points in relation to components need to be maintained. After installation, check the connections for tightness in relation to gas.
Use a 1/2“ gas tap with connection. Ensure the gas pipes are dirt-free and sand-free, and gas and combustion products from various parts and functioning is correct. The gas connection should only be
undertaken when the electricity supply is disconnected. This prevents any damage occurring to the gas control equipment.
11.2 Preparation and installation of the unit (see also pages 30 + 32 + 33)
Remove the packaging and check the unit for possible damage. Please note: place the unit on a stable surface. Do not place the unit on its back or on its side! Place the unit at the installation location The 2 front main windows should now be removed in order to take the additional parts out of the unit.
The side window(s) can remain in place.
Loosen the screws of the lower and upper quadrants. Remove the glass strip gently from his seat possibly with a screwdriver.
See example on Page.31 Figure B and C
Next, take the packaged components out of the unit and check to make sure they are not damaged or
broken.
Situate the unit (see page 32 figures H, I and J as an example of an installation location) in your chosen
installation location . At the rear and the sides, the unit must have at least 25 mm clearance from fireproof built-in materials. Install the supplied convection grilles at least 50 cm below the ceiling (see page 30 figures 3/4/5 C) on the appropriate wall. A lowered ceiling inside the whole structure could be a possible solution in the event of a situation with a visual obstruction.
The legs (page 31, figure F) of the unit can be adjusted for 90 mm, and if necessary shortened, see also
dimensional drawings. The adjustable feet allow fine adjustments (levelling) to be made.
Gas pipe, thermocouple and ignition cables have been placed in coils under the unit. Cut the binders and
CAREFULLY unroll the various lines and cables to the position where the gas control cassette is to be placed.
Fixing to the wall is effected by means of adjustable wall brackets (see figure E page 31) on top of the unit.
Fastening materials are not included.
Now determine the installation and assembly of the CC ducts and accessories. Please refer to Chapter 7.
CONCENTRIC FLUE SYSTEM CC” on Page 11 and “Table of concentric pathways “ on Page 28.
With the supplied suction cup you can remove the windows easily. Take hold of the front window by its sides and move it CAREFULLY upwards, then CAREFULLY and slowly pull the bottom of the window towards you. Next, lower the window and leave it in a safe place where it cannot be broken or damaged. Please note: the window is very fragile. You should therefore be very care­ful when (re)installing the window. See example on Page.31 Figure D
Please note: The distance between the gas cassette / control cabinet and the unit will be determined by the ca­ble / thermocouple / line lengths from the control cabinet to the pilot burner and main burner. The max. distance is approximately 800 mm. (see also page 31 figure G). The pipes, cables and/or couplings etc. should only be connected when the electricity supply is off.

11.3 Fitting the ceramic log set (see page 35 to 38) Attention! Before placing the Ceramic log set.
With use of gas category G25 20-25 mBar (I2L, I2ELL) mount the primary aeration bracket under the burner
setting for a good fire image. method: * Take the Decoration plate and burner out from the unit. * Remove screws from the burner at the venturi. * Mount the aeration bracket with the removed screws on the burner as shown. * Return Burner and decorations back in place.
Please note: when installing the log set and the various glowing materials and accessories, the following must be taken into account:
* Keep the opening between the burner and the burner plate free of glowing material * There should be no glowing material in or on the pilot burner. * Ceramic materials should not come into contact with the cord of the window fixture.
Remove this if necessary. The window may otherwise be damaged.
* Mix the glowing material (lava granules) and the “fusilli” (spiral-shaped ceramic material) and spread them
evenly over the burner and the burner plate so that they are just covered. Glowing embers can be placed here and there as decoration.
NOTE: the remaining material can be discarded. The use of too much glowing material can adversely affect the combustion process.
* Place the ceramic wood blocks in the correct order as shown on Pag. 33 t / m 35. * Place the logs carefully. Other location can seriously affect the flames or malfunction of the burnproces (explode) * Before replacing the window make sure if ther must be a restriction plate to be placed or not. See page 23 and "Table of concentric tracks" on page 28 * If there is a restriction is required for your situation, remove the baffle plate by unscrewing it from the front of the plate after the plate backwards and then out to be taken. Now install the restrictor plate with two screws and replace the baffle plate. * Now place the two windows in reverse order as described on page 23.
MAKE SURE THE PILOT LIGHT REMAINS UNOBSTRUCTED!
Incorrectly installed ceramic wood blocks and glowing material may have a significant influence on the fire image and the burning effect.

13. PROBLEMS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Please first check if all guidelines were followed before attempting to solve any problems with the unit.
Warning:
Solving problems with your unit, whether gas related or electrical, must always be performed by a qualified technician.
SYMPTOM ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The pilot flame will not light after repeated ignition.
1. There is air in the pipes if you switch the unit on for the first time or after a service. It will take a little while until all the air has flowed out of the pipes and gas flows through that can be ignited. Take it away and try to switch the pilot flame on several times in order to allow the air to escape.
2. See whether the gas pipe to the unit is open and if there is sufficient gas pressure to the unit.
3. Check whether there are sparks between the spark electrode and the pilot. If there are no sparks:
a) Check whether the connection between the electrode and the ignition is
broken or faulty. b) Check whether the spark short circuits at another point or jumps. c) Check whether the electrode is broken.
The pilot flame will not remain alight after ignition.
1. Check whether the pilot flame is large enough to burn around the thermocouple. If the flame is too small, you need to check the gas feed pressure. If the size of the pilot flame cannot be adjusted, there may be an obstruction in the pilot.
2. Check whether the thermocouple interrupter is connected to the gas valve properly.
3. Check that the gas valve is not faulty.
4. Check whether the restriction plate has been placed according to instructions (see page 25).
The main burner goes out when the unit is warm.
1. This can be a normal effect of the thermostat.
Check whether the pilot flame is able to heat the thermocouple adequately. If the pilot flame is too small then the gas pipe or the pilot flame adjustment need to be checked.
2. Check whether the restriction plate has been placed according to instructions (see page 25).
Soot deposits on the glass. 1. Check whether the lavasplit is lying on the burner in the correct manner.
2. Check if the pilot burner is free from burner filling.
3. Check whether there is any blockage in the burner openings.
4. Check if the flue tube is functioning correctly and if the flue tube is not hindered or blocked.
5. Check the pipe pressure.
Sharp blue flames that are released by the burner or a pilot that burns too wildly.
1. Check whether the restriction plate has been used.
Weak (stifling) pilot flame. 1. Check the pilot burner pressure or duct pathway.
Main burner will not burn after the pilot burner is functioning.
1. Check if the motor button turns and whether the batteries are empty.
2. Possible defect in the gas block.
3. Check whether the pilot flame ignites the burner well.
4. Check that the burner opening is not blocked.
