4.6 Installation Instructions
General Requirements
The installation should only be carried out by a CORGI Registered fitter and
in accordance with national and local Regulations for both Gas & Electricity.
The installation must also be in accordance with the relevant parts of local and
national building regulations.
For the Republic of Ireland, reference should be made to IS 813 and ICP3 and
any guidance notes from Bord Gais.
Failure to have the fire fitted by a qualified person nullifies
ALL guarantees.
The area the fire is to be installed must have a wall vent of at least 100cm² of
ventilation and an open able window. The vent must be positioned at least 1
metre away from the appliance.
Ventilation openings should never be blocked or restricted in any way.
In the Republic of Ireland two vents, each 60 cm² of free air, one not less that
1.6m above the other, must be installed in the room.
When providing ventilation openings, consideration must be given to the
avoidance of locations where discomfort from draughts may cause the user to
block the openings. Similarly the possibility of curtains or furniture blocking
ventilation openings must be considered.
Floor vents, window vents or chimneys are not suitable means of
ventilation.
On no account must inlet or outlet grilles be obstructed.
The Fire Pod must not be fitted in an internal space of less than 26 m³ in
volume. Adjoining spaces, not separated by a door may be included. To
convert cubic feet (ft³) to cubic metre (m³) divide the room volume in cubic
feet by 35.3
The fire must not be fitted in bed sitting rooms, basements which are not open on
at least one side (an open able window), bathrooms or bedrooms, in corridors,
stairways, landings or hallways of multi occupancy dwellings, garages or rooms
containing petroleum products.
In the event of gas leakage from the appliance, the gas supply must be
turned off at the nearest isolating valve.
