REGULATORY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE NOTED PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
This gas appliance M ST be installed by a GAS SAFE registered installer by law. It must be installed in
accordance to these installation instructions and the GAS SAFETY (Installation & se) REG LATIONS 1998 as
amended. Non compliance of this law may lead to prosecution and it is in the interest of you and your
family that this condition is observed.
The installation of this appliance must be in accordance with the relevant parts of the LOCAL AND
NATIONAL B ILDING REG LATIONS as issued by the Department of the Environment or B ILDING
STANDARD (Scotland Consolidation) REG LATIONS issued by the Scottish Development Department and
the following relevant British Standards:
BS5871 Part 2 Installation of Inset Live Fuel Effect Gas Fires
BS5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installation of Flues and Ventilation
BS6891 Installation of Gas Pipe-work
BS6461 Part 1 Installation of Chimneys and Flues
BS1251 Open Fireplace Components
BS715/BS EN 1856-2 Metal Flue Boxes / Metal Flue Pipes for Gas Appliances
BS EN 1858 Chimneys Components & Concrete Flue Blocks
IS813:1996 Domestic Gas Installation (Republic of Ireland)
Prior to installation ensure that the gas supply is compatible with the appliance, this appliance must only be
used on natural gas at a supply pressure of 20 mbar as marked on the data plate on the appliance and the
carton.
This appliance is only to be installed into a builder opening which must be constructed of non-combustible
materials confirming to BS1251 or a suitable flue-box complying with the requirements of BS715/BS EN
1856-2.
If the product is being installed into a builders opening the chimney must be at least 3 metres in height and
should be swept before installation if it has been used for the burning of solid fuel (e.g. coal or wood). The
chimney must only serve as a flue-way to this appliance and must have no openings to any other room. The
opening should be inspected and any exposed brickwork should be repaired where necessary. The chair-
brick (if applicable) should be removed. Ensure that the chimney/flue only serves one fireplace. Remove or
securely fix open and dampers or register plates.
If the product is being installed into a fabricated Flue-box (to BS715) it must be installed onto a non-
combustible surface with a thickness of at least 12mm.
The flue should be checked for draw using a smoke bomb or similar, if there is a definite draw then the
installation of the appliance can proceed.

No purpose made ventilation is normally required for this appliance when installed in G.B. If the appliance is
being installed in I.E then refer to I.S 813:1996 (Domestic Gas Installation—National Standards Authority of
Ireland). Ventilation areas (if applicable) should be checked periodically to ensure there is no obstruction,
even though none is normally required for this appliance.
When installing into conventional chimneys or 7” dia.(175mm) flues with an effective height of over 5metres
the restrictor baffle supplied may be fitted to increase the efficiency of the appliance. It is mandatory that
the safe clearance of products be checked by performing a smoke match test as described on the product
data label.
SPILLAGE TEST: To check for satisfactory clearance of products of combustion, close all doors and windows
and leave the appliance burning on HIGH for five minutes. Insert a lit smoke match just into the top of the
fire opening and move it left and right, all the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs allow a
further 5 minutes and repeat the test. If spillage still occurs turn off the appliance and seek expert advise . If
an extractor fan is situated in the room the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a
connecting room with an extractor fan the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room open and
the extractor fan running. If the appliance spills with the restrictor fitted then the restrictor should be
removed and the spillage test repeated. If the spillage test continues to fail expert advise should be sought
and additional ventilation may have to be provided.
This appliance must only be installed on to a suitable hearth with a minimum thickness of 12mm. The
appliance must not be installed directly onto carpet of other combustible floor materials. The fireplace
surround (back-panel) must have a temperature rating of at least 150oC.
Do not place soft wall coverings (i.e. embossed papers etc,) furniture or other combustible items too close to
the fires as they may discolour or scorch.
Do not place or throw rubbish or otherwise on the fuel-bed.
Do not place any combustible materials or flooring (i.e. carpets etc,) on any part of the hearth.
WARNING: This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fireguard should be used
for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. The fireguard should conform to BS8423 : 2002
(Fireguards or use with Gas Heating Appliances).
Important Note: It is quite normal for a flame effect gas appliance to experience a small amount of soot or
staining to some parts of the fuel effect components. If this becomes excessive it may because the fuel bed
is not fitted correctly—this should be checked according to these installation instructions prior to
contacting a service engineer.
It is very important that you arrange for a GAS SAFE registered engineer to service your appliance every year
– during this service the engineer will remove the appliance and check for debris, check the operation of the
flue and check the operation of the appliance. This is important for you and your families safety.
NEVER place any rubbish or otherwise onto the fire—this will affect the way the product operates and may
affect the warranty of the product.
NEVER place more ceramic components onto the fuel bed than specified in the instructions.
NEVER touch the ceramics when the appliance has recently been switched off—these components retain
heat and may cause burns. Leave the appliance to sufficiently cool prior to any contact of the ceramics.

SITING THE APPLIANCE
Fireplace Opening
This fire is suitable for fitting into non combustible fireplace back panels with a temperature rating of
at least 150oC. (This is also known as CLASS”O” If in doubt please contact the supplier of the back
panel supplier to check suitability). It is recommended that the back panel be constructed of 3
sections with joints across the upper level of the fireplace opening to allow for expansion and
contraction. The installation of this appliance into an unsuitable back panel, where this component
subsequently cracks, will not be deemed to be a fault of the appliance. This appliance is suitable for
installation into a Be Modern approved back panel where it is NOT installed as a closure plate (i.e.
the fireplace opening must be coincidental with the back panel opening).
The fireplace opening must be between 405mm and 450mm wide and between 555mm and 570mm high. If the
opening intended for the appliance is in excess of these dimensions then a suitable surround must be constructed
of non-combustible material to produce an opening within this range of dimensions.
A flat face of a minimum 470mm wide and 590mm high must be provided around the fireplace opening to ensure a
good seal is formed. In addition it is important to ensure that the base of the fireplace opening is flat and level with
the hearth surface to ensure a secure and aligned installation of the appliance.
The minimum hearth dimensions are shown in the diagram above. The upper surface of the hearth must be a
minimum of 50mm above the floor and must protrude a minimum distance of 300mm out from the fireplace
opening. (It is important to note that should a spacer of any kind be used to bring the appliance out of the fireplace,
then the 300mm dimension must be taken from the most forward surface of this spacer).
Installation into a Brick Chimney
When the appliance is being installed into a brick chimney there must be sufficient depth behind the appliance to
accommodate any falling debris. This debris collection void should be capable of accommodating up to twelve (12)
litres of volumetric space. The appliance will require a debris collection space behind the firebox of 23mm to achieve
this.
Installation into a Prefabricated Twin Wall Metal Flue Box
This appliance can be installed into a prefabricated metal twin wall flue box providing it complies to the requirements of
BS715 / BS EN 1856-2. The box must have an insulated flue with a minimum diameter of 125mm (5”) diameter and a
minimum effective overall height of 3 metres.
The top outer face of the flue box should be insulated to prevent heat loss with a layer of mineral wool insulation or
similar. The metal flue box (to BS715) must stand on a non-combustible surface with a minimum thickness of 12mm.
