INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Preliminary Notes Before Installation

This appliance is a high efficiency, flueless, flame effect gas fire.  It provides
radiant and convected warmth both efficiently and safely utilising the latest
type catalytic convertor burner technology.

The appliance incorporates a combustion monitoring system (Oxygen
Depletion System). It must not be adjusted or put out of operation. If
replaced then manufacturers original parts must be used. (see User
Instructions).

The appliance is designed to fit various types of situations as listed in the
Installation Requirements.  

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in force and only
used in a sufficiently ventilated space.  A minimum of 100cm

(15.5in

2

) pur-

pose provided ventilation is required for this appliance. An openable window
or louvre is also required. This appliance is factory set for operation on the
gas type, and at the pressure stated on the appliance data plate.

The minimum room size should be as stated in section 3.1 of these instruc-
tions to allow adequate circulation of air and ensure the correct operation of
the fire. This volume may include adjacent spaces but these spaces must not
be separated by a door. In order to convert from cubic feet (ft

3

) to cubic

metres (m

3

) divide the room volume (in ft

3

) by 35.3. This appliance is intend-

ed as a secondary source of heat only and should not be used in a room with-
out some form of background heating present.

The appliance must not be installed in a bedroom, bathroom or any sleeping
area.  The appliance does not require a flue system of any type as the cat-
alytic converter cleans the products of combustion to provide a complete
combustion system, which is intrinsically safe.

The appliance must be installed by a competent person in accordance with
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 or rules in force. It is
strongly recommended that a CORGI registered engineer is used for this pur-
pose, as they are the only persons approved by the HSE under the above reg-
ulations.

On initial light up of a new appliance, the ‘newness’ will burn off within the
first few hours of operation. During this period some smoke may be emitted
from outlet grille, this should be no cause for concern. Accordingly, the room
should be well ventilated with all windows and doors open during this period.

Read all these instructions before commencing installation.
