Section 2: INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

6
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a bathroom or shower room, or where steam may
be present.
An extractor fan must not be fitted in the same room or space as the appliance as this can
affect the safety of the appliance.
The fire has been designed to fit into a fireplace or builders opening conforming to BS 1251
(and meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the
constructional requirements of BS 715.
A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning,
the flue and chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation.
The flue must be checked before installation by using a smoke pellet or similar to ensure
proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and re-test as necessary
before the appliance is installed.
Any flue box used must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at
least 12mm thick, covering the entire base area of the box.
The flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, as measured from the hearth
to the top of the flue.
Any flue damper plates or restrictors must be removed and no other restriction fitted to the
flue. Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.
The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one
appliance.
There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into,
and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as class
GC1, as regulations allow.
Some of our appliances have been tested for use in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS
1289.
In accordance with BS1289 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.
Depending on the flue construction, on occasions the temperature reached can cause
cracking of the surface plaster 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.
This appliance is suitable for use with a surrounding area or back panel of 150C minimum
rating.

SECTION 4: VENTILATION
This Appliance does not normally require purpose provided ventilation.
However, if a second appliance operating within the same room or space must be taken into
consideration when assessing ventilation.
When commissioning the appliance spillage is detected, then amongst other problems there
may be insufficient natural ventilation for correct operation of the flue.
If spillage is detected with windows closed, but the appliance does not spill with the windows
open, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation.
If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault.
Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2.
Air Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the appliance must not be used as
adverse effects to the operation of the Flame Safety Device (FSD) may occur.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance
that cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS
327, and any other rules in force.
Section 5: SITE REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary.
A chair brick or ceramic fireback may be required providing that they conform to BS1251:1987

125mm (5in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.
125mm (5in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS715.
Any existing draught device situated under the fireplace must be sealed off.
The opening area must be non-combustible
.
The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 300mm in depth and
12mm thick.
The top surface must be at least 50mm above the surrounding flooring level, or be
surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm high.

9
To enable the product of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet at the back
of the appliance must have a 50mm minimum clearance between it and the back wall of the
opening or any other obstruction.
The area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and
floor; a combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies
with the dimensions given below.
From Hearth to Underneath of Shelf with a depth of 150mm is 766mm add 12.5mm in height
for every 25mm increase to the projection of the shelf depth.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock,
blown vinyl and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or
scorch.
SECTION 5.1: PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of flue boxes provided that the minimum
dimensions required for the appliance complied with.
The frame of the fire, any back panel or other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed
together so that there is no possibility of leakage between them.
The correct clearances to combustible materials (i.e. false chimney breast etc) must be
adhered to.
The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabricated box must be complied with at all
times.
To fit the fire using the cable fixing kit supplied, some minor adaption may be necessary for
certain flue boxes.
Please ensure the firebox does not obscure the flue box outlet.
The firebox, base of the flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and screws
to secure installation.
It is important that the sealing requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that
the flue box is sealed to any back or infill panel.

You can now decide where to route your gas pipe, route holes are provided in the rear and
side of the base plate for use where concealed pipe work is required.
SECTION 7.2 FITTING THE BURNER TRAY
Temporarily fit the burner tray and ensure a suitable gas route can be achieved.
If the fire is the manual control system, you can now place the burner tray into the base plate
making sure that the side lugs locate properly on to the side of the plate.
Fit the two securing screws through the front plate ensuring that the plate is in front of the
front edge of the base plate.
Connect the gas supply and tighten the gas connections.
Note: Please ensure that the electrode spark igniters’ gap on the manual version
has not been misaligned during the handling of the burner in this installation the
gap should be 5mm from the burner.
Ensure the Rear Bracket is

SECTION 8: FUEL BED LAYOUT
Place the ceramic rear matrix onto the burner ensuring that the rear matrix is sitting behind
the two fixed brackets, the back of the matrix rests against the rear of the base plate.
Place front matrix coal support into brackets fitted
Note: Please ensure that the support
brackets are level and that there is a
minimum 5mm gap between the burner
and the bottom of the rear matrix, this
must not be touching the burner as this
will cause the fire to burn incorrectly and
cause damage to the fire and to
malfunction.

14
Place the front row of 5 coals/pebbles between the front coal support and the rear matrix as
shown.
Now Place the second row as shown below, coals may be rotated slightly within their positions
to give a good visual effect.
