FITTING THE DECORATIVE FRAME
The appliance is supplied with a decorative frame. The frame attaches to the firebox
using either four magnetic pieces, or as a three piece clip-on assembly. Before fitting
the frame remove any plastic protective coating.
For three piece frames : The side pieces of the clip on assembly should be pushed into
position first, followed by the top bar (shown), which should overlap the sides.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the possibility of sharp edges, care should be taken
when handling the three piece frame components. The use of protective gloves is
recommended. Place the firefront into position in front of the fire and slide the ashpan
door into place. Do not use any other firefront other than the one supplied with this
appliance. The firefront shown in these instructions may differ from the one supplied
with the appliance.
For single piece frames : Fit the magnets to the backing plates in four corners of the
firebox as shown. Follow the frame assembly instructions which are provided with the
frame itself.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the cur-
rent edition of BS6891.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the matrix. Rotate the coals or pebbles for good view-
ing. 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 the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three min-
utes before repeating the ignition procedure. To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in
slightly and continue turning anti-clockwise to the high 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.
SPARK FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no need to adjust this.
If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with the ignition sequence as previously
described, and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.
SETTING PRESSURE
To commission the appliance, the burner pressure must be in accordance with the
figures stated in section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve
these pressures and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem. If
the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrectly. This should
be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset by the gas supplier.
If the burner pressure is too low, then check the inlet pressure with the appliance
running. If this is less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instruc-
tions it will need to be reset by the gas supplier. If the setting pressure is too low,
but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to
be suspected.
Upon satisfactory checking of the burner 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 burner pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the data section of these instructions, the appliance must
not be commissioned, and the manufacturer should be contacted for guidance.
FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then several things may be
suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the problem, and removal of the draught should
resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again, recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The ther-
mocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the installer to tight-
en. If pilot disturbance is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry
out any remedial work required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a
spillage test.
The aeration hole of the pilot must be carefully cleaned out on each annual service to ensure continued function of the ODS.
The spillage monitoring system shall not be adjusted, modified, or put out of operation by the installer. Any spare parts fitted MUST be of a
type supplied for the purpose by the appliance manufacturer. If the fire is not spilling, then further guidance should be sought, using the
Troubleshooting section as a guide.
