No purpose made additional ventilation is normally required for this
appliance, when installed in G.B. When Installing in I.E. please consult
document I.S. 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation, which is issued by the
National Standards Authority of Ireland. If installing in Northern Ireland,
please consult local building regulations. Any purpose made ventilation
must be checked periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.

1.2 FLUE AND CHIMNEY SUITABILITY

This appliance is designed for use with conventional brick built or lined chimneys
and fabricated flues. It is also suitable for use with pre-cast flue blocks conforming
to BS EN 1858 and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715. All flues must
conform to the following minimum dimensions.

Minimum diameter of circular flues 125 mm

Minimum effective height of all flue types 3 metres

Safe clearance of products must always be checked by carrying out a smoke
match test as described.

4

1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

This fire can be installed with a fire surround in a conventional type installation
(see page 11 for dimensional information) or without a fire surround, for a hang on
the wall type installation. It must not be installed directly onto carpet or other

combustible floor materials.

The fire surround if installed must be manufactured from non-combustible

material and have a temperature rating of at least 150oc.

If a heating appliance is fitted directly against a wall without the use of a fire
surround or fire place all combustible material must be removed from behind
the Imagination fascia. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper
etc. will be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and / or discoloration
will result. Due consideration should be made to this when installing or
decorating.

1.4 SHELF POSITION

The fire may be fitted below a combustible shelf providing there is a minimum
distance of 200mm above the top of the fire and the shelf does not project more
than 150mm. If the shelf overhangs more than 150mm the distance between the
fire and the shelf must be increased by 15mm for every 25mm of additional
overhang over 150mm.

1.5 FLUE / CHIMNEY INSPECTION

Before commencing installation, a flue or chimney should be inspected to ensure
that all the following conditions are satisfied.

1. Check that the chimney / flue only serves one fire place and is clear of any
obstruction. Any dampers or register plates must be removed or locked in
the open position.

2. Brick/stone built chimneys or any chimney or flue which has been used for
an appliance burning fuel other than gas must be thoroughly swept. The
base of the chimney / flue must also be thoroughly cleared of debris etc.

3. Any under-floor air supply to the fire place must be completely sealed off.

4. Ensure that the inside of the chimney / flue is in good condition along it’s
length and check that there is no leakage of smoke through the structure
of the chimney during and after the smoke pellet test. With pre-cast flues

it is especially important to check the inside of the flue for extruded
cement / sealant protruding from the joints between the flue
blocks. If present, these should be removed by rodding the flue
before proceeding with the installation.

5. Using a smoke pellet, check that there is an up-draught in the
chimney / flue and that the smoke can be seen issuing from the
terminal / chimney pot outside.

5

There must be no leakage of smoke through the structure of
the chimney during or after the smoke pellet test and it is
important to check inside upstairs rooms adjacent to the chimney /
flue. Check the chimney pot / terminal and general condition of the

brickwork or masonry. If the chimney or flue is in poor condition or if
there is no up-draught do not proceed with the installation. If there is a
history of down-draught conditions with the chimney / flue, a tested and
certificated flue terminal or cowl suitable for the relevant flue type should
be considered.

6. A spillage test must always be carried out during commissioning of

the appliance.

1.6 CHIMNEY OPENING AND CATCHMENT SPACE

The front opening of the chimney must be between 300mm and 440mm wide, and
between 300mm and 440mm high. If the opening exceeds these dimensions then
an opening must be constructed from suitable non-combustible material to
produce a correct size opening. Any opening must be suitably sealed to prevent
leakage. See below in fig.1

When installing into a brick built chimney, you must ensure that there is sufficient
depth to accomodate any debris which may fall from the chimney. This depth
must be sufficient to accomodate 12 litres of volumetric space.

Table A - Installation Depth Requirements for a Flavel Curve being installed
into a brick built chimney, requiring 12.0 litres of debris collection volume
(fig. 2).

When installing this product into a builders opening / brick-built chimney, the depth
required is a minimum of 156mm. The 12.0 litres of debris collection volume is
achieved by the space available below the flue spigot.

This appliance is suitable for use in fireplaces fitted with an existing chairbrick
without the need for removal of the chairbrick, providing the minimum depth of the
fireplace exceeds 206mm. If the depth is less than 206mm then the chairbrick
must be removed. The fireplace must be checked to ensure that no part of the
chairbrick is within 50mm of the flue outlet of the fire when installed.

For example, if the appliance was to be fitted into a 300mm wide opening, the
depth required would be 156mm. See fig. 2 below for explanatory diagram.

1.7 FITTING TO PRE-CAST FLUE INSTALLATIONS

To install the fire box in to pre-cast flue starter blocks, there must be at least
100mm from the mounting face of the fire to the rear of the pre-cast flue
starter block to allow sufficient space for debris collection. It is important to

consider this depth when choosing a fire surround as the thickness of the fire
surround must be sufficient to give a total depth of at least 100 mm to the rear of
the starter block, otherwise there will be insufficient depth. It is important to
ensure that the pre-cast flue is in good condition and is free from extruded mortar
or sealant from between the flue blocks.

This appliance has been tested for use in a pre-cast flue block complying
with BS EN 1858. In accordance with BS EN 1858, 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 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. IF FITTING TO A PRE-CAST FLUE SYSTEM, ALWAYS REMOVE THE
FLUE RESTRICTOR PLATE.

1.8 FITTING TO PRE-FABRICATED TWIN WALL METAL FLUE BOXES

The appliance may be fitted to twin wall metal flue boxes conforming to the
constructional requirements of BS 715, (for example the Selkirk LFE 125 box).
The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm internal and minimum
internal dimensions of 100mm deep by 300mm high by 300mm wide. There are
no maximum dimensional requirements for the box. The top face of the box must
be insulated with a minimum thickness of 50mm of non-combustible mineral wool
insulation or similar material. The flue box must stand on a non-combustible base
of minimum thickness 12mm.

1.9 HEARTHS (IF SPECIFIED)

If fitting without a hearth panel, this appliance must only be installed at a minimum
height to the base of the opening of 160mm above the floor level, (measured from
the bottom edge of the “Curve” fascia) e.g. above the level of the carpet or floor
covering.
If fitted using a conventional hearth panel, the distance from the top face of the
hearth panel to the bottom of opening / closure plate should be a minimum of
100mm

8

1.10 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in
the form of an oxygen sensing pilot. This is designed to shut the fire off in the
event of a partial or complete blockage of the flue causing a build up of
combustion products in the room in which the fire is operated. The following are
important warnings relating to this spillage monitoring system :-

1) The spillage monitoring system must not be adjusted by the installer.

2) The spillage monitoring system must not be put out of operation.

3) When the spillage monitoring system is exchanged only a complete original

manufacturers part may be fitted. It is not possible to replace individual parts on
the pilot system on this appliance, only a complete pilot assembly (including the
thermocouple) may be fitted.

3.2 CHECKING FOR CLEARANCE OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS

a) Close all doors and windows in the room.
b) Light the fire and allow to run for approximately 5 minutes on high

position.
c) After approximately 5 minutes hold a smoke match as shown at the

lower front edge of the draught divereter, as shown below in Fig. 13

It is recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when

checking for clearance of combustion products. All smoke generated

should be drawn back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in

doubt, repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes.
d) If spillage persists, remove the flue restrictor baffle from the spigot by

removing the spigot itself, the two top screws secure the restrictor baffle

and spigot to the rear of the combustion chamber. If after removing the

flue restrictor baffle spillage still persists, the flue is not functioning

correctly and a fault exists. If, after investigation the fault cannot be

traced and rectified, the fire must be disconnected from the gas supply

and expert advice obtained.
e) If there is an extractor fan fitted any where in the vicinity of the

appliance, the spillage test should be repeated with the fan running on

maximum and all interconnecting doors open.
f) After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left on high

position to fully warm up. During this time a slight odour may be

noticed, this is due to the “newness” of the fire and will soon disappear.

Finally, hand the Installation and Maintenance Instructions and the

Users Instructions over to the customer and explain the operation of the

fire.
