7. ARRANGEMENT OF FUEl BED COMPONENTS
ADvICE ON hANDlING AND DISPOSAl OF FIRE CERAMICSThe 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. NOTE: CERAMIC PARTS ARE FRAGIlE
7.1 General
7.1.1 Your fire will be supplied either with a ceramic Coal, Log, Pebble or Driftwood effect This will have been specified at the time of ordering. With pebble fires follow coal layouts. With driftwood fires follow log layouts.

7.1.2 Positioning of ceramic parts is important, not only for the flame effect, but also for optimum performance of the appliance.
7.1.3 It is important that the coals and logs are placed so that there are gaps around each for the flames to pass through.
7.1.4 Ceramic coals or logs must only touch each other at single points, avoid whole sides touching.
7.1.5 Do not use any more ceramic components than those shown, extra parts supplied are spares and should be kept for future use.
7.1.6 The ceramic components should last about 2 years in normal use at which time it is recommended to replace them. Replacement parts can be bought from any stockist who supplies GAZCO fires, always state the model number found on the databadge.
7.1.7 The fuel layout of the Gazco made to measure fires is based on a simple system which is easily adapted to suit the different shapes and sizes available. The parts are supplied in various quantities depending on the size of the fire delivered. Check your coals, pebbles, driftwood and logs. If any are damaged, contact your Gazco stockist for replacements. Always ask for genuine Gazco parts.
7.1.8 Depending on the fuel effect that you have been supplied with, follow the correct section.

8. OxyGEN DEPlETION SENSOR
8.1 The appliance is fitted with an oxygen sensitive pilot system that will act to cut off the gas supply to the fire should the oxygen in the room fall below its normal level. If the fire is turned off by this device, it usually indicates that there is a problem with the flue system, and this should be inspected by a qualified engineer.
Do not attempt to use the fire until an engineer says it is safe to do so.
This device is not a substitute for an independently mounted carbon monoxide detector.
9.1 This is a safety feature incorporated in all GAZCO fires which automatically switches off the gas supply if the pilot goes out and fails to heat the thermocouple.
10. RUNNING IN
10.1 The surface coating on the coals used in your GAZCO fire will "burn off" during the first few hours of use producing a harmless and temporary odour. This will disappear after a short period of use. If the odour persists, ask your installer for advice.
11. SERvICING
11.1 The fire must be serviced every 12 months by a qualified Gas engineer. In all correspondence always quote the appliance type and the serial number which may be found on the databadge, adjacent to the control knob.

INSTAllATION INSTRUCTIONSSITE REQUIREMENTS
1. FlUE AND ChIMNEy REQUIREMENTS 1.1 The flue must be installed in accordance with all local and
national regulation and the current rules in force.
1.2 Fireplace opening up to 450mm (18") wide by 600mm (24") high will usually work with a 175mm (7") diameter flue. Larger openings will require bigger flues. See diagram 1 as a guide.
1.3 The chimney or flue must be free from any obstruction. Any damper plates should be removed or secured in the fully open position, and no restrictor plates should be fitted.
1.4 The chimney should be swept prior to the installation of the appliance - unless it can be seen to be clean and unobstructed throughout its entire length.
1.5 ensure that there is a smooth tapered transition from the fireplace opening into the chimney or flue.
1.6 The flue pull should be checked prior to installation of the appliance. Apply a smoke pellet to the flue or chimney opening and ensure that the smoke is drawn into the opening. If there is not a definite flow, pre-heat the chimney for a few minutes and re-test the flow.
IF ThERE IS STIll NO DEFINITE FlOW, ThE ChIMNEy MAy REQUIRE ATTENTION - SEEK ExPERT ADvICE.
2. INSTAllATION OF ThE GAS SUPPly
2.1 Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions (identification of the type of gas and pressure) and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
2.2 ensure that the gas supply is capable of delivering the required amount of gas, and is in accordance with the rules in force.
2.3 Soft copper tubing and soft soldered joints can be used, but must not be closer than 50mm (2") to the base of the tray.
2.4 A means of isolating the gas supply to the appliance must be provided independent of any appliance control.
2.5 All supply gas pipes must be purged of any debris that may have entered prior to connection to the appliance.
3. vENTIlATION
It is important to ensure that any national ventilation requirements are taken into account during the installation of this appliance.
3.1 All Gazco MTM fires with a heat input greater than 7kw require an air vent of at least 100 cm2 effective area or 4.5 cm2 for every kw over 7kw, whichever is the greater.
3.2 Fires with a heat input of 7kW or less do not normally require an air vent but some countries still demand ventilation so check local regulations. Decorative flame effect fires with a heat input greater that 20kW net require an extra 5cm2 ventilation per additional kilowatt (i.e. a 32kW fire requires 160cm2).
3.3 Those fires with a heat input of less than 7kw do not normally require an air vent but some countries still require ventilation, check local standards.

ADvICE ON hANDlING AND 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.

15.2 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.
15.3 If there are extractor fans in the room or adjacent rooms, the spillage test must be repeated with the extractors running on maximum.
15.4 For RD VeRSIONS: 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.
This appliance must be serviced at least once a year by a competent person.All tests must be serviced by best practice as described by the current Gas Safe recommendations.
1.1 Before any test are undertaken on the appliance, conduct a gas soundness test for the property to ensure that there are no gas leaks prior to starting work.
1.2 Before any tests are undertaken on the appliance it is also recommended to fully check the operation of the appliance.
FAUlT
a) Pilot will not light
b) No spark
c) Pilot will not stay lit or fire goes out in use
d) uneven flame pattern, for example to one side only.
e) Blue flame
f) Low flame height
g) Popping
CAUSE/POSSIbLEREMEDy
See Ignition Functional Check 1 See Ignition Functional Check 2
See Flame Failure Functional Check 1. The coals or logs may need adjusting to even the flame pattern.
1. The fire will burn blue on initial lighting, until the heat generated allows the gas to burn yellow, typically within 20 mins.
2. Insufficient gas pressure, check pressure setting.
3. The aeration plate may be set wrongly.
1. This may be caused by low gas pressure, therefore: Check gas pressure
2. The visual effect of these fires is controlled by the placing of the coals or logs, try slight adjustments.
1. Some popping will always be present - severe popping can be caused by incorrect burner pressure.
2. Not enough clay beads.
3. Try slight adjustments to the coal layout.
1.3 Special checks 1.3.1 Clean any lint or fluff from the pilot - pay particular
attention to the aeration hole in the side of the pilot
1.3.2 Clean away any fluff or lint from under the burner
1.3.3 Check that the spark gap on the pilot is correct
1.4 Correct any faults found during the initial tests and then re-commission the appliance conducting the usual safety checks.
1.5 Advise the customer of any remedial action taken.
