1. SAFETY
Installer
Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read
the following guide to manual handling.
The lifting weight (kg) of this appliance is as below:
Heat Engine Fascia
9.35 5.05
One person should be sufficient to lift the fire. If for any reason this weight is
considered too heavy then obtain assistance.
When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs and not your back.
Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.
Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forward or sideways whilst
handling the fire.
Always grip with the palm of the hand. Do not use the tips of fingers for support.
Always keep the fire as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the
cantilever action.
Use gloves to provide additional grip.
Always use assistance if required.

The appliance information label is on the inner face of the back panel at the lower left
hand side. It is visible when the fascia is removed.
This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from asbestos or
asbestos related products.
The efficiency of this appliance has been measured as specified in BS 7977 - 1 and
the result is as below:
Model Efficiency % (Gross)
347 Firelite and Regency 71
The gross calorific value of the fuel has been used for this efficiency calculation. The
test data from which it has been calculated has been certified by Advantica
Certification services (0087). The efficiency value may be used in the UK
Government's Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) for energy rating of dwellings.

The conversion of net efficiency to gross was achieved by multiplying the net
efficiency by the following conversion factor from Table E3 of SAP 2005, rounding
down to the nearest whole number.
4. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
4.1 The installation must be in accordance with these instructions.
For the user’s protection, in the United Kingdom it is the law that all gas appliances
are installed by competent persons in accordance with the current edition of the Gas

Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant
British Standard Code of Practice.
4.2 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney that was previously
used for solid fuel, the flue must be swept clean prior to installation. All flues should
be inspected for soundness and freedom from blockages.
4.3 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not
possible they must be fixed in the open position.
4.4 Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5871 Part 2
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 “Domestic gas
Installations” which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available
4.5 Note that soft wall coverings (e.g. embossed vinyl, etc.) are easily affected by
heat. They may scorch or become discoloured when close to a heating appliance.
Please bear this in mind when installing.
4.6 The minimum allowable distance from the outside of the appliance fascia to a
corner wall having combustible material or any other combustible surface which
projects beyond the front of the appliance is 50mm at either side (See figure 1). No
side clearance is necessary to non-combustible surfaces.

4.7 The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or
shower or where steam is regularly present.
4.8 An extractor fan may only be used in the same room as this appliance, or in any
area from which ventilation for the appliance is taken, if it does not affect the safe
performance of the appliance. Note the spillage test requirements detailed further on
in this manual. If the fan is likely to affect the appliance, the appliance must not be
installed unless the fan is permanently disconnected.
4.9 The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the
appliance closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the
consumer should be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and
appliance have been thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if
an unacceptable amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no
circumstances should the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only genuine
manufacturers’ replacement parts should be fitted.
4.10 Allow a minimum clearance of 90mm from the top surface of the appliance
fascia to the underside of any shelf whether it is made from combustible or non-
combustible materials. This clearance is necessary to allow the fascia to be lifted off
for servicing and also allows the owner sufficient access to operate the control knob.
For a shelf made from wood or other combustible materials deeper than 150mm,
add 12.5mm to the clearance for every 25mm of additional shelf depth (See graph 1).
