INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT
This product is fitted with an OXYGEN DEPLETION SYSTEM which is an INTEGRAL PART OF THE PILOT. You must maintain the correct pressure for the oxygen depletion system to operate correctly (see data plate on page 5).
When checking gas pressure at the appliance ALL OTHER GAS APPLIANCES IN
PREMISES MUST BE OPERATING AT THE SAME TIME.

TYPE OF INSTALLATIONS
TYPE 1. Magiglo Gas Log/Coal Set
The appliance must be installed in a fire resistant fireplace with approved draft.
TYPE 2. Magiglo Gas Log/Coal Set
Installed in conjunction with a prefabricated firebox into an existing fireplace using the firebox flue system to remove waste products.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS FOR TYPE 1 INSTALLATIONS

1. The fireplace must be built in accordance with the building regulations for masonry chimneys.
2. The fireplace must be sufficiently deep enough to fully accommodate either the Gas Log/Coal Set or a firebox fitted with a Gas Log/Coal Set in order that no fumes can escape into the room. DO NOT ignore the depth of the lintel over the fireplace opening.
3. It is imperative that the chimney or flue operates correctly and also does not subject the living area to spillage of combusted products. The flue or chimney should be tested and proven to have an adequate updraught sufficient to remove all waste products of combustion. (Refer to Commissioning Procedure).
4. Chimney dampers, baffles or restrictive plates must be removed or permanently fixed open.
5. Permanent ventilation of the room where the fire is to be situated is essential while fire is in operation. The room must have a minimum cross sectional area of 40,000sq mm of effective ventilation.

BURNER INSTALLATION

1. Select the Magiglo series burner which best compliments your fireplace size.
2. Locate your gas fire into the rear of the fireplace or prefabricated fire box fixing to base or grate by location lugs on burner.
3. It is preferable for the gas line to be brought into the rear of fireplace, therefore concealing pipe work.
4. If installing the burner into an existing grate, remove that part of base of grate so that controls are on underside of grate.
5. Connect gas line to burner connection using 1/2˝ flared copper union supplied.
6. The correct logs and coals or pebbles must be used as supplied by the manufacturer.

THIS APPLIANCE REQUIRES FRESH AIR TO OPERATE SAFELY. THE ROOM WHERE THIS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED MUST HAVE PERMANENT VENTILATION FROM OUTDOORS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 5601”

If you are unable to get the appliance to operate correctly, contact either your sales agent or the manufacturer (see contact details on back cover).

TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE

Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to the “OFF” position.

COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE

Once the fire is installed and operational the installer must check for spillage. Carry out the lighting procedure and turn the fire to high. Allow to warm up for 10 minutes and then using a smoke match set 25mm down and 25mm inside of the fire opening run the match across the width of the opening to check that all of the smoke is drawn away.
Repeat the test with doors and windows to the premises open and closed, and with any extractor fans in the same room or adjacent rooms running on high. The fire should continue to clear its combustion products. Also operate any other flued appliances in the same or neighbouring rooms and ensure they continue to function satisfactorily as multiple flues can work against one another.
If spillage is detected during this procedure it could indicate a faulty flue or lack or ventilation. If the problem cannot be rectified immediately, disconnect the appliance, and advise the customer not to use the appliance until the problem has been resolved.
The customer should always be advised of the need for regular servicing and checks to ensure the continued clearance of combustion waste products.

NOTE: Care must be taken to ensure that any return air register exhaust system does not adversely affect the operation of the appliance or draught of chimney or flue.

WARNING
“DO NOT place articles on or against this appliance.“
“DO NOT use or store flammable materials near this appliance.”
“DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

1. Your Magiglo Gas Log/Coal Set will have been installed by an authorised person in accordance with the Installation and Service Instructions. If you are technically minded you will increase your knowledge of your fire by reading through these Instructions
2. Initially your Magiglo may burn with a slightly blue flame which part of the protective coating on the coal and logs burn off. A slight smell my also be apparent at this stage. After an hour or so the fire will have settled down and will therefore burn with a yellow flame producing a little soot. The soot deposit enhances the real effect and is exactly the same as an authentic fire.
3. As with all gas appliances, your Magiglo should be regularly serviced. We would recommend once each year. The name and address of your service technician can be obtained from your Real Flame stockist. The routine to be followed by the engineer can be found under Service Instructions; contained within this leaflet.
4. For safe operation of your Magiglo the following annual checks should be carried out.
   – Confirm that the chimney remains clear and unobstructed and there has not been a buildup of soot which would necessitate the chimney being swept.
   – Confirm that the room ventilation remains adequate and that all vents are free of obstruction.

TROUBLESHOOTING

spark at electrode if none, check lead connection. If not solved replace electrode.
Pilot lights but does not stay on.| Light pilot and keep knob depressed for 30 seconds before releasing. If pilot does not stay on, replace thermocouple.
Main flame goes out or very little flame.| 1. Check for correct pressure. 2. Check for faulty thermocouple. 3. Excessive draught can cause flame to extinguish.

WARNING
The Magiglo burner burns with a real flame which should be treated with the same respect as any naked flame. A fireguard should be used for the protection of children and the elderly.
