6. BS 6461 Part 1 Installation of Chimneys and flues

7. B.S. E.N. 1858 Chinmeys Components & Concrete Flue Blocks

8. IS 813 : 1996 Domestic Gas Installation (Republic of Ireland)

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 and metal flue boxes conforming to BS 715 / BS EN 1856-2. All flues must conform to the following minimum dimensions.

Minimum diameter of circular flues 125 mm (without flue

restrictor fitted)

Minimum effective height of all flue types 3 metres

When fitting to conventional chimneys or 175mm flues it may be desirable to fit the flue restrictor baffle (supplied) to reduce the flue flow and increase the efficiency of the fire. Safe clearance of products must always be checked by carrying out a smoke match test as described.

5

1.3 FIREPLACE / SURROUND SUITABILITY

The fire must only be installed on a hearth it must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combustible floor materials.

The fire is suitable for fitting to non-combustible fire place surrounds and

proprietary fire place surrounds with a temperature rating of at least 150oc. (Class “O”)

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 trim. Soft wall coverings such as blown vinyl, wall paper etc. could be affected by the rising hot air and scorching and/or discoloration may 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.

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. 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.

6

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 FIRE PLACE OPENING AND CHIMNEY CATCHMENT SPACE

The front opening of the fire place must be between 330 and 440mm wide, and between 550 and 575mm high. If the opening exceeds these dimensions then a surround must be constructed from suitable non-combustible material to produce a correct size opening. Any surround must be suitably sealed to the fire place to prevent leakage. See below in figure 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.

1.7 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 / BS EN 1856-2, (for example the Selkirk LFE 175 box). The box must have a minimum flue diameter of 125mm internal and minimum internal dimensions of 185mm deep by 580mm high by 400mm 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.

1.8 HEARTHS - STANDARD MODELS

This appliance must only be installed on to a concrete or non-combustible hearth. The hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 13mm with the top surface at least 50mm above the floor. The hearth must be fitted symmetrically about the fire opening and have a minimum width of 760mm and a minimum projection of 300mm forwards from the fire opening. EFC models required an increased hearth projection of 320mm forwards of the fireplace opening.

1.9 FITTING TO PRE-CAST FLUE INSTALLATIONS

When installing this appliance into pre-cast flues, always ensure that the spigot restrictor baffle has been removed. This is held in place on the spigot by 2 screws. To install the fire box in to pre-cast flue starter blocks, there must be at least 135mm from the mounting face of the fire to the rear of the pre-cast flue starter block to allow sufficient space for debris collection. If this

dimension is less than 135mm then a fire surround with a deeper rebate to increase the depth to at least 135mm from the mounting face of the fire. 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 135 mm to the rear of the starter block, otherwise there will be insufficient depth. To increase this depth the fire surround may be packed away from the wall using suitable noncombustible board, providing the installation is correctly sealed. If in doubt about the suitability of the fire contact BFM Europe Ltd. for advice before proceeding. 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.

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.

1.11 WALL MOUNTING - CONTEMPORARY WALL HUNG MODELS

This appliance must be fitted on a flat, non-combustible base of minimum thickness 12mm. In addition, a non-combustible hearth or physical barrier should be provided in front of the fire.

With “hole in the wall” type installations, where it may be desirable not to fit a hearth panel or physical barrier, the product may be installed in accordance with Document J of the building regulations so that every part of the flame or incandescent material is at least 225mm above the floor level. For the customers safety, and in accordance with BS 5871-2, the fitting of a hearth panel or physical barrier should be carried out. Should this advice not be followed however, please give consideration to the safety of the occupants in the room to which the appliance is installed.

Any hearth panel or physical barrier that is fitted should project a mnimum of 300mm forwards from the fire opening and 150mm either side of the fire opening, as shown below in Fig. 3 Any physical barrier must be securely fixed and be of robust design.

g) Whilst the fire box is still in position, decide which side the gas supply is

to enter the fire from. If concealed pipe work is required plan the pipe run to enter the fire box through one of the openings in the sides or rear of the fire box below the fuelbed support panel and connect to the isolating / inlet elbow. The gas connection to the appliance should be made to the isolating / inlet elbow using 8mm rigid tubing. There must be no soldered joints within the firebox. See fig. 8 & 9 below for suggested concealed pipe layouts.

Fig. 8 - R/H/S Gas Supply Route

Fig. 9 - L/H/S Gas Supply Routes

Note : Before breaking into the gas supply a tightness test should be carried out to establish that the existing pipework is sound.

Carefully withdraw the fire box from the opening to enable the gas supply and fire fixing to be completed.

IMPORTANT : THE 45MM GROMMET SUPPLIED IN THE LOOSE ITEMS MUST BE USED TO SEAL THE GAS INLET POINT UTILISED ON THE FIREBOX. FAILURE TO SEAL THIS INLET POINT COULD RESULT IN FLAME REVERSAL AND DAMAGE TO THE CONTROLS ON THE FIRE. BFM EUROPE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO THE FIRE AS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS REQUIREMENT.

The preferred method of fixing which is suitable for almost all situations is the cable fixing method which is described in the following section in detail.

To fit using the preferred cable method proceed as follows-

h) Mark out and drill 4 off No 14 (6mm) holes in the back face of the fire

opening in the positions shown below in figure 10.

Fig. 10

Fit the wallplugs provided and screw the fixing eyes securely into the rear of the fire opening.

i) Uncoil the two fire fixing cables and thread one end of each of the

cables through one of the two holes on each side of the flue outlet shroud.

j) Position the fire carefully on the (protected) surface of the hearth and

reach into the fire opening. Thread each of the cables vertically downwards through the pair of fixing eyes on the same side of the fire. Thread the free end of the cables through the corresponding circular hole on each side of the lower rear of the fire. Carefully slide the fire box back into the fire opening and pull both cables tight.

k) Thread a tensioning screw over each of the cables and ensure that the

tensioning nut is screwed fully up against the hexagon shoulder of the tensioning screw (this provides maximum travel for the tensioning nut).

l) Fit a screwed nipple on to each of the cables and pull hand tight up

against the tensioning screw, then secure each nipple with a flat bladed screwdriver. See figure 11 overpage.

m) Evenly tighten the tensioning nuts to tension both cables and pull the

fire snugly against the wall. Do not overtighten, it is only necessary to pull the seal up against the sealing face of the wall, it does not need to be compressed. Check that there are no gaps behind the seal.

n) With the fire securely in place, if a concealed gas connection has been

made through either of the access holes in the sides of the fire, the holes should be closed around the pipe to prevent leakage of air through the gap around the pipe.

o) Refit the burner. Fit the two retaining screws and check that the burner

is correctly locked into position.

p) Before making the final gas connection, thoroughly purge the gas

supply pipework to remove all foreign matter, otherwise serious damage may be caused to the gas control valve on the fire.

The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the best appearance.

Warning : Use only the coal set supplied with the fire. When replacing the coals remove the old coals and discard them. Fit a complete set of coals of the correct type. Do not fit additional coals or any coals other than a genuine replacement set.

This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F.), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum, during installation & servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire, before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these arrticles, but we do recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.

3.8 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 10mm inside and

below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire as shown overpage in figure 21. (It is recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when checking for clearance of combustion products). The majority of smoke generated should be drawn back into the flue. If spillage occurs or if in doubt, repeat the test after a further 10 minutes.

If the test indicates that spillage is occurring and the flue restrictor baffle has been fitted, it should be removed and the test repeated after the fire has cooled. See figure 19 below for details of how to remove and re-fit the restrictor baffle.

d) If spillage persists with the restrictor baffle removed, 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.

Restrictor baffle - Held in position by 2 off self tapping screws on rear spigot of fire. Restrictor baffle can be removed from below the canopy with the firebox installed

f) After ensuring that the fire is safe to use it should be left in the 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.

At this stage any minor adjustments to the coals should be made using suitable long handled tongs and taking care not to damage the coals.

Finally, hand the Installation and Maintenance Instructions and the Users Instructions over to the customer and explain the operation of the fire.

ABOUT YOUR NEW FLAVEL WINDSOR / STIRLING PLUS GAS FIRE

The The Flavel Windsor & Stirling Plus coal effect gas fires incorporate a unique and highly developed fuel bed which gives the realism of a loose coal layout combined with realistic flames and glow. The use of durable ceramic material in the construction of the fuelbed components ensures long and trouble free operation. When first using the new fire a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch used in the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals / pebbles, it is non-toxic and will soon disappear. Please take the time to fully read these instructions as you will then be able to obtain the most effective and safe operation of your fire.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

This appliance has a naked flame and as with all heating appliances a fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. Fireguards should conform to B.S. 8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use with gas heating appliances).

It is important that this appliance is serviced at least once a year by a GAS SAFE registered installer and that during the service the fire is removed from the fire opening and the chimney or flue visually checked for fallen debris or blockages which must be removed. The chimney should also be checked to ensure clearance of flue products.

After installation or during servicing a spillage test must always be carried out.

Rubbish of any type must NEVER be thrown onto the fuel bed, this could affect safe operation and damage the fire. Any debris or deposits should be removed from the fuel bed from time to time. This may be carried out by referring to the cleaning section as described later in this book. Only the correct number and type of coals / pebbles must be used and only complete and genuine replacement sets must be used. Always keep furniture and combustible materials well clear of the fire and never dry clothing or items either on or near to the fire.

5.6 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

All models regardless of control type are fitted with a spillage monitoring system which shuts down the fire if the evacuation of combustion products from the fire is affected by a partially or fully blocked flue. If this system operates the fire will go out. If this occurs, leave the fire for at least three minutes then follow the lighting procedure as described in the previous section. In the event of repeated

operation a GAS SAFE registered gas engineer must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.

5.7 CLEANING - WARNING

Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the fire has been allowed to fully cool.

CLEANING THE TRIMS AND PAINTED METAL PARTS

Dependent upon the trim option chosen for use with this fire, there is a variety of methods that can be chosen to clean the trim. If a Brass trim was supplied with this fire this is plated brass and this trim must only be cleaned using a clean damp cloth. Metal polishes must not be used on these trims. If a black trim was chosen, then these should only be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth also. The trim is best cleaned by removing it from the fire and placing it face up on a flat surface. The fender that was supplied with the fire is laquered to protect the finish and therefore must only be cleaned using a clean damp cloth.

Abrasive cleaners, chemical cleaning agents or any type of polish must never be used as damage to the finish may result.

CLEANING THE FUEL BED

We do not recommend cleaning of coals / pebbles or fuelbed components as these are fragile and damage may result. None of these parts must be washed or exposed to any cleaning agents or water. Any damaged parts must be replaced by contacting your dealer or telephoning BFM Europe Ltd on the number stated on the rear cover of this book. Coals / pebbles must only be replaced with a complete and genuine replacement set and the fire must never be run with the wrong number or damaged coals. The fuelbed must be carefully re-assembled as stated in the following section.

The exact position and fit of the coals may be finely adjusted to give the best appearance.

Warning : Use only the coal set supplied with the fire. When replacing the coals remove the old coals and discard them. Fit a complete set of coals of the correct type. Do not fit additional coals or any coals other than a genuine replacement set.

This appliance uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F.), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release of fibres from these R.C.F. articles is kept to a minimum, during installation & servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire, before and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as “RCF waste”. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these arrticles, but we do recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area, and always wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.
