Flue specification
All models - 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 or BS EN 1858.
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 or BS EN 1858 (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.
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 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. 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 or BS EN 1858. 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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and correct installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals.
This appliance has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm.This appliance is suitable for use
with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150°C minimum rating.
The fireplace opening should be inspected and repairs made where necessary. Any chair brick or fireback may be left insitu, providing
that the dimensional requirements for debris collection space and spigot clearances are met. See figure 1.
The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 350mm and 450mm wide, and 540mm to 575mm high. For flues used
with solid fuel, the minimum WIDTH is 380mm.
Opening DEPTH should be 200mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or Pre-cast flue which is new, unused, or previously used only with
a gas appliance. DEPTH should be 240mm or greater for a flue used for solid fuel of oil burning appliances. Opening DEPTHS include
any plaster or infill panels which form part of the installation.

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 correct operation of the flue. If the appliance does
not spill with the windows open, but spillage is detected with the windows closed, this demonstrates a lack of natural ventilation. If
spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault. Installation of an air brick is the best solution to lack of ventilation.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the immediate vicinity of the
appliance must not be used as adverse effects to the operation of the ODS may occur. Spillage detected during commissioning is almost
always a result of poor flue performance that 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.
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary flue
boxes provided that the minimum dimensions shown in figure 2
are complied with.
Constructional Note: The frame of the fire, any back panel or
other infill panels, and the flue box must be sealed together so that
there is no possibility of leakage between them. Adequate clearances to combustible materials (e.g. false chimney breast construction) must be maintained.
The manufacturers’ instructions for fitting the prefabricated box shall be complied with at all times. To fit the fire
using the cable fixing kit, some minor adaption may be necessary
for certain flue boxes. A check should be made to ensure the firebox does not obscure the flue box outlet. The firebox, base of the
flue box, and hearth below may be drilled to allow plugs and
screws to secure installation. It is important that the sealing
requirements of the appliance are met at all times and that the flue
box is well sealed to any back or infill panel. Note: The DEPTH
dimension is inclusive of any back or infill panel.
Stand the carton the right way up, cut the strapping bands and remove the top endcap. Read all the instructions before continuing to
unpack or install this appliance. Remove the box containing the firefront, and the bags containing the ceramic components. Remove the
cardboard packing pieces, and any other bags or boxes containing fittings or other parts. When all loose parts have been removed, the
outer sleeve may be lifted off to reveal the appliance. Check that the components supplied correlate with the component checklist given
in section 7.1. Please dispose of all the packaging materials at your local recycling centre.

Note: Ensure that the gas supply is isolated before commencing installation of the appliance.
The fireplace opening and environment must be in compliance with specifications
laid down in the appropriate sections of these instructions. Remove the appliance
from the carton as described previously and stand on a dust sheet or similar. Place
the coals/pebbles, ceramics and fixings safely to one side. Remove the burner from
the assembly by removing the two screws retaining the tray legs. The tray is now free
and may be lifted away.
SPIGOT RESTRICTOR :
If fitting the fire into a Class 1 or good Class 2 flue, attach the spigot restrictor to
the rear of the appliance using screws provided as shown in figures 3 and 4. If spillage
is detected during the commissioning of the appliance, the spigot restrictor should
be removed immediately.
SUPPLY PIPE ENTRY :
Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use where concealed pipework is required. Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with
a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet supplied. A small incision can
now be made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleeving. Do not install or use the appliance without the seal in place. If a hole is
inadvertently opened, reseal with an intact grommet. Failure to fit the seal correctly
will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, resulting in poor performance and intermittent cutting out of the burner.
SEALING STRIPS :
Apply the self adhesive sealing strips to the back
of the fireframe as shown in figure 5 to give a
continuous seal.
SLIDE CONTROL MODELS : The control
knob is supplied as a loose part. Insert the control
knob into the hole in the top of the slide control
spindle (Figure 6). Secure the control knob in position using the M4 nyloc nut provided. Affix the Slide
control position marking sticker on the trim next
to the control knob as shown in figure 16.
Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit correctly from the terminal.
If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed. Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the firebox in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging will make an ideal hearth saver pad. Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the firebox to the fireplace to check the fit is good.
Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base is firm on the floor of
the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that the spigot outlet of the fire is not restricted in
any way. Remove the firebox and take any necessary measurements before making good and preparing for final installation.
CABLE FIXING :
For fixing of the fire by the cable method, see the relevant section. The cable fixing locations should be marked on the back of the opening and the holes drilled. Fit the wall plugs and eyebolts to these holes.
SCREW FIXING :
For fixing by screw, mark and drill the fireframe or base, and the relevant points in the opening or on the wall. wall plugs will again be
required. Pre-punched holes are not provided for this purpose to allow you to choose the optimum positions.
GAS SUPPLY :
Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply, where required, can now be put into place. Refer to the gas supply section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the gas pipe is run should be sealed. The ends of the 8mm supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the ingress of debris during fixing.
PLEASE NOTE: Ensure fire can be removed for ease of servicing and not silconed
