2.6Note that soft wall coverings (e.g.
embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by heat.
They may scorch or become discoloure d w hen
close to a heating appliance. Please bear this in
mind when installing.
2.7The minimum allowable distance to a
corner wall or other combustible projec tion from
the outside edge of the front surround at eithe r
side is 100mm. See figure 1
2.8The minimum height from the top
surface of the hearth to the underside of any shelf
made from wood or other combustible m aterials
is as follows:-
• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum
height = 750mm.
• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 750mm +
12.5mm for every 25mm depth ove r 150m m.
See figure 1.
2.9The appliance must not be installed in any
room, which contains a bath, or show e r or where
steam is regularly present.
2.10In the United Kingdom, as supplied, this
appliance can be installed in the following situations: -
2.10.1A masonry chimney with a minim um
diameter of 175mm free from obstruction. Note the
flat surface area requirem ent (Figure 1a ). A masonry
chimney having a correctly insta lled flue line r to
BS715 and with a minimum flue diame te r of 125mm

is also acceptable. Chair bric k rem oval may not be require d providing a t lea st 50m m
clearance is available from the flue outlet to any fire plac e com ponent. This applia nce is
designed to cater for low lintel installa tions (minimum height 505mm) provided that a
minimum distance of 45mm is maintained between the lintel and the front face of the
fireplace – i.e the fire surround has a m inim um reba te of 45mm .
2.10.2A twin wall metal flue sy stem conforming to BS715, the flue diameter being a
minimum of 125mm (See figure 2) w ith a minim um inte rna l depth of 250mm .
Incombustible mineral wool insulation of not le ss tha n 50mm thickness must be applied to
Page 6
INSTALLER’S GUIDE
the top surface of the system firebox a nd
must stand on a non-combustible ba se of
25mm thickness.
2.11The appliance must be mounted
behind a non-combustible hea rth with
minimum dimensions as figure 3. (n.b
conglomerate marble hea rths are conside re d
as non-combustible). The applia nce ca n be
fitted to a purpose made proprietary cla ss
“O” 150°C surround. The hearth m ateria l
must be at least 12mm thick. The periphe ry
of the hearth (or fender) should be at least
50mm above floor level to discoura ge the
placing of carpets or rugs over it.
The appliance must not stand on
combustible materials or carpets.
The appliance must not be fitted
directly against a combustible wall. If
the appliance is to be fitted against a wall
with combustible cladding, the cladding
must be removed from the area covered
by the appliance outer surround. We
suggest that the actual surround is use d as
a template to mark the area for
combustible cladding rem oval.
2.12The flue must not be used for any
other appliance or application.

2.13If the fireplace opening is of underfloor dra ught ty pe, it m ust be sealed to stop a ny
draughts.
2.14An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this applia nce, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it doe s not affec t the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spilla ge test requireme nts deta iled further on in this
manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the a ppliance must not be insta lle d
unless the fan is permanently disconnec te d.

(+) is to the right as you insert.
3.2.2Depress the slider as far as it will go.This
should close the ignition circuit. Sparks should be se e n
tracking from the electrode pin to the therm ocouple tip.
See figure 5.
If there are no sparks make the following checks.
a) Check condition of battery and that it is correctly
fitted.
b) Check spark gap betwee n elec trode w ire and
thermocouple tip. See figure 6.
c) If a & b are satisfactory, check the ignition circuit and
components - see the servicing sec tion in this ma nua l.
3.3 C heck The Fireplace
The fireplace must comply with all the re quireme nts of sec tion 2.
The fireplace floor should be rea sona bly flat to ensure tha t the
convection box can be installe d without it rocking a nd so tha t a
good seal can be made at the bottom front of the box. The front
