good if necessary. If the
appliance is to be fitted
against a wall with
combustible cladding, the
cladding must be removed
from the area covered by
the fascia. The cladding
must also not touch the
fascia (See figure 4). We
suggest that the actual fascia
is used as a template to
mark the area for
combustible cladding
removal and that this area is
increased by at least 2mm
all round.

5.1.3

 Soundness for appliance attachment

Two primary methods of retaining the appliance are provided: -
1)

By fixing to the fireplace front surround.

2)

Using concealed tension cables fixed to the rear of the fireplace opening together

with secondary fixing to the fireplace floor.
The methods are detailed in section 9 of this manual. Before selecting the retention
method, consult with the customer. Method 2 is provided for instances where drilling
holes in the front surface of the fireplace surround is unacceptable to the customer or
otherwise impractical. 

N.B. It is unwise to attempt to drill into marble without the

proper tools and equipment

.

If method 1 is chosen, make sure that the front surround area is sound enough to take
the fibre plugs and woodscrews. If necessary, make sound with a suitable cement.
If method 2 is chosen, make sure that the areas at the back and towards the centre of the
fireplace floor are sound enough to take the eyebolts and screws. If these areas have
deteriorated due to prolonged use, they should be made sound with a suitable cement.

5.1.4

Installations using a metal flue box

The whole of the top surface of the metal flue box must be covered with a 100mm layer
of mineral wool or equivalent insulation (See figure 2).

5.2 Fireplace flue pull.

Close all doors and windows in the room in which the appliance is to be installed. After
confirming with a match that smoke is drawn into the flue, light a 13 gram smoke pellet
and check that there is a definite flow through the flue. Verify outside that the smoke
exits from one terminal only and that the termination is suitable. Observe, where
possible, upstairs rooms and loft spaces for signs of escaping smoke indicating a
