1. SAFETY AND UNPACKING

Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the

following guide to manual handling.

The lifting weight (kg) of this appliance is as below:

Model Heat Engine Firefront Combined Weight

Adorn 11.5 16.6 28.1

Visage 11.5 5.5 17.0

Icon 11.5 3.5 15.0

Dream 11.5 13.35 24.85

Eternal 11.5 3.45 14.95

Decadent 11.5 4.0 15.5

Obsession 11.5 3.25 14.75

One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If for any reason this weight is

considered too heavy then obtain assistance.

When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.

Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.

Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst

handling the fire.

Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.

Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the

cantilever action.

Use gloves to provide additional grip.

Always use assistance if required.

This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing

Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.

Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and

respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these

articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the

release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation

and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any

dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on the

fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not

broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as

RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and

may be disposed at a landfill licenced to accept such waste. Protective clothing is

not required when handling these articles, but we recommend the use of suitable

gloves to prevent irritation. We also recommend you follow the normal hygiene

rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your

hands before eating or drinking.

This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or

asbestos related products.

2. APPLIANCE DATA AND EFFICIENCY

2.1 General information.

*When converted using kit 0595211.

The appliance information label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can

be seen by lowering the bottom front cover of the fascia.

2.2 Efficiency.

The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and

the result is as below :

Model Efficiency % (Gross)

940 58

940 when converted to LPG. 61

The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The

test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by Advantica

Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK

Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.

The conversion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net

efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding

down to the nearest whole number.

3. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Regulations, Standards and Law.

The installation must be in accordance with these instructions.

For the user’s protection, in the United Kingdom it is the law that all gas appliances

are installed by competent persons in accordance with the current edition of the Gas

Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Failure to install the appliance correctly

could lead to prosecution. GAS SAFE REGISTER and CORGI require their members

to work to recognised standards.

In the United Kingdom the installation must also be in accordance with:

All the relevant parts of local regulations.

All relevant codes of practice.

The relevant parts of the current editions of the following British Standards:-

BS EN 1856 Part 1 - Chimneys - Requirements for metal chimneys.

BS 715 - Specification for metal flue boxes for gas-fired appliances not

exceeding 20kW.

BS EN 1858 - Chimneys - Components - Concrete flue blocks.

BS EN 1806 - Chimneys - Clay / ceramic flue blocks.

BS EN 1856 Part 1 - Chimneys - Requirements for metal chimneys.

BS 5440 Part 1 - Installation of flues.

BS 5440 Part 2 - Installation and maintenance of flues and ventilation for gas

appliances of rated input not exceeding 70 kW net (1st, 2nd

and 3rd family gases).

BS 6461 Part 1 - Masonry chimney & flues - Installation

BS 1251 - Fireplace components

BS 5871 Part 2 - Installation - Inset LFE gas fires

BS 6891 - Gas pipework installation

In England and Wales, the current edition of the Building Regulations issued by the

Department of the Environment and the Welsh Office.

In Scotland, the current edition of the Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations

issued by the Scottish Executive.

In Northern Ireland, the current edition of the Building regulations (Northern

Ireland) issued by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland.

INSTALLER GUIDE

Gas Conversion factor from net to gross efficiency

Natural Gas 0.901

LPG 0.921

Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant

British Standard Code of Practice.

3.2 Ventilation requirements.

Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation

requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2

and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic Gas

Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that

sufficient ventilation is available.

3.3 The Atmosphere sensing device (ASD).

The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the appliance

closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer should

be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have been

thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable

amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances

should the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers

replacement part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not

replaceable.

3.4 Fireguard requirements.

A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young

children, the elderly, the infirm or pet animals.

3.5 Room considerations.

3.5.1 This appliance must not be installed in any room that contains a bath or shower

or where steam is regularly present.

3.5.2 An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in

any area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe

performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on

in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be

installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.

3.5.3 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by

heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.

Please bear this in mind when installing.

3.6 Chimney preparation.

3.6.1 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that was previously

used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should

be inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
