During the installation, do not substitute or use materials or components other than those supplied for use with the vented gas fire log set.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXYDE POISONING MAY LEAD TO DEATH

When used without proper levels of combustion air, vented gas log sets may give off carbon monoxide, an odorless, colorless, poisonous gas. Certain people such as: pregnant women, or suffering from heart or liver disease, anemia, or intoxicated by alcohol, or residing at high altitude are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. Some symptoms related to carbon monoxide poisoning resemble flu symptoms, or painful headaches, or dizziness and/or nausea. If you or anybody else in your household shows these symptoms, the gas log set may not be installed or operating properly and/or the chimney may be obstructed or blocked.

IMMEDIATE ACTION: OPEN A WINDOW AT ONCE TO GET SOME FRESH AIR AND SHUT OFF THE GAS LOG SET IMMEDIATELY.

Before using it again, have the gas log set and the chimney checked by a licensed gas fitter. To prevent recurrence of these problems, have a licensed heating contractor install an outdoor combustion air intake leading to the room where the combination fireplace/gas log set is installed.

Installation of a Vented Gas Fire Log Set

A vented gas log set shall not be installed in a confined space or in a building with unusually tight construction unless provisions are made for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

A building with unusually tight construction is defined as structure where:

• Exposed walls and ceilings have a 1 permanent continuous vapor barrier with openings gasketed or sealed.
• Weather stripping has been added to windows and doors.
• Caulking has been applied to joints around windows and door frames, between sole plates, floors, wall-ceiling joints, wall panels, penetrations for plumbing, electrical wires, gas lines, vents, and other openings.

To determine if the area where the vented gas log set is to be installed is an unconfined space, use the following formula: Length x Width x Height (min. 2.4m) x 20 = Maximum Input Building Squares Allowed. Rooms communicating directly with the space, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered part of the unconfined space. To install a vented gas log set of a capacity of 16.2 kW/hr, the room volume must be at least 78 m³.

To determine the minimum permanent free opening required by the smoke pipe damper to vent flue gases, follow Table 1. If the free opening is smaller than the specified area, do not install the vented gas fire log set. The smoke pipe damper must be fixed to maintain the minimum permanent vent opening at all times.

Note: Minimum chimney height with a vented gas log set is 4.6m.

Warning Regarding Operation

The vented gas log set is designed as an attended appliance and can only be operated in the presence of adults. Do not operate unattended, or in the presence of unattended children (especially those under 8 years of age), or while anyone is sleeping. Do not place stockings, clothing, or any flammable material above or near the fireplace.

The fireplace and vented gas log set function as a system. If flames or combustion gases spill out of the fireplace into the room (check with a match or smoke stick), ensure no exhaust fans, exhaust hoods, or clothes dryers are creating negative pressure within the home; if so, shut them down. If the condition persists with all fans off, the flue damper must be readjusted by a licensed gas fitter to a larger opening until a positive draft is obtained.

Fireplace systems that do not draft properly can increase soot production and, in extreme cases, cause soot deposition within the room. This can indicate a blocked chimney, a faulty vent system, or negative air pressure within the home. A licensed gas fitter can diagnose and resolve such issues.

Warning: Do not use the vented gas fire log set and its associated fireplace if any part has been submerged in water. Immediately call a licensed gas fitter to inspect and replace any submerged parts, including the gas valve, burner tubes, pilot, igniter, and all gas control system components.

Caution: Do not place furniture or other objects around the fireplace that will obstruct the flow of combustion air. Maintain a minimum clearance of 1.2m to all objects around the fireplace. Keep the room where the fireplace is situated clear and free from combustible material. Gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids must be stored in sealed containers in a well-ventilated room or structure that does not adjoin the room where the fireplace is situated. The fireplace firescreen must always be installed when using the gas log set.

4. Operation & Maintenance

Operation & User Guide

Lighting the Fire

The positions of the control valve are depicted on the control panel fitted around the control knob.

If the main burner or pilot light are extinguished for any reason, do not attempt to re-light the pilot within three minutes.

The 'off' position prevents any gas from passing through the control valve to either the pilot burner or to the main burner.

By pressing the control knob in, it can be turned anti-clockwise. The first function turns on the gas to the pilot, occurring just before the pilot position. (If the fire has not been lit for some time, it may be necessary to hold the knob in this position for some seconds to clear air from the pipe and allow gas to reach the pilot burner). Once gas is available at the pilot, continual anti-clockwise rotation will cause the piezo ignitor to spark. This is accompanied by a click at the valve, and should result in the pilot burner igniting. This should be verified by looking at the left-hand side of the fire tray, behind the coal piece.

Once the pilot is lit, the control knob should continue to be pressed in for 10-20 seconds. During this time, the pilot flame will have heated the flame supervision thermocouple sufficiently to operate a hold on the magnet within the valve. The knob should then be turned so that the pointer is approximately horizontal. This allows gas at a low rate to enter the burner and be ignited by the pilot flame. Once the fire has fully cross-lit, allow approximately 15 seconds at this setting for the flame to fully establish before setting to any level between Maximum and Minimum by adjusting the control knob accordingly.

To turn off the main burner, turn the control to MIN - press the knob gently until it can turn clockwise to the pilot position. To turn off the pilot, press the knob and turn to off.

If burnback occurs underneath the burner, turn the control knob to the off position. Then re-light the fire. If this problem re-occurs, switch off the unit and call your gas installer.

Sequence to Light

1. From off, press the control knob in and turn slowly anti-clockwise.
2. When the ignition click occurs, check that the pilot is lit (if not, repeat steps 1 & 2).
3. Hold knob in for 10 - 20 seconds.
4. Release knob and check pilot remains alight.
5. Turn knob until pointer is horizontal. The fire should then ignite.
6. Let fire fully cross-ignite and allow approximately 15 seconds.
7. Adjust flames to the required level without pressing the knob.

Sequence to Extinguish

1. Turn control knob clockwise to the minimum position.
2. Press knob gently until able to continue turning clockwise to the pilot position.
3. To extinguish the pilot, press knob and turn to off, although it is in order to leave the pilot permanently lit.

Precautions for the First Ignition

The fresh paint on the fireplace needs to be cured to preserve its finish and quality. For the first 40 hours of operation, only burn fire on a low setting.

Paint

It is strongly recommended that no person(s) come into contact with the external faces of the appliance without protection (gloves), to avoid marking the paint surface prior to it being cured. The paint will polymerize after several fires. Do not scrub or clean the fireplace with any rough surface (such as a sponge). In case of accidental scratches, make several fires until the paint is cured, at which time you can delicately clean the outside of the appliance with a hot sponge. Do not scratch or rub the fireplace while it is lit. Contact with the fireplace should be kept to a minimum. Do not paint the fireplace using products NOT recommended by the supplier; please contact Sculpt Fireplace Collection for further assistance.

Ventilation

A strong burning smoke odor may be smelt during the first several fires. It is therefore recommended to ventilate the premises by opening windows and doors for the paint to cure. This phenomenon will disappear after these initial burn cycles.

Safety

For safety reasons, assemblies of appliances and accessories not provided or recommended by JC Bordelet or Sculpt Fireplaces are NOT PERMITTED and will void any warranties. Unsuitable equipment may cause dysfunctions and disorder upon use.

Maintenance

It is recommended an annual service is carried out every 12 months for the appliance to meet standards.

Results

The maximum carbon dioxide output of the EVA 992 / TATIANA 997 / ZELIA 908 was performed at the high burn rate prescribed in AS/NZS4013 (2014) and gave a maximum carbon dioxide output of 3.2% (by volume). And 2.8% (by volume) for the LEA 998.
