Description
The Super Sixteen NG inset is a decorative gas fire designed to fit a traditional fire surround and fireplace, with a
chimney that conforms to a conventional Class I flue. i.e. Brick built of 227 x227mm (9 x 9ins) or 175mm (7ins)
diameter lined or stone chimney with the fireback and fireplace components complying with BS 1251.
This appliance is intended for decorative purposes, the fuel bed have a realistic coal effect utilizing ‘ceramic coals’
and coal bed that allows secondary air to be entrained into the bed for clean combustion. The burner is an aerated
twin ported steel burner producing two parallel ribbons of flame, which run across the front of the firebed. The
rear ribbon of flame is ignited first and the front ribbon cross lights from it instantaneously. A single gas control
selects ignition (pilot only) and can be turned anti-clockwise to select a high rate and then reduced input at the
maximum rotation. For extra safety the tap is designed so that gas cannot be allowed to reach the burner before the
pilot is proven. A separate push button piezo igniter is used to ignite an oxy-pilot device that will cause the
appliance to ‘shut-off’ and prevent continued spillage occurring under hazardous flue conditions.
A Flame Supervision Device is fitted; this ensures that if the pilot goes out for any reason (including turning off)
that then the gas flow to the burner is cut off until the full lighting sequence is repeated.
Two types of fire fronts are recommended as shown on page 7, these have perforated frets to allow air to be drawn
into the coal bed for combustion and over the controls for cooling purposes. If other types of fire fronts are to be
used they must have a minimum open area in the fret of 20 square centimeters and 60 square centimeters in the
front.
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 Flicker Flame 16” is a decorative fuel effect appliance designed and manufactured to the requirements of the
British Standards Institution BS 5258 Part 12: 1990 and EN 509, it is for use on Natural Gas Only.
All gas appliance installations must be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety
(Installation & Use) Regulations 1994 (as amended) or the rules in force and in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions, failure to do so could lead to prosecution.
The chimney or flue (unless new) must be swept before installation. It should be checked annually for spillage
(smoke test) and that there is no excessive build up of soot when the appliance is serviced.
Additional permanent ventilation is not required for this appliance in GB only, for Ireland (IE) ventilation is
required with a minimum cross sectional area of 100 square centimeters and should be checked periodically to
ensure freedom from obstruction.
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.
The appliance has a naked flame, a fireguard to British standard BS 6539 or BS 6778 should be used for the
protection of young children, the elderly and the infirm. Combustible materials should not be put 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 the close proximity of the fire as some vinyls 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.
The appliance is fitted with an oxy-pilot which in the event of the flue being blocked or hazardous conditions
causing the appliance to spill products of combustion; will shut off the gas supply to the appliance. If the sequence
is repeated the appliance must be turned off and not used until expert advice has been obtained.
