Regulatory Information and Installation Requirements

THE FOLLOWING MUST BE NOTED PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.

This gas appliance MUST be installed by a GAS SAFE registered installer by law. It must be installed in accordance to these installation instructions and the GAS SAFETY (Installation & Use) REGULATIONS 1998 as amended. Non compliance of this law may lead to prosecution and it is in the interest of you and your family that this condition is observed.

The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with the relevant parts of the LOCAL AND NATIONAL BUILDING REGULATIONS as issued by the Department of the Environment or BUILDING STANDARD (Scotland Consolidation) REGULATIONS issued by the Scottish Development Department and the following relevant British Standards:

Prior to installation ensure that the gas supply is compatible with the appliance, this appliance must only be used on natural gas at a supply pressure of 20 mbar as marked on the data plate on the appliance and the carton.

This appliance is only to be installed into a builder opening which must be constructed of non-combustible materials confirming to BS1251 or a suitable flue-box complying with the requirements of BS715/BS EN 1856-2.

If the product is being installed into a builders opening the chimney must be at least 3 metres in height and should be swept before installation if it has been used for the burning of solid fuel (e.g. coal or wood). The chimney must only serve as a flue-way to this appliance and must have no openings to any other room. The opening should be inspected and any exposed brickwork should be repaired where necessary. The chair- brick (if applicable) should be removed. Ensure that the chimney/flue only serves one fireplace. Remove or securely fix open and dampers or register plates.

If the product is being installed into a fabricated Flue-box (to BS715) it must be installed onto a non-combustible surface with a thickness of at least 12mm.

This fireplace is also suitable for installation into precast flue fireplaces which comply to the requirements of BS EN1858/BS1289-1:1986 / BS1289:1975 and must have a cross sectional area of at least 12500mm² for BS1289:1975 and 16500mm² for BS1289-1:1986 pre cast flues.

When installing into a precast flue it is extremely important to ensure that the flue is clear of spiders webs and any other material which could impede the flow of products. Furthermore the flue-way connecting the blocks to the terminal should be twin skin and preferably insulated to reduce heat loss. If the flue terminates in a ridge tile which is too restrictive it may be necessary to change to a less restrictive ridge terminal.

It is important to note that pre-cast flue systems should be constructed with an air gap or some form of insulation material between the flue block and the plastered face; pre-cast flue systems with a plastered face directly in contact with the flue block are not correctly installed and installation of this appliance into such a flue system may result in the plaster cracking above the appliance.

Essentially a vertical flue route from the spigot is required to ensure evacuation of combustion products. Any overhanging brickwork or other building materials which affect the gas from rising to the flue entry should be removed and made good. For class 1 installations a throat lintel is recommended.

All flue types should be checked for draw using a smoke bomb or similar, if there is a definite draw then the installation of the appliance can proceed. A successful smoke bomb test is not a guarantee that the appliance will draw properly as it provides a very low volume of smoke. This test is to ensure the flue-way is clear and connected to the terminal/pot correctly and can help identify flue leakage.

Siting the Appliance

This fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fireplace back panels with a temperature rating of at least 150°C. (This is also known as CLASS”O” - If in doubt please contact the supplier of the back panel supplier to check suitability. It is recommended that the back panel be constructed of 3 sections with joints across the upper level of the fireplace section to allow for expansion and contraction. The installation of this appliance into an unsuitable back panel, where this component subsequently cracks, will not be deemed to be a fault of the appliance.

The fireplace opening must be between 405mm and 450mm wide and between 555mm and 570mm high. If the opening intended for the appliance is in excess of these dimensions then a suitable surround must be constructed of non-combustible material to produce an opening within this range of dimensions.

Diagram description: A diagram shows the recommended dimensions for a fireplace opening. The opening must be between 405mm and 450mm wide and between 555mm and 570mm high. A flat area of at least 470mm wide and 590mm high is required around the opening for a good seal. Minimum hearth dimensions are also shown: at least 50mm above the floor and protruding 300mm from the fireplace opening.

Installation into a Brick Chimney

When the appliance is being installed into a brick chimney there must be sufficient depth behind the appliance to accommodate any falling debris. This debris collection void should be capable of accommodating twelve (12) litres of volumetric space. The appliance will require a debris collection space behind the firebox of 34mm to achieve this if the fireplace opening 405mm. If the fireplace width is 450mm wide this clearance can be reduced to 17mm

Installation into a Prefabricated Twin Wall Metal Flue Box

This appliance can be installed into a prefabricated metal twin wall flue box providing it complies to the requirements of BS715 / BS EN 1856-2. The box must have an insulated flue with a minimum diameter of 125mm (5") diameter and a minimum effective overall height of 3 metres.

The top outer face of the flue box should be insulated to prevent heat loss with a layer of mineral wool insulation or similar. The metal flue box (to BS715) must stand on a non-combustible surface with a minimum thickness of 12mm.

Fireplace Opening (Hole in the Wall Installation)

This appliance MUST be installed in accordance with all relevant sections of document ‘J' of the building regulations. This appliance may be installed such that the base of the appliance sit on the surface of a fireplace opening at least 110mm up from the floor—this dimension ensures that there is no incandescent material (flame or ceramic impinged by flame) is less than 225mm from the floor.—This is a requirement of document ‘J'of the building regulations.

Where a hole in the wall installation is employed it is important that the fret to the appliance is either integral with the trim, is fixed to the appliance securely or a small hearth surface is constructed at the base of the opening for the fret to sit upon. If such a hearth is constructed it must be a minimum of 480mm in width and 100mm deep.

It is always important to ensure that the appliance is fixed securely to the fireplace opening and that no movement of the ceramics takes place when the appliance is operated. It is additionally important in a 'hole in the wall' installation to ensure loose ceramics cannot fall from the appliance. In addition it is imperative that ONLY fascia/trim arrangements supplied by Hearth Products deemed suitable to be used with Hearth Products appliances in a 'hole in the wall' installation shall be used.

THE INSTALLER MUST INFORM THE USER OF THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT NOTICES AFTER A HOLE IN THE WALL INSTALLATION HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN.

  1. The user must be made aware to fit a secure fireguard where the room is used by elderly, infirm, infants or young children.
  2. The customer should be advised to fit a hearth panel or a physical barrier in accordance with BS5871-2. Should this advice not be followed the customer should be advised to give due to consideration to the safety of the occupants in the room where the appliance is to be installed.
  3. The user must be made aware to keep the area immediately in front of the appliance must always be kept clear of combustibles items. This does not include the floor covering however such covering should be fixed.
  4. The user must ensure that the ceramic fuel bed is maintained in the correct condition of installation, especially after cleaning. If the fuel bed is removed for cleaning or maintenance the ceramics should be checked for secure placing and tested for movement during appliance operation.
  5. The user must ensure that other occupants of the room where the appliance is installed are notified to not get unnecessarily close to the appliance when in use or to position any furniture or appliances too close to the fire.

Checking the Flue

Use a smoke pellet prior to the appliance installation to ensure the viability of the flue and check that the smoke can be seen being emitted from the terminal / chimney pot outside. There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney/flue during or after the smoke pellet test and it is important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney/flue. If the installation is into a pre-cast flue ensure check the loft space to ensure that the connection between the pre-cast block and the fluepipe is sound. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, the installation of a tested and certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be considered. A spillage test must be performed—see page 4 of these instructions.

Fixing the Appliance

If the appliance is being installed with a spacer kit, this should be attached to the appliance using the screws included and the foam seal which is supplied with the appliance should be affixed to the rear face of the spacer. Do not use any permanent sealing substance as this will invalidate warranty as the appliance cannot be removed for periodical inspections.

Cable Fixing System (Supplied as standard)

This appliance is best installed with the cable fitting system which is supplied in the standard fitting pack. The fitting system comprises four (4) eyebolts, two (2) fixing cables, two (2) screwed nipples and two (2) adjuster fittings.

This installation requires that the burner tray is removed from the firebox. Remove the screws securing the burner tray to the firebox and set the tray aside during the firebox installation.

Diagram description: A diagram illustrates the cable fixing system. It shows eyebolts being fitted, cables threaded through the appliance and eyelets, and adjuster fittings used to tension the cables for secure fixing.

Spillage monitoring System

This appliance is fitted with an atmospheric sensing system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot burner. This is designed to shut the fire off in the event of products being spilled into the room where the fire is being operated. It is important to note that this spillage monitoring device should not be disabled or be adjusted by the installer. If the spillage monitoring device (O.D.S pilot) is replaced it must only be exchanged with a suitable component which is supplied by Hearth Products Ltd.

Combustible Shelf

This appliance may be fitted below a surround with a combustible shelf providing the following dimensional criteria is met:

There must be a minimum distance of 250mm from the top of the appliance to the underside of the shelf. The shelf must not project more than 150mm from the mounting surface of the appliance into the room. If the shelf projects more than 150mm then the distance between the top of the appliance and the underside of the shelf must be increased accordingly; for every 10mm of projection above 150mm the distance between the fire and shelf must be increased by 20mm

Front Glass Panel

Removal of the front glass panel

The top glass clamp is held in place with 3 screws. This panel is concealed behind the top cover strip which is held in place by two magnets. The two magnets are fitted to the top glass clamp as shown in this diagram. Carefully remove the 3 fixing screws and whilst supporting the glass panel, remove the clamp. Now lift the glass from the appliance. The bottom edge of the glass is retained in the two supports bottom left and right. Now the ceramics can be installed, rearranged correctly or removed for service. Correct installation of ceramics is details on pages 15 & 16.

Diagram description: A diagram shows the top of the appliance with retaining screws and magnets indicated, illustrating how the top glass clamp is held in place.

Installation of the front glass panel

Before replacing the glass ensure that the seal around the top and two sides of the firebox is in good condition and is securely affixed to the appliance. If the seal is damaged of loose then it should be replaced / reaffixed before the glass is replaced. This seal is important and if damaged, the appliance should not be operated.

The glass panel should be undamaged. If the glass panel is broken or cracked it should not be used. Contact the manufacturer for a suitable replacement before continuing.

Replace the glass panel into position by locating the bottom edge into the two lower supports. Rotate the glass panel back into position and hold whilst the top clamp is secured with the 3 fixing screws (as detailed above. Ensuring the two magnets are in the correct position (see above) then the top cover can be placed into position. This component is purely decorative and is used to conceal the top clamp fixing structure.

Connecting the Appliance to the Gas Supply

The gas supply can be connected to the appliance by a concealed fitting from the rear. In all installation conditions the gas connection should be provided using 8mm (O/D) copper tubing. If the concealed installation method is chosen, there are three optional entry points at the rear/side of the appliance. The relevant ‘knock-out' entry point should be removed to allow the gas supply to enter the appliance. No soldered joints should be used with the firebox of the appliance. The blind grommet which is supplied in the standard fitting pack should be used to close up the knock out hole—simply cut a small cross with a sharp knife in the centre of the grommet—this will then seal around the gas pipe to provide a tight seal. Under no circumstances should this gas entry hole be left open and unsealed as this can result in flame reversal and can cause damage to the appliance. Should this occur the warranty to this appliance will be rendered void.

Before connecting the gas supply to the appliance a gas soundness test should be performed to ensure that the existing pipe work in the property is sound.

The burner tray can now be reinstalled into the firebox.

The gas connection should be made to the appliance by the 8mm restrictor isolation valve supplied with the appliance. This restrictor elbow is supplied loose and should be fitted as per the label on the instruction packet.

Install the ceramics and the glass panel to the appliance according to these instructions—see pages 8 and 15.

Test the operating pressure of the appliance by attaching a pressure gauge to the test point of the appliance. This connection should take place when the appliance is OFF. Ensure that gas is turned on at the gas meter and purge the air from the appliance by:

MANUAL CONTROL UNITS:

Rotate the control to the [ignition symbol] position and push in, now press the igniter button. Continue to press the igniter button until the pilot lights. Check that the spark is being generated correctly at the pilot assembly. Continue with this procedure until the air is purged from the appliance and the pilot is lit. Once lit hold the valve pushed in for up to 30 seconds. Once the pilot is established and secure, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the [HIGH] position. Allow the appliance to run for a minimum period of 5 minutes. Next check that the inlet pressure to the appliance is at 20 mbar ±1 mbar.

SLIDE CONTROL UNITS:

Pilot and low burner ignite in unison.

Push down the control lever fully to the [ignition symbol] position and hold. The spark generator should spark continuously, ensure the spark is being generated correctly at the pilot assembly. Continue with this procedure until the air is purged from the appliance and the pilot is lit. Once lit hold the lever pushed down for up to a further 30 seconds. Once the pilot is established and secure allow the lever to rise to the [LOW] position then lift the lever to the [HIGH] position. Allow the appliance to run for a minimum period of 5 minutes. Next check that the inlet pressure to the appliance is 20 mbar ±1 mbar.

Check the operation of the appliance

Check the operation of the appliance according to these instructions—see page 14.

Check the clearance of combustion products

SPILLAGE TEST: To check for satisfactory clearance of products of combustion, close all doors and windows and leave the appliance burning on HIGH for five minutes. Insert a lit smoke match just into the gap at the top centre of the fire. It is recommended that a smoke match holder be used. All the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs allow a further 5 minutes and repeat the test. If spillage still occurs turn off the appliance and seek expert advise. If an extractor fan is situated in the room the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a connecting room with an extractor fan the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room open and the extractor fan running.

Completing the Installation of the Appliance

Remove the protective covering (if applicable) from the face of the decorative trim. Fit the trim to the appliance with the magnets provided. One magnet should be placed in each corner of the trim at the top of the appliance and on each side about 120mm from the base of the appliance. In the case of slide control appliances care should be taken that the magnet does not come into contact with any moving parts of the lever mechanism. This advice should also be passed onto the consumer to ensure that they are aware of magnet positioning. A service call due to incorrect placement of magnets which cause difficulty in lighting the appliance will result in a callout charge being made.

Position the fret in front of the appliance ensuring that it meets the following requirements.

Diagram description: Diagrams show the placement of magnets on the rear face of the trim for both 'STANDARD TRIM' and 'TWO TONE TRIM' options.

Now fit the trim to the appliance.

THE INSTALLER MUST INFORM THE CUSTOMER OF THE FOLLOWING TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION

Demonstrate the lighting of the appliance and the controls to control the heat settings. Demonstrate how to extinguish the fire.

Demonstrate the removal of the trim and fret and how to reinstall correctly.

Discuss the removal and reinstallation of the glass and the ceramics. Explain how they should be cleaned and make the customer aware of the health and safety warning detailed later in these instructions.

Explain to the customer that the ceramics are fragile and must be treated with great care, explain that the ceramics are not covered by the warranty because of their fragility. Also explain that small hairline cracks will appear in the surface of the ceramics due to heat expansion and contraction—this is perfectly normal.

During the first several hours of use an odour will be experienced—this is normal and is the starch used in the manufacturing of the ceramic fuel bed. This odour is non toxic and will eventually disappear with use.

Advise that no rubbish should be thrown onto the appliance and that the appliance should be cleaned regularly.

A vacuum cleaner can be used but it is important that the appliance is turned off and allowed to cool before undertaking this procedure. See the separate section regarding cleaning the ceramics.

Advise the customer that the appliance should be serviced annually by a gas safe engineer to ensure the safety and integrity of the appliance.

Advise the customer that the appliance has a naked flame and therefore it is essential that a suitable fireguard be used for the protection of the elderly, infirm and young children. This fireguard should conform to BS8423 : 2002 (Fireguards or use with Gas Heating Appliances).

These instructions must be handed over to the customer once installation is complete.

Maintenance of the Appliance

The following procedures can and should be performed by the customer at regular intervals depending upon use of the appliance.

HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE

This appliance uses fuel effect pieces manufactured from Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF). Care must be taken to avoid excessive exposure to these materials as they may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, nose and throat. When Handling avoid inhaling and contact with skin and eyes. It is recommended that disposable gloves are worn in addition to a facemask and eye protection. After handling wash hands thoroughly and any other exposed parts which may have come in to contact with the material.

If a vacuum cleaner is used to clean the fuel bed or areas around the appliance there fragments of the material may have fallen it is recommended that it be of the type fitted with a HEPA filter.

Care should be taken when disposing of RCF materials. It is important to keep any dust to a minimum so it is recommended that the fuel effect components are placed into a heavy duty plastic bag. The bag should be clearly labelled RCF WASTE. These materials are not classified as hazardous waste and should be disposed of at a site approved for the disposal of industrial waste.

Cleaning the Appliance

Fuel Bed

The fuel effect components supplied with this product are extremely fragile and must be handled with great care. The ceramics in this appliance are not covered by the warranty due to their fragility. This includes the RCF fibre boards in the fire box. These components will break or chip if not handled with the greatest of care.

Cleaning of these components should only be undertaken once the appliance is switched off and has been allowed to cool for a minimum period of one hour. The components should be lifted carefully piece by piece from the appliance and placed onto a dust sheet or similar. They can be brushed gently with a soft brush to remove any dust or deposits. If you intend to use a vacuum cleaner then this should only be done once the loose deposits of soot etc have been removed. Ensure that the moulded components are structurally sound and no significant part of the moulding has broken away. If any component has broken then it should be replaced before using the appliance. Only the correct replacement part as supplied by the manufacturer shall be used in this appliance. Do not add any additional components to the fuel bed layout. It is important to note that small hairline cracks will appear in the surface of the ceramics due to heat expansion and contraction—this is perfectly normal.

Pilot

The pilot to this appliance has a small aeration hole at its base. Using a thin nozzle on a vacuum cleaner this area can be cleaned to prevent a lint build up. This procedure should only be undertaken when the appliance is off and cold. If excessive lint is drawn in through this hole due to infrequent cleaning then it may result in the appliance not lighting or turning itself off automatically due to a starvation of air at the pilot burner. This can often be remedied by performing the cleaning operation detailed here. If this procedure does not resolve such a problem then the pilot assembly will need to be replaced. This must involve the installation of the same part as supplied by the manufacturer. Excessive lint build up which results in appliance operational problems is not covered by warranty.

It is important to ensure this preventative maintenance is performed regularly (once a month during the winter period).

Cleaning the Appliance (continued)

Trim, Fret and Painted Metal Parts

There are a variety of trim and fret options which may have been supplied with your appliance and these are normally a plated material on a steel substrate. It is important that no abrasive cleaners or chemical agents are used in the cleaning of these components. It is recommended that all these surfaces including the painted metal parts are cleaned with a clean damp (not wet) cloth. Cleaning should only take place when the appliance is switched off and has been switched off for a minimum period of one hour.

The following procedures can and should only be performed by a Gas Safe registered installer.

This appliance should be serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered installer.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is available with two operating methods, namely manual control and slide control. The following instructions detail both methods of operation however the basic operation of the appliance involves the ignition of a pilot burner (See page 7 for spillage monitoring details—ODS), then the control of the main burner with LOW and HIGH settings.

This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. The fireguard should conform to BS8423 : 2002 (Fireguards or use with Gas Heating Appliances).

MANUAL CONTROL OPERATION

  1. Push the control knob in fully then rotate anti-clockwise to the [ignition symbol]. Now press the spark generator which should cause a spark at the pilot and the pilot should ignite. If the pilot does not light rotate the control knob to the OFF position and retry. If the pilot does not light on the second attempt then return the control knob to the OFF position and wait for 3 minutes.
  2. Once the pilot is lit keep the control knob pushed in fully for up to 30 seconds.
  3. Now release the control knob, the pilot should remain lit. If it goes out, wait for 3 minutes and return to step 1.
  4. To turn the appliance to the LOW setting, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the [flame symbol].
  5. To turn the appliance to the HIGH setting, turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the [flame symbol].

  7. To turn the fire off, press the knob slightly and turn to the [ignition symbol] (for pilot only) or [off symbol] to turn off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Should the spark generator fail to provide a spark at the electrode it may be that a small amount of soot has fallen from the fuel bed onto the pilot assembly, causing a short circuit. If this is the case, ensuring the appliance is off and cold, this area can be cleaned with the thin nozzle from a vacuum cleaner. It is also possible to light the pilot burner with a long taper whilst the control knob is being held in at the [ignition symbol].

SLIDE CONTROL OPERATION

  1. Push the control lever down fully to the [ignition symbol]. The spark generator should cause a repetitive spark at the pilot and the pilot should ignite. If the pilot does not light after 10 seconds then lift the control lever upwards to the [off symbol] and wait for 3 minutes.
  2. Once the pilot is lit keep the control lever pushed down fully for up to 30 seconds.
  3. Now slowly lift the control lever to the [flame symbol], the pilot should remain lit and the burner will be in the LOW setting. If it goes out, wait for 3 minutes and return to step 1.
  4. To set the appliance to the HIGH setting, lift the control lever upwards to the [flame symbol].
  5. It is also possible to adjust the control knob between the [flame symbol] and the [flame symbol] symbols to achieve a mid setting.
  6. To turn the fire off, lift the lever to the [off symbol] to turn off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Should the spark generator fail to provide a spark at the electrode it may be that a small amount of soot has fallen from the fuel bed onto the pilot assembly, causing a short circuit. If this is the case, ensuring the appliance is off and cold, this area can be cleaned with the thin nozzle from a vacuum cleaner. Alternatively check the battery is in good condition—the battery access cover is at the base of the appliance just left of centre. (Slide models only).

It is also possible to light the pilot burner with a long taper whilst the control knob is being held in at the [ignition symbol].

FUEL BED LAYOUT (COAL)

The following instructions detail how the ceramic fuel bed and loose components are to be installed onto the appliance. Great care should be taken when handling these ceramic parts as they are fragile and can easily be broken. Do not force any component into position, if it does not fit easily then you are not fitting the part correctly. These instructions can also be followed to remove or reinstall the fuel bed after cleaning. This is a procedure that can be undertaken by the customer as required and the frequency will be depend upon use. See pages 8 and 9 for glass panel removal and installation.
