INTRODUCTION

NO COMPONENT OF THIS FIRE IS MANUFACTURED FROM ASBESTOS OR ASBESTOS RELATED PRODUCTS.

The ATHENA L.F. is an open fronted inset live coal effect gas fire specially designed for Pre-Cast Flue application and is also suitable for use with Brick Chimneys, twin walled or insulated Metal/Pre-fabricated Flues of 125mm minimum diameter and Flueboxes conforming to the constructional requirements of BS 715. It is fitted with a combined flame supervision and oxygen depletion monitoring device. The fire is for hearth mounting only on a non-combustible hearth. The fire is for use on Natural Gas only.

GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

In your own interest and that of safety, it is the law that all gas appliances are installed by competent persons in accordance with the current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations. Failure to install appliances correctly could lead to prosecution.

The installation MUST be in accordance with these installation instructions, all the relevant parts of the Local and National Building Regulations or Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations and the relevant recommendations of the current editions of the following British Standards:

B.S. 5871 : Part 2 B.S. 5440 : Parts 1 & 2 B.S. 6891 B.S. 6461 : Parts 1 & 2 B.S. 715 B.S. 1251 B.S. 1289 : 1975 B.S. 1289 : Part 1 : 1986 B.S. 1289 : Part 2 : 1989

2.0 CONDITIONS OF INSTALLATION

2.1 SITING GENERAL

This fire is suitable for hearth mounting only on a non-combustible hearth at least 13mm thick and measuring at least 630mm wide by 330mm deep. Its top surface should preferably be 50mm above the floor level in order to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it. It MUST NOT be fitted directly on a combustible wall. The fire should be installed so that no part of a combustible wall i.e. not part of the fire surround but a full wall at 90 to the fire is less than 500mm from the radiant source. If this is not possible the combustible side wall must be suitably protected.

FIREPLACE OPENING

The front opening of the fireplace must be between 305mm and 457mm wide and between 560mm and 585mm high (see Section

2.2). If the opening is greater it must be bricked up until the opening is a maximum of 585mm high and 457mm wide, alternatively a non-combustible infill panel may be used to achieve the required dimensions.

DO NOT USE THE BACK OF A FIRE SURROUND OR MARBLE TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE DIMENSIONS.

There must be a minimum flat surface area around the fireplace opening shown by the dotted lines in fig. 1 to ensure a good seal between the fireplace and the fire. This area should be sound enough to take the wall plugs and screws supplied for front fixing. Ensure that the base of the fireplace is level with the hearth and reasonably flat to prevent the fire rocking. Purpose built ventilation bricks or additional air vents are not normally required in the room in which the fire is fitted unless specified by the rules in force.

IMPORTANT: When fitting any heating appliance or wallpapering a room in which one is fitted, soft wall coverings such as heat sensitive wallpapers may become heat damaged or discoloured especially in the area above the fire. Please bear this in mind when installing or decorating.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Plaster Applied Directly to Pre-cast Flue Blocks.

Some Pre-cast flues built to B.S. 1289:1975 may have plaster applied directly to the flue blocks. A recommendation was made, in the revision B.S. 1289 part 1:1986, NOT to apply plaster directly to the flue blocks, otherwise cracking of the plaster could occur. It is not recommended to install this fire into such installations, unless remedial action is taken.

2.2 FLUES AND CHIMNEYS

2.2.1 SITE REQUIREMENTS FOR 228mm BY 228mm (9in BY 9in) BRICK CHIMNEY/178mm (7in) STONE OR LINED CHIMNEY AND 125MM (5in) DIAMETER FLUE

The minimum dimensions for the fireplace opening for a brick chimney are as shown in Fig. 1. It will not normally be necessary to remove any chair brick provided the minimum depth is obtained. A chimney previously used to burn solid fuel must be swept prior to installation.

The chimney must be inspected to ensure that:

(a) It serves only one fireplace.

(b) It is properly sealed so that combustion products do not escape from the flue into the room.

(d) Any restriction such as damper, register plate, etc. must be removed or secured in the fully open position.

(e) Any underdraught ventilation or additional air supply

entering the fireplace or on the hearth must be sealed off.

635 mm MIN

(f) It must have at least 3 metre effective flue height.

(g) It must have a positive updraught.

CHECK THE FLUE FOR GOOD DRAUGHT Apply a lighted paper or smoke match to the top of the opening in the fireplace. Observe if there is a definite flow into the chimney and if so proceed with fitting the fire. If no flow is indicated, warm the chimney for several minutes and then re-check. If downdraught is observed a suitable terminal must be fitted and the chimney re-checked. If persistent no-flow or downdraught condition is observed

DO NOT FIT THE FIRE, SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.

2.2.2 PRE-CAST FLUE OF MINIMUM SIZE (Fig. 2)

This fire can be installed into a properly constructed pre-cast flue conforming to B.S. 1289 : 1975 or B.S. 1289 : Part 1 : 1986 or B.S. 1289 : Part 2 : 1989 of at least 3 metres effective height and having flueways of at least 198mm by 67mm or equivalent cross-sectional area with no dimension less than 63mm. The fireplace opening width must be between a maximum 457mm and a minimum 305mm. The fireplace opening height must be between a maximum of 585mm and a minimum 560mm and a depth of at least 120mm above the hearth level.

NOTES:

1. The minimum dimensions for the flat area around the

opening are 686 mm high x 635 mm wide.

2. The flue spigot restrictor MUST NOT be fitted.

Ensure that any mortar fangs between the blocks do not protrude into the flueways and if raking blocks are used they are fitted according to the manufacturers instructions and mortar is not allowed to drop down and accumulate in the raked portions.

CHECK THE FLUE FOR GOOD DRAUGHT AS DETAILED IN SECTION 2.2.1.
