1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUIT ABILITY
The fire is suitable for hearth mounting or wall mounting. It must not be fitted
directly onto a carpet or other combustible material. It must not be fitted to com-
bustible walls.
This fire is suitable for the following hearth / surround types:
Non-combustible hearths / surrounds.
Purpose made proprietary hearths / surrounds with a minimum temperature rating
of 150oC.
If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire-
place or fire surround, soft wall coverings such as wallpaper, blown vinyl,
etc. could be affected by the heat and may, therefore scorch or become dis-
coloured. Please bear this in mind when installing or decorating.
1.4 SHELF POSITION
The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 200 mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150 mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150 mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 25 mm for every 25 mm of additional over -
hang over 150 mm.
1.5 SIDE CLEARANCE
Aminimum clearance of 100mm should be allowed on either side of the fire for
servicing. Any fire surround uprights should not project forward by more than
100mm.
NOTE. The fire must be installed so that no part of a combustible side wall when
measured laterally is less than 500mm from the radiants.
1.6 CLOSURE PLATE
Aclosure plate is supplied with this fire and must be fitted. The closure plate must
be sealed to the fireplace or surround opening with suitable adhesive tape. See
section 2.2.2
1.7 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.
a) Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fireplace and is clear of
any obstruction. Any obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must
be removed or locked in the open position.
5

b) Brick / stone built chimneys and 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.
Any under floor air supply to the fireplace must be completely sealed off.
Ensure that the inside of the chimney/flue is in good condition along its length and
check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure of the chimney
during and after the smoke pellet test.
With pre-cast flues it is especially important to check the inside of the flue
for extruded cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue
blocks. If present, these should be removed by rodding the flue before
proceeding with the installation.
Using a smoke pellet, check that there is a positive up draught present 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 chimney 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 certified flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should be
considered.
A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of the
appliance.
1.8 CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE.
1.8.1 Brick Built Chimneys.
The catchment space below the flue spigot should be as deep as
possible, and must not be less than 250mm measured from the bottom
of the flue spigot to the bottom of the catchment space, or to the top of
any “bricking-up” of the fireplace, whichever is the least. See Fig. 1.
The flue spigot must pass through the closure plate at least 25mm and
have a minimum clearance of 50mm between its open end and the
nearest obstruction. There must be a minimum clearance of 165mm
between the back of the closure plate and the back of the catchment
space. See Fig. 1 overpage.
6

The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 440mm
wide, and between 470mm and 650mm high. If the opening is larger
than this, then a surround must be constructed in a suitable non-com
bustible material to create an opening to these limits. Allow a minimum
flat surface of 20mm around the opening to ensure that the closure
plate can be sealed to the fireplace.
Any surround must be sealed to the fireplace to prevent leakage. The
operation of the chimney should be tested a detailed as in section 1.7.
Note. Aflue spigot extension of up to a maximum total length of 125mm
may be fitted if necessary , providing that a minimum clearance
50mm between its open end and nearest obstruction is always
maintained.
Fig.1. Chimney Catchment Space.
1.8.2 Fitting to Pre-Fabricated twin wall metal Flue Boxes.
The appliance may be fitted to a twin wall metal flue box conforming to
the constructional requirements of BS 715, (for example the Selkirk LFE
125 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm
internal and minimum internal dimensions of 160mm deep by 580mm
high by 350mm wide. There are no maximum dimensional requirements
for the box. The top face of the box must be insulated with a minimum
thickness of 50mm of non-combustible mineral wool insulation or similar
material. The flue box must stand on a non-combustible base of
minimum thickness 12mm.
7

1.8.3 Fitting to Pre-Cast Flue Installations.
The pre-cast opening must be a minimum of 122.7cm2or
equivalent cross-sectional area and have a minimum effective flue
height of 3 metres. The flue spigot restrictor must be removed when
installing into pre-cast flue applications. This appliance has been test
ed for use in a pre-cast flue block 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
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 damaging wall surfaces.
1.9 HEARTH FITTING
This appliance must only be installed on to a level concrete or non-
combustible hearth. The feet must not be removed when installing
directly onto a hearth.The hearth material must be a minimum thickness
of 13 mm with the outer perimeter of the hearth panel at least 50 mm
above the floor level, to discourage the placing of carpet or other floor
coverings over it. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the
fire opening and have a minimum width of 760 mm and a minimum
projection of 350 mm forwards from the fire opening.
1.10 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring
system in the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut
the fire off in the event of partial or complete blockage of the flue
causing a build up of combustion products in the room in which the fire
is operating. The following are important warnings relating to the
spillage monitoring system:
The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the
Installer.The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of action.
When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged, only a complete
original Manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to replace
individual parts on the pilot system on the appliance, only a complete
pilot assembly (including thermocouple) may be fitted.
