For aesthetic purposes it is essential that the hearth and infill plinth area are flat and level.The hearth and infill must also be square
to the back panel. Failure to comply with this could cause the appliance to lean away from the fireplace resulting in an unsatis-
factory installation.
The electrical earth to the property and all wiring must be carried out in accordance with IEE Wiring Regulations (including any
Local Regulations). If you are unsure about this aspect, then professional advice should be sought.This appliance is suitable for use
with a 230V~50Hz (AC) single phase (normal domestic) electrical supply. Connection to the mains supply should be made with
the three core cable (green/yellow -earth, blue - neutral, brown - live) to a fixed fused spur with double pole insulation (minimum
3mm separation of poles) and fused at 3 amp.Take care not to pull or damage the internal wiring to the the fan unit at any time
during installation. Should the mains cable become damaged at any stage, it should only be replaced with the manufacturers sup-
plied cable (part no. F930137). Failure to use a genuine spare could cause a hazard.

If a concealed gas supply is to be used, the supply pipe must be sleeved through walls and floors. If the fire is to be inset into the
cavity leaf, only factory sleeved pipe should be used. For further details see relevant section.A separate isolation device must be
incorporated into the incoming gas supply to facilitate servicing. No more than 1.5 metres of 8mm pipe should be used in the
connection of the gas supply to the appliance, as more could result in an unacceptable drop in pressure.
This appliance must only be installed onto a non-combustible wall or surface.The fire requires a hearth with a non-combustible
surface at least 12mm thick.The top surface of the hearth must be at least 50mm above floor level, or be surrounded by a raised
edge or fixed fender of at least 50mm high.The non-combustible hearth must extend a minimum of 300mm in front of, and 150mm
either side of the live part of the appliance.The hearth must therefore be a minimum of 680mm wide.

An unprotected combustible shelf may be fitted above the appliance, provided it complies with the minimum dimensions stated
below. Protective materials can be used to deflect heat from shelves that are too low.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe. Combustible materials, such as wood,
may be fitted to within 100mm of either side of the frame of the firebox providing it projects no further forward than 100mm.
As with all heating appliances, decorations, soft furnishings and wall coverings (such as blown vinyl, flock and embossed paper)
may discolour or scorch if positioned too close to the fire. If the appliance is fitted to a dry-lined wall, the gap between the plas-
terboard and blocks must be sealed with non-combustible material and any unplastered board replaced with superlux or other
non-combustible material if in direct contact with the appliance.
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required with this appliance. However, the ventilation requirements of other gas
appliances in the same room or space should be taken into consideration. A spillage test should be carried out as described in
the relevant section with the doors and windows both open and closed, and with any extractor fan running on full.Where fitted,
ventilation must comply with the requirements of BS 5440 part 2.Vents directly underneath or within the immediate vicinity of
appliances must not be used as they may adversely affect ODS pilot operation.
