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. Either a ‘Replacement Chairbrick’ or a BS 1251
chairbrick should also be fitted into the builders’ opening. 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 re-test 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 has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of
175mm.
The flue termination (cowl) must be of a type suitable for use with an inset Decorative Fuel Effect
Fire BS5871 part 3 contains further details.

SITE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
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 fireplace opening.
Combustible materials, such as wood, may be fitted to within 100mm (4in) of either side of the
fireplace opening , 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.
VENTILATION
No purpose provided ventilation is normally required for this appliance. The requirements of
other appliances operating in the same room or space must be taken into consideration when
assessing ventilation.
If spillage is detected when commissioning the appliance then amongst other problems there may
be insufficient natural ventilation for the correct operation of the flue. This is potentially a greater
problem should the property be of modern nature. If the appliance does not spill with windows
open but does with windows closed, this proves that lack of ventilation is the problem, if not, it
will be the flue at fault. Installation of an airbrick in these circumstances may be the best solution. Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Ventilation located underneath or within the immediate vicinity of the fire MUST NOT be used as it may adversely affect the performance of the O.D.S. system.
Spillage detected during commissioning is almost always a result of poor flue performance, which
cannot be corrected by any amount of ventilation.
For Republic of Ireland ventilation may be required, see IS 813, ICP3, IS 327, and any other rules
in force.
UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
