•
Burner Ventilation:
The burner requires ventilation air from the room. This
air is required to ensure the remote system does not overheat. The fire has
been designed to allow this air to be provided via a slot at the front (hidden
behind the trim) or if no trim is being used the air must be ducted into the
base of the enclosure. Read Section on Burner Air.
•
Gas Supply
: Do not install the fire until the gas pipework has been checked
and a flow rate performed to ensure that the minimum flow rate specified in
the technical section can be maintained when the fire operates on full.
Failure to do this may result in the fire failing the commissioning test or
becoming unreliable. This then may require removal of the fire and pipework
to rectify the gas pressure.
Gas Flow Rate: NG = 0.705 m3/Hour
Gas Flow Rate: LPG = 0.278 m3/Hour
•
Room Ventilation:
For FR850NV no external air vent is required. The
FR850-V version of this fire requires a 100cm2 free air wall vent in the room
in which it is installed.
•
Fascia Trim:
The RIBBON FR850V & RIBBON FR850NV is supplied with
a stone fascia. This must be used when the fire is installed. Only a stone
fascia supplied by Spirit Fires must be used, using a non-standard trim will
invalidate the warranty.
•
Gather:
An optional gather is available to attach the enclosure to a flue
liner. Depending on the model purchased the gather will have either a
130mm or 180mm spigot (see technical section). If installing the fire in a
brick built chimney we advise buying the gather as this will stop debris
falling into the fire and improve efficiency.
•
Flue System:
o
RIBBON FR-850-V
– Class 1 or 180mm flue of minimum 2 metres.
o
RIBBON FR-850-NV
– Class 2 or 130mm flue of minimum 3 metres
(this model can also be used with the same flue as the FR-850V)
•
Flame:
It is normal with this type of appliance for the flame to be directed
towards the back of the enclosure. This will be worse where the fire is
installed without the official gather and with a longer flue.
•
Remote Heat Shield:
This fire is approved
with the heat shield in place.
The fire should never be operated without the heat shield; any resulting
damage caused by heat is not covered by the warranty.
