PPrreelliimmiinnaarryyNNootteessBBeeffoorreeIInnssttaallllaattiioonn

This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and con-

vected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic convertor burner

technology.

The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It

must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturers original parts

must be used.

The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the Installation

Requirements.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only used in a suf-

ficiently ventilated space. A minimum of 100cm2 (15.5in2) purpose provided ventilation is

required for this appliance. An openable window or louvre is also required. This appliance is

factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data

plate.

The room size should be a minimum of 27m3(953ft3) to allow adequate circulation of air

and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but

these spaces must not be separated by a door. In order to convert from cubic feet (ft3) to

cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume (in ft3) by 35.3. This appliance is intended as a

secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without some form of

background heating present.

The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. The

appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the

flue products to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe.

The appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with Gas Safety

(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or rules in force. It is strongly recommended that a

CORGI registered engineer is used for this purpose, as they are the only persons approved

by the HSE under the above regulations.

On initial lightup of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the first few hours of

operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from outlet grille, this should be

no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows

and doors open during this period.

Read all these instructions before commencing installation.

IMPORTANT NNOTES

This appliance is a catalytic flueless flame effect gas fire, providing radiant and convected warmth. It is designed

to operate on Natural Gas following factory set adjustments, (see Data Plate on appliance for gas type and pres-

sure).

It is the LAW that all gas appliances and fittings are installed by a competent person (such as a CORGI registered

fitter) and in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, the relevant British

Standards for Installation, Codes of Practice and the Manufacturers' Instructions. The installation shall also be

carried out in accordance with the following regulations:

The Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment, the Building Standards (Scotland)

(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish Development Department.

Relevant British standards insofar as the relevant areas are not covered by these instructions.

Note: For Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to the relevant standards governing installation. (IS 813:

1996)

Failure to comply with these regulations could lead to prosecution and deem the warranty invalid.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only in a sufficiently ventilated

space. A minimum of 100cm2 (15.5 in2) purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance, an openable

window or louvre is also required. To reduce the possibility of draughts entering the room via the air vent, we

recommend the use of "Black Hole" or "Vortex" type vents featuring internal baffles.

It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to the

heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the

air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolour walls.

Consult ALL instructions before installation and use of this appliance.

This appliance is free from any asbestos material.

INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS

If the appliance is to be sited near a disused natural draught flue it is recommended that the old flue should be

partially sealed off to prevent draughts, however some ventilation will be required to prevent condensation.

The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. It is possible to install the appliance onto certain types of com-

bustible materials - see section entitled ‘Clearances to combustible materials’.

In the event that the fire is sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue, any

existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts. The

passageway into the flue should be partially sealed to prevent excessive draughts, however some ventilation

will be required in the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness. Advice should be sought from your

local building control officer.

ROOM SSIZING

The room size should be a minimum of 27m3(e.g. 11’ x 11’ x 8’) to allow adequate circulation of air and

ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not

be separated by a door. To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume in cubic feet

(ft3) by 35.3.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS ((continued)

Clearanccessttonnon-ccombusstibless

Non combustible surfaces are defined as brick, metal, marble, concrete etc. and also a number of man-made

materials impervious to flame. If in doubt refer to the material manufacturer for further information before pro-

ceeding with installation.

Clearances to the sides of the appliance are 100mm (4in). Clearance to the front of the appliance is 500mm

(20in).

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a non-combustible wall, providing the area behind the

appliance is flat and does not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance.

A non combustible shelf of any depth may be positioned above the appliance provided it is no closer than

400mm from the top of the appliance glass panel and the wall above the appliance is non combustible.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 60mm of a solid floor (i.e. wood or stone) or hearth. This

dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

Clearanccessttoccombusstible mmaterialss

Combustible materials are defined as wood, fabrics, or other materials likely to combust if exposed to flame.

Generally, any material, which is likely to discolour, melt or misshape when exposed to moderate heat, should

be considered as a combustible material or surface.

Clearance to the sides of the appliance are 100mm(4in) but curtains, drapes and other fabrics are not permitted

within a distance of 500mm(20in) of the appliance sides. No such materials are permitted directly above the

appliance regardless of distance.

The minimum clearance to the ceiling above the appliance is 800mm measured from the top of the appliance

glass panel.

Combustible materials should not be positioned directly in front of the appliance within a distance of one metre.

Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the

wall above the appliance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any

type of combustible fire surround. No combustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appli-

ance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to be positioned on the wall above the

appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceeding with

their installation.

The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does

not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound

and constructed from a material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Finished plaster, conventional wall

paper and dry-lined plasterboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and

embossed paper which are sensitive to even small amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or dis-

colouration may occur over time.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and

ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be confirmed. It is important in these circumstances

that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house frame are not

damaged.

The appliance must not be positioned vertically within 100 mm of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of

any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of the appliance firebox.

VENTILATION

A minimum of 100 cm2purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. This may be achieved either

with one vent 100 cm2at a high or low position in the room, or split ventilation i.e. 50cm2 be installed at high

level and 50cm2 be installed at low level within the room. An openable window or equivalent is also required.

The requirements of other flued appliance operating in the same room or space must be taken into considera-

tion when assessing ventilation.

4.0

4.1

VENTILATION ((continued)

Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation fitted under, or within

immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of the ODS sys-

tem. The appliance MUST NOT be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. For Republic of

Ireland, see relevant rules in force. The appliance should not be installed within 500mm of any air vent.

GAS SSUPPLY RROUTES

There are four possible entry points for the gas sup-

ply pipework to enter the appliance firebox. These

entry points are ‘knock out’ type holes.

Non-concealed gas connections may be made using

the entry points at either end of the firebox or the

one in the bottom of the firebox. A concealed gas

connection may be made using the knock out hole

in the centre back of the firebox. Select the most

appropriate entry point and knock out the relevant

hole

No more than 1.5m of 8mm diameter pipe must be

used to avoid unnecessary pressure drops.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made, the supply pipe should always be sleeved through walls and floors

using the shortest possible route.

For concealed supply pipe routing, pipes must (where possible) be vertical and providing there is sufficient wall

thickness available, they should be placed in pipe chases. Horizontal pipe runs should be avoided. Prior to chas-

ing a solid wall, an inspection should be made to note the proximity of any cables/sockets outlets which may

already be buried.

Pipes must be secured using suitable clips and protected against corrosion. Ideally factory finished protected

pipework and fittings should be used. Joints should be kept to a minimum and compression fittings must not be

used. The pipework installation must be tested for soundness before any protection is applied and/or the

pipework and fittings are buried.

FIXING THE APPLIANCE

After having selected the final mount-

ing position of the appliance, taking

into account the site requirements as

specified in section 4 of these instruc-

tions, the integrity of the wall, and the

feasibility of the proposed supply pipe

routing, the firebox of appliance may

be secured to the wall. A fitting tem-

plate is supplied to assist with this.

Mark the positions shown as “Gas

model L27G” on the wall. If the appli-

ance is to be mounted on the inner leaf

of a conventional cavity wall, or a solid

wall, drill four holes using a 7mm

masonry bit. Insert the fibre wallplugs

provided.

If the appliance is to be mounted on a

dry lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then special

cavity screw fixings will be required which are not supplied with

this product. These should be constructed from metal and not

plastic.

If a concealed gas connection is to be made ensure the gas sup-

ply pipe is in it’s final position and can enter the appliance in the

correct position when the appliance is hung on the wall.

Insert the wall fixing screws into the top wall plugs, taking care to

leave the screws protruding approximately 5mm from the wall.

Now hang the appliance onto these screws through the two key-

hole shaped holes in the back panel of the appliance.

Insert the lower fixing screws into the lower wall plugs through the

corresponding holes in the lower part of the back panel. Do not

tighten fully.

Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully, at this stage it is

recommended to check the horizontal alignment of the appliance

with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made if neces-

sary. When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws

fully.

To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver either through the round holes in the front of the outlet

grille, or alternatively for easier access the outlet grille may be removed and the fixing screws accessed more

directly through the holes in the deflector baffle as shown above.

CHECKING TTHE BBURNER

There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner which is

designed to produce a continuous band of flame over it’s length.

The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter.

If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal of the four

retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring a good seal.

TESTING AAND CCOMMISSIONING

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edition of BS6891.

OPERATING TTHE AAPPLIANCE

The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burner.

The control knob is located on the lower right hand side of the outer

case. It is of a spherical design and is marked as shown in the diagram

to the right;

Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold

there for a few seconds. Continue turning anti-clockwise through the

spark click to the PILOT light position, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not,

return the knob clockwise, and repeat.

When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob depressed for

approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot

should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three

minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.

To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and

continue turning anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burner should light after a few seconds. To

decrease the setting to LOW, turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting.

To turn to the PILOT position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press the control knob in, and return to the pilot

position and release. To turn the fire OFF, keep the knob pressed in, return to the off position and release.

SPARK FFAILURE

The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3 - 5mm to produce a good spark. There should

be no need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the piezo electric spark fails, the pilot cannot be lit man-

ually.

SETTING PPRESSURE

The pressure test point is located on the left hand side of the appliance, on the main burner pipe, next to the

brass restrictor/connector. Release the setting pressure test point screw, and attach a U gauge. Light the fire on

the HIGH setting.

To commission the appliance, the burner pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in the data sec-

tion of these instructions.

The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures and any

significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If

the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set

incorrectly. This should be checked with the fire running

and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.

If the burner pressure is too low, then check the inlet

pressure with the appliance running. If this is less than

approximately 20mbar it will need to be reset by the gas

supplier. If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter

pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply

pipework is to be suspected.

This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size

pipes, restriction in a fitting, shut off elbow not fully open or solder flashing across a joint. Identify the cause of

the restriction and rectify. Switch the fire off, disconnect the U gauge and refit the test nipple screw. Light the

fire and check for gas soundness.

In the event that the burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these

instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guidance.

FITTING TTHE GGLASS FFACIA AASSEMBLY

Remove the glass facia panel from any pro-

tective packaging. The glass facia panel is

supported by four M6 screws which protrude

from the front of the outer casing.

Ensure each screw is unscrewed approxi-

mately one turn from the fully screwed in

position in order to create a 2mm gap

(shown).

Simply hang the facia panel onto the outer

casing ensuring that the corresponding key-

hole shaped holes engage the screwheads

fully.

BRIEFING TTHE CCUSTOMER

All instructions must be handed to the user

for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and control the fire. After commissioning the appliance, the

customer should be instructed on the safe use of the appliance and the need for regular servicing. Frequency

of service depends on usage, but MUST be carried out at least once annually.

Advise that cleaning of the fire maybe achieved when the fire is cold using a damp cloth and mild detergent on

most surfaces. Advise that the fire will emit a "newness" smell for a time after initial commissioning and that extra

ventilation may be needed during this time. Recommend that a guard be used for the protection of the young,

pets, the elderly and the infirm
