T

his fire is a very effective heating appliance and must be fitted against a wall of non-combustible material as
classified in BS 476-4:1970 (2007).

All parts of the appliance become hot while running and should therefore be considered to be working surfaces.

An air vent is not required for this application. Both appliances have been tested without the need for additional
air requirements.

W

e recommend that if the chimney/flue has been used for solid fuel, it is swept prior to installation of this

a

ppliance and that any flue restrictor or damper plate should be removed.

The chimney/flue must always generate a positive up draught to ensure safe operation.

The installer must then establish that all the products of combustion are entering the flue within ten minutes of
lighting from cold. This can be verified by inserting a lit smoke match into the central duct immediately above the
door. It should NOT be inserted into the left and right convector ducts.

T

his operation should be carried out before fitting the trim so no staining occurs (see ‘Spillage Test’ page 6).

A

n isolation valve must be fitted adjacent to the appliance. When closed, this will allow the complete burner and
control assembly to be disconnected for maintenance or repair in accordance with national regulations.

The gas supply should be provided by a semi rigid pipe with an 8mm diameter and should be no longer than 1.5
metres in length.

NOTE: When the gas supply pipe is passed through masonry or other brickwork always ensure that the end
of the pipe is covered to avoid any debris passing through into the appliance controls.

The appliance is fitted with an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS) that monitors the room for products of
combustion. If products are detected, the ODS will automatically shut down the appliance. If this situation
arises, re-light the appliance, referring to the user instructions (page 20).

If shut down re-occurs, a qualified person must be called to thoroughly check the appliance. The spillage
monitoring system (ODS pilot) must not be put out of operation or be tampered with or adjusted by either the
installer or the user. If the unit is found to be at fault it should be replaced with the manufacturers original
replacement parts.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must only be installed in Great Britain or Ireland.

1. This fire is a natural gas appliance and has been designed for use with the following applications:

a) Class I - Conventional brick or stone chimney as used for a solid fuel fire with a cross sectional dimension of
225mm x 225mm (9” x 9”) or a lined flue with a minimum diameter of 125mm (5”), with the fireplace components
conforming to BS1251, or a builders opening a minimum of:

Ethos Landscape - 466mm high and 757mm wide with a minimum depth of 325mm

Ethos Portrait - 622mm high and 757mm wide with a minimum depth of 325mm

to allow sufficient volume for debris collection (unlined chimney 12 dm3 and lined 2 dm3). Any permanent flue
restrictions or variable dampers are to be removed or locked in the fully open position.

The chimney should also

be swept prior to installation.

b) Class II -

An insulated flue (twin wall) having a minimum diameter of 125mm (5”) and a minimum ef

fective

overall height of 3 metres (10’).

NOTE: If the fire is to be used with an existing brick or stone chimney, a 125mm (5”) minimum diameter flue
liner conforming to BS715 may be used.

2. Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or decoration, e.g.
many embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance.

3. A suitable proprietary fire surround with 100°C rating may be used with a minimum clearance from hearth to
underside of shelf of 830mm, providing that the depth of shelf is 150mm or less. It is recommended that
combustible materials are not placed directly above or adjacent to this appliance.

FLUE FLOW TEST

A flue flow test (smoke test) is carried out to check the effectiveness of the flue and to ensure that there is no
leakage into another part of the premises (including any loft), or as appropriate other adjoining premises (this is
p

articularly important where a number of chimneys combine into a multiple stack).

The flue flow test should be carried out using a suitable smoke pellet which the pellet manufacturer claims to
generate 5m

3

of smoke in 30 seconds burn time.

T

hese gas fires should have the flue flow test carried out with the appliance in position but not connected to the

gas supply so that the smoke test can be carried out with representative flue flow conditions.

A warm flue will be more effective than a cold flue. If the flue is reluctant to draw, which can be initially assessed
b

y lighting a smoke match at the intended position of the appliance flue connection, introduce some heat into the

flue for a minimum of 10 minutes using a blow torch or other means.

Other factors, such as weather conditions and a combination of materials used to construct the flue can all
influence the flue draught. The pre-heating process may require as much as half an hour before the flue behaves
s

atisfactory as a blow torch does not represent the volume of heat consistent with the normal appliance operation.

A Flue Flow Test should be checked as follows:

1. Carry out those visual checks as indicated previously, and continue only if satisfactory.

2. Establish that an adequate air supply is available for the combustion of the appliance

3. Close all doors and windows in the room that the appliance is to be installed.

4. Light a smoke pellet at the intended position for the appliance. Place the inset fire case into position.

5. The test is satisfactory if:

- there is no significant escape of smoke from the appliance position.

- there is no seepage of smoke over the length of the flue.

- smoke is discharged only from the correct terminal.

VENTILATION

No special ventilation bricks or vents are required in the room containing the appliance, providing that normal
adventitious room ventilation exists. The installer must determine this by carrying out a spillage test.

SPILLAGE TEST

To check for satisfactory clearance of products of combustion, close all doors and windows and leave the fire
burning for ten minutes. Insert a lit smoke match 15mm into the central duct above the glass door. The left and
right hand ducts are convection ducts. All the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs, allow a further
ten minutes and repeat the test. Should spillage still occur turn the appliance off and seek expert advice. To
continue the test: If an extractor fan is situated in the room the test should be repeated with the fan running. If
there is a connecting room with an extractor fan the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room open
and the extractor fan running.

Ensure that the existing fire place lintel is made of
non-combustible material.

1

. Measure down 475mm (Ethos Landscape), 630mm
(Ethos Portrait) from the underside of the fireplace lintel
and make a mark on the wall.

2

. Construct a suitable non-combustible platform large
e

nough to sit the fire box on ensuring the top surface is
level with the mark on the wall. If the depth of chimney
breast does not facilitate a rear gas connection,
allowance must be made for the 8mm gas feed pipe to
e

nter the base of the fire box through the platform
(Fig. 10).

Under no circumstances should combustible
m

aterials such as wood be used in the construction

o

f the platform, due to the high temperatures that
the fire box reaches.

3. Insert the end of the flexible flue liner into the flue
plate ensuring that the cable is at the front and secure
with the three self tapping screws provided, then seal
around the joint using a proprietary fire cement or
mastic (Fig. 12).

4. Feed the cable provided through the hole in the flue
plate as shown.

5. Feed the cable through the hole in the top flange of
the fire box from the rear (Fig. 11).

6. Locate the front of the flue plate into the runners on
top of the fire box (Fig. 12).

7. When the flue plate is located in the runners carefully
pull the cable from the front of the fire and slide the fire
box into the opening at the same time. The flue plate
will slide through the runners and locate the flue over
the opening in the fire box (Fig. 12).

8. With the tab pulled through the slot in the flange of
the fire box, pull tight and bend the tab upwards to
secure (Fig. 13).

9. Cut of the remaining cable flush with the front of the
fire box (Fig. 13).

1. Construct a false chimney breast using a suitable
n

on-combustible steel frame construction kit (Fig. 15).

2. Ensure that there are two vertical steel battens
placed to allow the flange of the fire box to be screwed
to them (Fig. 15).

3

. Fix a horizontal batten at the desired height for the
fire box to sit on. Fix the second horizontal batten high
enough so that the firebox can slide into the opening
(Fig. 15).

Under no circumstances should combustible
materials such as wood be used in the construction
of the false chimney breast, due to the high
temperatures that the fire box reaches.

4. Construct a suitable non-combustible platform large
enough to sit the fire box on and level with the top of
the lower horizontal batten (Fig. 16).

Under no circumstances should combustible
materials such as wood be used in the construction
of the platform, due to the high temperatures that
the fire box reaches.

5. Slide the fire box into position and fix through the
holes in the flange into the chimney breast framework
using self drilling screws (Fig. 17).

6. Locate the twin wall flue pipe on to the flue adapter
on the top of the fire box. Drill three holes with a 3mm
bit around the flue tube and secure using the three self
tapping screws provided (Fig. 17).

7. Seal any gaps with fire cement.

8. Secure the fire box to the wall using the fixing holes
provided in the fire box flange (Fig. 18).
