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 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 is suitable for use with a “lightweight” surround and back panel of 150
O
C 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 470mm and 530mm wide, and 540mm (see
note below) to 575mm high.
Note: The spigot outlet of the fire is 565mm high, but should fit into the gather at the top of the fireplace as the appliance is fitted. Any modifications to the fireplace opening must be to a height of
565mm min.
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.
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.
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 above. 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.

DEBRIS COLLECTION SPACE
The mounting depth of this appliance is 180mm.
In accordance with BS 5871 part 2, minimum debris collection volumes are required behind the installed
appliance. These are shown in the table below and as dimension X on the fireplace diagram shown previously.
CLAY/CEMENT LINES OR BLOCK FLUE WHICH IS NEW, UNUSED, OR PREVIOUSLY ONLY USED WITH A

UNLINED FLUE OR CHIMNEY WHICH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY USED FOR A SOLID FUEL OR OIL
BURNING APPLIANCE X Dimension = 60mm
VENTILATION
This appliance requires purpose provided ventilation of at least 8.75cm2. 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 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 ventilation and will require the
installation of additional ventilation. If spillage is still detected with the windows open, the flue is at fault.
Any ventilation fitted must comply with BS 5871 part 2 and BS 5440 part 2. Vents fitted under or within the
immediate vicinity (500mm) 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.
PREFABRICATED FLUE BOXES
This appliance can be fitted into a number of proprietary
flue boxes provided that the minimum dimensions given
in the diagram below 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.
UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE
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.
