(no power fan required . No additional ventilation required.
- Air supply and flue-gases go to outside atmosphere through wall or
roof. A maximum horizontal extension of 6 meters is possible.
- Remote Control option on all appliances.
- Meets the essential requirements of the European Gas Appliance
Directive (GAD and carries the CE mark.
2. SAFETY AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
Before installation, ensure that the local distribution conditions
(identification of the type of gas and pressure and the adjustment of
the appliance are compatible.
This gas appliance is factory set and shall not be adjusted by the
installer.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or any asbestos related products.
The pilot and flame sensing device fitted to this fire is also a safety
device. If for any reason any part of the pilot assembly is to be
replaced the entire assembly including the pilot burner, thermocouple,
electrode and injector must be exchanged complete for a pilot assembly
from the original manufacturer only.
Ventilation
This appliance is room-sealed and doesn't require purpose provided
ventilation.
2.1 General safety
It is the law in the UK that aallllgas appliances, are installed by a
competent person in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and
Use Regulations (as amended , the relevant British Standards for
Installation work, Building Regulations, Codes of Practice and the
manufacturers instructions.
The installation should also be carried out in accordance with the
following where relevant:
BS5871 Part1 BS5440 Parts 1 & 2 BS1251.
Building Regulations Document J (as applicable .

UK/IRL
5
UK/IRL
4
Building Regulations and Standards issued as relevant by the
Department of the Environment or the Scottish Development
Department.
In the Republic of Ireland installation should be carried out in
accordance with IS813, ICP3, IS327, Building Regulations, Codes of
Practice, the manufacturers instructions and any other rules in force.
Failure to comply with the above could leave the installer liable to
prosecution and invalidate the appliance warranty.
Safety instructions for the user: see chapter 9.
3. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
N te:
Since the appliance is a source of heat, circulation of air occurs.
Therefore it is of importance that you do not use the appliance
shortly after a renovation of the home. Because of the natural
circulation of air, moist and volatile components from paint, building
materials, carpet etc. will be attracted. These components can settle
themselves down onto cold surfaces in the form of soot.
As on all heat producing appliances, soft furnishings such as blown
vinyl wallpaper placed too near to the appliance may become
scorched or discoloured. This should be born in mind when installing
the appliance.
3.1 Builders pening and surr und
The appliance can be installed in the following situations:
In a non-combustible fireplace or builders opening. This could be either
an existing builders opening or a new made prefab builders opening.
For the measurements, see figure 1 and index.
Although the appliance is tested for installation without a hearth, the
appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets. If the
appliance is placed on a combustible floor then a fibrelux or similar
heatproof board of 12 mm thickness should be placed under it. Any
under floor vents or openings within the builders opening should be
sealed off.
Do not place the lintel, surround or marble stone directly onto the
appliance. If possible, apply a lintel made of cement or something
similar.
Isolate the appliance with a ceramic blanket (25 mm . See also
chapter 4: Installation instructions.
Preferred choice for insulation is unbound insulation wool (at
1000 °C gives no smell .

3.1 Builders pening and surr und (c ntinuing)
If the builders' opening is constructed out of non-combustible
composition board (Fibrelux and you install the appliance without a
mantel then:
- Ventilate the space above the appliance (min. 1000 mm2 .
- Always fit the DC convection set.
- The plaster of the outside has to be resistant to a high
temperature. Use therefore the plaster materials especially made for
this, to prevent discoloring (min. 100 °C temperature resistant .
If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible
cladding, the cladding must be removed from the area covered by the
surround.
The minimum height from the top surface of the fire to the underside
of any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is as
follows:
- For a shelf up to 150 mm deep – Minimum height = 350 mm
(fig. 1 .
- If the shelf depth is greater than 150 mm add 50 mm to the upper-
clearance height for every 25 mm increase in shelf depth.
- Side clearance = Minimum distance from the side of the fire frame
to combustible material = 150 mm.

3.2 Flue requirements
The appliance is of the type C11/C31. The appliance will need to be
supplied with the approved flue pipes and terminal, it is not possible to
supply your own.
The minimum effective height of the flue system must be 1 m.
Terminal locations, through the wall as well as through the roof. See
figure 3.
Flue routing;
- a horizontal extension with elbows is allowed for a maximum of 6
meter (depending on the type and situation .
- vertical max. 12 meter.
Determine on the base of the table 2 and 3, depending on the type
and terminal position, if the desired situation is possible.
To establish this you will need to calculate:
-The effective height (this is the real difference in height between the
upper side of the appliance and the terminal .
- The total horizontal extension. This is the total horizontal flue length
where:
• each elbow, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 2 meters.
• each 45-degree bend, which is in the horizontal area, counts for 1
meter.
• elbows and bends at the transition of horizontal to vertically are
not to be counted.
• the wall mounted terminal counts for 1 meter.
FFlluuee rreessttrriiccttoorr
If applicable, in the table is also stated the size of a flue restrictor.
This restrictor needs to be fitted in the combustion chamber when
placing the appliance ( see chapter 4.2 . Normally the smallest flue
restrictor is fitted.

3.2 Flue requirements (c ntinuing)
3.2.1 Terminal p siti n
Verify if the required terminal position meets the local installation
regulations regarding disturbance, good functioning and ventilation.
(Also see: safety requirements .
NNoottee::
The terminal must be located so that the outlet is not obstructed. If
the flue terminal is located within 2 meters of a footway, path or
where people could come into contact with it then a suitable
terminal guard must be fitted.
Terminals located close to shared walkways, footpaths etc. could be
subject to legal constraints and this should be pointed out to the
customer before installation. If in any doubt about flue location
advice should be sought from local building control, or if appliance-
related, from the manufacturer including wherever possible a
dimensioned sketch.
Avoid locating the terminal in close proximity to plastic materials
such as gutters or other combustibles. If this is unavoidable then a
suitable deflector should be made.
Some important requirements for a good functioning are:
The wall-mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0,5
meters off:
- Corners of the building.
- Below eaves.
- Balcony's etc. unless the duct is dragged to the front side of the
overhanging part.
The roof mounted terminal has to be at a distance of at least 0,5
meters of the sides of the roof, excluded the ridge.

You can connect the appliance onto an existing chimney. The existing
chimney then functions as air supply, where a flexible stainless steel
liner (to BS715 of 100 mm performs the flue function.
Requirements:
- Any existing chimney used as an air supply must only service this
appliance.
- A chimney that has previously been used for solid fuel must be swept
before use.
- The existing chimney needs to be airtight.
- The existing chimney needs to have an opening of min. 150 x 150
mm.
- The chimney needs to be intact and well looked after.
- Use the adjustable roof-mounted-terminal especially made for this,
and the chimney connection set.
- The minimum distance between two terminals should be at least 450
mm.
