INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

The LPG (propane) version of this appliance MUST NOT be installed into a basement, or into an area that is
entirely or partially below ground level.

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 area of the box.

The flue must have an effective height of at least three metres, 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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and
correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals. 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 in a pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289. In accordance with
BS 1289 part 1, pre-cast flues built with directly plastered faces (front or rear) are not correctly installed as
to ensure proper operation with any type of gas fire. In some instances of this flue construction, tempera­ture cracking of the surface plaster may occur through no fault of the appliance. An air gap or some form
of insulation material should be installed to prevent normal flue temperatures from damaging wall surfaces.

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 situ, providing that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clear­ances are met. See diagram below.
The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 380mm and 450mm wide, and 540mm to
575mm high. For flues used with solid fuel, minimum WIDTH is 380mm.

Opening DEPTH should be 128mm (140mm - Eko 3020 models) or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre­cast flue which is new, unused or previously only used with a gas fire. DEPTH should be 168mm (180mm ­Eko 3020 models) or greater for a flue which has previously been used for a solid fuel or oil burning appli­ance. Opening DEPTHS include any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation.

This appliance requires a natural draught flue system which may be one of the following;

225mm x 225mm (9in x 9in) brick or stone.
125mm (5in) minimum diameter lined brick or stone.
125mm (5in) minimum diameter twin wall flue conforming to BS 715.
Pre-cast block flue complying with BS 1289.

Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off. The opening wall must be non-combustible.

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 at the back of the appli­ance must have a 50mm minimum clearance between it and the back wall of the opening or any 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 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.
