READ THIS FIRST
This appliance is supplied as a complete suite of enclosure of gas fire burner
unit, enclosure and fascia. To comply with the approval this fire must be
installed as designed.
• Gas Supply: DO NOT INSTALL THE APPLIANCE UNTIL A PIPE
WORK FLOW RATE CHECK HAS BEEN DONE. INCORRECT
PRESSURE WILL CAUSE THE FIRE TO FAIL THE COMISSIONING
CHECK. This is a high power appliance and the inlet pressure “at the test
point in the fire” with the fire operating on full must pass the
commissioning test. Failure to observe this will mean the fire is unreliable
and possibly dangerous.
o Gas Flow Rates:
 NATURAL GAS = 1.6 M3/HOUR
 LPG/PROPANE = 0.8 M3/HOUR
o Note on the LPG Version: If running this appliance from Gas
Bottles the minimum requirement is 2 x 47Kg bottles with a
regulator set to the required pressure and a changeover valve.
Failure to do this will result in nuisance shutdowns especially in very
cold weather
• Room Ventilation: This fire requires a 100cm2 free air wall vent in the
room in which it is installed.
• Fascia & Burner Ventilation: There is an optional trim which can be
fitted to the fire. This can also be used to allow a hidden vent to provide
ventilation to the burner. If the fascia is not fitted an additional vent may
be required to be designed – see page 35.
• Gather:
An optional gather is available to attach the enclosure to a
175mm class 1 flue liner. This gather should be ordered with the
appliance however if this has been missed this can be ordered from
Customer Services on 01325-327221.
• Flue System:
This fire is approved for use with a class 1 or 175mm flue
of 2 meters for Natural Gas or 3 meters for LPG minimum length. If a flue
system in excess of the specified length is used this may cause a very
strong draw to occur which will result in the flame being adversely
effected and forced towards the back of the enclosure. This is unavoidable
and is a site specific condition and does not indicate an appliance fault.
• Flame: As stated above, it is normal with this type of appliance for the
flame to be directed towards the back of the enclosure. This will be
worse where the fire is installed without the official gather and with a long
flue.
• Remote Heat Shield: This fire is approved with the heat shield in place.
The fire should never be operated without the heat shield; any resulting
damage caused by heat is not covered by the warranty.
