The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below :
Model Efficiency % (Gross)
Landscape, Serenity and Visia. 51
Aspect Glass, Tranquility and Fascination. 45
Fascination when converted to LPG. 46
The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The
test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by Advantica
Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK
Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.
The convertion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net
efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding
down to the nearest whole number.
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 fire before and after working on
the fire. 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 GUIDE

4.2.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ installations.
It is recommended that
a hearth should be
installed as in figure 1.
If a hearth is not fitted,
the fire must be
installed so that the
distance from the base
of the fireplace opening
in the wall to the
finished floor level is at
least 85mm. Where
there is no floor
covering or carpet and
the floor is of a type
that is likely to be
covered in such a way
in the future then the
distance from the base
of the fireplace opening
in the wall to the floor
level should be increased to at
least 160mm. The minimum
shelf height will have to be
taken from the base of the
fireplace opening.
(All models except Fascination,
Tranquility and Aspect Glass
that are glass fronted
appliances).
To protect from the risk of
burns and ignition of clothing a
tactile separator shall be used.
The hearth detailed in section
4.9 meets the requirements for
a tactile separator. If this is not
used then a 672mm long
fender, kerb, horizontal bar, or
other barrier, being fixed not
less than 50mm above floor
level and positioned 300mm in front of the fixing plane of the fire will meet the
requirement.

INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 2. Metal flue box
Figure 1. Hearth and fireplace opening dimensions

4.2.2 To a fireplace incorporating a
metal flue box complying with the
constructional requirements of the
current edition of BS EN 1856 Part 1
or BS715. The dimensions of the flue
box must conform to those shown in
figure 2.
4.2.3 A precast concrete or clay flue
block system conforming to BS1289
or BS EN 1806 with dimensions as in
figure 3 or using a 05654K1 spacer
kit (Installation Instructions part
number 3003095). BS EN 1806 and
BS1289 recommend that there
should be an air space or insulation
between the flue blocks and the
plaster because heat transfer may
cause cracking on directly plastered
flues. However, generally this
appliance is suitable for installations
under all circumstances unless there
is a history of cracking problems.
Remember that faults such as
cracking may be caused by poorly
built and restrictive flues, e.g. mortar
extrusions, too many bends, flue
heights below three metres,
restrictive terminations etc (See
figure3).
4.2.4 If the fireplace opening is
greater than the acceptable
dimensions given in this guide, do not use the back of a fire surround or marble to
reduce the opening. This may cause cracking of the surround back or marble.
4.3 Suitable flues and minimum flue sizes are as follows: -
It should be noted that, as with many appliances, sharp bends or horizontal runs in
metal flues at the top of the system can be a cause of problems in these types of
installation.
225mm x 225mm conventional brick flue.
175mm diameter lined brick or stone flue.
200mm diameter factory made insulated flue manufactured to BS EN 1856 Part 1
or BS4543.
175mm diameter flue pipe. See BS6461 Part 1 for suitable materials.
Single wall, twin wall or flexible flue liner with a minimum diameter of 125mm. The

materials to be used are stainless steel or aluminium as specified in BS EN 1856
Part 1 or BS715. 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 concrete or clay flue system conforming to BS1289
or BS EN 1806. This system is only suitable if the conditions stated in section 4.2.3
are met.
4.4 The flue must conform to BS 5440: Part 1 in design and installation.
The flue, measured from the bottom of the fireplace opening to the bottom of the
terminal, shall be not less than 3m in actual vertical height. When calculated in
accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex A, the minimum equivalent height of the flue
shall be 2.0m of 125mm-dia. flue pipe.
4.5 The flue must not be used for any other appliance or application.
4.6 Any chimney damper or restrictor should be removed. If removal is not possible,
they must be secured in the open position.
4.7 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.
4.8 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
4.9 The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth unless the
conditions of section 4.2.1.1 are met (N.B. conglomerate marble hearths are
considered as non-combustible). The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made
proprietary class “O”-150°C surround. The hearth material must be at least 12mm
thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor
level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The surface of the hearth must be sufficiently flat to enable the bottom of the fascia
and the bottom front cover to be aligned horizontally. Any excessive unevenness
(uneven tiles, Cotswold stone, etc.) should be rectified.
The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets.
4.10 The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered
by the hotbox top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should
be made good if necessary.
The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a good seal with the
hotbox can be made.
4.11 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when installing.

INSTALLER GUIDE

4.12 This appliance must not be installed in any room that contains a bath or shower
or where steam is regularly present.
4.13 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. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
4.14 The minimum height from the base of the fireplace opening to the underside of
any shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is shown below: -
•For a shelf up to 150mm deep
Minimum height = 700mm.
•For a shelf deeper than 150mm
Minimum height = 700mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
(See graph 1).
4.15 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.
4.16 If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from the area covered by the fascia. The cladding must
also not touch the fascia (See figure 4). We suggest that the actual fascia is used as
a template to mark the area for combustible cladding removal and that this area is
Page 13

Graph 1. Combustible shelf clearances
INSTALLER GUIDE

increased by at least 2mm all round.
If the cladding projects forward from
the fixing plane of the fire the
clearance at the top of the
appliance must be increased to a
minimum 15mm.This will allow for
fascia removal.
4.17 Proprietary terminals must
comply with BS EN 1856 Part 1 /
BS 715 or BS EN 1858 / 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.
4.18 The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If 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. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if
an unacceptable amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no
circumstances should the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only a genuine
manufacturers replacement part should be fitted. The individual A.S.D components
are not replaceable.
4.19 A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, or the infirm.
‘Fascination’, ‘Tranquility’ and ‘Aspect Glass’ fascia: The glass panel is a working
surface and is hot during normal operation of the fire and whilst cooling. A fireguard
complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young children, the
elderly, or the infirm.
4.20 The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is shown in figure 5.

Figure 6. Pack contents continued

Carefully remove all the contents. Take special care in handling the ceramic fuel
effects. Check that all the listed parts are present and in good condition. The pack
may contain additional components to that stated above. These can be discarded.
6. FIREPLACE CHECK
6.1 Fireplace check.
6.1.1 Fireplace size
The fireplace must comply with the requirements described in section 4.2. This will
probably entail removing the fireback and infill material behind the fireback. The
debris catchment area shown in figure 7 must be kept clear of obstructions.
6.1.2 Fireplace general condition
The fireplace floor should be
reasonably flat to ensure that
the hotbox can be installed
without it rocking and so that a
good seal can be made at the
bottom front of the box. The
front face of the fireplace should
be reasonably flat over the area
covered by the hotbox top and
side flange seals to ensure
good sealing. These faces
should be made good if
necessary. If the appliance is to
be fitted against a wall with
combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed from
Page 18

Figure 6. Pack contents continued
Figure 7. Fireplace area
INSTALLER GUIDE

the area covered by the fascia. The cladding must also not touch the fascia (See
figure 4). We suggest that the actual fascia is used as a template to mark the area for
combustible cladding removal and that this area is increased by at least 2mm all
round.
6.1.3 Soundness for appliance attachment
Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1) By fixing to the fireplace front surround.
2) Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening
together with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 10 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the
proper tools and equipment.
If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to
take the fibre / wooden plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with
suitable cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back and towards the centre of
the fireplace floor are sound enough to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas
have deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with suitable
cement.
6.1.4 Installations using a metal flue box
The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a 100mm
layer of mineral wool or equivalent insulation (See figure 2).
6.2 Fireplace flue pull.
Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed.
After confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram
smoke pellet and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside
that the smoke exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable.
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.

INSTALLER GUIDE

7. IGNITION CHECK
Before attempting to install, it is
worth checking that the ignition
system performs satisfactorily.
Set the control knob to the off
position. Depress the control knob
and rotate it anticlockwise to the
pilot ignition position. A 'click' will
be heard as the integral piezo
operates. A spark should be seen
between the electrode and pilot tip.
If there is no spark check the
following: -
 Ensure that the electrode lead
is connected to the terminal at the base of the electrode.
 If the above is correct, check for damage to the electrode lead.
8. GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
A nut and olive are provided for an 8mm pipe inlet connection to the ‘T’ connector at
the bottom front of the appliance. The ‘T’ connector can be rotated to allow a
connection from any rear-concealed connection. The ‘T’ connector includes a valve
for isolating the gas supply and a pressure test point.
The supply pipe must be rigid material. Flexible pipe must not be used.
Concealed supply pipe connection.
If a concealed connection from inside the fireplace is required then, before the
appliance is fitted into the fireplace it will be necessary to extend the supply line so
that it will project through the hole in the back of the hotbox and run to the ‘T’
connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the rear opening in the
hotbox must be kept away from the area which will be taken by the hotbox when it is
installed. Note that the centre of the appliance inlet ‘T’ connector is 25mm above the
fireplace floor. The inlet ‘T’ connector should be fitted to the supply pipe at this stage.
