9.0 MOUNTING THE APPLIANCE - continued
Before tightening
Figure 3
the wall mounting
screws fully, at this
stage it is
recommended to
check the
horizontal
alignment of the
appliance with a
spirit level, as
small adjustments
can still be made if
necessary. When
this has been
checked, tighten
all four fixing
screws fully.
To access the
upper fixing
screws insert a
screwdriver either
through the round
holes in the front of the outlet grille (as shown in figure 3), or
alternatively for easier access the outlet grille may be removed and the
fixing screws accessed more directly through the holes in the deflector
baffle as shown in figure 4.

10.0 CHECKING THE BURNER

There are no imitation fuel bed components to install. The appliance
features a ribbon burner which is designed to produce a continuous
band of flame over its length. The burner should be visually inspected
to ensure it is free from any foreign matter. If it is necessary to clean or
dust off the burner then the glass door should be removed by removal
of the four retaining screws. Re-fit the glass door after cleaning or
inspection, ensuring a good seal.

11.0 CONNECTING A GAS LINE

A qualified gas appliance installer must connect the gas room heater to
the gas supply.
Consult all local codes. Route gas line using techniques and materials
prescribed by local and/or national codes. Only use pipe of 1/2" or
greater diameter to allow full gas volume to the gas fireplace. Undue
pressure loss will occur if the pipe is too small.

IMPORTANT: HOLD HEATER REGULATOR WITH A
WRENCH TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN CONNECTING
TO INLET PIPING.
An ANSI approved manual shut-off valve and union must be installed
upstream of the heater within the fireplace cavity when rigid pipe is
used. Ensure that a sediment trap is installed upstream of the heater
(figure 5) within the structure's piping system to prevent moisture and
contaminants from passing through the pipe to the heater controls and
burner. Failure to do so could prevent the heater from operating
reliably.The heater gas inlet connection is 3/8" NPT at the regulator,
located below the burner, in the center of the heater. When tightening
up the joint to the regulator hold the regulator securely with a wrench to
prevent the regulator from moving.

12.0 CHECKING THE GAS CONNECTIONS

Turn on gas supply and test for gas leaks using a gas leak test solution
(also referred to as bubble leak solution).
NOTE: using a soapy water solution (50% dish soap, 50% water) is an
effective leak test solution, but it is not recommended, because the
soap residue that is left on the pipes/fittings can result in corrosion over
time.
A. Light the appliance (refer to the lighting instructions label in the con-
trol compartment or on page 10).
B. Brush all joints and connections with the gas leak test solution to
check for leaks. If bubbles are formed, or gas odor is detected, turn the
gas control knob (off/pilot/on) to the "OFF" position. Either tighten or
refasten the leaking connection, then retest as described above.
C. When the gas lines are tested and leak free, be sure to rinse off the
leak testing solution.
D. Observe the individual tongues of flame on the burner. Make sure all
ports are open and producing flame evenly across the burner. If any
ports are blocked, or partially blocked, clean out the ports.

13.0 GAS PRESSURE CHECK

The heater regulator
controls the burner
pressure
should be checked
at the pressure test
points located on the
control valve itself
(shown in figure 8)
for burner (manifold)
and regulator setting
pressure.
The pressure test
points are located on the gas valve.To access the valve and the test
points, firstly remove the control knob spidle from the valve spindle by
removing the retaining clip shown in figure 6.
Withdraw the control knob and spindle from the heater and next,
remove the gas valve cover plate by first removing the three retaining
screws indicated in figure 7.
