1.3 Installation
1. The appliance is suitable for installation only in G.B.
and I.E. and should be installed in accordance with the
rules in force. For Ireland install in accordance with
I.S.813 “Installation of Gas Appliances”. The installation
must be carried out by a Corgi Registered Installer or
other competent person and be in accordance with the
relevant requirements of Gas Safety (Installation and
Use) Regulations 1998 (as amended), the Building
Regulations issued by the Department of the
Environment, Building Standards (Scotland)
(Consolidation) Regulations issued by the Scottish
Development Department and the Local Building
Regulations. Where no specific instructions are given,
reference should be made to the relevant BRITISH
STANDARD CODES OF PRACTICE and Installation
Specifications.
2. This appliance must be installed in accordance with
the manufacturers instructions and the rules in force and
only used in a suitably ventilated location.
Notice
Discolouration of wall surfaces
Most heating appliances generate warm air convection
currents and transfer heat to any wall surface against
which they are situated.
Some soft furnishings (such as blown vinyl wallpapers)
may not be suitable for use where they are subject to
temperatures above normal room levels and the
manufacturer’s advice should be sought before using this
type of wall covering adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining from convected air currents
will be increased in environments where high levels of
tobacco smoke or other contaminants exist.
3. Read the instructions before installing or using this
appliance.
4. The chimney should be swept before the appliance is
installed and checked annually to ensure continued
clearance of combustion products and that there is no
excessive build up of soot.
5. Soot and debris from the chimney or other sources
should periodically require removal by a competent
person.
6. Any purpose provided ventilation should be checked
periodically to ensure that it is free from obstruction.
7. Ensure that all protective plastic coating is removed
from trim and fender parts.
IMPORTANT: Do not push excess electrical cable
into void behind the fender.
