INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This appliance MUST NOT be installed into a room containing a bath or shower, or where steam may be
present. The fire has been designed to fit into a builders’ opening or fireplace conforming to BS 1251 (and
meeting certain dimensional requirements), or a suitable flue box complying with the constructional requirements of BS 715. The flue box must be installed onto a suitable non-combustible insulating surface at least
12mm thick, covering the entire base are of the box.
The flue must have an effective height of at least three meters, as measured from the hearth to the top of
the flue. Any flue damper plates or restrictors should be removed and no other restriction fitted to the flue.
Where removal is not practical, the restriction must be fixed in the fully open position.
A natural draught flue system is required, and if previously used for solid fuel or oil burning, the flue and
chimney must be swept prior to appliance installation. The flue must be checked before installation by using
a smoke pellet or similar to ensure proper draw and that leakage is not evident at any joints. Repair and retest as necessary before the appliance is installed.
The flue must be connected to only one fireplace, and the flue must not vent more than one appliance (i.e.
not shared with a gas back boiler). There must be no opening in the flue apart from the one that the appliance is installed into, and the one venting the gases into the air. A suitable terminal may be fitted, such as
class GC1, as regulations allow.
This appliance is suitable for use with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150ºc minimum rating.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback
may be left in place, providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection and spigot clearance
are met.
The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 400mm and 460mm wide, and 540mm to
570mm high.
Opening DEPTH should be 210mm or greater. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which
form part of the installation. If the cable method of fixing the firebox is to be employed, an opening depth
of 240mm will be required.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following;
225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone.
175mm (7in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.
175mm (7in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715.
Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off.
The opening wall must be non-combustible and have adequate flat surface for appliance sealing.
The appliance requires a hearth with non-combustible surface of at least 12mm thick. The top surface must
be at least 50mm above the surrounding floor level, or be surrounded by a raised edge or fender 50mm
high.
To enable the products of combustion to be cleared properly up the flue, the outlet on top of the firebox
must have a minimum 50mm clearance between it and the back wall of the opening or other obstruction.
The area immediately above the outlet must form a smooth path into the flue.
Any type of fire surround used with this appliance must be adequately sealed to the wall and floor.
A combustible shelf may be fixed to the wall above the fire, providing that it complies with the dimensions
given below.
A non-combustible shelf may be fitted to within 10mm of the top edge of the fireframe. Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the frame of the appliance, providing the forward projection does not exceed 100mm (4in). Any combustible side walls must be at least
500mm to the side of the radiant heat source.
As with all heating appliances, any decorations, soft furnishings, and wall coverings (i.e. flock, blown vinyl
and embossed paper) positioned too close to the appliance may discolour or scorch.
