INSTALLER GUIDE 6.2 Appliance disassembly. 6.2.1 Fascia removal on the Decadent and Dream models (See figure 7). Remove the two screws securing the bottom of the fascia to the sides of the convection box. Raise the fascia to allow the retaining lugs at the top to clear the slots in the convection box hood and then lift clear. Place the fascia in a safe place away from your immediate work area. 6.2.2 Fascia removal on the Chic model (See figure 8).
INSTALLER GUIDE 6.2.3 Window and ceramic fuel effect removal (All models). Unscrew and remove the three spring loaded window fixing screws and bushess from the base of the window frame (See figure 9). Keep the screws and bushess in a safe place. Gently swing the base of the window frame forward while lifting the frame upward. The window should lift clear of the fire. Put the window in a safe place away from your immediate work area. Carefully remove the ceramic fuel effect in its packaging.
INSTALLER GUIDE 6.3.2 Check flame control motor. (See figure 11) Lift the plastic battery holder out of its metal support situated at the lower right corner. Fit the four 1.5V batteries and replace the battery holder. Place the fascia in front of the fire and connect the battery and motor leads. The motor lead connectors are two different sizes. They will only fit to the correct motor terminals. Depress the top half of the rocker switch located at the right side of the appliance case.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8. WALL PREPARATION 8.1 Select appliance position. The flue must be installed so that it is at right angles to the back panel of the fire all round the flue circumference. For timber framed buildings make sure that the flue opening will be between studs. When being recessed into a non-combustible wall or builders opening the fire itself should be fitted vertically against a flat wall.
INSTALLER GUIDE Make the opening below the lintel by removing the masonry and clearing debris. If the cavity has loose fill (e.g. granular) insulation material, pack the edges of the opening with Rockwool as you proceed to hold back the insulating material. 8.2.2 Preparing a wall cavity. The wall cavity must not be bridged other than by the flue unit. The appliance case must not project into the cavity between the inner and outer walls by more than 10mm.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.4 Cutting the flue hole for brick, stone etc. building. Cut the hole for the flue unit. Make sure that it is straight and level. Though a hammer and chisel can be used, using a core drill is by far the quickest and simplest method for normal brick work. Before cutting the hole in the wall make sure that the height to the top surface of the finished floor or hearth is known. The height from this surface to the flue hole centre is shown in figure 2.
INSTALLER GUIDE vapour control layer (VCL), if possible, cut the hole approximately 10mm undersize so that the sleeve will be forced through the layer. A recommended technique for cutting the inner leaf is shown in figure 14. Fit the non-combustible sleeve to the inner leaf. The sleeve must extend to be at least flush with the breather membrane / timber sheathing but must not protrude more than 10mm into the cavity.
INSTALLER GUIDE 8.6 Prepare appliance fixing holes. 8.6.1 Screwing case to wall. Recheck the position of the screw fixing holes relative to the flue hole. Drill the four fixing holes to a minimum depth of 42mm using a suitably sized masonry drill for the wall plugs supplied. Insert four plastic wall plugs. 8.6.2 Using cable retention. Thread the two tension cables through the appliance case side holes as shown in figure 15.

INSTALLER GUIDE 9.2 Fitting to wall. Fit the flue tubes firmly over the spigots at the rear of the fire. Make sure that the seam on the flue tube is not at the bottom. Push on until the outer (air) tube just covers the slots in the appliance outer spigot (See figure 18). Secure the flue to the fire by drilling through the outer flue tube and outer spigot at a distance of between 6mm & 7mm from the cut end of the outer flue tube and securing with the two self tapping screws supplied (See figure 18).
INSTALLER GUIDE 9.3 Fitting the terminal guard. Fold the terminal guard as shown in figure 19. Place the guard centrally over the flue terminal. Holding the guard in position and using it as a template, mark on the wall the positions of the four fixing holes. Remove the guard. Drill and plug the holes with the four plugs supplied. Replace the guard and refix with four woodscrews supplied. Figure 19. Terminal guard 10. GAS CONNECTION Connecting the gas supply pipe.

INSTALLER GUIDE 17. SERVICING & PARTS REPLACEMENT Always turn off the gas and allow the appliance to cool completely before commencing any servicing (The inlet ‘T’ connector on this appliance incorporates an isolating valve). Always test for gas soundness after refitting the appliance. This product uses a fuel effect, a burner compartment rear wall and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
INSTALLER GUIDE Chic The lower section of the fascia is secured with magnets. Remove this by pulling clear of the fascia (See figure 44). Remove the two tubular trim sets from the top and bottom of the fascia. To do this simply lift upward and forward (See figure 45). Unscrew and remove the two screws that secure the top of the fascia to the convection box (See figure 46). Figure 44. Removing the lower section of the ‘Chic’ fascia. Figure 45. Removing the ‘Chic’ hanging trims Figure 46.
INSTALLER GUIDE Unscrew and remove the two screws that secure the bottom of the fascia sides to the convection box (See figure 47). Remove the wiring loom connectors from the left hand side of the gas valve. Raise the fascia to allow the retaining lugs at the top to clear the slots in the convection box hood and then lift clear (See figure 47). Be careful not trap the wiring loom when lifting clear. Dream Remove the ash pan cover. Remove the firefront casting.
INSTALLER GUIDE should be against the window frame. Tighten sufficiently to seal to the firebox. Replace the fascia and castings. 17.3 To remove the ceramic fuel effect and rear wall. Remove the fascia (See section 17.1). Remove the window unit (See section 17.2) Lift out the ceramic fuel effect. Remove the rear wall by carefully sliding it upwards to clear the retaining channel and then swinging the top slightly forward. 17.4 To replace the ceramic fuel effect.
