CABLE RETENTION
Cables and eyebolts are supplied for the retention of the
appliance. Ensure that the internal fireplace components
are sufficiently sound to take the eyebolts and wall plugs.
These should be fitted in accordance with Figure 6, using
the wall plugs and a No.10 drill. Use only the fibre wall
plugs supplied (or similar).
On no account should plastic
wall plugs be used
.
Method:
Assemble one end of the cable to the top of
the fire by passing it through the small round hole and
locking by positioning the cable end in the adjacent slot.
Pass the other end of the cable through the eyebolt & hole
in the lower side of the appliance and fit adjusters in
accordance with Figure 7. With the adjusters fully
screwed in, carefully manoeuvre the appliance into the
fireplace opening. Take up any slack on the cables, and
tighten cable nipples into position.
Tighten the appliance into the fireplace opening by
turning the adjuster nuts to compress the sealing foam
sufficiently to provide an effective seal. Do not
overtighten.
If the sealing foam does not fully compress, then the
adjusters and nipples may require to be slackened and the cable pulled up
tighter before re-tightening the adjuster. Do not cut off any excess cable,
instead coil up the cable against the flange, as it may be required for
servicing purposes.
FLOOR SEALING
Using the floor sealing tape supplied, seal the bottom of the convection
box to the fireplace and hearth floor. Run the tape over the burner-fixing
bracket.
Replace the burner assembly into position in the firebox, without refitting
the retaining screw at this stage. Cut and shape the gas supply pipe to suit
the chosen direction of entry and the gas inlet fitting position. Refit and tighten the burner assembly retaining screws.
Refit the burner unit to the appliance to the front leg bracket by the screw.
Connect the supply line to the appliance.
For side connection passing in front of the surround.
The supply pipe will have to be close to the inner face of the surround to the fire
front casting to be correctly positioned. The pipe should pass through the cutout in the casting side.
For right hand side connection.
The supply pipe will also have to be formed to go behind the control knob and burner support bracket.
Pressure check the installation pipework for gas soundness in accordance with the current edition of BS6891. A long brush may be
required to reach some joints.
PRELIMINARY BURNER CHECKS
Some burner operations can be checked at this stage. Checking now will mean that less disassembly will be required it any problems are
found.
A full check should still be made, however, after final installation.
If closed, open the isolating valve at the inlet elbow.
Depress the control knob and turn anticlockwise partially towards the “
PILOT/IGN
” position until some resistance is felt. Keep depressed
at this position to purge air from the system then, while keeping it depressed, turn fully to the “
PILOT/IGN
” position. A spark should be
generated at the pilot while turning. The spark should ignite the pilot. If not turn the control knob back to the off position and repeat the
procedure.
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 thermocouple connections are sound. Replace the pilot unit if necessary (see servicing section of this manual).
When the pilot is alight and stable, partially depress the knob and turn to “
LOW
”.
The pilot should then light the main burner at its low
setting. There may be a delay of up to four seconds between the pilot lighting and ignition of the gas at the main burner. This is normal
and is due to the time required to fill the main burner compartment with sufficient gas for ignition.
When the burner is operating properly, partially depress the control knob and gradually turn it anti-clockwise. The burner flames should
gradually increase until the knob reaches the “
HIGH
” position.
