This appliance has been designed, tested and manufactured to the British Standard BS 7977-1:2002 relating to
Radiant Convector Gas Appliances and
must
be installed by a qualified Gas Safe Registered Installer in
accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and use) regulations 1994 and all other relevant standards.
This appliance must be connected in accordance with the National Regulations. The appliance must be sealed
into a non-combustible fireplace (Fig. 2) whose only opening must be through a Class I (7” or 175mm diameter)
or Class II (5” or 125mm diameter) chimney / flue of at least three metres in height.
Before installation, ensure that the local conditions, (identification of gas type and pressure) and the adjustment
of the appliance are compatible. Never place combustible material directly in front of this appliance. Floor
covering such as carpet is acceptable but must be a minimum of 300mm from the incandescent flame.
NOTES FOR THE INSTALLER AND END USER
3
This fire is a very effective heating appliance and must be fitted against a wall of non-combustible material as
classified in BS 476-4:1970 (2007).
An air vent is not normally required for this application because its input does not exceed 7kW. We recommend
that the chimney/flue is swept prior to installation of this appliance and that any flue restrictor or damper plate
should be removed or fixed in the open position. The chimney/flue must always generate a positive up draught to
ensure safe operation.
The installer must then establish that all the products of combustion are entering the flue within ten minutes of
lighting from cold. This can be verified by inserting a lit smoke match into the left and right hand ducts
immediately above the glass retaing strip. It should NOT be inserted into the central convector duct.
This operation should be carried out before fitting the trim and louvred panel (see ‘Spillage Test’ page 4).
An isolation valve must be fitted adjacent to the appliance. When closed, this will allow the complete burner and
control assembly to be disconnected for maintenance or repair in accordance with national regulations.
The gas supply should be provided by a semi rigid pipe with an 8mm diameter and should be no longer than 1.5
metres in length.
NOTE:
When the gas supply pipe is passed through masonry or other brickwork always ensure that the end
of the pipe is covered to avoid any debris passing through into the appliance controls.
The appliance is fitted with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) that monitors the room for products of
combustion. If products are detected, the ODS will automatically shut down the appliance. If this situation
arises, re-light the appliance, referring to the user instructions (page 12). If shut down re-occurs, a qualified
person must be called to thoroughly check the appliance. The spillage monitoring system (ODS pilot) must
not be put out of operation or be tampered with or adjusted by either the installer or the user. If the unit is
found to be at fault it should be replaced with the manufacturers original replacement parts.
