1.3 FIREP ACE / SURROUND SUITABI ITY
The fire must must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible
floor materials.
If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall combustible material must be
removed from behind it. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc.
could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may
result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.
1.4 SHE F POSITION
The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional
overhang over 150mm.
1.5 F UE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.
1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any
obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in
the open position.
2. Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for
an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The
base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.
3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.
4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s
length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure
of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.
5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the
chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the
terminal / chimney pot outside.
There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of
the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is
important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney /
flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the
brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if
there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a
history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and
5

certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should
be considered.
6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of
the appliance.
1.6 FIRE P ACE OPENING
1.6.1 Fireplace Opening for Engine Only Applications
The front opening of the fire place must be between 580mm and 600mm wide,
between 580mm and 600mm high and 300mm deep. If the opening exceeds
these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from suitable non-
combustible material to produce a correct size opening. Any surround must be
suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage. See below in figure 2.
NOTE :- If installing with a retailer designed surround package please consult
the retailer to determine installation height required for the fire.
When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient

2.2.12 Store the removed burner components in a safe position.
2.2.13 The gas connection to the appliance should be made to the isolating /
inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing. There must be no soldered joints
within the firebox.
2.2.14 Ensure that the hearth (if fitted) is protected from damage and carefully
lift the fire box into the fire opening, then slide it back into position.
Check that the fire box flange fits flush to the sealing face of the fire
surround or wall with no gaps present.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test should be
carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.
2.2.15 Carefully withdraw the fire box from the opening to enable the gas
supply and fire fixing to be completed.
There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the
installer to deal with any type of installation.
The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is
the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.
The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or
alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg. loose
masonary in rear of fire opening) the fire box can be directly secured to the fire
surround using screw fixings (not provided).
To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows-
2.2.16 Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (7mm) holes in the back face of the fire
opening in the positions shown below in figure 13.
Fig. 13

Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the
fire opening. If the clearance at the rear of the fire is at the minimum specified for
a precast flue application, it may be necessary to bend over the lower fixing eyes
after screwing them fully in to the rear of a pre-cast starter block.
2.2.17 Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the
cables through one of the two cable holes on each side of the rear
brackets on the firebox (see figure 14 on page 18 for details of these
holes)
2.2.18 Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and
reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically
downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire.
Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular
hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire
box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.
2.2.19 Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the
tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the
tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut).
2.2.20 Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up
against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a
screwdriver.
2.2.21 Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the
fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to
pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to
be compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.
2.2.22 Refit the burner in reverse order to which it was removed.
NOTE : ENSURE THAT THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE CONTRO
VA VE IS IN THE “ON” POSITION BEFORE RE-FITTING THE
BURNER UNIT
2.2.23 Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas
supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious
damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.
17

The other firebox fixing method is as follows :-
2.2.24 In installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose
masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the
opening using four screws and wall plugs (not provided). Below (figure
14) is a diagram to indicate the hole centre positions available on the
firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.

2.3 GAS TIGHTNESS AND IN ET PRESSURE
2.3.1 Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a
manometer.
2.3.2 Turn on the main gas supply and carry out a gas tightness test.
2.3.3 See section 3.2 for full details of the operating method for the fire.
The fire will then commence its ignition sequence and will light to high.
2.3.4 Check that the gas pressure is 20.0 mbar (+/- 1.0mbar) 8.0 in w.g.(+/-
0.4 in w.g.)
2.3.5 Turn off the fire, remove the manometer and refit the pressure test point
screw. Check the pressure test point screw for gas tightness with the
appliance turned on using a suitable leak detection fluid or detector.
P EASE NOTE - THE WORKING PRESSURE TEST ON THIS PRODUCT
NEEDS TO BE COMP ETED BEFORE THE FUE -BED IS FITTED.

2.4 INSTA ING THE “RENNES” SURROUND
2.4.1 Unpack the surround from the wooden crate, check all parts are present
as per figure 15 overpage and carefully store the components.
2.4.2 The underside of the hearth should be painted with a weak PVA (8 parts
water to 1 part PVA). This will prevent staining penetrating through the
stone. The hearth must be centered to the opening. If the fireplace is
to be installed on a chimney breast ensure that the opening is also
centered to the chimney breast. It is essential that the hearth is
completely level. The hearth must be bedded down on bonding or an
equivalent material. Avoid cement based products and ensure the
hearth is firmly fitted and well supported. Allow the bedding material to
set before any weight is placed onto the hearth. Wipe off any surplus
bonding material with a wet sponge.
2.4.3 Fit bottom section to hearth, ensure it is central before fixing with a
suitable mastic adhesive.
2.4.4 Fit brackets to top of legs, offer leg up to wall and mark position of fixing
hole on wall, use shelf to ensure legs are correctly spaced / positioned.
Remove shelf then cover hearth with dust sheet and drill the fixing
holes. Remove the brackets from the legs, fix the side infills into place
with suitable adhesive and secure the leg fixing brackets only to the
wall. Fit legs to brackets that have been securely attached to the wall
with fixings as detailed in 2.4.5
2.4.5 Assess the chimney breast onto which the fire is to be installed
and ensure that it is of sound construction and suitable for
supporting the weight of the surround. Fixings used to secure the
leg brackets to the masonry of the chimney breast shall be of
expansive stainless steel or galvanised steel type masonary
fixings for dense concrete blockwork or brickwork. Where fixings
are located into light weight blockwork or friable aggregrate
blocks, the fixings shall be of the resin anchor type.
2.4.6 Fix the top infill and shelf infill into place again with suitable mastic
adhesive.
2.4.7 Fit shelf into place ensuring it is correctly aligned with legs, mark the
position of holes for securing brackets on wall, remove shelf and drill
wall and insert fixings in accordance with 2.4.5, these brackets can be
recessed if required.
2.4.8 Once the fireplace is correctly installed, grout all of the joints including
between the fireplace and the wall with a water based cream mastic or
tile grout. Ensure all surplus grout is immediately removed by washing
the stonework using a sponge and clean water.
