2.4 Manual Turn OFF
In the event that the appliance needs to be turned OFF manually, for instance, if the remote
control is lost or the batteries become totally flat, the control valve must be accessed and the
switch flipped to OFF (marked “0”).
The picture below shows the control valve.
The control valve is located behind the control hatch in the Base of the appliance.
2.5 Cleaning and Maintenance
This appliance should be inspected and serviced once a year by a qualied, competent and
registered person.
The inspection and maintenance must at least ensure that the appliance is working correctly
and safely.
It is advisable to clean the appliance of any dust and debris regularly during the heating season
and especially if the appliance has not been used for some time. This can be done with a soft
brush and a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth and if required a non-abrasive cleaning agent. Do
not use corrosive or abrasive substances to clean the appliance.
The glass can be wiped clean with a soft cloth. If the inside of the glass continues to require
cleaning contact your service engineer.

3. Installation instructions.
Before commencing Installation, conrm that the details on the appliance data plate
correspond to the local distribution conditions, gas type and pressure to which the appliance
is to be installed.
Ensure that gas supply and supply pipe is capable of delivering the required volume and
pressure of gas and is in accordance with the rules in force.
3.1 Gas Connection
This appliance has a gas inlet connection of Ø 8mm.
3.2 Ventilation
This appliance is a Balanced Flue room sealed appliance, and as such needs no additional
ventilation. However an adequate supply of fresh air to maintain temperatures and a
comfortable environment is recommended.
This appliance may be installed in a completely sealed or mechanically ventilated house.
3.3 Appliance Fireplace Installation
Determine the position required for the appliance.
Create a gas connection for the appliance in approximately the correct location for the gas
controls.There should be an isolation valve tted in the pipework close to the appliance.
The gas controls are connected to the Burner of the appliance.
For clearance details see section 3.3.1. below.
The clearance distance of the flue from combustibles must not be less than 75mm. This
dimension can be reduced to 25mm as the distance from the underside and the sides of
horizontal ue runs.
The stove must stand on a reproof hearth, which must be of a non-combustible material with
a minimum thickness of 12mm and extend 100mm in front of the stove.
The hearth must not be capable of inadvertent covering by a rug or carpet. This may be
achieved by either the hearth being 50mm above the level of the floor, or a fender or kerb
around the hearth to a height of 50mm.
3.3.1 Clearance requirements
The appliance must not be tted against a rear wall constructed from a combustible material;
a gap of 300mm should be given around the stove before combustible materials may be used
in the wall construction.
If the appliance has to be located in an opening, the minimum clearance from non-combustible
materials is:
To Rear: 50mm
To Right: 50mm
To Left: 50mm
The stove must be located at least 280mm from any combustible materials above the
appliance.
A combustible shelf may be tted over the appliance, if in the case of a 150mm or less deep
shelf, there is at least 280mm clearance above the top of the stove. The shelf depth may
increase at the same rate as the increase in clearance; i.e. a shelf depth of 200mm would
require a clearance of 330mm.

3.4 Flue Connection
3.4.1 General notes
This appliance may be installed with a roof terminal (C31) or a wall terminal (C11).
This appliance may only be used with Balanced Flue (otherwise known as Concentric Flue) parts
as specied by Mendip. The Mendip specied ue parts have been approved with the appliance.
If the appliance is installed on non-Mendip approved parts, Mendip cannot guarantee or accept
any responsibility for the proper and safe working of the appliance.
Approved Flue Systems are listed on Page 5.
The flue system must be constructed from the appliance upwards, with all joints being fully
locked and sealed using the Mendip specied parts.
3.4.2 Timber Frame Construction
Whilst it is possible to install room-sealed appliances in timber frame properties, great care
needs to be taken to ensure that the ue assembly does not interfere with the weather proong
qualities of any outer wall which it may penetrate. Before attempting this work, further details
need to be referenced, (e.g. “Gas Installations in Timber Frame Buildings” from the GAS SAFE
installer series in the UK).
3.4.3 Carport or Building Extension
Where a ue terminal is sited within a carport or building extension, it should have at least two
completely open and unobstructed sides. The distance between the lowest part of the roof and
the top of the terminal should be at least 600mm.
Note: A covered passageway should not be treated as a carport. Flues should not be sited in a
covered passageway between properties.
3.4.4 Basements, Lightwells and Retaining walls
Flue terminals should not be sited within the connes of a basement area, light well or external
space formed by a retaining wall, unless steps are taken to ensure the products of combustion
can disperse safely at all times.
It may be possible to install this Balanced Flue system in such a location provided that it is not
sited lower than 1m from the top level of that area to allow combustion products to disperse
safely.
Flue terminals should be sited to ensure total clearance of the combustion products in
accordance with the included information.
When the products of combustion are discharged, they should not cause a nuisance to adjoining
or adjacent properties and they should be positioned so that damage cannot occur to other
parts of the building. If the outer wall surface is constructed of combustible material, a
non-combustible plate should be fitted behind the terminal projecting 25mm beyond the
external edges of the terminal.
