HAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE USER

DESCRIPTION

The Claremont Decorative Fuel Effect Gas Fire has been developed to provide both radiant and convected heat using a

simple heat exchanger to extract the heat produced within the combustion chamber. The simulated coal bed uses soft

ceramic coals to radiate the heat produced by combustion and provides the additional comfort and visual effect of a

real coal fire. An aerated twin port burner is used running parallel across the front of the fire and operated by a single

gas control with a high and low heat setting. The gas valve has the protection of a flame failure device and a separate

Piezo igniter is provided to ignite an oxy-pilot burner.

The oxy-pilot or O.D.S. will cause the appliance to ‘shut off’

in the event of continued spillage occurring under hazardous or blocked flue conditions.

This appliance is suitable for installation into the following flue only - 7” minimum diameter flue (Class 1)

The installation must always be used in conjunction with a suitable hearth and surround.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The Claremont is a decorative fuel effect appliance designed and manufactured to the requirements of the British

Standards Institution BS 5258 Part 16 : 1991 and is for use on Natural Gas only.

All gas appliance installations must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the current Gas Safety

(Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 (as amended) or the rules in force and in accordance with the attached

Insulation Instructions, failure to do so could lead to prosecution.

The chimney flue (unless new) must be swept prior to installation. It should be checked annually for spillage

(smoke test) when the appliance is serviced and that there is no excessive build up of soot.

The appliance has a naked flame, a fireguard to British Standard BS 6539 or BS 6778 should be used for the

protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Combustible materials should not be put on or left in the

hearth, nor should the coal bed be used to burn rubbish or other materials.

Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the fire as some vinyl and

embossed materials may become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the

radiant heat of the fire and from impinging the hearth area. The hearth must not be covered by any combustible

materials such as carpet etc.

It is recommended that the appliance is serviced annually by a competent person and the flue checked for

satisfactory clearance of products and that there is no excessive build up of soot.

The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require

additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared.

This appliance will run on Full for approximately 4.4 hours on one therm of gas.

Fronts and frets used with this appliance must have a minimum open area in the fret of 50 square centimetres and 60

square centimetres in the front as shown in fig.12A.

3 minutes

before re-

lighting.

REMOVAL OF DEBRIS OR SOOT DEPOSITS

Allow the appliance to cool for one hour before removing all the coals and coal bed components for cleaning

purposes. Once all the components have been removed from the fire bed check that no debris has become lodged in

the burner ports (both front and rear). If any debris is present it may be easily removed with a thin piece of card or

similar to ease out any foreign matter. Any soot deposited on the coals etc; may be removed by using a soft brush or

with the careful use of a vacuum cleaner. Any soot deposits may be removed from either the Thermocouple or

Electrode tips with a soft cloth, do not use abrasive materials.

SETTING UP THE COAL BED. (See page 9 for identification of components)

Position the two burner inserts which are tee shaped in cross section in between the front and rear ports of the burner -

place the simulated coal front in position as shown in fig. 7. The coal support shelf is positioned so that the rebated

channel on the under side locates over the rear flange of the fibre support channel: two stops prevent the shelf closing

the gap between the back of the burner inserts and the front edge of the shelf. There should be a minimum gap of

6mm, see Figs 6 and 7.

COAL LAYOUT

First Layer. Position 3 large coals with the rear edge on the burner inserts with 2 triangular coals placed at the sides.

Place 4 medium coals stood vertically at the rear of the coal support. Place 5 large coals across the middle. See fig. 8.

Second layer. Position the remaining 4 large and 4 medium coals as shown in fig. 9.

To obtain the best visual appearance it may be necessary to make slight adjustments to the positions of the coals.

NOTE: Additional coals must not be used. If any of the coals or coal bed become damaged, lost or broken,

replacements must be obtained before the appliance is used.

VENTILATION

Purpose built ventilation is not required for this appliance in GB only. For Ireland (IE) ventilation is required with

a minimal cross sectional area of 100 sq. cms and should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from

obstruction. It must be fitted in accordance with the rules in force.

CLEARANCES REQUIRED FOR COMBUSTIBLE SHELVES.

Minimum clearances to underside of a 150mm (6ins) combustible shelf from the top of the fire opening must be

300mm (12ins). Add 12.5mm (1/2in) to this clearance for every 25mm (1in) increased depth of shelf.

DISMANTLING THE APPLIANCE PRIOR TO INSTALLATION INTO THE OPENING.

To prevent any damage and to assist with the installation of the appliance both the burner and the trim should be

removed. The trim is removed by lifting the trim vertically observing that the lugs locate over the flanges of the box.

To remove the burner from the box unscrew the two screws at the base of the fascia panel and pull the burner forward

observing that the rear feet locate under two lugs in the base panel.

GAS SUPPLY

BEFORE COMMENCING WORK, TURN OFF ANY APPLIANCES THAT ARE FED BY THE METER

AND ISOLATE THE SUPPLY BY TURNING OFF AT THE METER.

The gas connection to this appliance is made with 8mm O/D rigid or semi rigid tube to a pressure test elbow situated

on the left-hand side of the burner as shown in Fig 6. It is advisable to provide a means of isolating the gas supply to

the appliance for servicing with either a restrictor elbow or isolation cock as shown in Figs 2 & 3, (the supply tube

support bracket may be removed as shown in Fig 4). Provision is made in the rear of the box to make a concealed

connection, i.e. knock out blanks. The installer is reminded of the requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with

enclosed pipes. The standard requires that when a gas pipe is fed through a wall, the pipe should be enclosed in a tight

sleeve to protect against failure caused by movement and shall be constructed to prevent a passage of gas either

between the pipe and sleeve or sleeve and the wall.

Page 5

FITTING THE VENT BOX.

Position the box in the centre of the opening. If a concealed gas supply is to be used, it must be routed to the location

of the burner prior to fitting the vent box. The appropriate knock out blank should be removed and the pipe sealed

with the grommet provided.

Four holes are provided in the side flanges of the box these may be used to secure the vent box to the back panel as

shown in Fig 5, screws and plastic plugs are supplied with the fitting kit. It is important to ensure a good seal between

the box and the fixing surface, a foam strip is supplied adhered to the rear of the flange. Replace the burner assembly

in position ensuring that the rear legs locate under the tags in the base plate and secure with the two screws provided.

Complete the gas connection to the burner as required and fit the decorative trim by locating the tags in the cut outs in

the side flanges. Slide the trim down until the top tag locates over the top flange, care should be taken to avoid damage

to the paint on the top flange of the appliance, if the trim is finished in brass remove the protective plastic coating

before lighting the appliance.

SETTING UP THE COAL BED. (See page 9 for identification of components)

Position the two burner inserts which are tee shaped in cross section in between the front and rear ports of the burner -

place the simulated coal front in position as shown in fig. 7. The coal support shelf is positioned so that the rebated

channel on the under side locates over the rear flange of the fibre support channel: two stops prevent the shelf closing

the gap between the back of the burner inserts and the front edge of the shelf. There should be a minimum gap of

6mm, see Figs 6 and 7.

COAL LAYOUT

First Layer. Position 3 large coals with the rear edge on the burner inserts with 2 triangular coals placed at the sides.

Place 4 medium coals stood vertically at the rear of the coal support. Place 5 large coals across the middle. See fig. 8.

Second layer. Position the remaining 4 large and 4 medium coals as shown in fig. 9.

To obtain the best visual appearance it may be necessary to make slight adjustments to the positions of the coals.

NOTE: If any of the coals or coal bed become damaged, lost or broken, replacements must be obtained before the

appliance is used.

TO LIGHT THE APPLIANCE AND CHECK THE CORRECT OPERATION.

Remove the Fret (Controls cover), to gain access to the controls.

Press and turn the gas control until the indicator mark is aligned with the IGN mark and keep the control fully

depressed.

After a sufficient period has elapsed to allow the system to be purged of air, press and release the igniter button

until a pilot flame has been established, (check that the pilot has lit on both the ports. Keep the control depressed

for a further 20 seconds.

Release the gas control and check that the pilot remains lit.

Depress the gas control slightly and turn fully anti-clockwise until the indicator mark is aligned with the small

flame symbol. The burner will cross light from the pilot.

Depress the gas control slightly and turn clockwise until the indictor mark is aligned with the large flame symbol.

The burner will now be at maximum rate.

Page 6

Turn the gas control to the OFF position, wait for 3 minutes, fully depress the gas control, turn to IGN position and

release the control. Attempt to ignite the pilot with an already lighted match or taper. If the pilot ignites the FSD is

faulty.

Re-light the appliance and set the control to the maximum rate (large flame) position, place the Fire front & fret in

position and leave to heat up for 5 minutes, check for satisfactory clearance of products by inserting a lighted

smoke match into the position shown in Fig 10. All the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs,

allow a further 10 minutes. Should spillage still occur examine the chimney for the fault and rectify the cause. The

test should be repeated if an extractor fan is situated in the room, or in any connecting room with all the doors in

that room opened.

TO CHECK THE APPLIANCE SETTING PRESSURE & LEAK TEST

A Pressure Test Point at the inlet elbow enables verification of the inlet pressure of the appliance under operating

conditions and can also be used to check the gas soundness of the connections to the appliance gas control. To check

the joints of the burner assembly for gas soundness it will be necessary to carry out the examination prior to installing

into the case. If a manometer is used care must be taken to ensure that it is not disconnected with the gas turned on and

the fuel bed hot.

TO VERIFY THE INLET PRESSURE

The inlet pressure should be observed at 20mbar +/- 1mbar when the appliance is operating at its maximum rate. Any

significant reduction below an inlet pressure of 20mbar will indicate a restriction in the gas supply to the appliance,

which should be identified and corrected. If there are any other appliances that are relatively high rated (e.g., a central

heating boiler) fed from the same gas supply branch, it is advisable to perform this observation with both appliances in

operation.

DEMONSTRATE THE LIGHTING AND EXTINGUISHING PROCEDURES TO THE USER

ADVISE THAT

The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour, which although not harmful, may require additional

ventilation until the odour has disappeared.

The appliance is fitted with an Oxy-pilot to prevent the continued operation in the event of spillage occurring. If the

fire shuts ‘OFF’ repeatedly the appliance must be turned off and not used until an expert is consulted.

When any debris or soot is to be cleaned from the appliance a vacuum cleaner may be used with care.

The appliance must be serviced annually by a competent person; i.e. a CORGI registered installer in accordance with

these instructions and that the appliance is checked for spillage in accordance with the method detailed in these

instructions.

Complete the section in the enclosed registration leaflet. Advise that any component or part of this appliance is

guaranteed against defective workmanship or faulty materials for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase,

and that a competent person carries out any warranty work.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICING

GENERAL

A. Removal of Debris or Soot Deposits; Allow the appliance to cool for one hour before removing all the coals and

coal bed components for cleaning purposes. Once all the components have been removed from the fire bed check that

no debris has become lodged in the burner ports (both front and rear). If any debris is present it may be easily removed

with a thin piece of card or similar to ease out any foreign matter. Any soot deposited on the coals etc; may be

removed by using a soft brush or with the careful use of a vacuum cleaner. Any soot deposits may be removed from

either the Thermocouple or Electrode tips with a soft cloth, do not use abrasive materials.

B. SERVICING COMPONENTS BELOW THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

To remove trim, lift vertically to allow the formed tags in the rear of the trim to slide out of the notches in the

flanges of the box. (re-assemble in the reverse sequence). Remove the coals, coal supports, burner inserts and front

simulated coal. To gain access to the components below the burner assembly it has to be removed from the Vent

Box by disconnecting the gas supply at the inlet elbow and unscrewing the two screws at the base of the fascia

panel. Where the supply is fed from the right hand side across the front of the appliance it will be necessary to

disconnect the supply from the isolation tap or restrictor elbow.

i) TO CLEAN OR REPLACE THE INJECTOR: Unscrew the compression nut connecting the gas supply to the

injector elbow while supporting the injector to prevent any distortion of the frame work. Unscrew and remove the

gas supply tube from the gas control valve, hold the injector lock nut with a spanner and rotate the injector. Replace

in the reverse order.

ii) TO REPLACE THE GAS CONTROL / FSD: Disconnect the three gas pipes and the thermocouple from the gas

control. Pull the control knob from the spindle, unscrew the lock nut securing the front of the control valve (niting

plate assembly), and remove the gas control valve. Replace in the reverse order.

iii) TO REPLACE THE PIEZO IGNITER: Pull the igniter lead from the piezo igniter tab. Hold the piezo lock nut

and rotate the piezo to unscrew and remove. Replace in the reverse order.

iv) TO CLEAN OR REPLACE THE OXY-PILOT ASSEMBLY (including electrode and thermocouple): Unscrew

the self -tap screw securing the clamp bracket. Undo the supply tube nut at the gas connection to the pilot taking

care not to lose the filter trapped between the olive and recess in the base of the pilot base, (see Fig.10) withdraw

the oxy-pilot assembly. Clean off any lint or fluff taking care to avoid damage. The individual parts cannot be

changed separately as the assembly is precision built. Reassemble in reverse order ensuring that the filter is fitted in

place. It is advisable to check joints for leaks prior to refitting the burner unit into position.
