INSTALLATION :

Prepare the fireplace and chimney as previously described.

Unpack the fire. For ease of installation remove the burner assembly. Unscrewing the two

retaining screws at the base of the front support legs can do this. Remove the complete burner

assembly and rear baseboard.

Within the base of the box, there are three mounting holes. Place the box centrally into the

fireplace opening; making sure the box is square and level. Mark through the three mounting

holes and remove the box. Using a 6mm masonry drill, drill and plug the fixing holes.

Lay the gas supply pipe in the fireplace opening. A means of isolating the gas supply other than

the appliance control valve should be fitted in the gas supply line. The inlet pipe to the appliance

should be 8mm O.D rigid or semi-rigid tubing. If the supply pipe is more that 1.5 meters in length

then the gas supply pipe diameter should be increased to a minimum of 1.5mm from that point.

Access through the outer casing of the appliance is through the rear or side access holes. The

gas supply pipe should be positioned within the fireplace as shown in fig No 21. A separate hole

is made through the fibre and the tube passed through. The tube must be sealed around the

hole using suitable silicon mastic, flexible fire cement or other approved method.

The box is repositioned within the fireplace, sealed to the opening, and secured to the hearth by

means of fixing screws. Check seal around the edges.

Replace the burner assembly, rear base board and make good the final gas connection into the

main control valve. Finally check the whole system for gas soundness.

registered engineer to ensure safe operation should service the appliance at regular intervals.

Advise the user that any smell coming from the fire on initial lighting will quickly disappear after a few hours.

SERVICING

It is recommended that the fire is inspected/serviced on an annual basis by a CORGI registered engineer. The

service engineer should replace any damaged or broken coals as necessary.

Before commencing any work isolate the gas supply to the fire. After any work ALWAYS TEST FOR GAS

SOUNDNESS.

SERVICING PROCEDURE :

Ensure that the fire is switched OFF and is cold before servicing commences. Isolate the gas supply to the

appliance. Carefully remove all coals from the fire and inspect for damage, remove the fire front and coal

guard.

Using a soft brush remove all soot and debris deposits from the main burner and pilot. Check condition of the

main burner gauze.

If parts require replacing then removal of the burner assembly is carried out as follows:-

Disconnect the gas at the inlet to the appliance. Remove the 2 screws at the base of the burner front support

legs and remove complete burner assembly. Remove the rear baseboard, check for damage and replace as

necessary.

Check the condition of the thermocouple and spark ignitor.

Users Instructions (All fires)

This leaflet has been prepared to help you use and

understand your gas fire.

Please read the instructions carefully before you begin

using this fire and keep the leaflet handy for future

reference.

OPERATION OF THE FIRE

To obtain access to the controls remove the ash-pan cover. The gas control valve cover is marked with the

following positions, Off, Pilot and a graduated section for Minimum and Maximum gas rates Fig.31. The

control knob point should be placed next to the position required.

TO LIGHT THE FIRE :

Ensure that the control knob is in the OFF position. Fully depress the control knob and keep in, turn

anticlockwise, you should feel some resistance to the knob turning; this is the piezo spark generator being

activated. Upon reaching the pilot position you will here a click, as the piezo spark igniter operates, the pilot

should light. If the pilot fails to light repeat the operation.

Once the pilot has lit, hold the knob in for a further 10-15 seconds to establish the pilot. When the knob is

released the pilot should remain alight. If the pilot fails to remain alight repeat the procedure but hold the knob

in longer to allow the pilot to establish.

If however you are experiencing difficulty in lighting the pilot, then the pilot can be lit manually by the use of a

long lighted spill. Place the lighted spill in the area of the pilot, turn the knob to the pilot position and hold in,

the pilot will then light off the lighted spill.

The gas control valve is fitted with a piezo spark generator, which when activated creates a spark at the pilot

head. If the main burner or pilot burners are extinguished for any reason, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELIGHT

THE PILOT FOR THREE MINUTES.

TO ALTER THE HEAT SETTING

With the main burner lit the heat setting is variable between high and low, and at any required setting between.

See fig 31.

TO TURN THE FIRE OFF :

To turn the fire off, turn the control knob to the minimum position, slightly depress the knob and continue

turning clockwise until the pilot position is reached. The fire will go out and the pilot light will remain lit, and

may, if required be left on for intermittent use.

Off Pilot only Burner minimum Burner maximum.

To turn the fire off completely keep the control knob depressed and continue turning clockwise until the off

position is reached. (See fig 31).

INITIAL OPERATION

Due to newness the fire may give off a slight smell for a short period after commissioning, this will disappear

after a few hours operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Whilst the fire meets the required safety standards additional guarding is recommended to give protection to

the young, elderly, and the infirm. Fitting a fireguard, which complies, with current regulations can provide

extra security.

The appliances have been designed to meet the requirements of EN509, and other relevant safety standards,

but during use parts of the Hotbox casing may become HOT. It is therefore recommended that a suitable

fireguard to BS6539 “Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances” be used where the very young or infirm are

concerned.

Never allow rubbish to be thrown on to the coal bed of the appliance, or otherwise disturb the fuel bed. Any

hearth at the front of the fire should never be covered with combustible flooring or materials.

The chimney should be checked annually to ensure continued clearance of combustion products, and that

there is no excessive build up of soot. It is recommended that the fire also be inspected/checked on an annual

basis by a CORGI registered engineer.

CLEANING

Cleaning should be carried out only when the fire is turned off and Cold. If the fire has a back box, the

brassware on the fire may be cleaned using an appropriate metal polish, care should be taken not to let the

metal polish come into contact with the paintwork, as metal polished, steel wool, solvent and vitreous enamel

cleaners will harm the paintwork.

The flame effect of the fire may deposit some soot onto the coals, whilst light powdery deposits are acceptable,

large deposits will need to be removed, along with any debris, which may have collected. This can be done

using a soft brush. Remove the coals for cleaning. Dust down using soft brush. Check the burner and

remove any deposits, which may have collected, again by using a soft brush.

It is advised that a vacuum cleaner should not be used

REMOVING AND REPLACING COALS

Ensure that the fire and pilot are turned OFF and that the fire is cold.

In time due to expansion and contraction, the "coals" may settle. It is suggested that the coals unless

satisfactory be re-arranged. The settlement of the coals may cause minor abrasions and expose some white

spots. These spots usually add realism to the fire when in operation.

If coals are to be replaced or re-arranged then remove the existing coals and replace as described in

Installation Instructions (pages 12-14).

Note: - coals can be rotated about their positions as an aid to balancing the flame picture. This should only be

done by using a pair of long handled tongues.

Ensure that NO coals are in such a position that they could become unstable and fall off the fire bed.

It is important to use only that number of coals stated in these instructions.

Hands should be washed after handling coals. -
