OPERATING PRESSURE (continued)

Light the fire on the HIGH setting.

To commission the appliance, the operating pressure must be in accordance with the figures stated in

section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve the correct flow rates at the speci-

fied inlet pressure. 

Any significant variation in the operating pressure could indicate a supply problem. If the inlet pressure

is too high, the gas supply meter/governor may be set incorrectly.

This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.  If the operat-

ing pressure is too low, then check the meter/governor pressure with the appliance running.  If this is

less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instructions it will need to be reset by the gas

supplier.  If the inlet pressure is too low, but the meter/governor pressure is acceptable, then a prob-

lem in the supply pipework is to be suspected.  

Upon satisfactory checking of the inlet pressure, turn the fire off, disconnect the pressure gauge and

refit the test point screw. Light the fire and check for gas soundness. In the event that the inlet pres-

sure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance

must not be commissioned, and the problem investigated and rectified.

BRIEFING THE CUSTOMER

All instructions must be handed to the user for safekeeping. Show the customer how to light and con-
trol 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  young children, pets, the elderly and the infirm.

SERVICING

Isolate the fire from the gas supply.  Ensure that the fire is fully cold before attempting service.  A sug-
gested procedure for servicing is detailed below.

1. Lay out the dustsheet and tools.
2. Remove the hood (two M6 screws) and front and frame/facia.
3. Remove the glass door assembly (four M6 screws) and clean carefully.
4. Euphoria and Blenheim models only : Carefully remove the ceramic components.
5. Inspect the catalyst and clean if necessary with a soft brush.
6. Disconnect the gas supply and remove the four screws retaining the burner (two in the 

burner legs and two in the rear of the firebox).

7. Lift away burner assembly.
8. Strip off the burner pipes and clean thoroughly.
9. Clean the in-line restrictor, pilot assembly and the burner tube. Do not attempt to remove 

the pilot injector as this can cause damage.

10. Re-assemble and re-fit the burner tray.
11. Turn on the gas supply and leak test. Check pilot and burner for good ignition.
12. Euphoria and Blenheim models : Refit the ceramics as per these installation instructions.
13. Refit the glass door assembly, ensuring a good seal.
14. Refit the hood, front and frame/facia.
15. Check any purpose provided ventilation is un-obstructed. 
16. Light the fire and check operating pressures.
17. Carry out combustion check as per section 9.4.
17. Check safe operation of the appliance. 

For specific servicing instructions, see relevant sections.

CLEANING THE CERAMICS

Remove the fire front and place to one side.  Remove the hood.  Remove the glass door assembly.
Remove the ceramic components.  Gently clean in the open air with a soft brush.  Be careful not to cre-
ate dust from the ceramics. Where necessary replace damaged components with genuine spares.  Seal
scrap ceramic components in plastic bags and dispose at proper refuse sites as directed. If using a vac-
uum cleaner a HEPA filtering system is recommended.

Re-fit the ceramics by referring to the relevant section of these instructions.  Refit the glass door assem-
bly ensuring a good seal.  Refit the hood.
