INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Preliminary Notes Before Installation
This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire. It provides radiant and con-
vected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest type catalytic convertor burner
technology.
The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen Depletion System). It
must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If replaced then manufacturers original parts
must be used.
The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the Installation
Requirements.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only used in a suf-
ficiently ventilated space. A minimum of 100cm2 (15.5in2) purpose provided ventilation is
required for this appliance. An openable window or louvre is also required. This appliance is
factory set for operation on the gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data
plate.
The room size should be a minimum of 23m3(812ft3) to allow adequate circulation of air
and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but
these spaces must not be separated by a door. In order to convert from cubic feet (ft3) to
cubic metres (m3) divide the room volume (in ft3) by 35.3. This appliance is intended as a
secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room without some form of
background heating present.
The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping area. The
appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the catalytic converter cleans the
flue products to provide a complete combustion system, which is intrinsically safe.
The appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or rules in force. It is strongly recommended that a
CORGI registered engineer is used for this purpose, as they are the only persons approved
by the HSE under the above regulations.
On initial lightup of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the first few hours of
operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted from outlet grille, this should be
no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room should be well ventilated with all windows
and doors open during this period.
Read all these instructions before commencing installation.

IMPORTANT NOTES
This appliance is a catalytic flueless flame effect gas fire, providing radiant and convected warmth. It is designed
to operate on Natural Gas following factory set adjustments, (see Data Plate on appliance for gas type and pres-
sure).
It is the LAW that all gas appliances and fittings are installed by a competent person (such as a CORGI registered
fitter) and in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, the relevant British
Standards for Installation, Codes of Practice and the Manufacturers' Instructions. The installation shall also be
carried out in accordance with the following regulations:
The Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment, the Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish Development Department.
Relevant British standards insofar as the relevant areas are not covered by these instructions.
Note: For Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to the relevant standards governing installation. (IS 813:
1996)
Failure to comply with these regulations could lead to prosecution and deem the warranty invalid.
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and used only in a sufficiently ventilated
space. A minimum of 100cm2(15.5 in2) purpose provided ventilation is required for this appliance, an openable
window or louvre is also required. To reduce the possibility of draughts entering the room via the air vent, we
recommend the use of "Black Hole" or "Vortex" type vents featuring internal baffles.
It should be noted that heaters create warm air currents. These currents move heat to wall surfaces next to the
heater. Installing the heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating the heater where impurities in the
air (such as tobacco smoke) exist, may discolour walls.
Consult ALL instructions before installation and use of this appliance.
This appliance is free from any asbestos material.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
If the appliance is to be sited near a disused natural draught flue it is recommended that the old flue should be
partially sealed off to prevent draughts, however some ventilation will be required to prevent condensation.
The appliance is designed to be wall mounted. It is possible to install the appliance onto certain types of com-
bustible materials - see section entitled ‘Clearances to combustible materials’.
In the event that the fire is sited near a disused or unserviceable fireplace served by a natural draught flue, any
existing under grate draught device should be sealed off to prevent loss of heat or creation of draughts. The
passageway into the flue should be partially sealed to prevent excessive draughts, however some ventilation
will be required in the old flue to prevent condensation and dampness. Advice should be sought from your
local building control officer.
ROOM SIZING
All Models : The room size should be a minimum of 23m3(e.g. 10’1” x 10’1” x 8’) to allow adequate circula-
tion of air and ensure the correct operation of the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these
spaces must not be separated by a door. To calculate a room size in cubic metres (m3) divide the room vol-
ume in cubic feet (ft3) by 35.3.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
This appliance is designed to be wall-hung. Do not recess any part of the appliance into the wall.
This Appliance may be installed in any room in a home except bedrooms and bathrooms.
Installation in living rooms is common, however other rooms such as kitchens, dining rooms and hallways are
permitted, providing a suitable natural gas supply is available, and rooms sizing and ventilation requirements
are strictly adhered to (see section 4.1).
The appliance is designed to be versatile, and as such will operate correctly when exposed to normal gentle
draughts experienced within the home. It is not recommended, however that the appliance be installed in areas
where it is likely to be exposed to persistent strong draughts, that may be generated by outside doors or win-
dows, air vents etc. It is recommended that the appliance should not be installed within one metre of any air
vent.
