2. APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To
ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum,
during installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered
vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before
and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that
the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene
bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive
hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such waste.
Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend
you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work
area and always wash your hands before eating or drinking.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or
asbestos related products.
* When converted using Kit 0595221
The appliance data label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can be seen by
removing the lower hanging trim / firefront casting.

The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and the
result is 63 % (Gross). The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this
efficiency calculation. The test data from which it has been calculated has been certified
by Advantica Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK
Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
The conversion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net
efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding
down to the nearest whole number.

Figure 1. Hearth and fireplace opening dimensions

3.2.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations
! It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 1.
! Chic, Envy, Heritage and Westminster models.
If a hearth is not fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance from the base of
the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at least 72mm.
Where
there is no floor covering or carpet and the floor is of a type that is likely to be
covered in such a way in the future then the distance from the base of the fireplace
opening in the wall to the floor level should be increased to at least 147mm. The
minimum shelf height will have to be taken from the base of the fireplace opening.
Luxor and Opulent models.
If a reduced depth hearth is fitted fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance
from the base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at least
72mm.
It is recommended that the reduced hearth has a depth from the fixing plane
of the fire of 100mm minimum. This is necessary to support the lower front casting.
Where there is no floor covering or carpet and the floor is of a type that is likely to
be covered in such a way in the future then the distance from the base of the
fireplace opening in the wall to the floor level should be increased to at least
147mm.
!
To protect from the risk of burns and ignition of clothing a tactile separator shall be
used. The hearth detailed in section 3.9 meets the requirements for a tactile separator. If
this is not used then a 625mm long fender, kerb, horizontal bar, or other barrier, being
fixed not less than 50mm above floor level
and positioned 300mm in front of the fixing
plane of the fire will meet the requirement.
3.2.2 To a fireplace incorporating a metal
flue box conforming to BS EN 1856 Part 1 or
BS 715 with a minimum internal depth of
150mm. Incombustible mineral wool
insulation of not less than 50mm thickness
must be applied to the top surface of the
hotbox (See figure 2) and it must stand on a
non-combustible hearth (See figure 1).
3.2.3 To a fireplace that has a precast
concrete or clay flue block system
conforming to BS1289 or BS EN 1806. 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
Page 9
INSTALLER GUIDE
© Baxi Heating U.K. Limited 2006.
Figure 2. Metal flue box

13,000mm2.Older editions of BS1289
required a cross-sectional area of
13,000mm2. The current revision of the
standard requires 16,500mm2. This
appliance is suitable in both cases. The
total depth of the opening measured from
the finished front of the fireplace
(Including plaster, surround etc.) must be
not less than 120mm (See figure 3).
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.
3.2.4 If the fireplace opening is greater
than the acceptable dimensions given in this guide, do not use the back of a fire
surround or marble to reduce the opening. This may cause cracking of the surround
back or marble.
3.3 The following flues are suitable:
! 225mm x 225mm conventional brick flue.
If a flue liner is used, it must be a minimum of 125mm diameter. The liner must
be sealed to the surrounding area above the fireplace opening and to the top of the
chimney. An approved terminal must be fitted.
! A properly constructed precast flue conforming to B.S 1289 or BS EN 1806.
!
A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 127mm. See B.S 6461 Part 1 for suitable
materials. Metal flue pipes must comply with BS EN 1856 or BS 715.
3.3.1 The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3m.
3.3.2 The flue must be clear of any obstruction and its base must be clear of debris.
3.3.3
The flue must be completely sealed so that combustion products do not come into
contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.

Figure 3. Pre-cast fireplace

3.3.4 The flue must serve only one fireplace.
3.4 The flue must conform to BS 5440: Part 1 in design and installation.
The flue, measured from the bottom of the fireplace opening to the bottom of the
terminal, shall be not less than 3m in actual vertical height. When calculated in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex A, the minimum equivalent
height of the flue
shall be 2.0m of 125mm dia. flue pipe.
3.5 The flue must not be used for any other appliance or application.
3.6
Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not possible
they must be fixed in the open position.
3.7
If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney, which was previously used
for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should be
inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
3.8
If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop any
draughts.
3.9 The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth unless the
conditions of section 3.2.1.1 are met (N.B. conglomerate marble hearths are considered
as non-combustible). The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class
“O”-150°C surround. The hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of
the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor level to discourage the
placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets (See figure 1).
3.10
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by
the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should be made
good if necessary. The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a good
seal with the hotbox can be made.
Page 11
INSTALLER GUIDE

3.11
The minimum height from the base of the fireplace opening to the underside of
any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is detailed below.
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum height = 750mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 750mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over
150mm (See Graph 1).
3.12 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g.
embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured
when close to a heating appliance. Please
bear this in mind when installing.
3.13 The appliance must not be installed in
any room, which contains a bath, or shower or
where steam is regularly present.
3.14 An extractor fan may only be used in
the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance
is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the
spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.

Figure 4. Removal of combustible
cladding (Shown with the ‘Chic’
fascia)
Graph 1. Combustible shelf clearances

3.15 Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2 and
in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available
3.16 Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a room, which is built entirely
below ground level (See BS 5871 Pt2).
3.17 If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from the area covered by the fascia. The cladding must also
not touch the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the actual fascia is used as a
template to mark the area for combustible cladding removal and that this area is
increased by at least 2mm all round. Ensure that the depth of the cladding will not
prevent the fitting or subsequent removal of the fascia.
3.18 Proprietary terminals must comply with BS 715 or BS 1289. Any terminal or
termination must be positioned in accordance with BS 5440 Part 1 to ensure that the
products of combustion can be safely dispersed into the outside atmosphere. Where the
appliance is connected to an unlined brick chimney it is generally unnecessary for the
chimney pot to be replaced or for a terminal to be fitted unless the flue has a diameter
smaller than 170mm.
3.19 The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the
appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer
should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have
been thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances should
the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers replacement
part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components are not replaceable.
3.20
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly the infirm and pet animals.
3.21
The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the fascia to a corner wall
having combustible material or any other combustible surface which projects beyond
the front of the appliance is shown in figure 5.
A 10mm access clearance from a non-combustible surface is necessary at the left side
(See figure 5).

5. FIREPLACE CHECK
5.1 Fireplace check.
5.1.1 Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 3.2. This may
entail removing the fireback and infill material behind the fireback.
5.1.2 Fireplace general condition
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that the hotbox can be installed
without it rocking and so that a good seal can be made at the bottom front of the box.
The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by the
hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should be made
good if necessary. If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible
cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area covered by the fascia. The
cladding must also not touch the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the actual fascia
is used as a template to mark the area for combustible cladding removal and that this
area is increased by at least 2mm all round.
5.1.3 Soundness for appliance attachment
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1) By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2)
Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together
with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 9 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the
proper tools and equipment.
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
the fibre plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back is sound enough to take the
eyebolts. If these areas have deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made
sound with a suitable cement.
5.1.4 Installations using a metal flue box
The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a minimum
50mm layer of mineral wool or equivalent insulation (See figure 2).
5.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a

defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few minutes and repeat
the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may need remedial work –
Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow through the flue.
6. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the electronic ignition system
performs satisfactorily.
Fit the battery to the ignition block located below the burner tray at the left side (See
figure 7). The positive terminal (+) is to the top as you insert.
! Depress the control pivot plate as far as it will go.
This should close the ignition circuit. Sparks should
be seen tracking from the electrode pin to the pilot tip
(See figure 8).
! If there are no sparks make the following checks.
! Check condition of battery and that it is correctly
fitted.
! If the above is satisfactory, check the ignition
circuit and components (See the servicing section in
this manual).

Figure 8. Slider control

7. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any direction. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve for isolating the gas
supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then, before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace
it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the hotbox and run to the ‘T’
connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the
hotbox must be kept away from the area which will be taken by the hotbox when it is
installed. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet ‘T’ connector is 25mm above the
fireplace floor.
The inlet ‘T’ connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.
8. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION
8.1 Appliance preparation.
