Introduction

Your Baxi Bermuda SP3 or VP3 is a central heating boiler combined with a gas fire. Normally the fire will heat the room in which it is situated and the boiler will provide heating for the rest of the house and also domestic hot water if required. The boiler and fire are independently controlled.

The boiler may be controlled by an external programmer or clock control

(see separate instructions with the clock controller used). The fire is controlled by the knob which is located on the right hand side of the outer case.

Important Notice

The Bermuda VP3 Propane appliance is for use on PROPANE

GAS ONLY and cannot be used on any other gas. Propane appliances can be converted to operate on

Natural Gas if required at a later date. Consult your Installer

WARNING

Bermuda SP3 and VP3 Renewal

Firefronts MUST NEVER be fitted as independent gas fires without the boiler.

Important Information

This product uses a fuel effect coal bed containing Refractory Ceramic

Fibres (R.C.F.) which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Care must be taken when handling these articles to ensure the release of dust or fibres is kept to a minimum. Refer to the section Cleaning the Fire.

NOTE: When your Bermuda is first used it is possible that certain smells may be emitted.

These smells will quickly clear with use. As the fire is used more and more, the bright finished metal around the coal bed will begin to darken. This is perfectly normal and will enhance the realism of the coal and flame effect.

Most heating appliances generate warm air convection currents and transfer heat to any wall surface against which they are situated.

Some soft wall furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers) may not be suitable for use where they are subjected to temperatures above normal room levels. The manufacturers advice should be sought before using this type of wall covering adjacent to any heating appliance. The likelihood of wall staining from convected air currents will be increased in environments where high levels of tobacco smoke or other contaminants exist.

RESTRICTED ACCESS:

REPLACEMENT OF BULBS

In certain installations (i.e. where the clearances to the sides of the fire are less than 100mm (4in.)) it is necessary to remove the side doors to gain access to the bulbs, should they ever need changing. This is done by first of all removing the canopy as described on the next page (under “REMOVAL OF GLASS

FRAME”).

Remove the side doors by opening them out and lifting away from the fixing studs shown in the illustration on the next page. The bulbs may now be replaced as described in the relevant section. (“REPLACING THE

BULBS”)

CLEANING THE FIRE

Ensure that the fire is cold. The painted panels and metalwork should be wiped with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Do not use a silicone based polish on

any part of the fire. The glass may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cream cleanser. Clean the glass regularly for best results.

NOTE: Both sides of the glass must be cleaned after the first week of using the fire.

It is possible that some soot may be deposited on the coals after use. This is acceptable providing it is not allowed to accumulate. Should any soot accumulation become excessive the fuel effect coal bed should be removed from the fire for cleaning. To remove the coal bed it is necessary to remove the glass front panel. It is recommended that gloves are worn when handling the coal bed, which is extremely fragile and must be handled accordingly. Cleaning should be carried out in a well-ventilated area or the open air by gently brushing with a soft brush with the coal bed held away from the face to avoid inhaling the dust. The use of a normal domestic vacuum cleaner is not recommended as it may blow dust back into the air. Care must also be taken if retouching the coal bed is required. Keep the coal bed away from children at all times. Never use coals other than those supplied or

Genuine Baxi Spare Parts. Never put additional coals on the fire. Always wash hands thoroughly after handling the coal bed. Please read the

Important Information section on page 4. The coal bed may be retouched using black stain. This is available direct from Baxi or your local Baxi Spares Stockist. Quote part N o 043224.

SURROUND OR

WALL FINISH

The surround or wall finish must have a flat vertical area centrally placed about the opening.

If a surround is fitted, any gaps between it and the wall must be sealed and it must have a rating of

100° C or higher.

PILOT/A.S.D.

Both the boiler and firefront are fitted with a pilot light that also acts as an

Atmospheric Sensing Device.This

means that in the event of the flow of gases out of the flue being interrupted the pilots will extinguish and shut the fire and boiler down.If this occurs persistently your Service Engineer should be contacted immediately.

Renewal firefronts are fitted with an Atmospheric Sensing Device

(A.S.D.). If they are installed in conjunction with a boiler NOT fitted with an A.S.D. (i.e. 401, 552,

45/3 & 57/3), under adverse flue conditions the boiler WILL NOT shut down. It is important that the appliance is regularly serviced to ensure correct operation of the

Atmospheric Sensing Device.

REMOVAL OF GLASS FRAME

CAUTION: The appliance must never be used without the glass front panel fitted. Should the glass front panel become damaged or cracked the fire should not be used until it has been replaced.

NOTE: This is a heat resistant glass and must not be replaced by ordinary

glass. Some small blemishes may be seen in the glass. These are inherent in its manufacture and will not affect its performance or durability.

Ensure that the fire is cold and then remove the canopy following the appropriate instructions.

Remove the Bermuda VP3 canopy by gently easing the sides inwards and the bottom edge forward, then lift the canopy upwards and away from the locating lip. Open out the doors.

Remove the Bermuda SP3 canopy, firstly by opening the side doors, then lift the canopy by the bottom edge upwards and away from the locating lip.

Unlock the retaining clips fixing the glass frame in position and lift the frame away.

To replace the glass frame, place the bottom edge in the locating channel and push against the sealing rope.

Engage the retaining clips. This ensures an effective seal between the glass frame and the fire front.

To replace the Bermuda VP3 canopy close the doors and re-locate the canopy on the locating lip and then by gently easing the sides inwards, push home to lock in place.

To replace the Bermuda SP3 canopy guide the bottom edge onto the door pins and then by tilting the back edge over the locating lip. Close the doors ensuring they lock in place.
