3.6 The flue system may now be connected to the stove. Ensure

that all joints are sealed with a suitable fire resistant sealant.

It is also recommended that a physical retention method be

used at the flue spigot joint, self-tapping screws being

favoured.

on the inlet fitting, and turn the gas supply on. Light the

appliance and check all gas joints for gas soundness. Turn

the appliance to maximum and check that the supply

pressure is as stated on the databadge. Turn the gas off and

replace the test point screw. Turn the gas on and check the

test point for gas soundness.

4. HANDLING & DISPOSAL OF FIRE CERAMICS

The fuel effect and side panels in this appliance are made

from Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), a material which is

commonly used for this application.
Protective clothing is not required when handling these

articles, but we recommend you follow normal hygiene rules

of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and

always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
To ensure that the release of RCF fibres are kept to a

minimum, during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered

vacuum is recommended to remove any dust accumulated

in and around the appliance before and after working on it.

When servicing the appliance it is recommended that the

replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within

heavy duty polythene bags and labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste

and may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary

irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; wash hands

thoroughly after handling the material.

5. FUELBED ARRANGEMENTS

Remove the cast iron door using the tool provided. The

main ceramic components are inside the firebox.
NOTE: THE CAST IRON DOOR IS HEAVY, TAKE EXTREME

CARE WHEN HANDLING TO AVOID DAMAGING THE

OUTER CASING.
The fuel bed consists of 5 logs and 2 ash panels. The logs

have letters A,B,C,D and E moulded into them for

identification.

5.1 Take the rear log A and place it up against the rear of the

fire sitting on the two flat ledges of the burner. The two legs

of the log should sit between the rear burner ports. See

diagram 3. Ensure an equal gap between each side of the

log and the side of the firebox.

5.2 Place log B on the left-hand side of the burner with the

location bar on the underside of the log fully located in the

long slot of the burner. Make sure the log is as far to the left

as possible. See diagram 4.

5.3 Place log C on the right-hand side of the burner with the

location bar on the underside of the log fully located in the

long slot in the burner. Make sure the log is as far right as

possible. See diagram 5.
