INSTALLER GUIDE

1. SAFETY AND UNPACKING
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling:
 The lifting weight (kg) of this appliance is as below:
Heat engine Casting Fascia Total
6.80 3.84 3.00 13.64
 One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
 When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
 Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
 Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.
 Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
 Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
 Use gloves to provide additional grip.
 Always use assistance if required.
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

3.2 Ventilation requirements.
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.
3.3 The Atmosphere sensing device (ASD).
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.
3.4 Fireguard requirements.
A fireguard complying with BS 8423 should be fitted for the protection of young
children, the elderly, the infirm and pet animals.
3.5 Room considerations.
3.5.1 This appliance must not be installed in any room that contains a bath or shower
or where steam is regularly present.
3.5.2 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.
3.5.3 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.
3.6 Chimney preparation.
3.6.1 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.
3.6.2 Any chimney damper or restrictor should be removed. If removal is not possible,
they must be secured in the open position.

INSTALLER GUIDE

3.7 Fireplace preparation.
3.7.1 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop
any draughts.
3.7.2 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.
3.7.3 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.
3.7.4 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 1). 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. 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.
3.7.5 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.
3.8 The hearth.
The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth (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.

3.9 Fireplace clearances.
3.9.1 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 = 750mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm
Minimum height = 750mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
(See Figure 2).
3.9.2 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 3.

3.10 Installation options.
In the United Kingdom, as supplied, the appliance can be installed in the
following situations: -
3.10.1 Conventional fireplace and hearth.
To a fireplace complete with surround and hearth as shown in figure 4 and complying
with BS1251 after removal of the fireback and sufficient material behind the fireback
for a debris catchment space. The required fireplace, hearth, debris catchment area
and clearance dimensions
are shown in figure 5.

INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 4. Hearth and fireplace opening dimensions
Figure 5. Fireplace area

3.10.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations.
 It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 4. 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
then the distance from the base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished
floor level should be increased to at least 160mm.
 To protect from the risk of burns and ignition of clothing a tactile separator shall be
used. The hearth detailed in section 3.8 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.
3.10.2 Metal flue box and hearth.
To a fireplace incorporating a metal flue box complying with the constructional
requirements of the current edition of BS715. The dimensions of the flue box must
conform to those shown in figure 6.
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 6).
Important Note: Where the flue box
has a base sheet that is single wall
(i.e. a single metal sheet) the flue
box must be mounted on a non-
combustible hearth. The hearth
material must be at least 12mm
thick.

INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 6. Metal flue box

3.10.3 Precast concrete or clay flue block system and hearth.
A precast concrete or clay flue block system conforming to BS1289 or BS EN 1806
with dimensions as in figure 7. The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1806
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.
3.11 Flues.
1. 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 BS4543 Part 2.
 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. 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 1858. This system is only suitable if the conditions stated in section 3.10.3
are met.

INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 7. Precast or clay flue block system
dimensions

2. 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.
3. The flue must not be used for any other appliance or application.
4.Proprietary terminals must comply with BS 715 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.

5. FIREPLACE CHECK
5.1 Soundness for appliance attachment.
A primary method of retaining the appliance is provided. This involves using
concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together with
secondary fixing to the fireplace floor. This method is detailed in section 9 of this
manual. This method is particularly useful 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.
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.
5.2 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.
6. 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 slowly 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 (See figure 9). 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.

INSTALLER GUIDE
Figure 9.

7. 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 direction. 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.
8. PREPARING APPLIANCE FOR INSTALLATION
1. Remove the two screws to the side of the burner unit.
2. Detach the burner unit from the hotbox by lifting clear.
3. It is important that the grommet supplied in the loose parts pack is fitted to
the hole in the rear of the hotbox.
4. For concealed connection only: Pierce the grommet to allow the pipe to pass
through it. The grommet should envelop the pipe. If the hole is larger than the pipe,
seal it with tape. Do not pierce the grommet unless
the supply pipe is to pass through it.
5. The appliance is supplied with two fireback spacers.
Do not fit the fireback spacers if the fire is to be
installed into a precast or clay flue block system as
in section 3.10.3. These should extend backwards to
ensure sufficient clearance from the back of the fireplace.
Remove the label and retaining screws from the rear
sides of the hotbox. Position the fireback spacers as
shown in figure 10. Secure the fireback spacers using
the screws removed previously, and the two supplied
with the fire.
6. This appliance is supplied with a flue restrictor for use
where the flue draught is excessive. Generally we
recommend the restrictor is NOT fitted where a precast
flue, metal flue box or a flue liner is used, however,
certain flues may work sufficiently to warrant its use. There may however, be
circumstances where fitting the restrictor causes the fire to fail the spillage test. In
such cases the restrictor will have to be removed. After removal conduct the spillage
