FUEL BED LAYOUT
Please see the relevant section of the user instructions.
FITTING THE FIREFRONT
Place the decorative firefront in front of the fire and slide the ashpan door into place. The firefront shown in these instruc-
tions may be different to the one supplied with the appliance.
GAS CONNECTION
Purge the gas supply thoroughly to remove air and dirt/debris
BEFORE
connection. Now disconnect the inlet restrictor
elbow from the inlet pipe. Connect the previously installed gas supply to inlet restrictor elbow, and re-fit the restrictor
elbow to the inlet pipe of the appliance.
If using an across hearth connection, ensure the decorative fireframe and firefront will clear the supply route.
If the data/control plate is not already fitted, attach with two screws, ensuring the control knob is free to be depressed
fully.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
Turn on and test the gas supply up to the fire for any leaks, in accordance with current edition of BS6891.
When the appliance is first used, protective oils coating the firebox may burn off. It is advisable to ventilate the room dur-
ing this period for at least one hour.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
The pilot is visible through the left hand side of the matrix. Rotate the coals for good
viewing. Push in and turn the control knob to the SPARK position, and hold there for
a few seconds.
Continue turning anti-clockwise through the spark click 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 depressed for approximately ten
seconds. Now release the knob and the pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extin-
guished during use, wait three minutes before repeating the ignition procedure.
To achieve the HIGH setting, push the control knob in slightly and continue turning 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.
SPARK FAILURE
The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark. There should be no
need to adjust this. If under any circumstances the electric spark fails, the pilot may be lit manually by proceeding with
the ignition sequence as previously described, and after turning the control knob through the spark position, the knob
should be held in and the pilot lit with a taper.
SETTING PRESSURE
Remove the screw from the pressure test point.
The test point is situated on the main injector pipe
Attach a U gauge. Light the fire on the HIGH setting. The setting pres-
sure should be in accordance with the figures stated on page 2 of
these instructions. The fire is factory set to achieve these pressures,
and any significant variation could indicate a supply problem.
If the pressure is too high, the gas supply meter may be set incorrect-
ly. This should be checked with the fire running and if necessary reset
by the gas supplier. If the pressure is too low, then check the meter
governor pressure with the appliance running. If this is incorrect it will
need to be reset by the gas supplier.
If the setting pressure is too low, but the meter pressure is acceptable, then a problem in the supply pipework is to be
suspected. This will be dirt and debris, kinked or inadequate size pipes, restriction in a fitting or solder flashing across a
joint. (NOTE: you will not get an accurate reading of the inlet pressure with a pressure gauge on the end of the supply
pipe - this is the static pressure in the system. You must use a T piece and measure the supply pressure with the fire on
High - the dynamic pressure). Refit and tighten the screw into the pressure test point when the test is complete.
FLUE SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This fire is fitted with a flue spillage safety device (ODS). If the fire shuts down during use for no apparent reason then
several things may be suspected. If a door or window has been opened creating a draught, then pilot disturbance is the
problem, and removal of the draught should resolve this. The gas pressure reaching the fire must also be checked (again,
recall your installer to check and rectify any problem). The thermocouple connection into the back of the gas control valve
may also have worked loose during installation, simply get the installer to tighten. If pilot disturbance is not the cause,
then the ODS safety system may be in operation. Switch the appliance OFF, check the flue and carry out any remedial work
required. Relight the fire and carry out a spillage test. DO NOT allow the appliance to be used if it continues to fail a
spillage test
