2.4 The appliance is suitable for the following flue duct arrangements:-
i. A straight horizontal run up to a maximumof 4.5m. For normal timber
frame buildings astraight run will not be possible. See section 2.5.
ii. A horizontal run up to a maximumof 3m including oneor two bends.
Minimum wall thickness 90mm.
iii. A vertical run up to a maximum of 3m (two bends are required for a
vertical installation). Minimum wall thickness 90mm.
The above run lengths are the total measurements from the rear of the fan box to the duct
connection at the side ofthe appliance
The flue duct can be fitted to either side of the appliance.
Figure 1 shows the critical installation dimensions
2.4.1 The standard appliance is supplied with a total of 3m of straight ducting.
The following optional extra kits are available:
Kit No. 517IBK - Internal elbow bend kit
Kit No. 517EBK - External elbow bend kit.
Kit No.517 FDK - 1.5m extra flue duct length with covers.
Kit No.517DK - 1.5m extra flue duct length without covers.
2.5 This appliance is suitable for installation in conventional buildings
constructed of brick, stone etc. and in timber framed buildings.
2.5.1 Installation in timber framed buildings should be in accordance with the
relevant sections of The Institute of Gas Engineers publication IGE/UP/7 “Gas
installations in timber frame buildings”. Please note that advice should be sought
before installing in a timber frame building since the alterations required may
nullify any NHBC cover relating to the property. If in doubt, guidance should be
requested from your local authority planning or building department.
In timber framed installations an annular non-combustible sleeve should be
fitted around the flue tube where it passes through the combustible inner wall.
There should be a minimum 25mm air gap between the flue tube and the
sleeve. The gap shall be sealed to prevent the passage of air, heat and moisture.
The space between the flue ducts and the wall on which the appliance is
mounted is less than 25mm. Elbow bends will therefore be necessary to allow
the annular sleeve to clear of the wall on which the appliance is mounted.
2.6 This appliance must be mounted with a non-combustible hearth (n.b
conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The fire box
must be mounted on a non-combustible surface. The hearth must project at
least 345mm forward of the convection box front and be at least 620mm wide
(See figure 1). The hearth material must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery
of the hearth (or fender) should be at least 50mm above floor levelto discourage
the placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The surface of the hearth must be sufficiently flat to enable the bottom of the
front surround, the burner bracket and the bottom front cover casting 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.

8
2.7 The appliance must not be fitted directly against a combustible
wall. If the appliance is to be fitted against a wall with combustible cladding,
such materials must be removed from the area covered by the metal outer
surround of the appliance (see figure 1). We suggest that the actual surround is
used as a template to mark the area for combustiblecladding removal.
•The appliance can be fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O” 150°C
surround.
•The cut-out area in the surround should be between the size limits shown in
figure 1.
2.8 The minimum allowable distance from the outside edge of the
metal front surround of the appliance to a corner wall having
combustible materials is 178mm at either side (see figure 2).
2.9 The minimum height from the top surface of the hearth to the
underside of any shelf made from wood or other combustible
materials is as follows:-
•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.
2.10 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.
2.11 The appliance must not be installed in any room which contains a bath or
shower or where steam is regularly present.
2.12 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 extractor fan is likely to affect the
appliance, the appliance must not be installed unless the fan is permanently
disconnected.
2.13 A fan-powered flue system tends to depressurise the room containing the
appliance. In the United Kingdom no additional ventilation should normally be
required. In the Republic of Ireland permanent ventilation must comply with
the rules in force. In exceptional circumstances however, the spillage check (See
further on in this guide) may indicate a need for further ventilation in order to
ensure that there is adequate air replacement. If necessary seek expert advice.
2.14 Make sure that the damp course or any electrical wiring, piping etc in the
wall is not affected when cutting the flue box or spigot installation hole.
2.15 Any gas supply pipe installed in the wall, floor or cavity of a cavity wall
must be continuous and enclosed in a factory fitted gas tight sleeve (Ref: Gas
safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1994 as amended & Certificate of
exemption no.1 1996).

2.16 Propane gas appliances must not be installed in a room which is built
entirely below groundlevel (seeBS 5871 Part 2).
2.17 A concealedgas supply connection can bemadethrough grommet near
the right corner of the rear panel. Visible front connection can be from the left
or right side.
2.18 Electrical connection to the isolating switched fused spur is from the left
side.
2.19 The flue terminal should be located so that the wind can blow freely
across it at all times and where any blockage due to leaves, snow, etc. is unlikely.
The minimum allowable distances from the terminal are shown in the
following table and figure 3. Note:The distances are fromthe edge of the vertical exit
slots in the terminal not from the edges of the rectangular box (See figure 3a).

2.20 This appliance is supplied with a terminal guard. In England and Wales,
the Building Regulations require that the terminal guard is fitted if the flue
terminal can come in contact with people near the building or be subject to
damage. Even if the regulations do not demand it, we recommend that the
guard is fitted to prevent damage or blockage of the flue system by leaves etc.

4.1 Cut the fan cable
The appliance is supplied with the fan supply cable linking the fan box to the
convection box unit. To enable the fan unit to be installed to the wall, the cable
will have to be cut. A junction box is supplied for reconnecting the cable after
installation of the fan unit and ducting. The junction box is intended to be fixed
to the wall at the side of the appliance. It should be positioned so that it will be
behind the fireplace surround.
Cut the cable at the point suitable for reconnecting to the junction box. This
will usually be just past the end of the grey abrasion resistant insulation sleeve.
!Always cut the cable before the mains cable is connected to the
electricity supply system
4.2 Check ignition spark
Before attempting to install, it is worth checking that the piezo electric
spark ignition system operates satisfactorily.
To initiate the spark, depress the control knob and while keeping it
depressed, turn anticlockwise through approximately 60° to the
“PILOT/IGN” position. A spark should track from the electrode pin to
the thermocouple tip. If there is no spark 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.
4.3 Remove the two screws securing the bottom of the front surround
to the sides of the convection box. Raise the front surround to allow the
retaining lugs at the top to clear the slots in the convection box hood and
then lift clear (see figure 6).
4.4 Detach the terminal guard and other fittings from the back of the
convection box by removing two screws and washers. The two screws are
for transit purposes only but the washers will be required to fit the guard to
the fan box outlet - Do not discard them.
4.5 For transit purposes the wall fixing brackets are fittedto the
convection box facing inwards. Remove the brackets and refit them with
the long legs facing outwards (see figure 7).
4.6 In the majority of cases temporary removal of mains cable will make
connection to the isolating switch easier. To allow this, the burner unit will
need to be detached. Detach the burner unit from the convection box by
removing two screws (see figure 8).

5.1 Install a power supply at a switched fuse having a minimum separation of
3mm at all poles. The spur should be readily accessible to the user, easily
identifiable and preferably sited adjacent to the appliance. It should only connect
this appliance.
5.2 To simplify installation of the cable supplied, it may be most convenient
to disconnect it from the appliance as described below, install it to the wall and
then reconnect to the appliance:
To disconnect the cable:
1) Detach the burner (See section 4.5).
2) Detach the control unit from the convection box left side flange by
removing two screws (see figure 9). Carefully pull the unit slightly
forward.
3) Detach the control unit cover by removing one screw (See figure 10).
4) Remove the cable by releasing the cable clamp and detaching the
leads from the terminal block and earth contact tag.
5.3 When installing the cable, leave a minimum of 200mm of the
cable slack at the cable clamp end to allow installation of the appliance
after reconnection to the control box and to allow future removal of the
control box for servicing.
5.4 If the spur is at the right side of the appliance, run the cable
under the hearth. The cable must not run directly under or behind the
appliance.
!WARNING: Do not switch on the power supply until after the
fan cable has been correctly connected to the junction box - See
part 8.

6.1 If the gas supply pipe is to enter through the concealed rear opening,
pierce the grommet. If the supply pipe is sleeved, trim the sleeve back where it
enters the appliance and seal the sleeve to the pipe.
If the supply pipe is to run from the side of the appliance and enter through the
concealed rear opening, the wall will usually have to be chased to accommodate
the pipe at the back of the heater.
6.2 An installation template is supplied which includes a diagram for forming
the pipe so that it avoids various components below the burner.
6.3 This appliance is designedfor installation with a 114mm. (4.5in.) deep
fire surround or false chimney breast. For horizontalduct installations
the skirting board will have to be removed from behind the hearth and
along the total length of the flue duct run. If the skirting is not removed
the depth of the fire surround will need to be increased accordingly.
6.4 Place the hearth in its proper location. Place the appliance on the
hearth in its proper location. Mark the position of the wall fixing
brackets. Note: If a surround deeper than 114mm is to be installed, spacers will
be needed behind the wall mountingbrackets.
6.5 Remove the appliance. Drill holes at the marked positions using a
no.10 drill and plug.
6.6 For duct connection from the right side:
6.6.1 Remove the flue aperture cover and gasket and fit them to the left side
(see figure 11). Be careful not to damage the gasket.
6.6.2 Remove the fan cable clamp from the rear left of the convection box.
Replace the screw thus removed into the convection box. Clamp the cable
at one of the screws at the right side of the box (see figure 12).
6.7 Fit the flue duct connector to the open side of the convection box
with four tapping screws. The narrow edge of the connecting plate must be
at the back (see figure 13).
6.8 Place the appliance back in position. Secure it to the wall through the
two side brackets using two woodscrews provided.
6.9 For horizontal duct installations: Fit the “Z” shaped duct coupling to
the duct connector pushing firmly to ensure a good seal. Rotate the
coupling so that its open end is as low as possible (see figure 14).
6.10 For vertical duct installations: Fit an elbow bend duct to the duct
connector pushing firmly to ensure a good seal. (see figure 15).
6.11 Mark the wall at the centre line of the flue duct (54mm above the hearth
for horizontal installations, 200mm from the side of the convection box for
vertical installations). Draw a line at this position along the wall from the heater
to where the fan box hole will be drilled.

6.12 Drill the flue hole through the wall. The hole centre should be
on the flue duct centre line. For buildings constructed of brick, stone
etc use a 3½in. (89mm) core drill.
For timber framed buildings a sleeved 25mm gap is required between
the flue duct and the combustible leaf. For horizontal installations,
elbow ducts will be required to keep the gap clear of the wall on
which the appliance is mounted (see section 2.5.1). Drill a 5in
(127mm) dia. hole. The interior surface of the wall where the hole is
exposed must be finished with non-combustible materials.
6.13 If it is intended to recess the fan box into the outer wall, makea
rectangular opening as shown in figure 16. The depth of the recess is
145mm leaving the 50mm minimum projection required outside the
wall.
Note that the fan box is not designed to be recessed into a timber framed
building.
Figure 16

7.1 For transit purposes the fan mounting brackets are suppliedfitted to
the fan box facing inwards. Remove them and refit as described below.
7.2 If the fan box is to be sited totally outside the wall fit the brackets with
the short flanges flush with the air intake end of the fan box (see figure 17).
7.3 If the fan box is to be recessed into the wall fit the brackets with the
short legs 50mm from the air outlet face of the fan box (see figure 18).
7.4 Place the fan box in position with the duct connection spigot in the
hole in the wall and, if applicable, the fan box in the recess. Push the box
in so that the fixing brackets are against the wall and mark the screw
fixing positions on the wall.
7.5 Remove the fan box. Drill the marked positions using a no.10 drill
and plug the holes.
7.6 Push the fan cable through the hole in the wall into the room.
7.7 Replace the fan box in position on the wall. Make sure when
inserting the duct connection spigot that its end does not cut into the
cable.
7.8 Secure the fan box to the wall with the wood screws supplied.
7.9 Make good around the flue box ensuring that there are no gaps between
the fan box and wall.

8.1 The fireplace surround will have to be cut away at the side where the duct
connects to the appliance. A template is supplied to aid accurate cutting. It will
be simpler if the side is cut before assembling the top to the sides. Place the
template against the surround side as shown in figure 19. Mark the shape of the
opening on the surround. Cut the opening .
8.2 Cut the backing plates to length. Note that the appliance end of the backing
plate should abut againstthe outside face of the fireplace surround side. It does not go inside
the surround.
For corner installations the ends of the plates must be mitred and butted
together even when covered by the elbow front covers. Small children
could touch the hot ducting if there are any gaps between the top horizontal
flanges or bottom angledflanges of the backing plates.
8.3 Measure the length of the duct run between the intersection of the
horizontal and sloping sections of the “Z” coupling (“A” in fig. 20), fan box
spigot and, if applicable, elbows. The ducts must run from within 10mm of
the intersection”A” and enter the fan box spigot or elbow by a minimum of
40mm and a maximum of 70mm.
A bridging tube is supplied to aid manipulation of the ducts while installing.
The swaged end of one duct (the end with the seal) can be cut to allow a
gap of up to 125mm to be bridged (see figure 21).
Cut the ducts to suit the installation.

8.4 Align the backing plates so that the centres of the fixing holes are at the
height of the duct centre line drawn on the wall (see section 6.11). Mark the
wall through two of the slotted holes in each backing plate. Usually the best
fixing positions will be those which are closest to the ends of the backing
plates.,
8.5 Remove the backing plates. Drill the wall at the marked positions using
a no. 10 drill. Fit the wall plugs supplied.
8.6 Fit two plastic duct support brackets to each backing plate through
the round holes with the machine screws and nuts supplied. The screw
heads must be on the outside (back) face of the backing plates (see figure
22).
The brackets should be fitted so that they will support the ducts as near as
practical to the ends of the ducts. Note, however
•The brackets will not go over the swaged ends of the ducts.
•The brackets will not go over the bridging tube.
•The bottom anglededges of the backing plates should not catch in the
cable clip slots in the brackets.
8.7 Fix the backing plates to the wall. The plastic spacing washers must be
fitted between the backing plates and the wall. Fit using the wood screws
provided (see figure.23).
8.8 Place the flue ducts in position. Fit the bridging tube over one of
the ducts. Locate the ducts to the “Z” coupling, flue box and, if
applicable, elbows. The flue ducts snap into the plastic support brackets
(see figure 24).
If the alignment of the backing plates and ducts is not quite right, remove
the ducts, slacken the screws holding the backing plates to the wall and
realign them. Refit the ducts.
8.9 Slide the bridging tube so that it overlaps each duct by a minimum
of 50mm. Seal each end of the bridging tube to the ducts with the tape
supplied (see figure 21) .
8.10 Fit the fan cable into the “C” sections at the bottom of the support
brackets (see figure 25).
8.11 Further support for the fan cable (especially at corners) can be
provided using the spring cable clips supplied in the pack. Fit the clips to
the bottom edge of the backing plates and attach the cable (see figure 26). Figure 26

8.12 Select a suitable location for the fan cable junction
box. Fit the box and connect the cables as follows (see
figure 27):
8.12.1Remove the screw from the centre of the junction
box. Remove the cover.
8.12.2Place the junction box in position. Mark the wall
through the two holes in the box.
8.12.3Drill the wall and fit the wall plugs supplied.
8.12.4Fix the junction box to the wall with the two
screws provided.
8.12.5If necessary shorten the cable attached to the fan
box to a suitable length so that it does not need to be coiled up.
8.12.6Strip the ends of the wires. Cut the earth lead sleeve (yellow &
green) into two pieces so that they will cover the exposed ends of the
earth wires. Slide a length over the bare earth wire in each cable.
8.12.7Connect the leads to the junction box as shown in figure 27.
Ensure that the colours of the leads in the fan cable connect with the
matching colours in the appliance cable.
8.12.8Fit the cable clip over both cables as shown in figure 27. Place the
clip in position against the wall. Mark the wall through the fixing hole.
Move the cables and clip out of the way. Drill and plug the wall. Replace the
clip. Screw the clip to the wall making sure that the two cables are firmly
clamped. Refit the junction box cover.
8.13 When installed in a fire surround made of wood or other “combustible”
material, the ducting must be insulated from the surround where it passes
through the aperture in surround side. Wrap the insulating gasket round the
duct and secure with the sealing tape supplied as shown in figure 28.
8.14 For horizontal duct installations:
8.14.1Size and cut the duct front covers and, if applicable, the elbow front
covers. Note that the appliance end of the duct front cover should abut against the outside
face ofthe fireplace surround side.It does not go inside the surround.
8.14.2Secure the covers in front of the ducts by springing them over the
location channels in the support brackets (see figure 29).
8.14.3Where applicable,snap fit the joint covers over the joints between the
duct covers and snap fit elbow covers at the corners.
8.15 For vertical duct installations:
Normally a false chimney breast will be constructed to hide the ducting. The
duct front covers will not, therefore, be required for these installations, but
there must be at least 25mm space between the duct pipes and any combustible
surfaces. If, however, the ducting will be visible, fit the front covers as described
for horizontal installations (section 8.14).
8.16 Install the fireplace surround or complete the false chimney breast.
Important: The appliance must not be left with the customer in a condition where
it can be turned on unless the hearth and surround (or false chimney breast) are
completely installed.
8.17 The backing plates, front covers and joint covers can all be painted to suit
the room decor with any of the widely available primer and finishing paints
suitable for coating metal surfaces.

9.5 The fan has a “boost” speed intended
to clear any minor exhaust obstructions. To
check its operation:
i. Switch the fan on (9.1 to 9.3 above).
ii. Go outside the building and place a hand
over the rectangular exhaust outlet of the
terminal. The fan should be heard to increase to “boost”
speed within approximately two seconds.
iii. Remove the hand. The fan should revert to normal speed
after approximately three seconds.
9.6 The unit includes a blocked flue sensor system. To
check its operation:
i. Switch the fan on (9.1 to 9.3 above).
ii. Block off the rectangular exhaust outlet of the terminal.
The system should shut down and the indicator should
light within ten seconds.
iii. After checking remove the flue blockage.
If the above tests are not satisfactory, refer to the servicing section of this
manual.
Note:At times of very windy weatherorlow voltage conditions the fan may switch between
boost and normal speeds. A click from the atmospheric pressure sensor may be heard as the
fan switches speeds.
