INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be

present. The fire has been designed to fit into a pupose made builders’ opening meeting certain dimensional

requirements.

The flue must have an effective height of at least three meters, as measured from the hearth to the top of the flue.

Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue. Where removal

is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.

A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and chimney

must be swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pel-

let or similar to ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary

before the appliance is installed.

INSTALLATION RREQUIREMENTS ((continued)

The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not

shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is

installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class GC1, as

regulations allow.

This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 175mm.

The flue termination (cowl) must be of a type suitable for use with an inset Decorative Fuel Effect Fire BS5871

part 3 contains further details.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS

The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. It will usually be necessary to

remove any chair brick that may be in place.

The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 575mm and 660mm wide, and 500mm to

660mm high.

Opening DEPTH should be 350mm or greater. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form

part of the installation.

This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following;

225mm xx2225mm ((9in xx99in) bbrick oorsstone.

175mm ((7in) mminimum ddiameter llined bbrick oorsstone.

175mm ((7in) mminimum ddiameter ttwin wwall fflue cconforming ttoBBS7715.

Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off.

The opening wall must be non-combustible.

The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 12mm thick. The top surface must be

at least 50mm above the surrounding floor level, or be surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm high.

3.0

4.0

A. Hearth must extend minimum of 150mm in front of the bowl.

B. Hearth must extend minimum of 50mm either side of the bowl.

C. Overall hearth width must be at least 660mm.

SITE RREQUIREMENTS ((continued)

A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions given

below.

A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireplace opening.

Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the fireplace open-

ing , providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in).

Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.

As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl and

embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.

VENTILATION

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances

operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.

If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may be insufficient

natural ventilation for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater problem should the property

be of modern nature. If the appliance does not spill with windows open but does with windows closed, this

proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if not, it will be the flue at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best

solution. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation located under-

neath or within the immediate vicinity of the fire MUST NOT be used as it may adversely affect the performance

of the O.D.S. system.

Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which cannot be cor-

rected by any amount of ventilation.

For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules in force.

UNPACKING TTHE AAPPLIANCE

Stand the carton right way up, and remove the Odyssey firebowl.

INSTALLATION OF AAPPLIANCE

Note: EEnssure tthat tthe ggassssupply iissiissolated bbefore ccommenccinggiinsstallation ooftthe aappliancce.

Smoke test the flue to ensure proper draw and that there are no leaks present.

Locate the gas supply point. This appliance is suitable for all gas connections, including those concealed behind

the opening.

Important NNote: CCheccktthat tthe tthermoccouple cconnecction nnut iinto tthe rrear ooftthe vvalve iisssseccure.

Place the concrete firebowl, and the burner assembly into the fireplace opening, and position as required. Mark

the location of the front support of the tray. Remove the tray and drill the two marked holes with an appropriate

masonry bit. Place fibre rawl plugs into the holes. Remove the front support from the burner unit by unscrewing

from the two front legs. Position the front support over the holes and secure the front support using suitable

screws into the prepared holes. Re-fit the tray into the concrete firebowl, and secure the front legs of the tray to

the support.

Using 8mm diameter pipe, connect the appliance to the gas supply point. The appliance must be fitted with rigid

or semi-rigid pipe of 8mm external diameter. The appliance is factory fitted with an inlet restrictor elbow.

Use a minimum length of 8mm pipe, less than 1.2m where possible, as a long run of pipe may cause an

unacceptable drop in the supply pressure.

If using an across hearth connection, ensure concrete firebowl does not obstruct the supply route . There are cut-

outs in the sides and rear of the firebowl to accomodate this.

FUEL BED LAYOUT

1. Remove the combustion matrix and ceramic front strip from

the protective packaging, and position onto the burner tray as

shown. The front edge of the matrix should sit snugly behind

the back edge of the burner rails. Do not fit the matrix on top

of the burner rails.

2. Open the bag of 22 ceramic pebbles. All of these pebbles

are the same size. Take five pebbles and place them as shown.

Care should be taken to ensure that the pebbles bridge the

gap between the front strip and the front edge of the concrete

firebowl.

3. Take five more pebbles and place them as shown. Care

should be taken to ensure that the pebbles bridge the gap

between the front strip and the four supports at the front of

the matrix. Care should also be taken not to push the pebbles

right down between the supports, as this can affect the flame

picture when the appliance is running.

4. Take five more ceramic pebbles and position as shown to

form the ‘third row’ of the fuel effect. The pebbles may be

rotated as desired to fit into the gaps between the supports in

order to create a random, realistic effect. Again, remember

not to push the pebbles down too far into the valleys between

the supports as this can have a detrimental effect to the flame

picture.

FUEL BED LAYOUT ((continued)

5. Now take another four pebbles and place behind the third

row of row of pebbles as shown. The pebbles may be orien-

tated as desired to achieve a realistic effect. Keep the spacing

between the pebbles even and uniform.

5. Take three more pebbles and place behind the forth row of

pebbles as shown. The pebbles may be orientated as desired

to achieve a realistic effect. Keep the spacing between the

pebbles even and uniform.

6. Finally, open the bag containing eight small pebbles, and

place around the edge of the fuel matrix as shown.

Once again, the pebbles may be orientated as desired in order

to give a realistic effect. The fuel bed layout is now complete.

The fire is designed to operate correctly with the pebbles sup-

plied when assembled according to the instructions. Never

add to the thirty pebbles, or change them for a different type.

Never throw rubbish or other matter onto the fuel bed.

Due to the light colour of the pebbles, some discolouration/sooting is to be expected during normal use.

INSTALLING TTHE BBATTERIES ((remote ccontrol vversions oonly)

OPERATING TTHE FFIRE ((manual ccontrol mmodels)

The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the front ceramic strip. 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 not, retry ignition. If the pilot is extin-

guished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the igni-

tion procedure.

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

and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high (large flame)

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.

A safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled sufficiently to allow

the magnetic valve unit to reset itself.

OPERATING TTHE FFIRE ((remote ccontrol mmodels)

The gas valve has two control knobs ;

Turn the main burner control knob (shown on left

hand side of control valve) fully anti-clockwise.

Turn ignition knob (shown on right hand side of con-

trol valve) slightly left towards the ignition position

until reaching the stop, press down and hold for a

few seconds until pilot gas is flowing.

Continue pressing down the knob while turning fur-

ther to the left to activate the piezo spark, continue

to hold the knob down for a further 10 seconds after

the pilot has been lit. If the pilot does not light repeat

the previous steps.

Upon lighting the pilot and after the further 10 sec-

onds, release the knob and turn further to the left to the ON position. The main burner will light and be controlled

in accordance with the main burner control knob setting. Adjust the main burner control knob to the desired set-

ting.

If the pilot is extinguished during use of the fire, you must wait three minutes before repeating the ignition pro-

cedure.

To turn the main burner OFF whilst keeping the pilot flame lit, turn the ignition control knob to the pilot position

then only the pilot will remain lit.

To shut the fire off completely, press the ignition control knob down and continue turning to the right from the

pilot position to the OFF position.

A safety interlock prevents re-ignition of the pilot flame until the thermocouple has cooled sufficiently to allow

the magnetic valve unit to reset itself.
