Insert the lower
mounting screws
into the lower wall
plugs through the
corresponding
depressed 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 adjust-
ments can still be made if necessary. When this has been checked,
tighten all four fixing screws fully.
To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the
holes in the deflector plates above the catalyst as shown in figure 6.
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 its 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.
The front section of the frame assembly should now be re-fitted. Re-
fitting is the reverse of removal as detailed in section 8.0.
A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to
the gas supply.
Consult all local codes. Route gas line using techniques and materials
prescribed by local and/or national codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or
greater diameter to allow full gas volume to the gas fireplace. Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.
An ANSI approved manual shut-off valve and union must be installed
upstream of the heater within the fireplace cavity when rigid pipe is
used. Ensure that a sediment trap is installed upstream of the heater
(figure 7) within the structure’s piping system to prevent moisture and
contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and
burner. Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating reliably.
The heater gas inlet connection is 3/8” NPT at the regulator, located
below the burner, in the right hand side of the heater. When tightening
up the joint to the regulator hold the regulator securely with a wrench to
prevent the regulator from moving.
Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a gas leak test solution
(also referred to as bubble leak solution).
NOTE: using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water) is an
effective leak test solution, but it is not recommended, because the
soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over
time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label in the con-
trol compartment or on page 9).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to
check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the “OFF” position. Either tighten or
refasten the leaking connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse off the
leak testing solution.
D. Observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure all
ports are open and producing flame evenly across the burner. If any
ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports.
The heater regulator
controls the burner
pressure which
should be checked at
the pressure test
points located on the
control valve itself
(shown in figure 8) for
burner (manifold) and
regulator setting
pressure.
The valve is found on
the centre of the
appliance behind the
valve cover.
