1.0 I PORTANT NOTES
© 2013 Focal Point Fires plc.

This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be present. The fire has been
designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 (and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suit-
able flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. The flue box 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 should 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.
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. 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. The flue must be connected to only
one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e. not shared with a gas back boiler). 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 fit-
ted, such as class GC1, as regulations allow.
Radiant models only: This appliance has been tested for use in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289. In accordance with BS
1289 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. In some instances of this flue construction, temperature cracking of the surface plaster may occur through no
fault of the appliance. An air gap or some form of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal flue temperatures from dam-
aging wall surfaces. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and ter-
minals.
These appliances have been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm. This appliance is suitable for
use with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150OC minimum rating.
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left in situ, providing
that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See figure 1.
All models : 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.
Pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289 (Radiant models only).

Note: The spigot outlet of the fire is 565mm high, but should fit into the gather at the top of the fireplace as the appliance is fitted. Any
modifications to the fireplace opening must be to a height of 560mm min.
Radiant models: opening depths, include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation. Opening DEPTH should be
200mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused, or previously used only with a gas appliance. DEPTH
should be 240mm or greater for a flue used for solid fuel of oil burning appliances.
Convector models: opening depths, include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation. Opening DEPTH should be
267mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused, or previously used only with a gas appliance. DEPTH
should be 307mm or greater for a flue used for solid fuel of oil burning appliances.
Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off. The opening wall must be non-combustible.
The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 12mm thick. The top surface must be at least 50mm above the
surrounding floor level, or be surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm high.
To enable the products of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet at the back of the appliance must have a 50mm min-
imum 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.
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.
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 fireplace opening, providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm. Any com-
bustible 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.
Radiant models have a mounting depth of 180mm. In accordance with BS 5871 part 2, minimum debris collection volumes are required
behind the installed appliance. These are shown below and as dimension ‘X’ in figure 1.

No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of other appliances operating in the
same room or space must be taken into consideration when assessing ventilation. If spillage is detected when commissioning the appli-
ance, then amongst other problems there may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does
not spill with the windows open, but spillage is detected with the windows closed, 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. Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the
appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS 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.
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue boxes
provided that the minimum dimensions shown in figure 2 are com-
plied with.
Constructional Note: The frame of the fire, any back panel or
other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed together so that
there is no possibility of leakage between them. Adequate clear-
ances to combustible materials (e.g. false chimney breast construc-
tion) must be maintained.
The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabri-
cated box shall be complied with at all times. To fit the fire
using the cable fixing kit, some minor adaption may be necessary
for certain flue boxes. A check should be made to ensure the fire-
box does not obscure the flue box outlet. The firebox, base of the
flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws
to secure installation. It is important that the sealing requirements
of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue box is well
sealed to any back or infill panel. N te: The DEPTH dimension is
inclusive of any back or infill panel.
Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read all the instructions before continuing to unpack
or install this appliance.
Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the cardboard packing pieces, and any other
bags or boxes containing fittings or other parts. When all loose parts have been removed, the outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appli-
ance. Check that the components supplied correlate with the component checklist given in section 7.1. Please dispose of all the packaging mate-
rials at your local recycling centre.
