- Make sure that combustible objects
and/or materials have a distance
from the appliance of at least
500 mm.
• Determine the location of the appliance; see fig. 1 for the dimensions of
the builder’s opening.
• Determine the construction height
of the appliance.
• Provide a gas connection at the location. For details, see the Installation
manual.
Checking the Class 1
Chimney’s Performance
Prior to Building the Builders
Opening
• Apply a smoke pellet to the base of
the chimney. If the smoke is drawn
into the chimney, continue and build
the builders opening. If there is little
to no flow into the chimney, preheat
the chimney and repeat the smoke
pellet test.
• If there is still no flow, Seek Expert
Advise as the chimney may need
attention and it may be necessary to
use a flue liner with the Chimney.
• Check if the ventilation of the room
is sufficient.
Builders Opening
Requirements (fig. 1)
• To build the appliance into the fireplace, a rectangular hole or Builders
Opening must be made that is
between 520mm and 530mm (Global
55 CF) or 695mm and 705mm
(Global 55XT CF) high and between
570mm and 590mm wide.
• The builders opening should be at
least 330 mm deep.
• Construct the Builders Opening
accurately ensuring it is square
and level to the front face of the
Opening. The front face around the
Builders Opening must be flat for at
least 50mm to ensure the foam seal
fitted to flanges of the convection
box forms a seal against the opening.
The convection box must be Fully
Sealed to the Front of the Builders
Opening. Failure to do so will Result
in a Spillage Problem.
• It is necessary and good practice to
fit a Lintel at the top of the Builders
Opening to support the brick work,
if in doubt always contact a qualified
Builder.
• Where the Builders Opening already
exists and is much larger than
required the front opening must be
reduced to the sizes shown above
with non-combustible and heat-resistant materials.
• The base of the opening must be
level with the bottom of the
opening, be flat and square with the
front of the opening.
• Where the fire is to be installed into
a wall where wall paper is being considered as a wall covering it is recommended that non-combustible and
heat-resistant slips such as slate or
