INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
Installer · The Wonder fire (type 1) must be installed in a fire resistive fire place with a proved draught. · The chimney must be swept and inspected to see if it is in sound condition. · The chimney must be a minimum area of 22 000mm2 (e.g. 150x150mm if masonry or 150mm
diameter if round metal flue). · NOTE ­ WHERE THE APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED INTO A MASONARY FIREPLACE A
FABRICATED FLUE MUST BE USED. · An approved 150mm diameter Gas Cowl must be fitted. · The flue or chimney of an coopmepnregsassiofnire must be kept clear at all times. Devices which close or
temporally close the flue or chimney are not permitted. (e.g. a damper must be removed or securely disabled in the fully open position.) · If these conditions are met the chimney should usually provide satisfactory draw. In any event, the chimney and final installation must be tested for spillage into the room. This can be done by lighting a paper fire in the fireplace (before the appliance is installed) and holding a smoking twist of paper or a smoking match by the front of the fireplace. Air conditioning vents near the fireplace may also cause spillage. · The fireplace must be at least 470mm wide (front), 325mm wide (rear) x 240mm Deep x 400mm high to suit the Type 1 burner. · The room must have total fixed ventilation equal to the chimney / flue area. · Refer also to “Wonderfire FFB Convector Box” instructions if fitting a Convector Box.
Fitting the unit · The unit should be fixed to the base of the fireplace with a screw to each front corner of the
burner. · Remove the front trim taking care of the wiring to the battery box or unplugging if necessary.
Gas · Gas connection is to a ½” BSP barrel union connected to the control valve. This is located
centrally under the unit. Take care to not damage the wiring loom · Thoroughly blow out the supply pipe to clear any dust and debris. · Ensure all connections are gas tight. · Note: Do not bring the gas supply down the active chimney.
Coals The Nectre Wonderfire has ceramic coals and a burner designed to appear like a wood/ coal fire. The unit is supplied with the ceramics assembled ready for operation. · When the unit is unpacked check that no damage has occurred in transport. · Carefully place the ceramic coal assembly on top of the burner making sure that it sits in place
correctly. · No other coals should be added as this will adversely affect the performance of the fire. · Wash hands after handling the coals as they may contain toxic dyes.

COMMISSIONING
· Once the fire is fitted and connected to the gas, the air bled from the supply pipe, prepare to test the unit’s operation.
· Read pages 3-11 of this installation instructions first.
· Ensure the switch on the battery pack is in the “Off” position. Remove the plastic battery box cover (two screws) and fit 4 AA 1.5 volt batteries. A mains adapter can also be connected. Turn the gas supply on.
· Place the slider switch to the “Remote” position. Insert the end of a paper clip or other similar object into the hole marked PRG on the front cover. The receiver will beep 3 times.
· Insert the 3 AAA batteries in the remote controller. Push the “On” button. The receiver will beep 4 times. The remote controller is a radio operated unit, so needs to be in the proximity of the appliance but not necessarily pointing at it.
· Press the ON/OFF key on the remote. The appliance will beep once and the igniter should spark. It may take some time for the air to bleed from the system through the pilot. (a hand held gas lighter can be used to speed up this process). Ensure the thermometer symbol is neither “On” or “Smart” by pressing the thermostat key on the remote. Test the Hi to Low operation using the “Up/Down” button on the remote.
· After 10 minutes operation from cold, test for fireplace spillage, i.e. all products of combustion are entering the flue, by traversing the perimeter of the opening or canopy, using a smoke generator (e.g. a smoking twist of paper or smoke match).

MAINTENANCE / FAULT FINDING
