9 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 2.1 INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this modern Bellfi res gas fi re. This quality product will provide you with many years of enjoyment due to the fl ame effect and warmth that it provides. Please read the instructions for use carefully before using the appliance for the fi rst time. Keep this booklet in a safe place. 2.2 BUILT-IN PROTECTION OF THE APPLIANCE The appliance is fully protected by means of a thermo-electric pilot light shut off in the event of a gas escape from the main burner Safety Do not place embers, vermiculite granules, wood logs or pebbles against the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot fl ame can burn at all times freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper ignition of the main burner ensured. Ignoring these directions could lead to a dangerous situation. Do not place fl ammable objects within 100 cm of the appliance. Pay special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the fi re. When igniting the pilot light and burner, always keep a minimum distance of 100 cm from the front of the appliance. If the pilot fl ame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to re-light it. It is essential that the appliance, the complete concentric fl ue system and the outlet are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fi tter/gas specialist. The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed. For this, please refer to the (Chapter 2: Maintenance), that are supplied separately with each appliance. The gas fi re must never be used with the door open or the door glass removed. Instructions for use 9

10 Never place fl ammable material on the ceramic log set. The fi lling of the main burner with embers, vermiculite granules, wood logs or pebbles may not under any circumstances be changed or added to. Do not place easily-fl ammable materials, such as nylon clothing or fl ammable liquids, in the vicinity of the gas fi re. Ensure at all times that children and other people who are not aware of the operation of the gas appliance are only in the vicinity of the appliance exclusively under supervision. Use a fi reguard to protect the people and children mentioned above against possible burns. 2.3 OPERATION: REMOTE CONTROL 10 Instructions for use

11 2.3.1 General Read these instructions carefully before lighting the fi re!! The appliance is opperated by radio remote control. This comprises a hand-held transmitter and a receiver. The receiver is part of the gas control block assembly. The receiver and the gas control block are behind the (white) panel door (operating unit) next to the appliance. Press the door inwards to open; this will release the catch and the door will spring out. The hand-held transmitter and receiver are powered by batteries. Hand-held transmitter : 1x 9V battery. Receiver : 4x 1.5V battery type LR6 or AA. Option: 6V adapter (230 VAC). Available from your fi tter. Note: Hand-held transmitter and receiver are not interchangeable with previous models. The pilot light is situated in the front of the burner, behind a cowl. Should the pilot light go out, you must wait fi ve (5) minutes before attempting to re-ignite the fi re. Important Once the fi re is lit, it must burn at maximum for approx. 10 minutes to allow the chimney to come up to temperature! Hand-held transmitter The remote control works by radio signal. The hand-held transmitter is confi gured in the factory with a unique signal code. Figure 1: Hand-held transmitter Instructions for use 11

12 Set the display Connect the batteries. By simultaneously pressing OFF and (small fl ame), can be switched from F (and 12 hour clock) to C (and 24 hour clock), or vice versa.

The pilot light will remain lit. Switching off the appliance Press the O I switch on the gas regulating block to the O position. The pilot light will be extinguished. If the gas fi re is not going to be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to close the gas supply valve to the fi re. Important: If the pilot flame goes out for any reason, wait for 5 minutes before attempting to re-light it. Instructions for use 19

20 3 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME The gas fi re is coated with a lacquer layer resistant to high temperature. During the fi rst hours of operation, the burning in of the lacquer may result in an unpleasant smell. This is harmless, however. Operating the gas fi re at full capacity for a few hours, while ventilating the room, will eliminate the smell. After using your gas fi re for the fi rst few times, you may be aware of a light deposit on the inside off the glass. This is caused by the paint curing. Once your fi replace has cooled down, this deposit can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. 4 DAILY MAINTENANCE Ensure that as little dust, and as few particles of cigarette smoke, candles and oil lamps as possible pollute the air in the room in which the appliance is used. Heating of these particles by the convection system of the appliance could lead to discoloration of the walls and ceiling. It is therefore very important to ensure that the room in which the appliance is located is suffi ciently ventilated. Regularly remove any dust deposits from behind the (white) panel door (operating unit) by means of a vacuum cleaner. Important: Regularly clean the glass on the inside of the appliance with glass spray or ceramic hob cleaner. Attention!! If the glass is not cleaned on time, this can result in becoming dull and difficult, if not impossible, to clean. (See installation instructions for dismantling/assembling the glass.) If the glass is broken or cracked, it must be immediately replaced before operating the gas fire again. Ceramic heat-resistant glass may not be placed in the glass container, but must be included in normal household waste. If anything is spilt on the fi re, switch it off immediately and wait for it to cool down suffi ciently before cleaning. Never use scouring powder, aggressive cleaners or fi re polish on the gas fi re. Use only a dry lint free cloth. Heat resistant lacquer in aerosols can be obtained from your distributor. During the yearly maintenance, the lacquer can be used to repair small areas of damage. 20 Instructions for use

21 5 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE It is essential that the appliance, the complete concentric flue system (where possible) and the outlet are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fitter/gas specialist. The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed. Please refer also to the that are supplied separately with each appliance. Instructions for use 21

31 1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1.1 GENERAL The gas fi re must be positioned and connected as a room sealed system (balance fl ue) appliance by a Gas Safe Register registered gas installation engineer in accordance with the following installation instructions, nationally and locally applicable regulations (see Technical Details/ Regulations at the rear of this manual). If you have any queries regarding the installation, please consult your local gas company. Important: Before beginning the installation, check that the details on the rating plate correspond to the gas type and pressure to which the appliance will be connected. The appliance is factory set to the correct nominal heat input. The pilot light is set to the correct level of consumption. The appliance has a Ø130 mm - Ø200 mm concentric connection for extracting the fl ue gases and supply of combustion air. It is possible to install the gas fi re with either a wall or roof outlet. The roof connection must be carried out using the concentric fl ue system Ø100 mm - Ø150 mm. The fumes are exhausted naturally to the outside environment through the inner Ø100 mm pipe whereas the combustion air supply passes between the Ø100 mm and Ø150 mm pipes. The wall connection must be carried out using the concentric fl ue system Ø130 mm - Ø200 mm. The fl ue gases are evacuated outside by means of natural draft through the internal pipe of Ø130 mm, whereas the combustion air is supplied between the pipes of Ø130 mm and Ø200 mm. The wall outlet itself is Ø100 mm - Ø150 mm. The gas fi re can be installed in a completely sealed or mechanically ventilated house without extra ventilation and/or fume extraction. The gas fi re can be installed as an insertion into an existing open fi re place or as a built-in appliance in a new fi re place. In order to prevent the fireplace heating up excessively, it must be properly ventilated by installing vents at the top and bottom of the fi replace. If an existing chimney is to be used, please consult your installer fi rst. If the chimney was previously used for a wood or coal fi re, then it should be cleaned by an expert. 7

Wall-mounted outlet: >0.5 m Figure 2: Wall-mounted outlet This must be positioned at least 0.5 m from: the corner of the building. the roof overhang, the rain gutter. balconies etc., unless the exhaust construction extends to at least the face of the protruding section. 10

35 Positioning the outlet to avoid affecting the surrounding area All listed distances in this section are no more than guidelines. For the exact minimum distances, please consult your national and local directives. Distance = minimum distance required for positioning of the outlet to avoid adverse effects with respect to: A. A ventilation opening serving an occupied room, a toilet or a bathroom. B. A heating air supply, when the supply fl ows through an occupied room. C. A window that can be opened and that is near an occupied room, a toilet or a bathroom. Roof-mounted outlet: To avoid adverse effects Distance: outlet - A, B or C At the same roof level. >3 m (*) At a different roof level. >1 m (*) At a lower positioned wall. >1 m At a higher sloping surface. >3 m (**) (*) If the required distance cannot be achieved, the outlet position rules take precedence. (**) If the required distance cannot be achieved, the position of the outlet must be at least 1 m above the highest facade/roof. 11

36 Wall-mounted outlet: To avoid adverse effects At walls in buildings with staggered heights. Distance: outlet - A, B or C Not permitted if A, B, or C are located above the outlet. On a wall - general. (*) Above the outlet: >2 m Below the outlet: >0.75 m Left and right of the outlet: >0.75 m At <1 m from the roof overhang. Beneath balconies, walkways etc. Beneath balconies, walkways etc. where the outlet extends to the front. >2 m >2 m from the underside of the protruding balcony or walkway. >2 m To the garden or on the terrace. >2 m to the outside space. (**) With respect to a facing wall. >2 m (if the distance from the facing wall is less, the criteria detailed for On a wall - general apply). Enquire at your local gas company for the regulations relating to outlets positioned opposite each other and outlet(s) in facade(s) that form an angle. (*) These minimum distances do not apply if there is an obstruction between the outlet and A, B and C that protrudes at least 0.5 m from the wall and has a length exceeding the distance. (**) This distance is not required if the outlet is situated at least 1 m higher than the intended area of the outside space. If the outlet has a clearance of less than 0.5 m from the hard surface of a public area at a height of less than 2 m, it must be fi tted with an effective protector. The mesh size of the guard must not affect the correct operation of the appliance. 12

37 1.6 GENERAL SERVICES The Fume Channel/Combustion Air Intake The combined fume channel and combustion air intake requires one of the following concentric fl ue system confi gurations. Important: Due to the high temperature of the outer walls (approx. 150 C), no flammable materials may be located or used in the vicinity of the flue system. The complete flue system, must therefore be sleeved with a heat resistant material after assembly. Ventilate the covered concentric flue by fitting a grid near the floor and ceiling (on each floor). Do not insulate the concentric flue. Use the universal wall/floor support Ø150 mm to attach the covering of the concentric flue system [Ø100 mm - Ø150 mm], see 1.6.2, drawing number Use as a wall support Use as a fl oor support Figure 3: Application universal wall/floor support Ø150 mm 13

The components of the concentric fl ue system of Bellfi res (M&G system), Poujoulat (PGI system) and Ontop (Metaloterm US system) may not be used together in one installation. Check whether the wall or roof termination kit to be used exactly matches one of those listed in this instruction book. 44

69 1.6.3 Gas connection Operation (gas regulating block (and receiver)) outside the appliance (in the operating unit): The gas connection is situated where the operating unit is built in near to the appliance. Use only gas piping with a minimum diameter of 1/2 and a shut-off valve Operating unit If the appliance is fi tted with an operating unit comprising gas control block and receiver, this will be located, once it has been built in, at a maximum of 50 cm from the left or right hand side of the appliance. 1.7 POSITIONING THE APPLIANCE Important: The fireplace is constructed on a sufficiently solid floor that can bear the weight of the appliance. Ensure a free space of at least 1 cm between the bottom of the appliance and the floor. Ensure that the temperature of the floor under and in front of the appliance can never rise above 85 C! Make use of a temperature protection plate (of nonflammable material) on the floor if necessary. Take care with a floor made of a flammable material. Never position the appliance directly against the rear wall, but always place an nonflammable insulation plate, at least 12 mm thick, between the appliance and the rear wall, with free space on either side of 2 cm. (Total ± 5 cm.) The rear wall must be made of nonflammable material. Never use combustible materials during the installation. Ventilate the fireplace, by allowing vents above and below the fireplace. During installation of the gas fire, a clearance of 3 mm should be maintained on all sides of the appliance to allow for expansion of the appliance during operation. 45

70 Do not insulate the appliance! Only the top and sides may be fitted with a strip of white, loose insulation wool (heat-resistant to 1000 C), width 15 cm max. to protect the wall. Do not use fibreglass or Rockwool, or any other sort of insulating material. These emit a pungent odour. This is considered extremely unpleasant. They may also cause discolouring of the column. Flammable materials, such as curtains, should not be placed in the vicinity of the gas fire. Minimum safe distance: 100 cm. Place vents in the chimney-breast for intake and outlet of air Figure 13: Use of ventilation of fireplace 46

71 Use the four adjustable legs to set the height of the appliance. See fi gure Figure 14: Adjusting the built-in height of the appliance These adjustable legs can be reached after the window and the grill around the burner have been removed (see Chapter 4). Position the gas supply pipe such that it can be easily mounted after installation. Because the control system is outside the appliance, the gas pipe must lead to where the operating unit (built in), the gas regulating block (and the receiver) assembly are fi tted. Move the appliance until it is ± 5 cm from the rear wall and ensure it is level. Place the nonfl ammable insulation plate (min. 12 mm) between the appliance and rear wall. The appliance may not be installed against a fl ammable rear wall. Attach the appliance to the rear wall with 2 wedge bolts. Use the adjustable mounting brackets at the side of the appliance for this. 47

72 1.7.1 Connecting the gas Important: During gas connection, take care not to twist the gas regulating block. Make sure that both the gas regulating block and the supply pipes are not subjected to stresses. Appliance with operation in the separate operating unit (built in or otherwise):. The control unit and piping are supplied separately (fl at packed) Remove the decorative edging and door of the operating unit. Fit the separate operating unit with the gas control block and receiver max. 50 cm from the appliance. Adjust the operating unit using the two supports supplied. Frame with door (white) Operating unit Figure 15: Operating unit Connect the supplied Ø8/(Ø12.4) mm stainless steel fl exible gas pipe on one side under the burner plate with the compression coupling there. The connections for the main burner ((Ø8 mm stainless steel fl exible), pilot light (Ø4 mm stainless steel fl exible), thermocouple (thermocouple interrupter) and piezo cable can now be made at the gas regulating block in the operating unit. If the system has remote control, the piezo cable, the 8-terminal cable and the two thermocouple cables must be connected to the receiver (see fi gure 16 and Chapter 5: Electrical Diagram). Important: Using the hand, screw the thermocouple connection (and thermocouple interrupter) into the back of the gas regulating block. Carefully tighten another half of a turn using a fork spanner. See figure 16, 17 and Chapter 5. 48

Gas control block and piping supplied as an pre-assembly. First detach the bracket with the gas control block from the appliance. Fit the separate control unit max. 50 cm from the appliance. Fit the receiver in the top of the control unit. Connect the piezo cable, the 8-terminal cable and the two thermocouple cables to the receiver (see Chapter 5: Electrical Diagram). Carefully move the bracket with the gas regulating block and piping towards the control unit. Fit the bracket to the bottom of the control unit. Make sure that you do not damage any of the piping or detach any compression couplings while doing this. After you have done this, check the compression couplings for leaks. General: Route all piping and cables from the operating unit to the appliance through an easily accessible hollow cavity or a heat-resistant pipe of minimum Ø50 mm. During subsequent installation of the operating unit, protect the gas regulating block and piping against encasement by cement etc. Important: Cement and chalk can damage the piping and can, in turn, lead to gas leaks. 51

76 1.7.2 Connecting the concentric flue Assemble the concentric fl ue system according to one of the examples in section 1.6.1, fi gure 4 to 12 inclusive. Make sure that all connections are completely gas tight Building in the appliance The appliance is supplied from the factory with three decorative elements for the exterior of the fi replace: 1x horizontal support girder 1x vertical post Right 1x vertical post Left Before building in the appliance, carefully place the horizontal support girder (1) and then the two posts (2 and 3) as shown in fi gure 19. Note! : The girder and posts are made of a fragile fireproof material. Place carefully!!! Wear protective clothing to prevent possible allergic reactions Figure 19: Placing the girder and the Right and Left posts 52

77 The appliance can now be built in. First determine the places for the ventilation ducts (grills, at the top and bottom of the chimney breast). The appliance can be built in using brickwork or by means of fi re-resistant plates that are screwed to a metal frame. You can, if you like, erect a natural stone mantelpiece in front of this. The edge to which the materials for building in the appliance may be used: Top of hearth: Left/right of hearth: Bottom of hearth: Top edge: transition metal - glass. Up the to visible edge of the post L/R.: transition metal - post. Note! : Ensure that there is a clearence of 2 mm between the brickwork/ fireproof plate and the post to allow for expansion of the appliance due to heat. In addition, the posts should be at all time easily removable for maintenance to the appliance. Up to level with the top of the support girder. Note! : Ensure that there is a clearence of 2 mm between the brickwork/ fireproof plate and the girder to allow for expansion of the appliance due to heat. In addition, the girder should be at all time easily removable for maintenance to the appliance. The net opening in the wall that arises is approximately: 784 x 648 mm [W x H] The appliance is supplied with a straight pressed steel lintel as option to allow installation against a fl at wall or in a fi replace. A heat-resistant sealing cord should be placed between the top of the edge and the lower side of the lintel to allow vertical expansion of the appliance and to prevent cracking the fi replace. Do not use masking tape on the appliance when installing and plastering. Tape can damage the finish of the hearth. 53

78 The brickwork or the fi re-resistant sheet construction can now be continued to ceiling height. If using other materials, such as stone or heat-resistant plating, you should follow the supplier s instructions. Once the fi replace has been fi nished, you can now, fi t the frame with the small door to the operating unit. After installation in a new fireplace and/or applying new cement work, the appliance cannot be used for at least four weeks Checking the gas connection After connection of the gas supply, check that all connections are completely gas tight using soapy water or a leak tester Decorative walls and grill The appliance is supplied standard with a set of decorative walls and a grill. These are made of a fragile fi re-resistant material. Place the pieces carefully in the order 1 to 5 as shown in fi gure 20. Note! : The decorative walls and the grill are made of a fragile fireproof material. Place carefully!!! Wear protective clothing to prevent possible allergic reactions Figure 20: Fitting decorative walls and grill 54

79 1.7.6 Positioning the ceramic log set The appliance is delivered with a set of artifi cial wooden logs and embers. Important: Carefully place the embers and set of logs on and around the main burner according to the directions in this chapter. Do not place any embers or logs against the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot flame can burn at all times freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper ignition of the main burner ensured. Ignoring these directions could lead to a dangerous situation. Make sure that all burner orifices remains free at all times! The burner bed (with embers) and the positioning of the logs must not be changed. Only use those items supplied! These been rigorously checked and the quantities adapted to the appliance. Replacement parts are available from your dealer. Fitting may only be carried out by a qualified person. Once the front has been removed along with the glass plate, the embers can be placed on the burner and the ceramic log set can be put in position.

Please make sure that all burner orifices (small holes) are kept unblocked! Note! Small embers and their residue should not be scattered on the burner. This can cause a blockage on the burner orifices. 2. Place the logs around the burner: see fi gure 22. Don t place any logs on the burner! Do not block the pilot light Embers must not be placed next to the pilot light burner PROPANE: Keep the burner orifi ces unblocked Keep the burner orifi ces unblocked! Figure 22: Log set Vento Classic Medium Position propane/butane burner 58

83 Once the logs have been positioned, replace the glass in the appliance, following the instructions in chapter 4: DISMANTLING / ASSEMBLING THE GLASS, THE REGULATOR AND BURNER Mounting flue gas restriction plate Depending on the length and shape of the concentric fl ue system and the chimney construction, you should, if indicated, fi t a restriction plate with a certain width (B) into the ceiling of the combustion chamber. To do this, see the set-up options as listed in fi gure 4 through 12. Important: Ensure that the correct flue gas restriction plate is mounted. Use of the correct flue gas restriction plate will provide optimum efficiency, flame effect and combustion. Mounting an incorrect flue gas restriction plate can result in damage to the gas fire. Assembly restriction plate Figure 23: Positioning restriction plate 59

84 The following restriction plates are supplied: VENTO CLASSIC MEDIUM B Restriction plate: 1: Width: B = 40 mm 2: Width: B = 65 mm 3: Width: B = 90 mm Checking the appliance following installation After installation, visually check the gas fl ame. When the fi re is ignited, the fl ames should be short and blue/yellow in colour. These fl ames should gradually increase in height and become more yellow. When all fl ames are yellow, the gas fi re has reached the correct temperature. THE GAS FIRE IS NOW READY FOR USE 60

85 2 MAINTENANCE 2.1 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE It is essential that the appliance, the complete concentric flue system (where possible) and the outlet are cleaned and inspected annually by a recognised fitter/gas specialist. The safe operation of the appliance will thus remain guaranteed. Maintenance consists of the following: Remove fi rst the embers and logs set from the main burner and carefully clean these with a soft brush. Clean and inspect (visually) the main burner, pilot light, combustion chamber, fl ue system and combustion air intake. Dust can be removed using a vacuum cleaner. Clean the glass on the inside of the appliance with glass spray or ceramic hob cleaner. After cleaning; Carefully replace the embers and logs set on and around the main burner according to the installation directions in this instruction booklet. Do not place any embers or logs against the pilot light burner. Make sure that the pilot flame can burn at all times freely over the main burner. Only in this way is proper ignition of the main burner ensured. Ignoring these directions could lead to a dangerous situation. Check the gas supply, fl ue system, and combustion air supply route for leaks. Check the correct operation of the gas regulating block, thermocouple circuit and the ignition of the main burner. Check the gas inlet-pressure (both when the appliance is off and when it burns at maximum) and the burner pressure. Check the complete concentric fl ue system including the outlet construction. A camera can be used to inspect the whole length of the fl ue gas outlet and the combustion air intake. Also check that all connections are secure. 61

86 3 FAULTS 3.1 POSSIBLE REASONS Possible reasons for the gas fi re going out are: The concentric fl ue system is not installed according to one of the methods detailed in Paragraph 1.6. An incorrect fl ue gas restriction plate is fi tted. The pilot light extinguishes if fumes are not exhausted or are insuffi ciently exhausted. The pilot light is either dirty or defective. Insuffi cient gas pressure. (Internal) leak of the concentric fl ue system. Thermocouple voltage is too low. This is usually caused by insuffi cient heating of the thermocouple by the pilot light. Dirty electrical contacts in the thermo-electrical system; for example, the thermocouple connection. Batteries in receiver or remote control are fl at. 3.2 SAFETY MEASURE IN THE APPLIANCE Thermo-electric pilot light shut off The appliance is protected by means of a thermo-electric pilot light shut off in the event of a gas escape from the main burner. 62

87 4 DISMANTLING / ASSEMBLING OF THE GLASS, REGULATOR AND BURNER 4.1 DISMANTLING 1 Close the gas supply tap. 2 Remove the vertical Left and Right posts by lifting them and removing them sideways. 3 Remove the support girder by lifting it and pulling it out. Note! : The girder and posts are made of a fragile fireproof material. Place carefully!!! Wear protective clothing to prevent possible allergic reactions. 4 Unscrew with several turns the 2 adjustment screws (to fi x the door) left and right below. Slide the left adjustment screw completely to the left and the right adjustment screw completely to the right. 5 The door is now only resting on two supports, Left and Right. Lift the door slightly, pull it forward, and lower it carefully into the space below. The door can now be removed from the front. Use work gloves when removing the door! 6 Remove the log set and the embers. 7 Carefully remove the grill (around the burner). Avoid damaging the decorative walls! 8 Dismantling pilot light: Unscrew the 2 screws next to the pilot light. Remove the wind guard. Carefully pull the pilot light plate together with the pilot light upwards. You can now dismantle the fl exible pilot light pipe Ø4 mm, the thermocouple and piezocable from underneath. 9 Dismantling bottom plate including main burner: Unscrew the 8 bolts on the bottom plate; 6 bolts around the burner and 2 bolts against the inside front, left and right of the pilot light. You can now slide the bottom plate backwards, so that you can loosen the compression fi tting with the fl exible burner pipe Ø8 mm to the main burner at the front. 63

88 10 Dismantling main burner: Unscrew the 4 bolts that connect the main burner to the bottom plate. Loosen the compression fi tting with the mainburner pipe. You can now remove the main burner. 11 Dismantle all connections to the operating unit of the gas regulator block; Thermocouple, fl exible pilot light pipe Ø4 mm and fl exible burner pipe Ø8 mm. Uncouple the piezo cable from the receiver. You can now remove all components. 4.2 ASSEMBLY Assemble in the reverse order. Ensure that the bottom plate sealing cord and the glass plate mate correctly. Re-check all re-fi tted gas connections for leaks using soapy water or a leak tester. Loosen screws (2x) Door is released, drops and can be removed Figure 24: Vento Classic Medium 64
