Description

This Royal Cozy Fires Decorative Fuel Effect gas fire has been developed to give a realistic coal burning appearance with the instant control and convenience of gas. The fire has been constructed to enable it to be installed into most applications (using the optional spacer frame) where the warmth and comfort of an open fire with high radiant heat is required. This appliance is intended for decorative purposes and the coal bed uses ceramic simulated (coals) to give a realistic appearance and to allow secondary air to be entrained into the bed to ensure clean combustion. An aerated single ported steel burner is used running parallel across the front of the fire. A combined gas control and piezo igniter with a variable high to low setting is used, this is fitted with a Flame Supervision Device (FSD). This is to ensure that should the pilot flame be extinguished for any reason, (including turning off the appliance) the gas supply to the burner is cut off until a full lighting sequence is repeated. The Piezo igniter is used to ignite an Oxy-Pilot sensor (ODS) which will cause the appliance to (shut off) in the event of continued spillage occurring under hazardous or blocked flue conditions. The fire bed consists of ceramic fibre components and coals all of that are removable for cleaning purposes when required. It is important when relaying the coal-bed and coals to follow the instructions correctly.

This appliance is suitable for installations into the following flues: 7" minimum diameter flues (CLASS 1)

5" minimum diameter flues (CLASS 2),

Pre-cast flues to BS 1289 Pt 1 1986 (when spacer frame is fitted).

The installations must always be used in conjunction with a suitable hearth and surround (refer to page 5 for further details).

Important Notes

A hearth must always be provided to project forwards of the brass trim a minimum of 300mm and a minimum of 150mm either side of the fire opening. The hearth must be a minimum thickness of 12mm with a perimeter height of 50mm to deter combustible materials, carpets etc., being placed on the hearth. The area under the firebox must have a minimum non-combustible thickness of 25mm.

The appliance is fitted with an ODS, a spillage monitoring system which operates if the evacuation of products is interrupted (i.e. blocked or incorrect flueing). If the gas fire repeatedly ‘goes out’ it may indicate a problem and the installer or specialist should be informed before further use.

Areas of this appliance will become hot after prolonged running and it is recommended that for the protection of the very young, elderly and infirm a fireguard conforming to BS 6539 or BS 6778 be used.

Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or decor e.g. many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if located close to the appliance. Clearances required for combustible shelves are shown in page 3.

Care should be taken to ensure that when the appliance is installed into a Pre-cast flue, the chimneybreast is lined to prevent the plaster etc. cracking through excessive temperatures.

In most installations a back panel will be required, this will also need a minimum fire resistance rating of Class O (100 O C).

This product uses fuel effect pieces, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.

A range of fronts and frets are available for use with this appliance, these have perforated frets to allow air to be drawn into the coal bed for combustion and over the controls for cooling purposes. If other fronts and frets are to be used they must have a minimum open area in the fret of 20sq cms and 60sq cms in the front. See Fig. 11.

The chimney or flue (unless new) must be swept before installation. It should be checked annually for satisfactory clearance of products and that there is no excessive build up of soot.

TO LIGHT THE APPLIANCE

1.Remove the Fret (Controls cover), to gain access to the controls.

2.Press and turn the gas control anti-clockwise, keep the control fully depressed. The igniter will operate and the pilot will light, if not repeat the operation.
