Important Notes – Please read before undertaking the installation

1. This is not a “Do it yourself” product and it must be installed by a

competent person.

2. The Installation Instructions must be adhered to without exception.

3. The heat from this appliance will cause the wall directly above the

appliance to become quite hot. If there is any concern about the
integrity of the plaster or wall finish, we recommend that slips made
from heat resistant material are fitted to cover the wall for at least
100mm above the top of the inner fascia panel. Any remedial
plasterwork above the appliance should be allowed to thoroughly dry
before lighting the appliance. Premixed packet mortars should not be
used as the inhibitors incorporated in these products can cause
continual shrinkage after setting.

GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

Fitting the Appliance

1 The law demands that all gas appliances are installed by a qualified installer in

accordance with the current GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE)

REGULATIONS. The installation must comply with these installation

instructions and all relevant parts of Local and National Building Standards

(Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations and those relevant recommendations of

the following British Standards. BS 5871: Part 1 BS 8303 BS 5440: Parts

1 & 2 BS 6891 BSEN1856 Parts 1 & 2 BS 5482 Part 1, as well as

IGE/UP/7.

2 The appliance can be fitted onto and inset into outside walls where the terminal

does fall into any of the prohibited positions mentioned in the next section. The

centre of the glass window is 157mm below the centre of the flue terminal. The

centre of the terminal should be positioned at least 700mm above floor level to

allow space for the fascia to drop down on its runners. If the fireplace has to be

altered a lintel will be required to support masonry over the opening and if it is

to be surface mounted the maximum wall thickness allowed is 405mm. If the

appliance is to be inset into the wall this may be increased to 525mm. If

required, a longer flue duct is available which allows the maximum wall

thicknesses to be increased to 800mm for the surface mount installation and

920mm for the inset installation.

4 Decorative Fascia Panel

This appliance must be installed with the fascia panel set supplied. This panel

allow the passage of air for convection and for the cooling of the control system.

It must be installed as described in these instructions. The fire should never be

left running with this fascia panel dropped down. This will overheat both the

fascia and glass window.

5 Ventilation

This is a room-sealed appliance; therefore, there is no requirement for purpose

made ventilation into the room containing the fire.

6 The appliance is designed for use with natural gas only.

7 The appliance must not be installed in a room containing a bath or shower or in

a private garage.

8 Shelf

If a shelf made of combustible material is to be fixed to the wall above the

appliance a space of at least 150mm must be left between the top of the fascia

and the underside of the shelf.

9 THE HEARTH (Appliances in floor level fireplaces)

Where the appliance is fitted in a floor level builders opening, floor level fireplace

recess or floor level flue box, the hearth shall:

a, Extend through the whole base of the builders opening, fireplace recess or

beneath the flue box.

b, Project at least 275mm in front of the glass window panel.

c, Project at least 150mm beyond each side of the edge of the glass window

panel. or if there is a non-combustible wall within 150mm of glass panel,
up to that wall.

d, Have a thickness of not less than 12mm and a minimum height of 50mm

along its front and side edges.

Hole-in-the-wall installations

Where the appliance is installed in a hole-in-the-wall fireplace, a hearth as

previously detailed for floor level fireplaces shall be fitted on the floor beneath

the hole so as to protect combustible material from radiant heat.

a, If a hearth is not to be used, so as to maintain a minimal and

contemporary styling, the appliance must be installed so that the base of
the appliance is at least 200mm vertically above any carpet or floor
covering.

b, Where no hearth is to be fitted consideration should be given to fixing a

tactile separator to protect young children, the elderly and the infirm. A
tactile separator can be in the form of a fender, kerb, hearth, shelf or
horizontal bar all made from non combustible material and fixed not less
than 50mm & not more than 1000mm above the floor level. It should be
positioned not less than 275mm in front of and 150mm beyond the edge
of the window glass.

10 Combustible Walls & Timber Framed Dwellings

The appliance may be fitted directly to wall made both from combustible and

non combustible material. If it is to inset into the wall, the inner wall plate

(supplied separately) must be used and a gap of 25mm should be maintained

between the top, rear and sides of the convector box and any combustible

material. These gaps should be filled with mineral wool insulation.

A gap of 50mm must be maintained between the outer flue and any combustible

material including the external wall. This gap must be filled with mineral wool

insulation.

Installations into timber framed dwellings must follow the recommendations of

IGEM/UP/7 ‘Gas Installation in Timber Framed Buildings’ available from The

Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers’. The appliance must not be inset

unless provision has been made by the builders with the approval of the

designers of the dwelling.

Fitting

This appliance can be installed either by being fixed directly on to the surface or

it can be inset into the inner leaf of a cavity wall. Before starting the installation

remove the glass door by unscrewing the eight nuts securing the door and place

in a safe place until required.

Undoing the nuts and bolts on the outer flanges of the appliance separate the

heat exchanger from the convector box.

Surface Installation

1 Select a position for the appliance and mark the centre of the flue. This should

be at least 700mm above finished floor level. (This is to give sufficient clearance

to allow the door to drop down). The centre of the glass panel will be 157mm

below this mark (See Figure 2). At this position drill a 152mm diameter hole in

the wall for the flue. Apply white foam tape (supplied) around the edges of the

back of the convector box to form a dust seal between the box and the wall.
