SECTION 02
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a bathroom or shower room, or where steam
may be present.
An extractor fan must not be fitted in the same room or space as the appliance as this
can affect the safety of the appliance.
The fire has been designed to fit into a fireplace or builders opening conforming to BS
1251 (and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying
with the constructional requirements of BS 715.
A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil
burning, the flue and chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation.
Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of joints, flue
sections in loft space and terminals.
The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to
ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as
necessary before the appliance is installed.
Any flue box used must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface
at least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.
The flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, as measured from the
hearth to the top of the flue.
Any flue damper plates or restrictors must be removed and no other restriction fitted to
the flue. Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open
position.
The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more
than one appliance.
There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed
into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such
as class GC1, as regulations allow.
In accordance with BS1289 part 1, pre-cast flues built with directly plastered faces
(front or rear) are not correctly installed as to ensure proper operation with any type of
gas fire.
Depending on the flue construction, on occasions the temperature reached can
cause cracking of the surface plaster through no fault of the appliance.
An air gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal
flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces.
This appliance is suitable for use with a surrounding area or back panel of 150C
minimum rating.

SECTION 04
VENTILATION
This Appliance does not normally require purpose provided ventilation.
However, a second appliance operating within the same room or space must be
taken into consideration when assessing ventilation.
When commissioning the appliance spillage is detected, then amongst other problems
there may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue.
If spillage is detected with windows closed, but the appliance does not spill with the
windows open, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation.
If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault.
Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2.
Air Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be
used as adverse effects to the operation of the Flame Safety Device (FSD) may occur.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue
performance that cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any
other rules in force.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary.
A chair brick or fireback may be left in place, providing that the dimensional
requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See diagram
next page.
This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the
following;
- 225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone
- 125mm (5in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.
- 125mm (5in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715.
Eco 4 may be used in a Pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289.
To a fireplace that has a precast concrete or clay flue block system conforming to
BS1289 or BS EN 1858.
The appliance is suitable for installations conforming to older versions of BS1289 as well
as the current edition.
The flue blocks must have a minimum width not less than 63mm and a cross-sectional
area not less than 13,000mm2.
SECTION 05

10
SECTION 05
Older editions of BS1289 required a cross-sectional area of 13,000mm2.
The current revision of the standard requires 16,500mm2.
The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1806 recommend that there should be an air
space or insulation between the flue blocks and the plaster because heat transfer may
cause cracking on directly plastered flues.
However, generally this appliance is suitable for installations under all circumstances
unless there is a history of cracking problems, remember that faults such as cracking
may be caused by poorly built and restrictive flues, e.g. mortar extrusions, too many
bends, flue heights below three metres, restrictive terminations, etc.
Any existing draught device situated under the fireplace must be sealed off.
The opening area must be non-combustible.
The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 300mm in
depth and 12mm thick.
The top surface must be at least 50mm above the surrounding flooring level, or be
surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm high.
To enable the product of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet at
the back of the appliance must have a 50mm minimum clearance between it and the
back wall of the opening or any other obstruction.
The area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.
The fireplace or builders opening must be reduced to suit the appliance both side to
side and the full depth of the appliance, a decorative back panel i.e. marble, granite
etc must not be used as a closure plate for the appliance please see below.
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the
wall and floor; a combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing
that it complies with the dimensions given below.
From Hearth to Underneath of Shelf with a depth of 150mm is 766mm add 12.5mm in
height for every 25mm increase to the projection of the shelf depth.
Any combustible side walls must be at least 500mm to the side of the radiant heat
source.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e.
flock, blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may
discolour or scorch.

HOLE-IN-THE-WALL INSTALLATIONS
Where the appliance is to be installed as a hole-in-the-wall fireplace, a hearth as
previously detailed for floor level fireplaces shall be fitted on the floor beneath the hole
so as to protect combustible material from heat.
However, if a hearth is not to be used, so as to maintain a minimal and contemporary
look, the appliance must be installed so that every part of any naked flame
or incandescent part of the fire bed is at least 300mm vertically above any
carpet or floor covering.
When no hearth is to be fitted consideration must be given to fixing a
tactile barrier to protect young children, the elderly and the infirm.
A tactile barrier can be in the form of a fender, kerb, hearth, shelf or
horizontal bar all made from non combustible material and fixed not less
than 50mm & not more than 1000mm above the floor level. They should be
Positioned not less than 300mm in front of the appliance.

SECTION 7.1
PREPARING THE OPENING
Before installing the fire, check the flue for correct operation using a smoke pellet, all of
the smoke should be drawn up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal.
If problems are found DO NOT fit the fire until corrective measures have been
completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the convector box in and out of the
opening. Part of the packaging or a dust sheet can be used.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the convector box to the
fireplace to check the fit is good.
Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or back
panel, and that the base is level with the hearth as no leaks are permissible here.
At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not obstructed in
any way.
Remove the fire box and apply the self adhesive sealing strips around the edge of the
rear of the firebox frame, approximately 5mm in from the edge.
CABLE FIXING:
