DESCRIPTION
The Super Ferrona 16 MKII is a decorative gas fire designed to fit into a conventional fire surround and fireplace. It
should be fitted to a flue that conforms to a conventional Class I flue (i.e. a brick built chimney of 227 x 227mm
(9x9ins) or 175mm (7ins) diameter lined or stone chimney with the fire back and fireplace components complying
to BS1251. The appliance has a single aerated burner, the design of which produces two parallel ribbons of flame
which run across the front of the fire bed, the rear ribbon of flame is ignited first and the front cross lights from it. A
single control selects ignition (pilot only) and can be turned anticlockwise to select a high rate and then a reduced
rate at maximum rotation. For extra safety, the tap is designed so that the gas cannot be allowed to reach the burner
until the pilot is proven. A separate push button piezo igniter provides pilot ignition.
A flame supervision device (FSD) is fitted to ensure that should the oxy-pilot extinguish for any reason, (including
turning off the appliance) the gas supply to the burner is cut off until the full lighting sequence is repeated. The oxy-
pilot or O.D.S. will cause the appliance to ?shut off? in the event of continued spillage occurring under hazardous or
blocked flue conditions.
The unit is secured to the hearth with two fixing screws to prevent stress on the gas inlet connection.
Two types of fire fronts and frets are recommended, as shown on page 8, they have perforated frets to allow air to be
drawn into the coal bed for combustion and over the controls for cooling purposes. If other fronts and frets are to be
used they must have a minimum open area in the fret of 20 square centimetres and 60 square centimetres in the
front. See Fig 10.
A decorative brass trim is available as an optional extra to locate on the inner edges of the fireplace/surround
opening, the trim has 50mm deep flanges to assist with fixing the trim in position.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The Super Ferrona 16 MKII is a decorative fuel effect appliance designed and manufactured to the requirements of
the British Standards Institution BS 5258 Part 12: 1990 and is for use on Natural Gas only.
All gas appliance installations must be installed by a competent person in accordance with the current Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1994 (as amended) or the rules in force and in accordance with the attached
Installation Instructions, failure to do so could lead to prosecution.
The chimney flue (unless new) must be swept prior to installation. It should be checked annually for spillage (smoke
test) when the appliance is serviced and that there is no excessive build up of soot.
The appliance has a naked flame, a fireguard to British Standard BS 6539 or BS 6778 should be used for the
protection of your young children, the elderly and the infirm. Combustible materials should not be put on or left in
the hearth, nor should the coal bed be used to burn rubbish or other materials.
Care must be taken on the selection of wall coverings within close proximity of the fire as some vinyl and embossed
materials may become discoloured by convected heat. Soft furnishings must be kept clear from the radiant heat of
the fire and from impinging the hearth area. The hearth must not be covered by any combustible materials such as
carpet etc.
It is recommended that the appliance is serviced annually by a competent person and the flue checked for
satisfactory clearance of products and that there is no excessive build up of soot.
The curing effect of heating the coals will cause an initial odour which, although not harmful, may require
additional ventilation until the odour has disappeared. This appliance will run on Full for approximately 4.4 hours
on one therm of gas.
This product uses fuel effect pieces, gaskets and insulation material containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to
eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that
the release of dust is kept to a minimum
