Commissioning the Fire
This appliance requires a specific amount of ventilation to function as designed
(correct flame picture), therefore any unused utility access points in the burner
tray must be sealed with Aluminium foil tape. When installing the enclosure into
an existing chimney with a flue liner the enclosure & gather must be sealed to
the existing chimney to ensure that air cannot flow behind the enclosure.
Failure to do this will result in serious damage to the burner unit and enclosure.
This damage is not covered by the warranty.
TEST THE GAS PRESSURE. Turn the fire on full; attach a manometer to the
inlet test point and ensure there is a pressure of 20mbar (+/- 1mbar) for
natural gas appliances or 37mb for propane appliances. Now turn on all the
other gas appliances in the house and re check pressure. The pressure must
still be in the tolerance of +/- 1mb. Now turn off all the other gas appliances
and turn the fire down to pilot only, the pressure must still be in the tolerance
of +/- 1mbar. If it is not, TRANSCO, BORD GAIS or the propane supplier must
be called to adjust the governor to the house before the fire can be
commissioned further.
For propane appliances, in order for the fire to operate consistently at
least 2 x 47Kg bottles must be used with a changeover valve to
maintain the inlet pressure at 37mBar.
The installer must check that all of the combustion products are entering the
flue after 10 minutes by traversing the perimeter of the fireplace using a smoke
(match).
Note: This fire must never be operated without the heat shield in place
over the Black Box. Failure to do this will result in serious damage to
the remote system which will not be covered by the warranty.
