1. SAFETY
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres
(RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to
these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these articles to
ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release
of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation and
servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any
dust and soot accumulated in and around the stove before and after working on
the stove. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items
are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly
labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive
hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such
waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we
recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or
drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or
drinking. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.
Installer
Firefox stoves are efficient appliances giving off convected, conducted and radiated
heat. All the surfaces of the stove, except the controls, are working surfaces and
become hot in use. They must not be touched or have any combustible objects or
materials placed on or near them. A fire guard complying with BS 8423 should be
fitted for the protection of young children, the elderly, the infirm or pet animals.
The appliance is fitted with a flue safety device. f the appliance closes down after a
period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer should be informed to stop
using the appliance until the installation and appliance have been thoroughly
checked. Under no circumstances should the flue safety device be altered or
bypassed in any way. Only a genuine manufacturers replacement part should be
fitted.
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling:

issued by the Scottish Executive.
n Northern reland, the current edition of the Building regulations (Northern reland)
issued by the Department of the Environment for Northern reland.
n the republic of reland the installation must be carried out by a competent person
and also conform to the relevant parts of:
a) The current edition of S 813 “Domestic Gas nstallations”
b) All relevant national and local rules in force.
Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant
British Standard Code of Practice.
3.2 The Hearth.
The appliance must be mounted on a non-combustible hearth (N.B. conglomerate
marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The hearth material must be at
least 12mm thick. The hearth must protrude at least 150mm (6”) in front of the stove
body. n most buildings with solid concrete floors this requirement will be met by the
floor itself.
3.3 Clearances.
Clearances from combustible and non- combustible materials must be at least those
shown in figure 1.
I PORTANT: Reducing the clearance distance at the rear of the stove (especially
with non-combustible surfaces) can result in the stove switching off. This occurs when
the thermal switch operates due to insufficient cool air.

Figure 1. Dimensions and Clearances

Page 10
3.4 Flue / Chimney.
-The stove is approved for use with 127mm (5 inch)
diameter insulated Selkirk
insta-lock gas vent.
-The spigot is designed to be compatible with a
selkirk 5 S L - DH draft hood connector. The inner
sleeve will require reducing in length so that it
protrudes 25mm below the outer sleeve (See figure
2).
-Before you install the stove make sure the chimney
flue outlet is correctly positioned to align with the flue
outlet on the stove and that the chimney is in good
condition. f not, a chimney liner must be installed or a suitable class 2 gas flue used.
A draught is necessary to ensure the products of combustion are fully evacuated.
Connect and seal the stove flue collar to the chimney using full depth of collar. The
flue must have a minimum effective height of 3 metres (10ft), however, to ensure
optimum performance we recommend 3.66 metres (12ft) or higher. The flue must be
free of obstruction and any dampers must be fixed in a permanently open position.
Ensure that the chimney is not closed and that it has been swept prior to the stove
being installed. Make sure that rain, birds or any foreign bodies cannot get into the
chimney and cause blockage or damage. This problem can normally be overcome by
fitting an approved gas cowl. t is essential to the effective running of your stove that
the chimney draws properly and allows the products of combustion to escape.
3.5 Ventilation.
-Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. n GB reference should be made to BS5871 Part 1
and in E reference should be made to the current edition of S 813 “ Domestic gas
installations” which make clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.
-An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. f the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
3.6 Location.
This appliance must not be installed in a private garage or any room, which contains
a bath, or shower or where steam is regularly present.
3.7 Propane gas (944 anual Only).
Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a cellar, basement or other room
which is built entirely below ground level (See Gas Safety ( nstallation and use)
Regulations)

10. FINAL REVIEW
Final Review.
- Hand the literature pack with this guide to the customer.
- Visually inspect the appliance. Clean off any marks incurred during installation.
- Advise the customer how to operate the appliance. Point out that lighting instruction
details are on the information label attached to the burner at the bottom of the
appliance.
- Explain to the customer that the appliance has a flame failure & spillage monitoring
system. Point out the explanation of this system shown in the owner guide under
“Operating your stove”. Advise that if the stove goes out for any reason, wait at least
ten minutes before relighting. Stress that if the monitoring system repeatedly shuts off
the stove, the appliance should be switched off and a specialist should be consulted.
- Advise the customer that they should read their owner guide before operating the
stove and always follow the advice in the section headed “Cleaning your stove”.
- Stress that no extra ceramic fuel effect pieces must be added over and above
those supplied with the appliance and that any replacements must only be the
authorised spares. Warn that ignoring this advice could cause incomplete
clearance of the products of combustion with consequent health hazards.
- Advise the customer that the appliance will operate to its maximum potential if the
flue is primed during the first 20 – 30 minutes of use. To do this, simply turn the
control knob to its highest setting. This will also burn off any carbon deposits that may
have formed during previous use.
f using the appliance for long periods it is beneficial to change between settings. This
will also help to remove any carbon deposits that may form during use.
- Recommend that the appliance should be serviced by a competent person at least
annually.
- f the appliance is in premises in the United Kingdom occupied by a tenant, point
out that by law a landlord must have any gas appliance, flue and pipework which is
situated in a tenant’s premises checked for safety at least every 12 months.
- Explain to the customer that when operating the stove for the first time, some
