lower wall plugs through the corresponding fixing holes in the lower
part of the back panel. 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 adjust-
ments 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 burn-
er 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, ensur-
ing correct orientation and a good seal. The gap between the spark electrode and the pilot
should be 3.5 - 4.5mm to produce a good spark (see figure 6). There should be no need to
adjust this. If under any circumstances 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 (natural gas instal-
lations) or the current edition of BS 5482 pt1 (propane installations). 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 marked as shown in figure 8.
• All models : The pilot is visible behind the left hand side of the burner. Push the control knob in fully and turn anti-clockwise
through both of the SPARK positions, keeping fully depressed, hold there for a
few seconds. If the fire has not been used for some time, hold the knob in this
position for longer, to allow any air in the pipes to be purged. Continue turn-
ing anti-clockwise through the spark clicks to the nine o’clock position, ensur-
ing the pilot has lit. If not, return the knob clockwise, and repeat. When the
pilot lights after one of the two sparks, keep the knob depressed in the nine
o’clock position for approximately ten seconds. Now release the knob and the
pilot should stay alight. If the pilot is extinguished during use, wait three min-
utes 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, push the knob in slightly and
turn the control knob clockwise to the low setting. To turn to the pilot only position from the HIGH or LOW positions, press
the control knob in, and return to the nine o’clock 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 cen-
tre of the burner as shown in figure 9. 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 facto-
ry 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 appli-
ance running. If this is less than the inlet pressure stated in section 2.0 of these instructions 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.
