Installation Instructions Kemlan Power Flue Horizon Gas Fireplaces

Before Installation

The Horizon powered flue system shall be installed by
authorized personnel in accordance with the
manufacturer’s installation instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, electrical wiring
regulations, and any other statutory regulations. Contact
your local building authorities about restrictions and
installation inspections that may be required. If in doubt
contact your local dealer or Kemlan’s Head office.

IMPORTANT AUSTRALIAN CODES:

Australian Standards AS 5601 Gas Installation

Australian Standards AS 3000 Electrical 

Important Safety Notes

Comply with all instructions in manual including 
clearances to combustible material.

Do not operate without fully assembling all 
components.

All open gas fires require ventilation in the room. 

Do not connect to any other air distribution duct or 
system.

When using an internal fan system an A.G.A 
approved cowl is required at flue terminal.

Air movement of systems- A decorative gas log fire 
must not be installed where the operation of any 
ventilation system, fan or air blower could in any 
circumstances cause the air pressure to be less than 
atmospheric at the appliance.

Do not block or restrict chimney. The power flue 
system operates on pressure switches opening a 
valve for gas to flow. If flue is blocked the system will 
cut out.

After installing appliance check that the flue draws
well with smoke pellet.

Kemlan recommends that all gas fires be serviced 
every year.

All gas units must be fitted by a licensed gas fitter.

It is the responsibility of the gas fitter to follow the 
regulations set out in the Gas Code that dictate the 
procedures to follow when installing a gas appliance, 
particularly regarding gas pipe sizing and checking of 
pressures. (see page 10)

Installation

1

Access must always be available to the fan system for 
servicing. If installing the internal fan system an 
access panel of 400mm x 400mm needs to be 
installed with a clearance of 100mm over the top of 
fan to lift out. 

2

The power flue Horizon system is supplied with all 
required electrical fittings. Work needs to be 
undertaken by a licensed electrician if extending 
wiring. Wiring requires clearance of minimum 
100mm to flues and fireplace body due to heat. See 
Wiring diagram page. Wiring must be positively
secured away from heat source.

3

An isolation switch needs to be provided if 
connecting within fireplace framework.

4

Build frame to specifications provided.

5

Unit located on 10mm fiber cement sheeting. 
Sheeting requires 5 x 50mm holes drilled for air 
access to gas burner.

6

Unit, flues, fan and muffler to be installed prior to 
plastering. Muffler is installed prior to fan to 
eliminate fan noise. The muffler is attached to spigot 
by a 150mm reducer.

7

Gas line run to desired position prior to plastering.

8

A minimum height of 150mm from floor needs to be 
available for use of front fascia on firebox.

9

Clearance of 75mm above horizontally run flue. 
50mm to vertical flue.

10 Maximum horizontal run of 5m.

11 All flue components to be riveted together.

12 Ventilation is required under fireplace to allow for 

sufficient air to gas burner. (Note Elevation drawing)

13 Rooms with Gas Open Fires require fresh air vents 

of 400sq centimetres for each Decorative Gas, Coal 
Fire.

Gas Installation

1

Check unit is suitable for intended gas supply.

2

Note position on gas appliance on drawing 
specification on right hand side of appliance.

3

A gas cock has to be fitted prior to gas burner to 
allow unit to be removed for servicing.

4  If material has been installed around firebox and 

access panel below is not accessible the top plate 
can be removed to gain access by removing four 
screws and lifting out top plate.

5

Connection is half inch BSP fitting. Cut and debur 
both ends of pipe. Fit end to gas supply point and 
turn on for approximately 5 seconds to clear dirt 
and grit out of pipe. Connect into gas valve.

6

Turn on the gas and check all connections for leaks 
using approved method for testing. Fix any leaks.

Adjusting Pressure, Pilot 
and Low Fire

1

All settings are set to operate at nominal pressure 
(see data plate). Test points to measure inlet and 
outlet pressure are located on gas valve. Unscrew 
brass screw on test point pressure nipples and 
attach manometer and read pressures with unit 
running. Adjust pressure to data plate requirements.

2

Check low fire if adjusted correctly.

3

Note: Failure to set pressures correctly will void 
warranty on the unit.

Lighting Instructions

Power flue systems are provided with 240 volt
electronic ignition systems.

An on/off wall switch is supplied and fitted with unit. The
fireplace is switched on from wall switch and fan is
initially activated. Power is then sent to valve to light
pilot and main burner will then ignite from pilot.

Burner is turned off by turning off wall switch. Power
flue system does not have a high low switch burner
switch.

Laying the fire - 
Coal & Pebble

Evenly spread a bag of Vermiculite into the burner 

tray. Tray should be completely filled to the top with 
Vermiculite to a depth of approximately 45mm.

Unpack the coals/pebbles contained in a clear 

plastic bag and lay a row of coals/pebbles on the
vermiculite along the back of the burner tray leaving
approximately 12-15mm between them. 

Leave spaces at the edges to allow free flow of gas. 

Place a further row of coals/pebbles directly in front

of the first row but staggered so that the second row
of coals are behind the gaps of the first row leaving
approximately 12-15mm between the rows of each
coal/pebble. 

Lay further rows of staggered coals/pebbles

depending on the size of the basket grate. 

Once the bottom layer is completed, build up 2-3

tiers of coals in a honeycomb pattern to form an
elongated pyramid. 

Lay the coals/pebbles so that some irregularity to

the pile through which the flames may lick, is created. 

Your aim is to build “windows” into the fire through

which the radiant effect may show but at the same
time, not leaving such large gaps between the coals/
pebbles that excessive air may enter and “damp down”
the red glow.

After the fire has been alight for 15 minutes, you

may wish to add the odd coal/pebble or even relay the
fire completely. Allow to cool before touching the
coals/pebbles. 

Experience will enable you to obtain a pleasing

appearance with suitable heat output, but please bear
in mind that it is important to maintain the general
pattern described above and indicated in illustrations.

Commissioning Procedure

Installed correctly the burner should not emit any
fumes into the room. The following procedure should
be undertaken to test that the unit is operating
correctly.

1 After unit has been operating for a short period a
smoke match, smoke tube, carbon dioxide analyser or
similar should be directed at the top opening of the
unit.

2 This procedure should be undertaken with the
following conditions in the room:

• Open or closed windows
• Operation of extraction/exhaust fans, range 
hoods etc
• Operation of other gas appliances
• Operation of optional appliance fan at any speed.

3  Should any spillage be detected the cause must be
rectified before allowing commissioning of unit.

User Instructions

1.  WARNING NOTE: Properly installed and operated
this appliance will not leak gases. Persistent fume emission
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does exist, then
the following immediate action should be taken.

A Open doors and windows to ventilate room.

B Turn the fire off.

C Check for flue blockage and clear if necessary.

D Do not attempt to relight the burner until the cause
of the emission has been identified and rectified. Should
assistance be required contact nearest agent. 

E The gas burner is designed to work in a Kemlan
Horizon electronic power flue ignition system. Working
correctly there will be no spillage. Unit should cut out
if not enough draw to ensure proper functioning.

2 Initially the Kemlan coal fire may burn with a slightly
blue flame. After approximately 20 minutes the fire will
settle down and burn with a yellow flame.

DO NOT use or store flammable materials near 
this appliance. 

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this 
appliance whilst it is in operation. 

Primarily a decorative appliance not certified as a 
space heater.

6 The appliance is a live fuel effect product designed
to operate with luminous flames and may exhibit slight
carbon deposition.

Warranty

Provided the appliance has been correctly installed
according to instructions, Kemlan guarantee the cost of
