GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
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 Regulations or Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations and those relevant recommendations of the following
British Standards.
BS 5871: Part 2 BS 8303 BS 5440: Parts 1 and 2 BS 1251 BS 6891
The current IEE wiring regulations, Local Building Regulations and the Building
Standards (Scotland) (Remote Models only).
These Installation Instructions must be adhered to without exception.

2 FIREPLACE See figure 1
The radiant fireboxes can be fitted to
fireplaces which meet the dimensional
requirements shown in figure 1.
Basket installations require a fireplace
large enough to accommodate the
basket chosen.
Decorative frets should have a
minimum of 50cm2 (8 sq. ins.) of free
air space through the ash cover to
ensure adequate air supply for both
convection air and burner combustion.
3 THE HEARTH
The hearth must be made of a non combustible material at least 12mm in thickness
and must meet the dimensional requirements shown in figure 1. The Heating
Appliances (Fireguards) (Safety) Regulations 1991 are part of the Consumer
Protection Act. It is a criminal offence to fit a Euroglow Inset burner into a fireplace
where the periphery of the hearth is less than 50mm (2”) above the floor level.
Under BS 5871: Part 2 the installation of a fender of 50mm (2”) height will satisfy the
height requirement.
4 THE CHIMNEY FLUE
For radiant firebox installations the chimney should be of the open-flue type and
have a minimum cross sectional dimension of not less than 175mm. For basket
installations the cross section size and the height should be matched to the cross
section of the fireplace opening (See BS 5871 Part 3).
5 The flue must have a minimum effective height of 3 metres.
6 No restrictor plate or flue damper is permitted. Where a variable damper is fitted,
this must be removed or fixed permanently in the fully open position.
7 The chimney must be swept before the appliance is installed and a flue test in
accordance with National Regulations must be carried out.
8 VENTILATION
The room containing the appliance must have a permanent air vent of at least
100cm². The vent must be direct to outside air or to an adjacent room having a
permanent vent of the same area.
FITTING THE APPLIANCE
1 Check that the fireplace is large enough to accept the selected basket. See figure 1.
2 Check that the ignition system functions correctly. Push and turn the control knob
and check that a spark is generated at the pilot burner. If no spark is evident then
check the soundness of the leads.
3 Check the tightness of the nut at the control valve end of the thermocouple.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten.
4 It is recommended that, before proceeding further, a simple smoke test be performed
to check the condition of the chimney. Light a smoke match or a twist of rolled
paper, hold it within the fireplace opening and observe the behaviour of the smoke.
FIGURE 1
5
If it is being drawn into the chimney proceed with the installation. If not, preheat the
chimney over the period of a few minutes and recheck. If there is any doubt about
the soundness of the chimney a smoke pellet should be used after preheating the
flue and if smoke still fails to clear, further investigation of the chimney is required
and the appliance MUST NOT be fitted.
5 The gas supply should be routed from the meter or cylinder to a point convenient to
the fireplace.
6 Cut and form a section of 8mm pipe, only rigid and semi-rigid tube is acceptable and
run this into the fireplace opening. If a concealed fitting is required, care must be
taken to sleeve the supply pipe when fitting through masonry.
7 Place the appliance centrally within the fireplace opening. N.B. No part of the
appliance should project beyond the vertical opening of the fireplace opening.
8 Using the nut and olive provided, connect the 8mm supply pipe to the combined
pressure test point and isolator fitting.
Gas Soundness Check
9 With the gas supply connected, all joints should be checked for gas soundness in
accordance with BS 6891.
NOTE: It is permissible to light the fire FOR SHORT PERIODS ONLY when the fire
is not laid with ceramics and logs.
FITTING THE APPLIANCE INTO THE OPTIONAL RADIANT FIREBOX
1 Check that the fireplace or recess is of the correct size to receive the radiant firebox.
See Figure 1.
Note: BS 5871 Part 2: requires a debris collection space of 12 dm3.
2 It is recommended that, before proceeding further, a simple smoke test be performed
to check the condition of the chimney. Light a smoke match or a twist of rolled
paper, hold it within the fireplace opening and observe the behaviour of the smoke.
If it is being drawn into the chimney proceed with the installation. If not, preheat the
chimney over a period of a few minutes and recheck. If smoke still fails to clear,
further investigation of the chimney is required and the appliance MUST NOT be
fitted.
3 In either case, clear the recess of any loose material. Ensure that the base on which
the firebox will stand is level and that the base of the recess and the hearth are
horizontal and non-combustible.
4 Slide the firebox into the opening, ensuring that the flue outlet is unobstructed and
give a clear passage for the products of combustion to the flue. (Do not seal at this
stage.)
5 The firebox should be fitted in such a manner as to be removable, for the purposes
of chimney-sweeping and easy removal of debris.
6 The gas supply should be routed from the meter or cylinder to a point convenient to
the fireplace.
7 Decide whether the gas supply is to be routed through the sides or back of the
firebox, or across the front of the fireplace. Grommeted holes are provided in the rear
and side of the box. Having determined the position of the gas pipe the appropriate
grommet can be pierced with a knife. Provision will have to be made to pass the
pipe through the masonry of the fireplace. The supply pipe should be run to make
removal for servicing easy.
6
8 Cut and form a section of 8mm pipe, only rigid or semi-rigid tube is acceptable, and
run this into the fireplace opening. If a concealed fitting is required, care must be
taken to sleeve the supply pipe when passing it through masonry. Exposed pipe
within the fire opening should be wrapped, painted with bituminous paint, or be
factory sheathed.
9 Seal the firebox into the fire opening using the sealing tape provided or a water
based mastic.
10 Fit the burner unit into its mounting brackets within the firebox.
11 Prior to connecting the burner to the gas supply, it is advisable to blow out the pipe
to clear any dirt that may be present and which could cause a blockage in the control
valve or pilot.
12 Using the nut and olive provided, connect the 8mm supply pipe to the combined
pressure test point and isolator fitting.
13 Complete the installation of the appliance as above.
ADDITIONAL NOTES FOR HANDSET REMOTE CONTROL MODEL
1 The installation of the appliance should be carried out following the procedures as
per the section entitled “Fitting the Appliance” on page 4.
2 After installing the burner, positions must be found for the battery pack and the Infra
Red (IF) signal receiver. The fret and ash pan cover will have to be put in position to
find the best place for these items.
3 Battery
Place the battery pack on the hearth along the front of the fire just behind the ash
pan cover. DO NOT PLACE THE BATTERY PACK UNDER THE FIRE.
4 Plug the small jack plug from the charger into its socket at the end of the battery
pack and plug the charger into the mains and switch on to give the batteries a top up
charge.
