Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the
following guide to manual handling.
-The lifting weight of this appliance (kg) is approx as below:
Model Weight
600RC nspire engine only* 18.0 Kg
600FS nspire engine only* 17.5 Kg
800RC nspire engine only* 26.0 Kg
800RC nspire engine only* 26.5 Kg
*e cludes all trims options & ceramic log sets.
These appliances are heavy.We therefore recommend that two person’s should be
sufficient to lift the fire. f fitting or moving the fire alone we recommend the use of
suitable lifting apparatus.
-When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
-Avoid twisting at the waist. t 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 log fuel effect pieces, burner compartment walls and
ceramic pebbles 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.

5.11 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.
- 125mm and 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.
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.

INSTALLER GUIDE

7. FIREPLACE CHECK
8.1 Soundness for appliance attachment
Primary method of retaining the appliance is by fixing to the fireplace front.
2) Using concealed
The methods are detailed in section 11 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.
f method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to
take the wall plugs and wood screws. f necessary, make sound with suitable cement.
f 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. f these areas
have deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with suitable
cement.
8.2 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. f there is not a definite flow warm the flue for a few
minutes and repeat the smoke pellet test. f 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.
8.GAS SUPPLY CONNECTION
The fire is designed for a rear concealed connection only.
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
connection and 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.
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 convection box
and run to the ‘T’ connector at the front. The pipe run from the supply line up to the
rear opening in the convection box must be kept away from the area which will be
taken by the convection box when it is installed.
