Compact 2 Installation Guide: 11817-D 04-15

Completing the heater installation

1. Remove combustion 
chamber glass 

Loosen, but do not remove the 
bottom two retaining screws.

While supporting the 
combustion chamber glass 
panel, completely unscrew 
and remove the two remaining 
screws and clamp. Lift the 
combustion chamber glass 
panel and place aside.

2. Unpack log set and granules

Carefully unpack the log set 
and inspect for damage. If 
any damage is evident, do not 
continue with the installation.

The satchel containing the 
burner granules is taped to the 
outside of the foam packing 
that contains the log set.

3. Install log set and granules

Use extreme care when 
handling the log set as it is 
fragile and will damage easily.

To position correctly, hold 
the log set at approximately 
45 ° directly in front of the 
combustion chamber. Maintain 
this angle and place the front 
feet of the log set behind the 
unpainted inner horizontal steel 
lip of the combustion chamber. 

To set the log set into the final 
position, rotate the back of the 
log set down, using the location 
of the front feet as pivot points, 
until it is sitting flat on the rear 
burner.

Check the correct position of 
the log set before installing the 
granules. Ensure the log set is 
firmly seated in the centre of 
the combustion chamber and 
not touching the side walls, and 
that the ports are clear of any 
debris that may have occurred 
during installation.

Carefully place (do not pour) 
the granules over and around 
the front burner ports. It is 
beneficial that the gas jet is 
diffused by the granules. This 
will reduce any candling effect 
of the flame and enhance the 
realistic log-burning look of the 
heater. 

Do not force, or block 
the burner ports with the 
granules and do not place 
any granules on the rear 
burner.

4. Replace combustion 
chamber glass and turn on 
electrical supply

6. Check burner pressures

Turn gas supply on, and refer to 
the data plate on the appliance 
for the correct gas pressure 
settings.

Remove the pressure test point 
screw and attach a manometer 
to the test point situated on the 
front of the injector block.

Light the heater, select the 
high heat setting, and check 
the pressure. If adjustments 
are necessary, the regulator is 
situated on the front of the gas 
control.

After checking pressures, 
turn the unit off, remove 
manometer, and replace test 
point screw.

Turn the heater on and off a few 
times to check ignition. When 
you are satisfied that the heater 
is working check the flame 
pattern, refer p. 20.

7. Attach frame assembly

Re-attach the gas/electrical 
plate. DO NOT do this if you are 
installing the traditional frame 
as this already has the plate 
included. 
 
 
 
 

 

Traditional frame - gas/electrical 

plate not required

 

 
 
 
 

Standard frame - gas/electrical plate 

required

Carefully pick up the frame 
assembly* and position the top 
fold over the mounting tabs and 
gently push the lower edge of 
the frame down over the unit.

Fit and tighten the frame to the 
unit using two screws for the 
standard frame or three screws  
for the traditional frame.

* Standard frame: Do not tilt on its 

edge as the glass may slide out off the 

standoff posts.

8. Complete the installation 
checklist

Complete the installation and 
commissioning checklist in the 
customer operation guide, and 
make sure you leave the guide 
with the customer. 

Explain to the customer about 
the use and care of the heater, 
and ensure they understand the 
instructions and operation of 
the appliance.
