2. APPLIANCE DATA

This product uses fuel effect pieces and a burner compartment rear wall

containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous

silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes,

skin and respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important 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 RCF articles is kept to a minimum,

during installation and 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 articles, but we 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.

* When converted using Kit 0595221

The appliance data label is located on a plate at the base of the fire. This can be seen by

removing the lower hanging trim.

INSTALLER GUIDE

Figure 1. Hearth and Fireplace Opening Dimensions

Where no specific instructions are given, reference should be made to the relevant

British Standard Code of Practice.

3.2 In the United Kingdom, as supplied, this appliance can be installed in the

following situations: -

3.2.1 A masonry chimney with a minimum diameter of 175mm (7”) free from any

obstruction, and with any damper or restrictor plate in the chimney removed or secured,

and having a minimum effective flue height of 3m (10ft). A masonry chimney having a

correctly installed flue liner to BS715 and with a minimum flue diameter of 125mm is

also acceptable. Chair brick removal may not be required providing at least 50mm

clearance is available from the flue outlet to any fireplace component.

3.2.1.1 ‘Hole-in-the-wall’ Installations

! It is recommended that a hearth should be installed as in figure 1.

If a hearth is not fitted, the fire must be installed so that the distance from the

base of the fireplace opening in the wall to the finished floor level is at least 72mm.

3.2.2 To a fireplace incorporating a metal flue box conforming to BS715 with a

minimum internal depth of 195mm. Incombustible mineral wool insulation of not less

than 100mm thickness must be applied to the top surface of the firebox (See figure 2)

and it must stand on a non-combustible hearth. See figure 1.

3.2.3 To a fireplace that has a precast

concrete or clay flue block system

conforming to BS1289 or BS EN

1806. The appliance is suitable for

installations conforming to older

versions of BS1289 as well as the

current edition. The flue blocks must

have a minimum width not less than

63mm and a cross-sectional area not

less than 13,000mm2.Older editions

of BS1289 required a cross-sectional

area of 13,000mm2. The current

revision of the standard requires

16,500mm2. This appliance is

suitable in both cases. The total depth

of the opening measured from the

finished front of the fireplace

(Including plaster, surround etc.)

Page 7

INSTALLER GUIDE

Figure 2. Metal Flue Box

must be not less than the dimension shown in figure 3.

The current versions of BS1289 and BS EN 1806 recommend that there should be an air

space or insulation between the flue blocks and the plaster because heat transfer may

cause cracking on directly plastered flues. However, generally this appliance is suitable

for installations under all circumstances unless there is a history of cracking problems.

Remember that faults such as cracking may be caused by poorly built and restrictive

flues, e.g. mortar extrusions, too

many bends, flue heights below

three metres, restrictive

terminations, etc.

3.2.4 If the fireplace opening is

greater than the acceptable

dimensions given in this guide, do

not use the back of a fire surround

or marble to reduce the opening.

This may cause cracking of the

surround back or marble.

3.3 The following flues are

suitable:

! 225mm x 225mm

conventional brick flue.

If a flue liner is used, it must be a

minimum of 125mm diameter.

The liner must be sealed to the

surrounding area above the

fireplace opening and to the top of

the chimney. An approved

terminal must be fitted.

! 200mm diameter factory made

insulated flue manufactured to BS

4543.

! A properly constructed precast flue conforming to B.S 1289 or BS EN 1806.

A flue pipe with a minimum diameter of 175mm. See B.S 6461 Part 1 for suitable

materials. Metal flue pipes must comply with B.S 715.

! Single wall, twin wall or flexible flue liner of minimum diameter 125mm. The

materials used are stainless steel or aluminium as specified in B.S. 715.

3.3.1 The minimum effective height of the flue must be 3m.

3.3.2 The flue must be clear of any obstruction and its base must be clear of debris.

Page 8

INSTALLER GUIDE

Figure 3. Pre-cast Fireplace

3.3.3

The flue must be completely sealed so that combustion products do not come into

contact with combustible materials outside the chimney.

3.3.4 The flue must serve only one fireplace.

3.4 The flue must conform to BS 5440: Part 1 in design and installation.

The flue, measured from the bottom of the fireplace opening to the bottom of the

terminal, shall be not less than 3m in actual vertical height. When calculated in

accordance with BS 5440: Part 1 Annex A, the minimum equivalent

height of the flue

shall be 2.0m of 125mm dia. flue pipe.

3.5 The flue must not be used for any other appliance or application.

3.6 Any chimney dampers or restrictors should be removed. If removal is not

possible they must be fixed in the open position.

3.7 If the appliance is intended to be installed to a chimney, which 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.

3.8 If the fireplace opening is an underfloor draught type, it must be sealed to stop

any draughts.

3.9 The appliance must be mounted behind a non-combustible hearth (N.B.

conglomerate marble hearths are considered as non-combustible). The appliance can be

fitted to a purpose made proprietary class “O”-150°C surround. The hearth material

must be at least 12mm thick. The periphery of the hearth (or fender) should be at least

50mm above floor level to discourage the placing of carpets or rugs over it.

The appliance must not stand on combustible materials or carpets (See figure 1).

3.10

The front face of the fireplace should be reasonably flat over the area covered by

the convector box top and side flange seals to ensure good sealing. These faces should

be made good if necessary. The fireplace floor should be reasonably flat to ensure that a

good seal with the convector box can be made.

INSTALLER GUIDE

3.11 The minimum height from the top surface of the hearth to the underside of any

shelf made from wood or other combustible materials is detailed below.

• For a shelf up to 150mm deep: Minimum height = 750mm.

• For a shelf deeper than 150mm: 150mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over

150mm. (See Graph 1)

3.12 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.

3.13

The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or shower

or where steam is regularly present.

3.14

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.

3.15 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
