overheating. Normally 6" or 150mm from the edge of
the appliance casing will be sufficient. Check
temperatures after several hours operation if in doubt
about materials and their suitability. No curtains may
be positioned above the appliance.
• The chimney must have suitable liner for direct
connection to the appliance flue outlet spigot. Under
NO circumstances may the appliance be fitted directly
into a fireplace or chimney without
direct
connection
to a proper flue pipe. Failure to observe this could
cause abnormal operation of the appliance leading
to a dangerous situation.
• The gas supply can be laid into the firebox from
underneath the gas burner assembly (chased into the
constructional hearth) as the firebox has an open
base.
4. Ventilation
• For UK installation every 1kW above 7kW gas input,
there must be 5cm
2
of additional purpose provided
ventilation. For example: if the input is 8.15 kW (see
data badge) this requires 1.15kW x 5cm
2
= 5.75cm
2
of
permanent ventilation.
• This can be directly to outside air through an outside
wall or through another room – but the next room
must also have sufficient permanent ventilation to
the outside. If in doubt consult an expert.
5. Installation of Appliance Firebox
• The gas supply must have a shut off valve near the
appliance for maintenance purposes. A restrictor
elbow is supplied with the appliance to use if one is
not already present.
• Remove the glass panel (2 screws at bottom edge) and
lift out the draught diverter assembly complete with
flue spigot connector and place to one side.
• Insert the firebox into the opening and position
correctly.
• Bring flue liner down into top of firebox through hole
in top.
• Put gasket onto draught diverter flange and slide flue
spigot and draught diverter assembly onto flue liner
until properly engaged. Do not push liner down
further than lower fixed stops in spigot.
• Use self-tapping screws to secure flue liner to flue
spigot, making sure that the draught diverter part of
the assembly is left clear for gases to enter the flue
liner. This MUST be observed. Failure to screw the liner
on properly or blocking the gap for products of
combustion to enter the flue pipe will cause abnormal
operation and may be dangerous.
• Push the whole assembly up into the hole in the
firebox top and secure with screws provided.
• Complete the gas pipe for the burner assembly to the
right hand side front underneath the firebox.
Knockouts are provided in the sides of the firebox if
necessary but the gas pipe can be brought in
underneath the fireplace base in most instances as
the firebox bottom is open.
• Make good the wall surface up to the firebox or fit a
trim. Always use non-combustible materials. Marble
slips, metal or stone panels etc can be used to replace
plaster around the firebox if required. Basic plaster
and plasterboard do not usually have sufficient heat
resistance to be used directly above the firebox.
6. Installation of Gas Burner
• Place burner into firebox. Angle control valve through
the cut-out in the firebox base first and then lower
down gradually, making the angle horizontal as it is
lowered.
•
Purge Gas Pipe
to ensure any dust or debris is
removed from it before connection to valve. The valve
may be permanently damaged if this is not done and
will be a chargeable replacement.
• Connect the gas pipe to the control valve using the
internal compression nut and olive (compression ring)
provided.
• Secure the burner to the firebox through the legs
using the four M4 screws provided.
• Check for gas soundness and operation of ignition and
pilot.
• Place pilot shield in front of pilot by hooking on to edge
of burner tray.
• Install ceramics with instructions provided in pack.
7. Lighting and Controlling the Fire
• From the off position, press in and turn the knob anti-
clockwise. A click will be heard from the piezo spark
generator and the gas should ignite at the pilot. If it
does not light first time, repeat until it does. When
pilot is lit
hold
knob in for about 10 seconds to actuate
the flame safety valve. If the pilot goes out, try again
but hold in firmly for longer.
• Release valve knob and turn fully anti-clockwise to
release gas to main burner. Once burner is lit the gas
flow may be regulated by turning between low and
high flame settings to the desired level.
• To turn back to pilot only, depress the control knob
slightly first before selecting that position.
• To switch off completely press knob slightly and turn
fully clockwise of off position.
•
Do not
relight burner for 3 minutes after switching
off from hot condition.
8. IMPORTANT Appliance Control Notes
• This appliance is fitted with an Oxygen depletion
sensing pilot unit which automatically shuts off the
gas to the whole burner system if the oxygen levels
in the room drop significantly. This can be caused by
lack of ventilation or a blocked flue system which
could cause dangerously poor combustion due to
depleting oxygen levels.
