INSTALLER GUIDE
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

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.
