General Installation Requirements
This fire is intended for decorative purposes. The installation must be in
accordance with National Regulations and must be carried out by a qualified
installer.
Clearances between the fire and all combustible materials must conform to
National Regulations.
This fire must be installed and used in accordance with these instructions.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions
(identification of the type of gas and pressure and the adjustment of the
appliance) are compatible.
The builders opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a non-
combustible material. When installed, this unit should be located to the rear
of the fire opening. For some countries a non-combustible hearth must be
fitted in front of the fire in accordance with National Regulations (e.g. United
Kingdom).
Any flue damper plate or flue restrictor must be removed or fixed
permanently in the fully open position, or shall only be fitted in accordance
with National Regulations.
The chimney must be swept before the appliance is installed.
NOTE:
If the
chimney is not swept, there is a possibility that loose debris will fall onto the
appliance which may result in damage and unnecessary service costs.
Before the fire is installed a flue test in accordance with National Regulations
should be carried out. The unit must not be installed unless the chimney /
flue length is at least the length and size indicated in the ‘Technical Data’
section. Under no circumstances should this unit be installed and operated
within any premises without an adequate flue or chimney system.
The gas connections must be in accordance with National Regulations.
An isolation valve, or valves, has to be fitted adjacent to the appliance
which, when closed, allow(s) the complete burner and control assembly to
be disconnected for maintenance or repair in accordance with National
Regulations.
The pilot light and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing devise. If for any reason any part of the pilot assembly
is to be replaced ALL the assembly including the pilot burner, thermocouple,
electrode and injector must be exchanged complete for an original
manufacturer’s pilot assembly only. This atmosphere sensing devise is not
adjustable and must not be put out of action. The pilot light shuts off both
the main burner and pilot if evacuation of the combustion products is
interrupted. If the fire shuts itself off, do not use the fire, and have the flue
and fire checked by a suitably qualified person. The correct method for re-
lighting is shown in the ‘Re-set the Appliance’ section.
