Clearances to combustible materials (continued)
Under no circumstances should any electrical equipment e.g. plasma/LCD screen TV sets etc. be positioned on the wall above the appli-
ance. The appliance is designed to be wall mounted alone and not in conjunction with any type of combustible fire surround. No com-
bustible shelves should be positioned on the wall above the appliance. It should be established that any mirrors or picture frames etc. to
be positioned on the wall above the appliance are able to withstand prolonged exposure to moderate heat and moisture before proceed-
ing with their installation. The back of the appliance may be installed directly onto a combustible wall, providing it is relatively flat and does
not interfere with the various vent holes in the back panel of the appliance. The wall must be structurally sound and constructed from a
material capable of withstanding moderate heat. Brick, concrete, finished plaster, most types of conventional wall paper and dry-lined plas-
terboard are examples of suitable materials. Materials such as flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper which are sensitive to even small
amounts of heat should be avoided as scorching and or discolouration may occur over time. If the appliance is to be mounted on a dry
lined wall or a timber framed construction wall then the integrity and ability of the wall to carry the weight of the appliance must be con-
firmed. It is important in these circumstances that any vapour control barrier is not damaged, and that any structural members of the house
frame are not damaged - refer to section 7.0 of the installation section of these instructions. The appliance must not be positioned verti-
cally within 100 mm (4”) of a carpeted floor, rugs or fabric materials of any kind. This dimension is measured vertically to the bottom of
the appliance firebox.
Purpose provided ventilation of 100cm
2
MUST
be provided for this appliance. An openable window or equivalent is also required. Any
ventilation fitted must comply with local Codes and/or Regulations. Ventilation fitted under, or within immediate vicinity of the appliance
must not be used as it may adversely effect performance of the combustion monitoring system (ODS) system. The appliance shall not be
installed within one metre of any existing air vent, and any new air vent shall not be installed within one metre of the appliance.
WARNING : Ventilation openings must never be blocked or restricted in any way.
The requirements of other appliances operating in the space or room must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation require-
ments, this will have been carried out by your installer. A supply of fresh air into the room is advisable to maintain temperatures within lim-
its.
The room size
MUST
be a minimum of 30m
3
(e.g. 3.5m x 3.5m x 2.45m or 11'6" x 11'6" x 8'). This is to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure
the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not be separated by a door.
Note :
To cal-
culate a room size in cubic metres (m
3
) divide the room volume in cubic feet (ft
3
) by 35.3.
It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to the heater. Installing the heater
next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the air (such as tobacco smoke, candle smoke etc.) exist,
may cause the walls to become discoloured. This appliance is intended as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room
without some form of background heating present. If the appliance is used in a room as the sole source of heat, then condensation may
occur on colder surfaces within the room. This appliance must not be used in bathrooms. Refer to section 4.0 of the installation manual
for guidance on installations in bedrooms.
• Corinthia models :
The control knob is located in the centre of the appliance
and is accessed by swinging the glass panel upwards from the botto. The control
knob is marked as shown in figure 2.
• Meridiana and Merrion models :
The control knob is located on the lower right
hand side of the outer case. It is of a spherical design and is marked as shown in figure
3.
• All models :
The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burner. Push in and
turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for a few seconds.
•
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the two spark clicks to the PILOT light posi-
tion, ensuring the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat.
•
When the pilot lights after the spark, keep the knob pressed for approximately ten seconds. Now release the
knob and the pilot should stay alight.
•
If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.
•
To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning fully anti-clockwise to the high position. The main burn-
er 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.
This fire is fitted with a combustion monitoring safety device (ODS). If the appliance shuts down during use for no apparent reason then
several reasons may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance could be the problem
and removal of the draught should resolve this. The appliance can then be re-lit in accordance with the previous section. If pilot disturbance
is not the cause, then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, call in your installer to check the appliance
and ventilation. Remedial work must be carried out as required. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used until the appliance and installa-
tion is passed as safe. If the pilot continues to be extinguished, you must call your installer to check the operation of the complete appliance.
Before carrying out any of the following operations, ensure that the appliance is OFF and completely cold. Regularly clean around the appli-
ance to ensure that dust, fluff, pet hair etc, are kept to a minimum. There are no other specific requirements for care, other than regular
cleaning of the general appliance.
A wipe with a dry cloth is normally sufficient.
DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish. Metal parts may be cleaned
using an appropriate metal cleaner. Test on a hidden part before cleaning. Clean only in the direction of the grain.
GLASS PANEL - This can be cleaned with a suitable glass cleaner. Test on a small area first.
PAINTED AREAS - These can be cleaned using a dry cloth.
