Do not tighten fully. Before tightening the wall mounting screws fully,

at this stage it is recommended to check the horizontal alignment of

the appliance with a spirit level, as small adjustments can still be made

if necessary. 

When this has been checked, tighten all four fixing screws fully.

To access the upper fixing screws insert a screwdriver through the

round access holes in the front face of the outlet grille (as shown in

figure 5).  These access holes are located in the same position on all

models.

There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance features a ribbon burner
which is designed to produce a continuous band of flame over its length. 
The burner should be visually inspected to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. 
If it is necessary to clean or dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by
removal of the four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or inspection, ensuring
a good seal. The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to pro-
duce a good spark (see figure 6). There should be no need to adjust this.  If under any circum-
stances the piezo electric spark fails, the pilot cannot be lit manually.

Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with the current edition of BS 6891. For Republic of Ireland,
reference should be made to the current edition of IS813 (the relevant standards governing installation).

• 

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 7.

• 

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 position, 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 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.

The pressure test point is located on the inlet restrictor elbow in
the centre of the burner as shown in figure 8.
Release the pressure test point screw, and attach a pressure gauge.
Light the fire on the HIGH setting. To commission the appliance,
the operating pressure must be in accordance with the figures
stated in section 2.0 of these instructions. The fire is factory set to
achieve the correct flow rates at the specified inlet pressure. 
Any significant variation in the operating pressure could indicate a
supply problem. If the inlet pressure is too high, the gas supply
meter/governor may be set incorrectly.
This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset
by the gas supplier.  If the operating pressure is too low, then check
the meter/governor 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 inlet pressure is too low, but the meter/governor pressure is acceptable,
then a problem in the supply pipework is to be suspected.  
Upon satisfactory checking of the inlet 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 inlet pressure is not in accordance with the figures stated in the
data section of these instructions, the appliance must not be commissioned, and the problem investigated and rectified.
