The Slimline Turbo is a decorative gas fire which incorporates a horizontal flue that has been designed specifically to be used in applications that do not have a conventional chimney or flue but can be located so that the flue can terminate on an outside wall.
The fire is switched `ON’ and `OFF’ from a push button situated on the right hand top corner of the surround and is controlled by a fully modulating thermoselector thermostat. Once the desired room temperature that has been selected by the control has been reached, the gas input to the appliance is automatically reduced to low. The fire has been constructed to enable it to be installed into applications where the warmth and comfort of an open fire and high radiant heat is required. This appliance is intended for decorative purposes, 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 port steel burner is used running parallel across the front of the fire. A Flame Supervision Device (FSD) is fitted 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. A battery operated spark generator is used to ignite an Oxy/pilot sensor (O.D.S) 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.

IMPORTANT NOTES
This appliance is intended for decorative purposes, it is designed and manufactured to the relevant requirements of EN 509, BSI S.I.T. 8 and BS 5258 Pt 16 : 1991, it is for use on Natural Gas Only.
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. Combustible materials should not be put or left on the hearth nor should the coal bed be used to burn rubbish or other materials.
The type of front and fret recommended is shown as Fig 1 in this instruction, it has a perforated fret 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 50 sq. cms and 60 sq. cms in the front.
Additional purpose built ventilation is not required for this appliance in GB only, for Ireland (IE) ventilation is required with a minimal cross sectional area of 100 sq. cms and should be checked regularly to ensure that it is free from obstruction. It must be fitted in accordance with the rules in force.
Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the fire as some vinyl and embossed materials may be become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the radiant heat of the fire and from impinging the hearth area. The hearth must not be covered by any combustible materials such as carpets etc.
This appliance is fitted with an
In very strong wind conditions the fan may be heard to increase in speed, this is not detrimental to the operation of the appliance, as the increase is to extract those products that may be prevented leaving the flue by the wind. Exceptionally the fire may shut down and require relighting due to a sustained strong gust.
The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared.
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.
This fire will run for 4.4 hours on one therm of gas with the gas control on the high setting.
