7.5 Flat fronts (All others) - Place 3 large coals and 4 small coals
onto the front coal moulding ensuring that they rest against the
decorative front, these should run intermittently small, large,
small etc. See diagram 5.
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.
5
RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and
may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.

COMMISSIONING
1. COMMISSIONING
1.1 Close all windows and doors to the room, check all controls,
and allow fire to burn on maximum for 5 minutes. Test for
spillage of flue products using a smoke match. For standard
VFC fires, pass the lighted smoke match along the top front
edge just inside the opening or canopy. For the RD VFC only,
hold the lighted smoke match centrally inside the flue
opening. See diagram 1 for Radiant fires and 2 for Convector
fires.

AR0179
1.2 If the fire spills, run for a further 10 minutes and re-check. If
there is still spillage, disconnect the fire and seek expert
advice.
1.3 If there are extractor fans in the room or adjacent rooms, the
spillage test must be repeated with the extractors running on
maximum.
1.4 For RD VFC: If spillage is detected and no air vent is fitted in
the room, re-check for spillage with a window slightly open. If
this cures the spillage, it will be necessary to fit a vent.
IF SPILLAGE PERSISTS, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AND
SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.
For future reference record the installation details on the
commissioning sheet on page 4 of these instructions.

SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be serviced at least one a year by a
competent person.
FLAME FAILURE FUNCTIONAL CHECK
PILOT WILL NOT STAY LIT OR FIRE GOES OUT
1. SERVICING REQUIREMENTS
If the appliance goes out in use continually, this may mean
that the
oxygen depletion sensor has been activated. The appliance
should not be used
1.1 As part of the annual service, the space behind the convector
must be inspected for any debris, which may have fallen down
the chimney.
until the cause has been found and rectified.
1.2 Remove the gas fire from the convector as detailed in section 4
Ensure there is no debris around the pilot assembly, e.g.
coal, soot, etc.
Check for fluff in the pilot aeration hole. See diagram 7.
1.3 Remove the convector box from the wall, see section 5 in
Installation.
1.3 Inspect the space behind the convector for debris and the
condition of the chimney, the flue flow test should be carried
out now. Remove any debris and carry out any necessary
remedial work.

Note: Many problems can be attributed to poor pilot flame length
caused by blocked jets as the orifice is very small. If the flame
length is much shorter than that shown in the diagram, the pilot
may have to be changed. See diagram 7.
YES
It is always worth using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner over the
end of the pilot to ensure that it has no debris within it. In
addition, many ignition problems are caused by incorrect spark
gap, ensure it is set as in diagram 7.
