Non-standard installations or scenarios not covered in this manual (including but not limited to sealed cavities, under bench installations, a recessed fire, or with overhangs protruding above the fire), can expose materials to higher than anticipated levels of heat. While non-standard scenarios may meet the surface temperature combustibility requirements of AS/NZS5601 Gas Installations, some materials may be exposed to higher or undesirable levels of heat, or levels of heat greater than their tolerances allow. Specifiers and installers must choose materials when in these scenarios that meet the combustibility requirements AND the maximum service temperatures allowed by the chosen product. Escea takes no responsibility for material choice and reference should always be made to the relevant material manufacturer’s maximum service temperatures for the suitablility of use. Please refer to the D-Series Gas Fire Materials Guide. For more information on materials selection and for further guidance please contact our Architectural Advisory Team – aa@escea.com
To ensure that your installation is fully complete, please use the “Installation Checklist” on page 41.

B Creating the Cavity

B1 Cavity Shape The KS1150 Peninsula 400 is suitable for self supporting timber/steel framed cavities. Most existing masonry cavities will not be suitable.

B2 Designing the Cavity The following aspects must be considered when designing this installation:

·

Appliance is NOT load bearing

·

Appliance physical size

·

Wall finishing and interaction with appliance

·

Positioning of appliance in regards to wall lining (depth into wall)

·

Exhaust termination aspect ­ horizontal / vertical and flue configuration

·

Flue exhaust fan noise

·

C3 Installing the Horizontal Powerflue Wall Terminal Option The horizontal powerflue wall terminal must be installed in the correct orientation (the small horizontal slot should be at the bottom). This allows for the correct operation of the flue system and prevents the ingress of water. The horizontal powerflue wall terminal must be weather-tight when installation is complete to prevent damage to the dwelling. It must be installed by a suitably qualified person. Fit the horizontal powerflue wall terminal into the hole and fix in place, making sure the installation is sealed appropriately to prevent the ingress of water from outside the wall cladding. Take notice of the label on the termination which shows the correct orientation of the terminal. Note: It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the horizontal powerflue wall terminal is installed to all relevant building codes to ensure weather tightness.

C4 Installing the Internal Vertical Powerflue (UVP) Note: For information regarding an external install of the UVP, go to section “Installing the External Vertical Powerflue (UVP)” on page 17.

The Universal Vertical Powerflue (UVP) internal configuration is designed to have the fan, mounted within the roof space of the house, and the vertical Ø225mm diameter liner, containing a Ø100mm flexi, penetrate through the roof. The UVP internal conversion kit comes with a 1200mm liner that is specific to the internal installation and must always be used.

Note: The flue setup must comply with either section “Flue Configuration (If less than 8m flue length is required)” on page 10 or “Flue Configuration (If more than 8m flue length is required)” on page 11.

Use standard methods to flash the roof penetration. The installation must be

(1)

weatherproof and conform to all local council standards including powered flue

termination rules.

Mount the fan mount bracket (1) to the roof framing and strapping using

timber ensuring that the flue is rigid and vertical. Ensure that the mounting

timber does not obstruct access to the 3xM5 screw threads on the side of the

fan unit.

(2)

Aim to have the fan enclosure (2) mounted as high as possible, mainly to allow sufficient fall for condensation drainage if the flexi-flue is to run horizontally.

Ensure there is sufficient space below fan enclosure (2) to have access to fit the

(3)

flexi-flue tubes (3) and allow flowing bends if required.

Note: The UVP-Internal and the flexi flue connections must be installed in a location accessible for service or replacement; a service hatch or removable flashing to allow access may be required.

Note: When installing the unit onto a flue liner, ensure the length of flue liner above the roof is the minimum required length. ENSURE the Ø43mm restriction plate is installed on the inlet.

Notes: 1) Should the flue not extend past the apex, the bottom opening of the flue should extend at least 200mm from the roof (or 300mm in regions with heavy snow). 2) The installation of a flue into a carport is not recommended. 3) The flue terminal will get very hot when in use. Precautions should be taken to protect people and animals from injury. C7 Running the Flue A 50mm clearance to combustibles must be maintained from the exhaust flue for the first 1.5m of flexi flue from the appliance (see diagram below). Run the Ø100mm and Ø75mm flexible aluminium hoses from the cavity to the rear of where the horizontal or vertical powerflue terminal will be installed. Allow enough stretch in the flexible aluminium flue to allow it to protrude through the wall/ceiling/roof/flue liner to enable it to be connected to the powerflue terminal. The flue should be expanded at each end in order for the flue to be attached to the fire/powerflue. It is advisable to secure the flexi flue at regular intervals to prevent vibration, movement and sagging. Steel wire or builders strapping’ may be used for this purpose. Note: The flexible flue is shipped in acompressed’ form. Extend it to your desired length by stretching.

C8 Running the Powerflue Electrical Cable Note: The powerflue terminal is powered from the appliance and must be connected to the appliance with the supplied electrical cable only. Note: Ensure that the appliance power supply is disconnected before making the connection to the terminal The supplied electrical cable is 7m long; flue extension kits also include a powerflue electrical cable extension. Run the electrical cable from the cavity where the appliance will be installed to the hole in the outside wall. Ensure it is not draped over, or in contact with, the outer shell of the appliance or the flues. The cable must be kept clear from any other possible heat sources, sharp edges, or moisture. Fix it appropriately and allow enough cable to be able to pull both the appliance and the powerflue terminal out from their installed positions.
If you do not connect the powerflue electrical cable to both the fireplace and the powerflue, this will result in an error when the fireplace is turned on. Test the fan before continuing with the rest of the installation.
END OF SECTION C By the end of this section, you should have:
A weather-tight installed powerflue terminal with clearance as specified by AS/NZ5601 Reasonable access to the terminal for maintenance purposes Flue attached to the powerflue terminal leading back to the appliance with the correct
flue clearances
The electrical cable from the powerflue terminal run back to the appliance cavity in an electrically safe manner

D Installing the Electricity and Gas to the Appliance
D1 Power Supply While the cavity is being created, consideration must be given to the location of an appropriate power supply. An earthed 230/240 volt mains power connection (typically a standard 3 pin outlet) must be available within 1m of the bottom right of the appliance. This connection must be accessible after the heater has been fully installed so that the appliance can be safely disconnected from the mains power supply prior to servicing.
A mains isolation switch (compliant to AS:NZS 5601 Clause 6.2.8) which is accessible from outside the cavity can also be used to disconnect the power.
Regardless of the method used, it MUST ALWAYS be possible to safely isolate the electrical supply to the appliance after it has been fully installed.
This appliance must not be located immediately below a socket outlet. This appliance will draw a maximum of 2 Amps from a 230/240V supply. No additional power supply is required for the power flue.
D2 Network Cable A 10 metre length of network (ethernet) cable has been supplied. Connect it to the appliance (lower right) and the buildings’ modem.
Two network cable access points are available: the primary connection is on the bottom of the RH outer face of the appliance for connecting permanently to the buildings’ router; the secondary connection point is located where the AUX button is (shown in section “Remote Pairing Button” on page 30) for service technicians to access when the main connection method has not been used and has become inaccessible.
If you do not wish to connect the fireplace to the modem, the network/ ethernet cable should be run to somewhere accessible by a service technician, such as a cupboard.

E9 Home Automation Setup Escea K-Series fireplaces have a simple interface for connection to a home automation system. This allows the fireplace to be woken up, started, and then shut down. The “Close to Wake” connection (shown below) is essentially taking one of the 3.3 volt DC pins on the fireplace micro- controller and shorting it to ground.

In order to isolate the fireplace from the automation system, a relay needs to be used (as shown). This allows you to keep the fireplace’s 3.3V supply isolated.

Home Automation Operation

Relay closed The fireplace will start in a medium setting until the remote control talks to the fireplace and picks up the `ON’ signal (which can take up to 4 minutes). Once the remote has communicated with the fireplace it will turn on and begin operating thermostatically. The remote will use whatever temperature the user has previously set and cannot be altered by the home automation system. The fireplace will continue to operate while the relay is closed.

Note: If the fireplace cannot communicate with the remote within 10 minutes of the relay contact closure then the fireplace will shut down and return to standby. The remote controller is required to be within operating range of the fireplace for its safe operation.

F Finishing the Installation
F1 Gem/Crystalight or Coal Fuelbed Installation If using the crystalight/gem or coal fuel beds, first place all the crystalight/gem or coal pieces in a single layer atop the burners and fuelbed tray. Cover the entire area except for the pilot shield, ensuring coverage right up to the edges of the firebox or glass. Do not heap or mound any fuelbed. F2 Log and Woodland Log Fuelbed Retainer Setup When setting up a log or woodland log fuel bed, you must have the correct retainers present before assembling the fuel bed. The correct retainers are supplied with the fuel bed packaging. On your retainers you will see either a letter at the start that will determine the fuelbed type (i.e. W = Woodland, L = Logs). The letters and numbers that follow help to determine the retainer location. Remove the infill by following section E4 on page 25. Place the infill upside down with the hole for the pilot on the side closest to you; this is the back. Remove the retainers from the flat nested sheet. When reading the text on each retainer, fold ALL the retainer tabs 90° away from you. For some older infills, on the UNDERSIDE of the infill you may see numbers from 1 to 4. If the infill has numbers, then match the numbers on the infill with the numbers on the log retainers. For all other infills, the combination of letters and numbers provides an indication of the location: BBack, F- Front, L-Left, R-Right.
Attach all retainers by feeding the tabs from the UNDERSIDE (unpainted side) through the cutouts on the infill. Fix each retainer in place from the top of the infill with the screws provided. Replace the infill and burners in the fireplace. Only for the log fuelbed: the final log retainers are placed on TOP of the infill and burners to support the end log (number 2 from index). This part comes in flat form and is to be folded as per the images below.

F6 Wall Linings The final wall lining can only be commenced after all previous applicable sections have been completed. The appliance must be installed prior to and behind the finished wall surface. Allow clearance for any plasterboard, tiles, or other finishing materials that may be intended for the finished wall surface. The wall board that lines the outside of the opening can be normal plaster board and does not need to be non-combustible. The plasterboard is to protrude beyond framework as shown in the following diagram.
Note: The final wall lining must not encroach within the specified dimensions in this section. These dimensions indicate the opening required in the wall lining. Encroaching on the minimum cut out dimension may inhibit the future serviceability of the fire.
The glass viewing area of the fire is bordered by a black metal trim. This acts as a junction between any wall linings and the viewing area. Combustible wall linings must not exceed this dimension and protrude past the black trim. Failure to follow these instructions may risk damage to the adjacent wall lining. Wall linings should be cut to 6mm +/-2mm from the black reveal.

D

The location of this cradle should be decided by taking the following factors into account:

Simple and convenient access for the user

Away from air flow and drafts through the room

The parts of the room that people are likely to spend time

Away from direct sun light

A suitable distance away from the heater

Ideally 1.2m to 1.5m from the floor

The radio frequency signal will go through some walls but for best results Escea suggest that the cradle position is less than 10 metres away from the heater.

The best height to locate the cradle off the ground is about chest height. This gives a good average room temperature and easy access for the user.

Please ensure that the cradle is screwed firmly onto the wall using the screws provided.

F8 Operating the Appliance If you haven’t done so already, insert the supplied “AA” size batteries, being careful of the polarity. “0:00” should now be showing on the remote display.

To turn the fire on, press the `POWER’ button once, and within a few seconds the appliance will begin its startup sequence.

NOTE: The appliance begins its startup with a 15 second pre-start purge, where the combustion fan runs on its own to clear the firebox before it tries to ignite. During the pre-purge the remote will alternately show the remotes “set” temperature and a rotating segment indicator to show that the fire is in start up mode and will try to ignite.

When the appliance has lit, set the room temperature by pressing the PLUS’ or MINUS’ buttons repeatedly until the display is showing the desired temperature. The remote will then revert back to the `current’ room temperature 30 seconds after making the change.

Run the appliance on full for an hour with the windows and doors open in the dwelling. This will ensure any running-in smells have the chance to dissipate.

The appliance is turned off by pressing the `POWER’ button once more. The remote will display the time only.

Run the appliance again and check the operation of the thermostat by increasing and reducing the set temperature. Check the Effect Only function and the Fan Boost functions work correctly.

F9 Normal Operating Sounds and Smells Note: Each time the fire is lit from cold the glass may fog up with condensation. This is normal and the condensation will disappear within a few minutes once the glass heats up.
Sounds It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that various types of materials are used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. These are all normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.
Fan: Escea gas appliances use electric fans to push heated air into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a “whirring” sound when ON. This sound will increase or decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your fan.
Gas Control Valve: As the gas control valves turn ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible. This is the normal operation of a valve. When the fire is switched off after being run for a while, there may be popping and fluttering noises as the residual gas in the burners burns away. These are normal and are no cause for concern.
Unit Body/Firebox: Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in some “cracking” and “ticking” sounds being heard throughout the heating and cool down processes.
Smells The first few times the unit is operated, the unit may release an odour and the flames will appear orange due to: the curing of the paint, the burning off of the starch in the gas logs and the oils in the metal. This is a temporary curing process which will disappear with use.
A deposit on the inside of the glass, caused by the starch in the logs, may appear as a build up after several uses. If this film is not removed, it will bake on and may become difficult to remove. When the glass is cold, remove it (see section E3 on page 24) and clean the inside with a non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
UNDER NORMAL USE, NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE GLASS REMOVED.

S2 Error Codes This gas fire has been designed to show error codes to help explain and identify any fault situation that occurs. These codes will appear on the wireless remote control in the form of a large letter “E” with a number beside it. Codes can normally be reset by turning the heater off then on again at the wall.
The following table shows what each code means and possible ways to rectify the situation. In the case of persistent or repeated shutdown errors, action must be taken immediately to find and repair the fault.
Note: An error code may not signify a fault/warranty issue; depending on the error code, it may signify that the remote batteries are dead or the LPG cylinder is empty. Refer to the section below and contact Escea if needed.

Error Code

Electronics Over Temp

Suggested action
The electronics have gone over temperature. · Check for excess lint and dust build-up on the PCB/Controller. · Ensure correct gaps are present around glass. · Room air fans may be slowed or stalled. Remove firebox, check that fans
are plugged in, clean, and free turning.
Note: This error has a permanent lock out and will require the unit to be reset after the initial error (turning the power to the fire off “at the wall” then on again after a few seconds).

Flame Failure or Power Flue trip

The fire has tried to light three times and failed. · Check gas supply and check other gas appliances to see if they are
affected. If you have two separate LPG cylinders, switch over to the full bottle or contact your gas supplier. You may need to retry igniting the fire a few times after re-establishing gas supply. · Check correct gas pressure to the appliance with all other appliances running. · Check the electrode placement in relation to the pilot flame. Ensure it is well enveloped in flame as per the diagram in the installation instructions. Ensure no small coals have dropped onto the ignition electrodes between the burners. · Ensure the electrode is not contacting any metalwork including the burners and has the correct air gap.

Appliance Over Temperature Sensor Trip

The bimetallic snap disk mounted on the exhaust collector box has tripped. · Check that fans are plugged in, cleaned, and free turning – room air fans
may be slowed or stalled. · Check the regulator -being set too high may result in excess heat build-
up. · Check flues are securely connected at both ends – if the inlet flue is not
connected the appliance may draw warm air from the cavity. · Check the jets

Valve Solenoid Check Failure

The valve solenoids have failed the pre-ignition test. A wire may have dislodged or the valve solenoid is faulty. · Check that the connections to each solenoid are secure and in place. The
connections on the ends of the wires may need to be tightened (e.g. with a pair of pliers) to ensure a robust connection to the valve terminal. · Disconnect and reconnect the firebox connectors ensuring they are firmly pushed into place. · One of the solenoids on the valve inside the fire may have failed. If this is the case, the valve will need to be replaced.

Remote Cannot communicate with
fire

The remote cannot communicate with the fire. · Check if the fire is turned off “at the wall” i.e. a loss of power to the fire or
the remote is outside of its effective radio frequency range (too far away from the fire). Typical remote range is 1m to 10m. · Ensure there is power to the fire by pressing the auxiliary on/off (red) button on the fire, then press the on/off button on the remote to clear the error.

· Check whether the pressure switch is activating at startup (there is an

orange indicator LED in the control tray). If not, check that the pressure

switch electrical connection is correct.

· Check that the hoses are connected at both ends. Ensure the hoses are

Combustion Air

not kinked.

Flow Error

· Ensure the pressure switch is mounted vertically and the diaphragm is

operational. The black hose should be connected to the low pressure port

and the translucent to the high pressure port

· Check that both flues are securely connected at both ends to the

appliance and the powerflue wall terminal and that the flue is not

damaged

· Check that the fan inside the powerflue wall terminal is running during

startup. This fan may need servicing if it is slowed or stalled.

S3 Cleaning the Fuel bed and Glass ALWAYS USE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE GLASS.

Follow “Removing (and Replacing) the Glass” on page 24 to remove the glass. Place the glass carefully aside. Note that any soot on the glass can mark carpet and furnishings. Any standard ammonia-free glass cleaner may be used to clean the glass. Use a soft brush to clean the fuel bed media, being careful to replace it according to the instructions in “Gem/Crystalight or Coal Fuelbed Installation” on page 33, “Log Fuelbed Installation” on page 34, or “Woodland Fuelbed Installation” on page 35.

This is a service procedure that will need to be carried out whenever soot builds up on fuelbeds and/or inside of glass.

If soot build up becomes excessive or regular then one of the following actions may be required:

·

Reset gas pressure, pressure may be too high;

·

Reposition fuelbed, check with specific fuelbed instructions for details;

·

Clear any blockage from primary aeration port of burner;

·

Check flue tube is not damaged or disconnected.

·

Check exhaust fan is operating and cowl is not blocked in any way.

S4 Checking Operating Pressure See section E7 on page 27 of this manual.

S5 Replacing a Remote Control If the wireless control becomes lost or damaged, a new one can be ordered from any Escea retail agent. When you have the new remote, the following procedure needs to be followed to “teach” the remote to only communicate with that fire.

1. Ensure the fire and remote are set to `OFF’ (only the time is displayed on the remote).

2. While the remote is in its `OFF’ mode with only the time showing on the display, press the MINUS, PLUS, and FAN BOOST buttons simultaneously (as shown right) until the characters “03” light up on the display. Release the buttons. The remote will count down and display “GO”. The screen will then display all characters and should be reading “00”. This will put the remote into test mode. Note: if the digits start counting then the remote is already paired.

3. Press and hold the MINUS button until the two large temperature digits 5

reading “00” start to flash slowly. Release the MINUS button. The remote

control is now ready to be linked to the fire.

6

4. Press and hold the auxiliary on/off button on the fireplace for a minimum of ten seconds or until the two large temperature digits start counting upwards from 00 to 99 repeatedly.

Note: Pressing the red auxiliary button on/off button will start the fire. Once the remote control is counting the fire can be turned off by pressing the red auxiliary button again.

5. Press the large power button in the middle of the remote control to exit the test mode and return to normal operation. The remote should only be displaying the time. Check the fire will start using the remote control by pressing the large power button. Turn it off again using the remote control. 6. The fire is now linked to the remote control. S6 Replacing the Burners Remove all components of the fuelbed, taking care not to damage any of the fuelbed media. Remove the 4 screws in the infill and lift from the fire box, by lifting one end up into the top corner and then out towards you. Take care not to scratch the firebox paint and lift out the burners (see section E4 on page 25). S7 Serial Number The serial number for the fire can be found in two places. The first is in the battery compartment of the wireless remote under the batteries. The second is on the data sticker on the chassis under the electronics tray. S8 Removing or Cleaning Fan As part of regular service procedure, it is recommended that the fan is removed for cleaning. Dust will build up on the fan rotor and in the cavity where the fan is located. This can be removed by the service person using a hearth brush and a vacuum cleaner. ISOLATE THE POWER TO THE FIRE BEFORE COMMENCING THIS PROCEDURE. Screw Locations:
