7.1 Fir

eplace size

The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 4.

7.2 Fir

eplace flue pull.

Visually inspect the flue for any obstruction, and that a smooth transition from the
fireplace opening into the flue is available. Close all doors and windows in the room in
which the appliance is to be installed. After confirming with a match that smoke is
drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet and check that there is a definite flow
through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke exits from one terminal only and that the
termination is suitable. Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs
of escaping smoke indicating a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the
flue for a few minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow
the flue may need remedial work – Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite

flow through the flue.

IMPORTANT
Before continuing with the
installation of this gas fire the
aeration setting on the burner
must be checked. This is
factory set. See section 12.1

8. BURNER AND SUPPLY PIPE INSTALLATION

A nut and olive is provided for an 8mm-pipe inlet connection directly to the gas control.
The inlet ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a connection from any direction. The
inlet ‘T’ connector includes a valve for isolating the gas supply. Note that the centre of
the appliance inlet ‘T’ connector is 25mm above the fireplace floor. The inlet ‘T’
connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.

The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used. Connect the
supply line to the appliance.
Turn on the gas supply and pressure check the installation pipework for gas soundness.
In the United Kingdom (GB) check in accordance with the current edition of BS 6891.
In the Republic of Ireland check in accordance with the current edition of IS 813
“Domestic Gas Installations”.

8.1 Preliminary burner checks.

Some burner operations can be checked at this stage. Checking now will mean that less
disassembly will be required if any problems are found. A full check should still be

made, however, after final installation.

8.1.1 Lighting the fire

If closed

, open the isolating inlet ‘T’ connector. Depress the control knob and rotate it

anticlockwise to the pilot ignition position. A ‘click’ will be heard as the integral piezo
operates. A spark should be seen between the electrode and pilot tip. Turn the control
knob clockwise to the ‘Off’ position. Repeat this operation until a flame appears at the
pilot. There may be a delay before the pilot lights due to air being purged from the
system. When a flame appears at the pilot keep the control knob depressed and hold the
pilot ignition position for five seconds. When the control knob is released the pilot
flame should remain lit.

Page 14

INSTALLER GUIDE

8.1.2 Operating the burner.

When the pilot burner is operating properly, gradually turn the control knob anti­clockwise to ‘HIGH’ (Depress the knob slightly to get past the pilot ignition position).
The main burner should now light. Depress the control knob slightly to release from the
‘HIGH’ position and turn back (clockwise) to ‘LOW’. While turning, the burner flames
should gradually become lower but remain alight. Depress the control knob slightly to
release from the ‘LOW’ position and turn back (clockwise) to the Pilot ignition position.
The main burner should extinguish but the pilot should remain alight. Depress the
control knob slightly and turn back (clockwise) to turn OFF.
This will extinguish the pilot.

8.1.3 Checking the inlet pressure.

The appliance is pre-set to give the correct heat
input at the inlet pressure shown in section 3 of
this manual. No adjustment is necessary.

1. Check the inlet pressure by fitting a pressure
gauge at the test point. The test point is on the
inlet ‘T’ connector. See figure 8. Check the
pressure with the appliance alight and set at
maximum output.

2. After checking, turn off the appliance.
Remove the pressure gauge and replace the test
point sealing screw.

3. Relight the appliance. Turn to the maximum
output position and test around the sealing
screw for gas soundness with a suitable leak
detection fluid.

11. FULL OPERATING CHECKS

11.1 Spillage check.



A spillage check must be made before leaving the installed appliance with the
customer. Make this with all the ceramic fuel effect pieces are in position. (See figure
26 )



Close all doors and windows in the room containing the appliance. Light the
appliance and set the control to the ‘HIGH’ position. Leave the appliance on for five
minutes. See lighting instructions within section 5 of this guide.



Insert the smoke match at least 50mm away
from the side of the fireplace opening and not
more than 50mm from the top of the opening.
The end of the smoke match should be level
with the front face of the fireplace opening.



The installation is satisfactory if the smoke
is drawn into the fireplace opening. If the smoke
is not drawn into the fireplace opening, leave the
appliance alight at the maximum setting for a
further ten minutes and then repeat the test. If
smoke is still not drawn into the appliance

disconnect the appliance and seek expert
advice.



If the above test is satisfactory, open all
internal connecting doors, hatches, etc. in the
room. Keep all doors and windows that open to the outside of the building closed.
Switch on any extractor fan installed in the same room as the appliance or a connecting
room. Open all doors and other openings between the fan and the appliance. Recheck
for spillage as above. If the smoke is drawn into the appliance, continue with the
installation. If the test is not satisfactory, disconnect the appliance and advise the

customer of the cause of failure.

11.2 Flame Supervision & Spillage Monitoring System

The pilot unit incorporates a system that will automatically shut off the gas supply if the

Page 22

INSTALLER GUIDE

Figure 26. Spillage check

pilot flame goes out or if there is insufficient oxygen due to spillage or lack of
ventilation.
Check that the system operates properly as follows;



Light the appliance. Set at the “HIGH” position and leave for one minute.



Turn back to “OFF” to extinguish the pilot. Note the time when the pilot goes out.
Listen for a snap sound at the gas tap. Note the time when the sound is heard. An
electromagnetic valve shutting off the gas supply through the tap causes this sound. The
valve is located in the body of the tap. The valve should operate within 60 seconds of
the pilot going out. If the valve does not operate within this time limit do not allow the
appliance to be used until the fault has been corrected.

This monitoring system must not be adjusted, bypassed or put out of operation.
This monitoring system, or any of its parts, must only be exchanged using Baxi
fires division authorised parts.

11.3 Final commissioning



Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.



Hand this guide to the customer.



Stress that no extra coals must be added over and above those supplied with the
appliance and that any replacements must only be authorised spares. Warn that
ignoring this advice could cause incomplete clearance of the products of combustion
with consequent health hazards.



Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Point out that lighting instruction
details are contained within the user’s instructions.



Explain that this appliance is fitted with an atmosphere-sensing device, ODS pilot
unit that will automatically shut off the supply of gas to the fire if, for any reason, the
flames go out. It will also shut off the gas supply if the flue is blocked or if there is not
enough ventilation. If this device does operate or if the fire is turned off accidentally or
intentionally, always wait three minutes before attempting to relight.



Advise the customer that the fire front and ceramic pieces can be cleaned as
described in the user’s instructions and that the ceramic pieces must be replaced as
described in those instructions.



Recommend that the appliance should be serviced and the chimney inspected by a
competent person at least annually.

INSTALLER GUIDE

12. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT

Always turn off the gas supply before commencing any servicing (The appliance
inlet ‘T’ connector incorporates an isolating valve).
It is recommended that, at least once a year, the appliance is disconnected and the
fireplace opening checked and cleared of any debris.
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials
may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is
important to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of
dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF
articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that
you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and
around the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles
we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a
heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as
“hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the
disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling
these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not
smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before
eating or drinking.



Check that the appliance is clean and that soot or debris is not blocking the gaps
between the ceramic fuel effect pieces causing an imperfect flame.



Check that soot or debris is not impairing the electrode spark or pilot burner.



Check that soot or debris is not blocking any of the slots in the main burner.


