REGULATORY INFORMATION AND INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
THE FOLLOWING MUST BE NOTED PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE.
This gas appliance MUST be installed by a GAS SAFE registered installer by law. It must be installed in
accordance to these installaon instrucons and the GAS SAFETY (Installaon & Use) REGULATIONS 1998 as
amended. Non compliance of this law may lead to prosecuon and it is in the interest of you and your family
that this condion is observed.
The installaon of this appliance must be in accordance with the relevant parts of the LOCAL AND NATIONAL
BUILDING REGULATIONS as issued by the Department of the Environment or BUILDING STANDARD (Scotland
Consolidaon) REGULATIONS issued by the Scosh Development Department and the following relevant
Brish Standards:
BS5871 Part 2 Installaon of Inset Live Fuel Effect Gas Fires
BS5440 Parts 1 & 2 Installaon of Flues and Venlaon
BS6891 Installaon of Gas Pipe-work
BS6461 Part 1 Installaon of Chimneys and Flues
BS1251 Open Fireplace Components
BS715/BS EN 1856-2 Metal Flue Boxes / Metal Flue Pipes for Gas Appliances
BS EN 1858 / BS1289 Chimneys Components & Concrete Flue Blocks
IS813:1996 Domesc Gas Installaon (Republic of Ireland)
Prior to installaon ensure that the gas supply is compable with the appliance, this appliance must only be
used on natural gas at a supply pressure of 20 mbar as marked on the data plate on the appliance and the
carton.
This appliance must be installed onto a non-combusble surface with a thickness of at least 12mm. See page 8
& 9 for hearth informaon.
This appliance is can be installed into a builders opening which must be constructed of non-combusble
materials confirming to BS1251 or a suitable flue-box complying with the requirements of BS715/BS EN 1856-2.
If the product is being installed into a builders opening the chimney must be at least 3 metres in height and
should be swept before installaon if it has been used for the burning of solid fuel (e.g. coal or wood). The
chimney must only serve as a flue-way to this appliance and must have no openings to any other room. The
opening should be inspected and any exposed brickwork should be repaired where necessary. The chair- brick
(if applicable) should be removed. Ensure that the chimney/flue only serves one fireplace. Remove or securely
fix open any dampers or register plates.
If the product is being installed into a fabricated Flue-box (to BS715) it must be installed onto a noncombusble surface with a thickness of at least 12mm.
This fireplace is also suitable for installaon into precast flue fireplaces which comply to the requirements of BS
EN1858/ BS1289-1:1986 / BS1289:1975 and must have a cross seconal area of at least 12500mm2 for
BS1289:1975 and 16500mm2 for BS1289-1:1986 pre cast flues.
When installing into a precast flue it is extremely important to ensure that the flue is clear of spiders webs and
any other material which could impede the flow of products. Furthermore the flue-way connecng the blocks to
the terminal should be twin skin and preferably insulated to reduce heat loss. If the flue terminates in a ridge
le which is too restricve it may be necessary to change to a less restricve ridge terminal.
It is important to note that pre-cast flue systems should be constructed with an air gap or some form of
insulaon material between the flue block and the plastered face; pre-cast flue systems with a plastered face
directly in contact with the flue block are not correctly installed and installaon of this appliance into such a
flue system may result in the plaster cracking above the appliance.
Essenally a vercal flue route from the spigot is required to ensure evacuaon of combuson products. Any
overhanging brickwork or other building materials which affect the gas from rising to the flue entry should be
removed and made good. For class 1 installaons a throat lintel is recommended.
All flue types should be checked for draw using a smoke bomb or similar, if there is a definite draw then the
installaon of the appliance can proceed. A successful smoke bomb test is not a guarantee that the appliance
will draw properly as it provides a very low volume of smoke. This test is to ensure the flue-way is clear and
connected to the terminal/pot correctly and can help idenfy flue leakage.

No purpose made venlaon is normally required for this appliance when installed in G.B. If the appliance is
being installed in I.E then refer to I.S 813:1996 (Domesc Gas Installaon—Naonal Standards Authority of
Ireland). Venlaon areas (if applicable) should be checked periodically to ensure there is no obstrucon, even
though none is normally required for this appliance.
SPILLAGE TEST: A special spillage match holder is provided with this product. Do not remove this spillage tube
from the property—it must remain with the appliance at all mes for future spillage tests.
To check for sasfactory clearance of products of combuson, close all doors and windows and leave the
appliance burning on HIGH for five minutes. Insert the lit smoke match according to the instrucons on page 18,
all the smoke must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs allow a further 5 minutes and repeat the test. If
spillage sll occurs turn off the appliance and seek expert advise . If an extractor fan is situated in the room the
spillage test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a connecng room with an extractor fan the test
should be repeated with all the doors to that room open and the extractor fan running. If the spillage test
connues to fail expert advise should be sought and addional venlaon may have to be provided. SEE PAGE
18 FOR FULL DETAILS ON HOWTHE SPILLAGE CHECK SHOULD BE PERFORMED
This appliance must only be installed onto a suitable hearth* with a minimum thickness of 12mm with an overall
height of 50mm from the floor. The appliance must not be installed directly onto carpet or other combusble
floor materials. The Mantel must have a temperature rang of at least 150oC. Minimum hearth size
requirements are shown on pages 8 & 9.
*If this product is installed as a hole in the wall installaon then no hearth is technically required, however the installer should make
the customer aware of the recommendaons detailed on page 16.
Do not place so wall coverings (i.e. embossed papers etc,) furniture or other combusble items too close to the
fires as they may discolour or scorch.
Do not place or throw rubbish or otherwise onto the fuel-bed.
Do not place any combusble materials or flooring (i.e. carpets etc,) on any part of the hearth.
WARNING: This appliance has a naked flame and/or hot glass surface and as with all heang appliances a
fireguard should be used for the protecon of children, the elderly and infirm. The fireguard should conform to
BS8423 : 2002 (Fireguards for use with Gas Heang Appliances).
Important Note: It is quite normal for a flame effect gas appliance to experience a small amount of soot or
staining to some parts of the fuel effect components. If this becomes excessive it may be because the fuel bed
is not fied correctly—this should be checked according to these installaon instrucons prior to contacng a
service engineer.
It is very important that you arrange for a GAS SAFE registered engineer to service your appliance every year –
during this service the engineer will remove the appliance and check for debris, check the operaon of the flue
and check the operaon of the appliance. This is important for you and your families safety.
NEVER place any rubbish or otherwise onto the fire—this will affect the way the product operates and may
affect the warranty of the product.
NEVER place more ceramic components onto the fuel bed than specified in the instrucons.
NEVER touch the glass or ceramics when the appliance has recently been switched off—these components
retain heat and may cause burns. Leave the appliance to sufficiently cool prior to any contact of the ceramics.
There are THREE methods of installaon which can be employed for this appliance,
mainly dependant upon the fireplace opening type, Class 1 Class 2 or Precast Flue.
The following three pages detail each installaon type.
5
INSTALLATION TYPE A
These diagrams detail the installaon of the appliance into a standard 16” x 22” opening.
This method of installaon is suitable for both Class 1 and Class 2 installaons.
This installaon requires a 900 STANDARD MANTEL. For crical dimensions see page 8.
The 900 FIXING PLATE supplied is firmly
aached to the builders opening aer
the hearth has been installed. Screws
and rawl plugs are provided for this
purpose. For minimum hearth
requirements see page 8.
Using mortar or fondue around the
inside edge of the plate/builders
opening this 900 FIXING PLATE should
be sealed and fixed into place as if it
were a marble back panel. It is
important that no leakage should
occur. See further details on page 14.
Furthermore a suitable high
temperature masc should be used to
further seal around the outside edge of
the 900 FIXING PLATE and the wall.
The TYPE A INSTALLATION is
completed by installing the 900
STANDARD MANTEL to the wall
securely. The mantel should be centred
around the FIXING PLATE.
The crical dimensions of the 900
STANDARD MANTEL are detailed on
page 8. These crical dimensions
ensure that the front trim plate of the
fire and the front face of the mantel
are aligned.
The front trim plate of the appliance is
fully adjustable with four independent
magnets. These magnets can be
screwed in or out to posion the front
trim plate correctly. This adjustment is
provided as there may be some
variaon in the wall flatness and level.
See page 17 for full details regarding
front trim installaon and adjustment.
Ensure the hearth is set level before connuing with
the installaon. Failure to install a level hearth could
affect the installaon of the mantel and appliance.
6
INSTALLATION TYPE B
These diagrams detail the installaon of the appliance into a Pre Cast Flue block and
a 900 STANDARD MANTEL is being fied.
For details on 900 STANDARD MANTEL crical dimensions see page 8
The 900 PRECAST SPACER KIT is used to create an interface
between the precast flue and the 900 FIXING PLATE.
Temporarily fit the hearth and firmly aach the FIXING
PLATE to the wall. See further details on page 12.
Using mortar or fondue around the inside edge of the
SPACER/FLUE should be sealed and fixed into place as if it
were a marble back panel. It is important that no leakage
should occur.
Now remove the hearth carefully to avoid damage whilst the
stud work proceeds.
Timber studding is acceptable providing a 25mm gap is le
around the 900 PRECAST SPACER. Plasterboard the area thus
creang a thin false chimney breast. The front face of the
plasterboard should be around 2-3mm rearward of the front
face of the 900 PRECAST SPACER. Once the area is skimmed
with plaster the surface should be level. For clarity the total
thickness of the false chimney breast should be the same as
the spacer thickness, i.e 55mm.
For minimum hearth requirements see page 8.
The 900 FIXING PLATE is then screwed to the 900 PRECAST
SPACER using the screws provided, then using fire cement or
similar around the inside edge of the joint between the 900
FIXING PLATE and the 900 PRECAST SPACER. Furthermore a
suitable high temperature masc should be used to further
seal around the outside edge of the 900 FIXING PLATE and
the SPACER. See further details on page 13.
It is extremely important that both the 900 PRECAST SPACER
and the 900 FIXING PLATE are sealed to the flue as
essenally a complete fireplace opening. Check the integrity
of the spacer and fixing plate installaon before proceeding.
The TYPE B INSTALLATION is completed by installing the 900
STANDARD MANTEL to the wall securely. The mantel should
be centred around the 900 FIXING PLATE.

detailed on page 8. These crical dimensions ensure that the
front trim plate of the fire and the front face of the mantel
are aligned.
The front trim plate of the appliance is fully adjustable with
four independent magnets. These magnets can be screwed
in or out to posion the front trim plate correctly. This
adjustment is provided as there may be some variaon in
the wall flatness and level.
See page 17 for full details regarding front trim installaon
and adjustment.
Ensure the hearth is set level before connuing
with the installaon. Failure to install a level
hearth could affect the installaon of the
mantel and appliance.
