INSTALLING TO A HEARTH
4.1.1.
Place the fire centrally on the hearth making
sure that the spigot lines up with the spigot
hole in the closure plate. Gently slide the
appliance into place. The spigot must enter
the closure plate to a depth of at least 25mm
(see figure 2).
4.1.2.
Level the appliance on the hearth by
slackening the two locknuts and
turning the levelling screws in the bottom
cross bar up or down as required while they
bear on the hearth. When the fire is level and
square to the wall, retighten the locknuts.
4.2.
WALL MOUNTING
4.2.1.
Fit two no. 10 x 2in. long woodscrews in the
top two fixing holes. Do not screw fully
home at this stage. Leave about 12mm of
screw protruding.
4.2.2.
Lift the fire and angle it backwards to engage
the support brackets on to the top fixing
screws. Carefully pivot the fire downwards
to engage the flue
spigot in the closure plate.
4.2.3.
Fit two screws through the bottom spacing
brackets and into the lower
fixing holes. Fully tighten all four screws.
4.3.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
4.3.1.
An Rp1/4 (1/4in. B.S.P.) elbow connector is
provided. This can be revolved through 360°
to the connection position required. If a rear
centre connection is required through an
opening cut in the closure plate (see
section 3.4.1.), seal the gap between the
plate and the pipe with tape after
connection.
4.3.2.
Provision for isolation of the gas supply
must be provided upstream of the appliance
for safety and servicing.
4.3.3.
The supply pipe must be of a rigid material
(e.g. copper). A flexible connection must not
be made.
4.3.4.
Pressure check the installation pipework for
gas soundness in accordance with the
current edition of BS6891.
4.3.5
.
Fit the floor plate ensuring that the rear tabs
locate in the slots in the back panel. and the
front of the plate rests on the flange at the
back of the bottom cross bar
(see figure 7).
Fitting the plate will be easiest if its right side
is first fed in behind the gas tap and
thermocouple and the left side of the plate is
then swung into the fire.
4.4.
FITTING THE RADIANTS
Fit the radiants ensuring that they rest
against the rear support bar and that their
bottom front edges are behind the retaining
tags near the front of the radiant box.
5.1.
CHECK CONTROL SETTINGS
5.1.1
Depress the control knob and turn
anticlockwise partially towards the 1/IGN
position until some resistance is felt. Keep
depressed at this position for a few seconds
to purge air from the system then, while
keeping it depressed, turn fully to the 1/IGN
position. A spark should be generated at the
pilot while turning. The spark should ignite
the pilot.
5.1.2.
When pilot ignition has been achieved, keep
the control knob depressed for
approximately ten seconds to allow the
thermocouple probe to warm up and then
release it. If the pilot does not remain alight,
ensure that the air has been purged, that the
pilot orifice is clear and that the
