4.2 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that was previously
used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should
be inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
4.3 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not
possible they must be fixed in the open position.
4.4 Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.

In addition the fire has been tested for use with a ‘Rite Vent’ or ‘Selkirk’ Flue Gas
Collector Box. The opening dimensions may differ from those shown above. It is
IMPORTANT that each installation passes a properly conducted Spillage test as in
section 9.
4.12 The following flues are suitable:
 225mm x 225mm conventional brick flue.
If a flue liner is used, it must be a minimum of 125mm diameter. The liner must be
sealed to the surrounding area above the fireplace opening and to the top of the
chimney. An approved terminal must be fitted.
 A properly constructed precast flue conforming to BS EN 1858 or BS 1289.
 A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 127mm. See BS 6461 Part 1 for suitable

4.12.4 The flue must serve only one fireplace.
4.12.5 Proprietary terminals must comply with BS EN 1858, BS EN 1806 or
BS 1289. Any terminal or termination must be positioned in accordance with BS 5440
Part 1 to ensure that the products of combustion can be safely dispersed into the
outside atmosphere. Where the appliance is connected to an unlined brick chimney it
is generally unnecessary for the chimney pot to be replaced or for a terminal to be
fitted unless the flue has a diameter smaller than 170mm.
4.13 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to
stop any draughts.
4.14 The flue spigot and any spigot extension must be capable of passing through
the closure plate by at least 15mm with a minimum clearance of 50mm between its
open end and the nearest obstruction.

INSTALLER GUIDE

Observe, where possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke
indicating a defective flue. If there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few
minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. If there is still no definite flow the flue may
need remedial work – Do not fit the appliance until there is a definite flow
through the flue.
5.3 Appliance preparation.
5.3.1. Stand the fire upright.
5.3.2. Remove the two transit screws from near
the top of the back panel wings (See figure 4).
5.3.3. Remove the two fascia retaining screws
located at the rear of the fascia near the bottom
corners.
5.3.4. Lift the fascia up and forward to clear the
rear top location. Store in a safe place.
5.3.5. Remove the radiant pack.
5.3.6. Remove any protective film from all the
bright trims.
5.3.7. If the fire is fitted to a recessed fireplace,
an extension flue spigot up to a maximum total
length of 125mm may be used. The extension
must be a tight fit over the flue spigot and be
secured by two self tapping screws. Note the
minimum clearance required as shown in figure
2.
5.4 Fitting the battery to electronic ignition models.
1. At the front of the electronic spark generator there is a removable circular battery
cover. Unscrew the cover in an anticlockwise direction.
2. Remove any protective film from the battery and place into the generator. The
negative ( - ) terminal should go in first. The battery cover is marked with ( + ).
3. Screw on the cap.
5.5 Checking the ignition.
5.5.1 Manual ignition.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the piezo electric spark ignition
system operates satisfactorily.
To initiate the spark, temporarily fit the control knob to the spindle. Depress the knob
and while keeping it depressed, slowly turn to the 1/IGN position. Two separate
sparks should track from the electrode pin to the thermocouple tip. If there are no
sparks or incorrect tracking, check the spark gap between the electrode wire and
thermocouple tip (See figure 5).
If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.

5.5.2 Electronic ignition.
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that
the electronic spark ignition system operates
satisfactorily. To initiate the spark, temporarily fit the
control knob to the spindle. Apply pressure to the top of
the control knob spindle. Sparks should be generated
between the electrode and thermocouple tip on the
pilot unit. If there are no sparks or incorrect tracking,
check the spark gap between the electrode wire and
thermocouple tip (See figure 5).
If the spark gap is correct, check the ignition wiring.
5.6 Fitting the closure plate.
The spigot opening in the closure plate has two ‘flange’
sections. Fold along the
perforated line of
Flange 1. The dimensions of the
closure plate will be as in figure
6.
The closure plate has an
opening at the bottom for a
central gas feed pipe. The gap
between the pipe and this
opening should be sealed with
tape after connection. If a
central feed pipe is not
required the opening should be
completely sealed with tape.

INSTALLER GUIDE

5.6.1 Hearth mounting
(See figure 7).
The closure plate must be fitted and
sealed to the hearth and fireplace
opening using a suitable heat resistant
material. If necessary cut the closure
plate but make sure that it overlaps the
fireplace opening sufficiently to allow
satisfactory sealing. Make sure that the
square air relief opening is fully within
the fireplace opening.
5.6.2 Wall mounting
(See figure 8).
The closure plate must be fitted and
sealed to the hearth and fireplace
opening using a suitable heat resistant
material. If necessary cut the closure
plate but make sure that it overlaps the
fireplace opening sufficiently to allow
satisfactory sealing.
Make sure that the
square air relief opening
is fully within the
fireplace opening.
The bottom of the
appliance must be at
least 50mm above any
carpet or other floor
covering. To achieve
this, the bottom of the
flue spigot opening
must be at least the
minimum dimension
shown in figure 8.
5.6.3 Check the flue pull
with closure plate fitted
by applying a lighted
match or smoke match
to the flue spigot
opening in the closure
plate and observe the smoke. If there is a definite flow continue with the installation. If
not check the fitting of the closure plate. The fireplace flue pull check described in

6.1 Using the extension brackets.
Supplied with the fire are four extension brackets and four fixing screws. The
extension brackets are for use where the wall fixing holes in the gas fire are located
adjacent to areas that are not substantial enough to enable an adequate fixing point
(i.e. where the fixing holes in the gas fire are located adjacent to areas that are made
of plaster that has no brick underneath or where the fixing holes fall adjacent to the
side of a metal flue).
6.1.1 Fitting the lower extension brackets.
(See figure 9).
1. Remove the two securing screws from the rear of
the brace brackets, locate the extension bracket as in
figure 1 and refit the screws removed previously.
6.1.2 Fitting the upper extension brackets.
(See figure 10).
1. Fit the upper extension brackets to the left and right
hand sides of the flanges at the rear of the gas fire as
in figure 10.
6.2 Installing to a hearth.
6.2.1 Place the fire centrally on the hearth making
sure that the spigot lines up with the spigot hole in the
closure plate. Gently slide the appliance into place
being careful not to scratch the hearth. The spigot
must enter the closure plate to a depth of at
least 15mm.
6.2.2 Level the fire by loosening the lock nuts
and turning the levelling screws in the feet up or
down as required while they bear on the hearth.
