2.3 PREPARATION OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER OPENING (INTO EXISTING CHIMNEY BREAST)

An opening should be constructed to the following dimensions in the existing chimney breast. See figure 6 below.

Fig. 6

NOTE : Please ensure that access holes are cut into either the sides or area

above the lintel to allow access to the flue pipe connection if using a flue liner. Such access holes are also advantageous in installations where a flue liner is not required as they provide access for servicing purposes.

If installing without a flue liner, please ensure that sufficient depth is available in

the opening to collect a minimum volumetric area of 12 litres (0.012m3) of flue debris. This is achieved by a minimum depth of 385mm, the design of the outer combustion chamber ensures this depth can be met.

Refer to figure 1 on page three for dimensions of the flue outlet.

CHECK ANY LOAD BEARING STRUCTURAL ITEMS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE INSTALLATION OF THE PRODUCT. SEE FIG 6 OVERPAGE.

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.

Refit the glass frame as detailed in section 2.8, then light the appliance as detailed in section 3.4 / 3.5 as applicable.

3.2 MAKING THE GAS CONNECTION & CHECKING FOR GAS TIGHTNESS

a) 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. Failure to purge the gas supply will invalidate the guarantee.

b) The gas connection should be made to the appliance inlet elbow to

using 8mm rigid tubing.

c) Remove the pressure test point screw from the inlet elbow and fit a

manometer.

d) Turn on the main gas supply and carry out a gas tightness test.

below the centre of the lower front edge of the top of the fire as shown in figure 32 below (It is recommended that a suitable smoke match holder is used when checking for clearance of combustion products). All smoke generated should be drawn back into the flue. If slight spillage occurs or if in doubt, repeat the test after a further 5-10 minutes.

d) If spillage persists, 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.

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