installer in accordance with the current GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)

REGULATIONS. The installation must comply with these installation instructions and all

relevant parts of Local and National Building Regulations or Building Standards

(Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations and those relevant recommendations of the

following British Standards.

BS 5871:Part 2. BS 6891. BS 1945. BS5440:Parts1and2.

BS 5482:Part1. IGE/UP/7

1b Eire; This appliance should be installed in accordance with the rules in force. The

installation must be carried out by a Competent Person and installed in accordance with

200646_01

the current edition of I.S.813 ‘Domestic Gas Installations’ and the current Building

Regulations.

In addition to the Standards detailed above the installation must comply with the current

IEE wiring regulations.

2 THE HEARTH.

The appliance must be fitted with a non-combustible hearth having a minimum thickness of

12mm (½"). The hearth must extend at least 300mm (12") in front and a minimum of

150mm (6") either side of any naked flame or incandescent radiant source. The periphery

of the hearth must be at least 50mm (2") above the floor level. (Under BS 5871, Part 2, the

installation of a fender of 50mm (2") high will satisfy this requirement.)

3 It is recommended that decorative frets have a minimum of 30cm

(5 sq. in) of free air

space through the ash pan cover.

4 VENTILATION.

Subject to a satisfactory spillage test, there is no requirement for purpose made ventilation

into the room containing the appliance. (See Section 14)

The products of combustion should not discharge across a boundary.

3. FITTING THE FIREBOX

1 Measure the height of the hearth and make a mark on the wall at the same height.

2 Above the hearth level line, draw a rectangle 405mm (16") wide and 585mm (23") high.

Mark a horizontal line 483mm above hearth level and a vertical line on the centreline of the

fireplace (See figure 2). At this point drill a pilot hole through the cavity wall to the outside.

Cut away the plaster and the inner leaf of the brickwork to expose the outer leaf of the

cavity.

3 Screed the floor of the recess to the level of the hearth to allow accurate fitting of the

firebox.

4 Cut a hole through the cavity wall to accept the flue duct. The centre line for the duct is

483mm (19") above HEARTH level and the hole should measure 125mm x 125mm (See

Figure 2)

5 At this stage it is recommended that the fitting of the fireplace be completed before

proceeding with the installation of the fire but the gas supply must be routed to the

appliance before the fireplace is permanently fixed. The three-core mains cable must be

kept accessible.

6 With the flue spigot fitted, place the firebox into the recess. Mark a line on the flue duct

flush with the position of the outside wall. Depending on whether the fan is to be recessed,

semi-recessed or surface mounted, cut the duct to length as shown on Figure 3.

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

200646_01

7 Push the firebox in to place and seal into the fireplace opening using the double-sided tape

supplied or alternatively a water based mastic sealant.

NOTE: If installing without the fireplace in position when determining the length of flue spigot

required allowance must be made for the depth of infill panel being used.

IMPORTANT: WHERE THE FLUE DUCT PASSES THROUGH A CAVITY WALL, IT IS

RECOMMENDED THAT IT SHOULD BE INSULATED ALL ROUND WITH A MATERIAL

SUCH AS ROCKWOOL. THIS WILL PREVENT ANY EXISTING WALL INSULATION

MATERIAL FROM COMING IN TO CONTACT WITH THE FLUE DUCT. (SEE FIGURE 4)

4. THE GAS SUPPLY.

1. The gas supply should be routed from the meter or cylinder and reduced to 8mm-diameter

pipe as close to the appliance as possible.

2. Route the 8mm pipe into the fire recess and through the knock out at the rear of the

firebox. Care should be taken to sleeve the pipe when passing through masonry.

3. Connect the pipe to the burner at the isolation/pressure test elbow using the nut and olive

provided.

4 When routing the gas supply pipe to the burner unit , soldered fittings must not be used

under the burner tray.

5. INSTALLING THE FAN BOX - RECESSED UNIT

1 Cut a rectangular hole in the external leaf of the brick wall to the dimensions shown in

Figure 5. Use the pilot hole drilled earlier (Para. 3.2) as the centre position of the flue duct.

2 Remove the fan box cover. Remove the 2 lower self tapping screws and loosen the 2 pan

head screws located in the key hole slots (See Figure 6) which hold the fan carrier to the

wall box and lift away the fan carrier assembly, together with it's gasket and place to one

side.

3 Feed the fan cable through the hole in the brickwork and leave a short length of cable

'hanging' in the opening made for the fan unit.

NOTE: CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO DAMAGE THE TWO PLASTIC

CONNECTORS FITTED TO THE CABLE WHEN PULLING THEM THROUGH THE

FIGURE 4

200646_01

HOLE. THESE CONNECTORS ARE FACTORY FITTED AND CANNOT BE RE-

ATTACHED ON SITE. GREAT CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP THE MULTI-

CORE FAN CABLE CLEAR OF ANY

COMPONENTS LIKELY TO BECOME

HOT IN USE.

4 Fit the flue spigot to the fan box

using the three self-tapping screws

provided.

5 Insert the fan box in to the wall as

far as it will go and fix it in to place by

screwing out the 3 bolts (1 in the top, 2 in

the bottom) into the masonry to clamp the

box in position. Using the 3 bolts, adjust

the position of the box so that the fan box

duct surrounds equally on all four sides

the duct of the firebox.

Note: In some cases the 'frog' of the

brick may prevent the clamping bolts from

being able to be tightened fully. In this case the clamping plate supplied should be inserted

in the appropriate position and the clamping bolts tightened on to this.

6 Take the glass fibre rope-sealing gasket and push it into the gap between the flue duct and

the fan box spigot. The gasket can be pushed into the gap using a screwdriver but care

must be taken not to push the gasket in too far. It need only be pushed in to a point where

the edge of the gasket is level with the inner flue duct.

7 Secure the cable gland to its bracket on the fan carrier (See Figure 7) and then connect

the power cable using the 'Molex' snap connectors. Replace the fan carrier and its gasket

into the fan box and secure in place by locating the 'keyhole' slots over the pan head

screws at the rear of the box and using the two lower self tapping screws to secure the

bottom of the carrier in position. Finally tighten the two pan head screws. Any excess cable

should be pushed in to the cavity.

8 Run a bead of mastic around the frame of the wall box to ensure a water tight seal with the

brickwork.

9 Refit the wallbox cover.

6 FITTING THE SURFACE MOUNTING ADAPTER BOX

1 In cases where the fan unit is to be fitted on the surface of an outside wall an adapter box

will have to be fitted. The adapter box should be fitted after the hole for the flue duct has

been made. This will ensure correct alignment between the flue duct and the fan box.

2 Place the adapter box against the wall, ensuring it is correctly aligned with the flue spigot

and mark the position of the four fixing holes on the wall (See Figures 3 & 8) Drill and plug

the wall in the appropriate positions. Remove the four M5 screws at the rear of the box and

retain for use later.

FIGURE 6

FIGURE 5

200646_01

NOTE: ON BOTH RECESSED AND SURFACE MOUNTED FAN UNITS THE FAN COVER

ALSO ACTS AS THE TERMINAL GUARD AND IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FIT ANY

ADDITIONAL GUARD.

3 Cut a slit in the grommet at the rear of the box and feed through the power cable, ensuring

that the connecting plugs are protected against damage.

4 Place the adapter box against the wall and screw into position.

5 Remove the front cover from the fan unit and withdraw the inner fan chassis, as previously

described. Remove the four blanking plugs from the rear of the fan box and discard.

6 Cut a slit in the grommet at the rear of the fan unit (not the side grommet) and feed

through the power cable. Push the fan unit into the adapter unit and secure in place using

the four M5 screws provided.

7 Fit the gasket, connect the power cable and refit the fan chassis as previously described.

8 Seal the edges where the two boxes meet with silicon mastic.

7 FITTING THE SEMI-RECESSED FAN SPACER

1 In cases where there is insufficient room to

recess the fan unit into the wall the fan spacer will

have to be fitted. This spacer mounts the fan partially

out of the wall so that the spigot does not protrude

into the cavity.

2 Place the spacer against the wall, ensuring it is

correctly aligned with the flue duct and mark the

position of the four fixing holes on the wall (See

Figure

) Drill and plug the wall at these positions.

Check that the spacer is the correct way up and fix it

to the wall. The spacer is the correct way up when

the internal box section with two holes is at the

bottom.

3 Remove the front cover from the fan unit and

withdraw the inner fan chassis, as previously

described. Remove the three large screws from the

top and bottom of the fan box and discard.

4 Cut a slit in the grommet at the rear of the fan unit (not the side grommet) and feed

through the power cable. Push the fan unit into the spacer and secure in place using the

three self-tapping screws and washers screws provided. The self tapping screws should

pass through the bushes from which the large screws were removed.

5 Fit the gasket, connect the power cable and refit the fan chassis as previously described.

6 Seal the edges where the two boxes meet and where the spacer meets the wall with

silicon mastic.

8 ADDITIONAL DUCTING AND BENDS

Additional lengths of ducting and bends are available to use with this product. Sufficient

jointing sleeves and wall brackets are supplied with each length and elbow. These items

are assembled as shown in Figure 8. Up to four metres of ducting together with three

bends may be used.

FIGURE 7

200646_01

9.FITTING THE BURNER UNIT

Check that the ignition system functions correctly. Push in the control valve and operate

the piezo ignition mechanism and check that a spark is generated at the pilot burner. If no

spark is evident, check the connections and the soundness of the leads.

2 Check tightness of nuts at the control-valve end of the thermocouple. CAUTION: Do not

over-tighten.

3 Plug the connector on the solenoids on the underside of the burner unit to the mating plug

on the switch panel of the fire. (See Figure 9)

4 Place the burner tray in position within the firebox. The tabs on either side of the rear of

the burner should be pushed on to the brackets on the firebox and then the burner fixed in

place using the screw in the centre of the fascia panel.

5 Connect the gas supply pipe to the fire using the nut and olive provided. Ensure that the

gas line is purged before connecting the pipe, as any debris left in the pipe will cause the

appliance to malfunction if it enters the controls.

10 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO MAINS SUPPLY

FIGURE 8

FIGURE 9

200646_01

1 The electrical connection to the mains supply may be made via either a fused spur or an

unswitched three-pin socket and plug. The supply must be fitted with a 3A fuse.

2 The appliance is supplied with 2.5 metres of three-core mains cable pre- wired. This

should be routed to the power point as inconspicuously as possible - i.e. chased into the

plaster.

3 The electrical connections to the switches are all pre-wired and the only other connections

required are in the fan box, which are explained in section 5 of these instructions.

11 GAS SOUNDNESS CHECK.

Once the correct operation of the controls has been proved a gas soundness test must be

carried out in accordance with BS 6891

12 TESTING THE OPERATION OF THE FAN

1 The following procedure tests the correct operation of the fan and pressure switch.

2 Connect the electrical mains supply to the appliance, turn on the gas supply and switch on

the fire.

3 From outside, block the flue opening on the fan unit. Initially the fan should be heard to

speed up to try and over come the blockage. After about 5 seconds the fan will switch off.

Remove the blockage, return indoors and check that the fire has gone out. The system

can now be restarted.

13 FITTING THE CERAMIC COMPONENTS

WARNING.

This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF),

which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres along with fibrous glass and mineral

wool. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to

eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when

handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.

CAUTION

All the ceramic components are fragile and should be handled with

care.

1 Fit the ceramic pieces as shown in Figure 10.
