1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY
The fire must must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible
floor materials.
f a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall combustible material must be
removed from behind it. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc.
could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may
result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or decorating.
1.4 SHELF POSITION
The fire must not be fitted below a combustible shelf. Any surround design not
supplied by BFM Europe must still conform to the required surround dimensions as
issued by the manufacturer. Please contact BFM Europe Ltd for further details.
1.5 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION
Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.
1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any
obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in
the open position.
2. Brick/stone built chimneys or 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.
3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.
4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s
length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure
of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test.
5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught 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
brickwork or masonry. f the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if
there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. f there is a
history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and
certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should
be considered.
6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of
the appliance.

1.6 FIRE PLACE OPENING
1.6.1 Fireplace Opening for Engine Only Applications
The front opening of the fire place must be between 580mm and 600mm wide,
between 700mm and 720mm high and 300mm deep. f the opening exceeds
these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from suitable non-
combustible material to produce a correct size opening. Any surround must be
suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage. See below in figure 2.
NOTE :- f installing with a retailer designed surround package please consult
the retailer to determine installation height required for the fire.
When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient
depth to accomodate any debris which may fall from the chimney. This depth
must be sufficient to accomodate 12 litres of volumetric space in a conventional
brick built chimney.

2.2.12 Store the removed burner components in a safe position.
2.2.13 The gas connection to the appliance should be made to the isolating /
inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing. There must be no soldered joints
within the firebox. Use the grommet supplied in the loose items pack to
seal the knock-out removed from the firebox where the gas pipe enters
the firebox.
2.2.14 Ensure that the hearth (if fitted) is protected from damage and carefully
lift the fire box into the fire opening, then slide it back into position.
Check that the fire box flange fits flush to the sealing face of the fire
surround or wall with no gaps present.
Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a pressure drop test should be
carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.
2.2.15 Carefully withdraw the fire box from the opening to enable the gas
supply and fire fixing to be completed.
There is a choice of methods of fixing the firebox which are provided to enable the
installer to deal with any type of installation.
The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is
the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.
The fire may be secured using the cable method as described below, or
alternatively, in installations where the cable method is not suitable (eg. loose
masonary in rear of fire opening) the fire box can be directly secured to the fire
surround using screw fixings (not provided).
To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows-
2.2.16 Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (7mm) holes in the back face of the fire
opening in the positions shown below in figure 13.
Fig. 13

2.2.17 Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the
cables through one of the two cable holes on each side of the rear
brackets on the firebox (see figure 14 on page 18 for details of these
holes)
2.2.18 Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and
reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically
downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire.
Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular
hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire
box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.
2.2.19 Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the
tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the
tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut).
2.2.20 Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up
against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a
screwdriver.
2.2.21 Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the
fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to
pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to
be compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.
2.2.22 Refit the burner in reverse order to which it was removed.
NOTE : ENSURE THAT THE ON/OFF SWITCH ON THE CONTROL
VALVE IS IN THE “ON” POSITION BEFORE RE-FITTING THE
BURNER UNIT
2.2.23 Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas
supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious
damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.
17

The other firebox fixing method is as follows :-
2.2.24 n installations where the cable method is not suitable (e.g. loose
masonary in rear of fire opening) the firebox can be secured to the
opening using four screws and wall plugs (not provided). Below (figure
14) is a diagram to indicate the hole centre positions available on the
firebox to facilitate the screw fixing to the fireplace / surround.
