Gas Fire ID please.

[Dan Masey]

Can anyone help with finding a manual on this fire please. I was going to service it as a portfolio job but my mentor won't do it until I can find a manual for it. Can't find it anywhere online. Thanks.

What do u need instructions for?

 

[Atouchofgas]

Probably cause as he says he wants to service it. So possibly coal layout, kW etc. Have you tried googling, living flame Berkshire and seeing what comes up?

 

[kirkgas]

What do u need instructions for?

Heat input, coal position etc etc

Does the second pic with the data badge not give you any more model details?

 

[kozak1968]

Looks quite new so data badge must have something on it of use.

take a picture of the coals with your phone,
data plate will do for the heat input

you can do the heat input without a data plate or manufacturers instructions if you know how :thinking:

 

[Ermintrude]

Heat input, coal position etc etc

I only asked as thought he might be looking for vent req 100cm2 to outside.

 

[Atouchofgas]

take a picture of the coals with your phone.

How do you know the coals are in the right place to start with?

 

[lame plumber]

looks like one with the "cotton wool" base, coals lobbed on top and off you go,

 

[Atouchofgas]

Most newish fires have specific coal layouts

 

[Ermintrude]

Not true. Most of the ones you have seen so far do.

 

[Atouchofgas]

Ermintrude, there isn't many " basket " type manufacturers in the uk market these days. I do agree that I haven't seen them all but I do install them

 

[Ermintrude]

Plenty of relics from 70's 80's 90's

 

[mak]

its a "Gallery Elan decorative basket " fitted one a few weeks back

 

[Dan Masey]

Yep I wanted them for the ventilation requirements really. Heat Input is 6.95kw. Coals don't need a specific layout on this one just not allowed to be above the level of the frame. I think iv found them online. Been having a discussion with Kirk on a very similar one. Apparently no additional ventilation needed.....

[Atouchofgas]

That fire isn't a nu-flame and all nu-flame fires have coal/log/pebble layouts

 

[Dan Masey]

That fire isn't a nu-flame and all nu-flame fires have coal/log/pebble layouts

Not according to the MI above mate.
I did this one a few weeks back and had the manual in front of me. Didn't have any specific layout.

 

[Atouchofgas]

Yes you are right to a certain degree, the mi cover all the " mtm/ n fires but your link doesn't show the picture which does show you how they are laid out, so you get a rough idea of what you are to achieve. As a dealer of these fires I have spoke to them several times before, but that isn't a nu flame fire in the picture

 

[Atouchofgas]

Normally it's large coals along the back evenly spaced small at front and then stack them, max three high

[Ermintrude]

What category / type of fire would you classify it as? DFE , radiant, room sealed? Flue less? Just have a niggle here?

 

[kirkgas]

take a picture of the coals with your phone,
data plate will do for the heat input

you can do the heat input without a data plate or manufacturers instructions if you know how :thinking:

How can you confirm the HI is correct without knowing what it should be, I'm familiar with a calculation to use gas rate to work out what the HI is, but as I say how do you then know it's right?

 

[Dan Masey]

Id say it was a DFE but as Kirk said before, it clearly states no additional ventilation. (I'm talking about the Nu Flame here).

 

[Ermintrude]

it says in accordance with current standards does it not? That mi is for about 35 different fires ? Thought all dfe had to have 100cm2
