The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977-1:2002 and the result is 81%. The gross
calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The test data from which it has been calculated
has been certified by GL Industrial Services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK Government’s Standard
Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.

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. 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. Pre-cast flues must be checked for mortar fangs and cor­rect installation of joints, flue sections in loft space and terminals.
This appliances has been tested for use with circular flues of a minimum internal diameter of 125mm.

This appliance MUST be installed into a non combustible back panel capable of withstanding 150

o

C.

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 fig­ure 1. The opening WIDTH and HEIGHT dimensions should be between 385mm and 440mm wide, and 545mm to
575mm high. For flues used with solid fuel, minimum WIDTH is 380mm.

Opening DEPTH should be 145mm or greater for a clay/cement lined or pre-cast flue which is new, unused or previ­ously only used with a gas fire. DEPTH should be 185mm 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. Any existing under grate draught device must be sealed off. WARNING This fire is designed to get very hot! The
fireplace opening wall or back panel must be non-combustible and rated to withstand 150
