3. Installation Parameters
The fire unit must be installed and used in accordance with these
instructions.
This appliance is for decorative purposes.
For your safety it is law that all gas appliances must be installed by a
competent person, in accordance with the current gas safety
regulations applicable in the country of use.
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the relevant
local and national specifications and comply with building regulations.
The following must comply with the requirements and satisfy Building
Regulations – Approved Document J.
Builders opening and Fire Chamber must be constructed of
non-combustible material
Hearth and clearance dimensions
The minimum flue opening is 178mm (7”) diameter 250 sq.
cm. (38.5 sq. inches) and a minimum height of 3m (10ft),
provided the flue which serves this appliance.
An in-line fan that complies with BS 5440: Part 1 can be used to
improve flue draught.
NOTE - The flue must not be shared with any other appliance.
Prior to installation, ensure the compliance of local distribution
conditions (E.g. The type of gas, pressure and the adjustment of the
appliance) are compatible.
The builder's opening or fireplace opening must be constructed of a
non-combustible material.
Before the fire is installed, the chimney should be swept and a flue
test in accordance with National Regulations should be carried out.
The flue must be fitted in accordance with National Regulations,
damper plates or flue restrictors must be removed or fixed
permanently in the fully open position.
The gas connection must be in accordance with National Regulations.
The pilot light and flame sensing system fitted to this fire is also an
atmosphere sensing device, this is not adjustable and must not be put
out of action. If the pilot light is damaged or faulty it should be replaced
only with the original identical unit supplied by Chesney’s Limited.
The room where the appliance is to be fitted must have a permanent
air vent with a minimum effective area of 100cm sq. to the outside air
in accordance with National Regulations and must be checked on a
regular basis to ensure there is no obstruction.

This appliance must not be fitted in any room where steam is present
(e.g. Bathroom).
The appliance is not fitted with an integral guard. It is recommended
that a guard be used for the protection of young children, the elderly or
infirm and also for normal use conforming to BS8423:2002, such that
access to the flame is minimised.
It is advised not to stand too close to the appliance for prolonged
periods of time; loose clothing is particularly at risk of burning due to
the presence of an unguarded flame.
It is also advised against placing combustible materials directly in front
of the appliance. Floor coverings, such as carpets, are considered to
be acceptable.
Due to the newness of materials, the fire may give off a slight smell for
a period of time after commissioning. This is quite normal and any
odours should dissipate within a few hours of operation.

4. Installation
Check flue soundness
A smoke pellet can be used to test the flue for effectiveness of the draw, also
checking other parts of the dwelling (including loft areas) for leakage, downdraught etc.
If the flue is unsatisfactory seek advice from a flue specialist.
NOTE – The smoke pellet gives a fair idea on the draw, but is no guarantee
that the products of combustion from the fire unit will clear, this is also to be
tested after the installation by carrying a spillage test.
Below is a guide to the flue diameter and minimum flue heights for different
size openings.
NOTE - This table is a rough guide, due to some complex flue systems in
some dwellings the suggested table may still be inadequate, contact a flue
specialist for more advice.
