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

1.2 FLUE TERMINAL POSITION

The minimum acceptable dimensions from the flue terminal to obstructions and
ventilation openings are shown below in fig. 1 and listed in the table (fig. 2 below)

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE POSITION OF THE FLUE ALLOWS THE FREE
PASSAGE OF AIR ACROSS IT AT ALL TIMES.

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. 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 FIRE PLACE OPENING

The front opening of the fire place must be between 330 and 430 mm wide, and
between 550 and 565mm 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 fig.3

520mm Minimum

1.5 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.

1.6 INSTALLATION TYPES

This fire can be fitted against an outside facing facing flat wall surface or into a
fireplace opening cut into the wall.

When fitting the fire in front of the inner cavity wall

, the distance between the
mounting face of the fire and the rear face of the firebox must be a minimum of
170mm, a false chimney breast or fireplace surround should be constructed.

The
firebox must then be secured into the fireplace using the method described in
section 2. Any combustible material must be removed from the the area around
the firebox flange. In all installations, ensure that there is no structural damage to
the property or the damp course. See fig. 4 below

Inner Cavity Wall
Outer Cavity Wall

When fitting the fire into a cavity wall, this requires the opening of the inner leaf
of brickwork, to recess the firebox into. The opening needs to be sufficient to
accomodate the firebox. T

o support the wall above the hole, a suitable lintel must
be inserted across the top of the opening. If fitting the appliance into a cavity wall,
a lintel 750mm long having a thickness of 75mm with a height of the inner wall
should be used.

The lintel could be either pre-cast concrete or steel - Catnic
CN52 or CN 46 could be used, depending upon the inner wall thickness. Before
proceeding with the installation of the fire, an assessment of the area immediately
above the fire is required, see Fig. 5 overpage. If there is no existing openings
within either triangle, proceed with forming the opening. However, if opening or
beams occur within either triangle, then you should seek specialist advice from a
structural engineer or consider relocating the proposed position of the firebox.

To proceed with the installation when the above stated criteria have been
satisfied :-

Mark out where possible, centrally beneath a block joint where the lintel is to be
fitted. Unless lime mortar has been used it will be necessary to drill four holes
with a masonary drill, then use a mechanical cutter such as a “shark saw” to cut
out the correct size of slot in the inner leaf of brickwork for the lintel you have
chosen to install. See fig. 6 below.

Fig. 6

Fit the lintel, ensure that it is bedded on mortar. Do not bed on a dry bed.
Then remove all debris from the cavity and construct the opening to the minimum /
maximum opening sizes as shown overpage (fig. 7) and in section 1.4, (fig. 3)

8

Remove any combustible material from within the area of the opening. No
combustible material can be allowed to come into contact with any area of the
appliance.

Ensure that the recess that is cut is to the required
dimensions and is screed level so that the firebox will
sit level within the recess.

Lintel must project
Minimum of 150mm
each side of the
opening

1.7 HEARTHS

This appliance must only be installed on to a concrete or non-combustible hearth.
The hearth material must be a minimum thickness of 12mm 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.

1.8 SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM

This appliance is fitted with an atmosphere sensing spillage monitoring system in
the form of an oxygen sensing burner. 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.
